How to get your Token to access the Web Viewer

The embeddable web viewer requires a token to be passed through to get access to the layers. This article explains how to get the Token.

Your 1map username and password is used to obtain a token that should be passed as a URL parameter to the online Viewer.

Here is sample code for retrieving your token (Adjust to the back-end language that you are using.):

var 1mapUsername = "map_viewer@1map.co.za";
var 1mapPassword = "map_viewer98";
var token = "";

var jqxhr = $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "https://www.1map.co.za/api/v1/auth/login/",
    dataType: "json",
    timeout: 60000 * 2, // 2 minutes
    data: {
    email: TEMPmapUsername,
    password: TEMPmapPassword,
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
    // alert(error);
},
success: function (response) {
    if (response && response.result) {
    token = response.apiToken.token;
        if (response.result.maprestriction) {
            maprestriction = response.result.maprestriction;
        }
    }
},
    async: false,
});
