# Use OGC Services with ArcGIS

Planet provides seamless options to integrate its imagery into GIS workflows through **Basemap and Scene Tiles** or **OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) Services**.

* **Basemap and Scene Tiles**: Pre-processed, ready-to-use tile layers ideal for visualization. These include curated mosaics or individual scenes and are supported via WMTS and XYZ protocols.
* **OGC Services**: Industry-standard protocols like WMS and WMTS enable dynamic data querying and analysis for advanced geospatial applications.

## Using Planet Tile Services in ArcGIS Online

Planet Basemaps can be added to ArcGIS Online using **WMTS** or **XYZ** protocols.

### Supported Protocols

* **WMTS (Web Map Tile Service)**
* **XYZ Tile Service**

For additional details, see the [Tile Services Overview](https://docs.planet.com/develop/apis/tiles.md).

### Adding a WMTS Layer to ArcGIS Online

#### WMTS URL Structure

`https://api.planet.com/basemaps/v1/mosaics/wmts`

#### Steps

1. Open **ArcGIS Online Map Viewer** and navigate to **Add Layer from URL**.

   ![ArcGIS Online Add Layer from URL](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-add-layer-url.webp)

2. Select **WMTS OGC Web Service** from the dropdown menu.

3. Enter the WMTS base URL (without the `api_key`):<br />`https://api.planet.com/basemaps/v1/mosaics/wmts`

   ![ArcGIS Online Enter WMTS URL](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-enter-wmts-url.webp)

4. Click **Add Custom Parameters** and enter:

   * **Parameter:** `api_key`
   * **Value:** `[Your API Key]` ![ArcGIS Online Add Custom Parameters](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-add-custom-parameters.webp)

5. Select the desired basemap and click **Add to map**.

   ![ArcGIS Online Select Basemap from the Layer Selection Menu](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-select-basemap.webp)

6. The basemap is now added and displayed in the **Map Viewer**.

### Adding an XYZ Layer to ArcGIS Online

#### XYZ URL Structure for Mosaics

`https://tiles{0-3}.planet.com/basemaps/v1/planet-tiles/{mosaic_name}/gmap/{level}/{col}/{row}.png?api_key={api-key}`

#### Steps

1. Open ArcGIS Online Map Viewer and navigate to **Add Layer from URL**.

2. Enter the full XYZ URL, including the `api_key` and the mosaic name. For example:

   `https://tiles1.planet.com/basemaps/v1/planet-tiles/global_monthly_2019_12_mosaic/gmap/{level}/{col}/{row}.png?api_key=[Your API Key]`

   ![ArcGIS Online Enter XYZ Tile Service URL](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-xyz-enter-url.webp)

3. Click **Next** and enter the **Title (mosaic\_name)** and **Attribution**.

   ![ArcGIS Online Enter Title and Attribution for XYZ Tile Layer](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-xyz-enter-title-attribution.webp)

4. Click **Add to map** and you will see the XYZ Tile Layer added to the map.

   ![ArcGIS Online Add XYZ Tile Layer to Map](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-xyz-add-to-map.webp)

#### XYZ URL Structure for Individual Scenes

Use the following URL structure to load individual scenes:

`https://tiles{0-3}.planet.com/data/v1/{item_type}/{item_id}/{level}/{col}/{row}.png?api_key={api-key}`

To view multiple scenes, include a comma separated list of item IDs in the URL. For example:

`https://tiles{0-3}.planet.com/data/v1/PSScene3Band/20200516_171114_50_2271,20200516_171112_30_2271/{level}/{col}/{row}.png?api_key=[Your API Key]`

#### Overzooming in ArcGIS Online

To zoom beyond the default resolution of basemaps, add the zmax parameter to your URL. For example:

`https://api.planet.com/basemaps/v1/series/431b62a0-eaf9-45e7-acf1-d58278176d52/wmts?zmax=3`

Then, click **Add Custom Parameters** and enter:

* **Parameter:** `api_key`
* **Value:** `[Your API Key]`

## Using WMS in ArcGIS Online with the OGC API

OGC API WMS (Web Map Service) layers can be added to ArcGIS Online for visualization and analysis.

### Steps to Configure WMS in ArcGIS Online

1. **Open ArcGIS Online**

   * Navigate to [ArcGIS Online](https://www.arcgis.com/) and sign in.
   * If you don’t have an account, you can create one.

2. **Access the Map Viewer**

   * Once logged in, click on **Map** in the top navigation bar to open the world map interface.

3. **Add a Layer from the URL**

   * Open ArcGIS Online Map Viewer and navigate to **Add Layer from URL**. ![ArcGIS Online Add Layer from URL](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-add-layer-url.webp)

4. **Retrieve Your WMS URL**

   * Go to the **Configuration Utility** in the Dashboard application.

     ![OGC API Navigate to the Configuration Utility in the Dashboard](/platform/integrations/arcgis/sentinel-hub-go-to-configuration-utility.webp)

   * Open (or create a new configuration) the configuration you want to display in ArcGIS Online.

   * In the left-hand dropdown menu of the Configuration Utility, select **WMS**.

   * Copy the WMS endpoint, which will look like this: `https://services.sentinel-hub.com/ogc/wms/{Instance_ID}`

   * Replace `{Instance_ID}` with your specific instance ID.

     ![OGC API Replace Instance ID](/platform/integrations/arcgis/sentinel-hub-replace-instance-id.webp)

5. **Add the WMS URL to ArcGIS Online**

   * Paste the WMS URL into the **URL** field in the **Add Layer from URL** dialog.

     ![OGC API Paste WMS URL](/platform/integrations/arcgis/sentinel-hub-paste-wms-url.webp)

   * Click **Next** to fetch the available layers.

6. **Select Layers to Add**

   * After you click **Next**, a list of layers available in your OGC API configuration appear.

   * By default, no layers will be selected. Choose the layers you want to display by selecting them individually.

     ![OGC API Select Layers to Add](/platform/integrations/arcgis/sentinel-hub-select-layers.webp)

   * Click **Add to map** once you make your selection.

7. **View and Interact with Layers**

   * The added configuration appears in the **Layers** panel on the left.

   * Expand the configuration to reveal its layers.

   * Select a layer and zoom in to view the imagery. Layers may not display if you are not zoomed in sufficiently.

## Using WMS in ArcGIS Online with the OGC API

OGC API WMS (Web Map Service) layers can be added to ArcGIS Online for visualization and analysis.

### Steps to Configure WMS in ArcGIS Pro

1. **Open ArcGIS Pro**

   * Launch **ArcGIS Pro** and open an existing project or create a new one.

   * Navigate to the **Catalog** pane on the right. If it’s not visible, enable it by going to **View > Catalog Pane**.

     ![ArcGIS Pro Launch and Open Catalog Pane](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-pro-launch-catalog-pane.webp)

2. **Add a WMS Connection**

   * In the **Catalog** pane, expand the **Project** tab and right-click **Servers**.

   * Select **New WMS Server Connection** from the context menu.

     ![ArcGIS Pro Adding a New WMS Server Connection](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-pro-add-wms-connection.webp)

3. **Configure the WMS Server**

   * In the **Add WMS Server Connection** dialog:

     * Paste the WMS **URL** into the URL field:
       * `https://services.sentinel-hub.com/ogc/wms/{Instance_ID}`

   * Replace `{Instance_ID}` with your specific instance ID.

     ![OGC API Replace Instance ID](/platform/integrations/arcgis/sentinel-hub-replace-instance-id.webp)

   * Click **OK** to validate and save the connection. If the URL is correct, the connection will be added under the **Servers** folder.

     ![ArcGIS Pro Validate and Save WMS Server Connection](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-pro-save-wms-connection.webp)

4. **Add Layers to the Map**

   * In the **Catalog** pane, expand **Servers** and double-click the newly added WMS connection.
   * A list of available layers will appear. Right-click a layer and select **Add to Current Map**. ![ArcGIS Pro Adding WMS Layers to the Map](/platform/integrations/arcgis/arcgis-pro-add-wms-layer.webp)

5. **Customize Layer Visibility**

   * Open the **Contents** pane on the left to view the added layers.

   * To prevent performance issues:

     * Turn off all layers by unchecking their boxes.
     * Enable layers one by one as needed.

   * Zoom in to the desired area of interest. Layers will not render at scales that are too small.
