# ArcGIS Pro

### **Orthomosaics**

Spexi provides [**WMTS**](#add-spexi-orthomosaics-as-a-wmts-layer) and [**XYZ**](#add-spexi-orthomosaics-as-an-xyz-tile-layer) tile service URLs that allow you to stream orthomosaics directly into ArcGIS Pro.

* **WMTS** (recommended for users familiar with WMS/WMTS workflows)
* **XYZ tiles** (fast, simple, and works with “Add Data From Path”)

### Add Spexi Orthomosaics as a WMTS Layer

Use this method if you are working with the **WMTS URL** provided in the Spexi Integrations page.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Copy Your WMTS URL 

Use the standard WMTS Capabilities URL like this:

```
https://world.spexi.com/developer-api/mapi/v1/org/ORG_ID/layer/LAYER_ID/raster-tile/WebMercatorQuad/WMTSCapabilities.xml

```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Create a WMTS Server Connection

* Open **ArcGIS Pro**
* Open an existing project or create a new one
* In the top ribbon, go to the **Insert** tab
* Click **Connections**
* Select **New WMTS Server**

A configuration window will appear.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enter Your Spexi WMTS URL + Custom Authorization

* In the **Server URL** field, paste your WMTS URL
* Click **Add Custom Parameter**
* Set:
  * **Parameter:** `api_key`
  * **Value:** *(paste your API key)*
* Click **OK**

Your new WMTS connection will now appear under **Catalog → Servers**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add the Orthomosaic to the Map

* Open the **Catalog** pane (View → Catalog Pane if needed)
* Expand **Servers**
* Find your newly created WMTS connection
* Expand it to reveal your Spexi orthomosaic layer
* Drag the layer into your map
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Zoom to the Layer

If the map is blank:

* In the **Contents** pane, right-click the Spexi layer
* Select **Zoom To Layer** to view the imagery
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Add Spexi Orthomosaics as an XYZ Tile Layer

ArcGIS Pro can load XYZ tiles directly using **Add Data From Path**.

This method is simple and works well for users who prefer XYZ URLs.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Build Your XYZ URL With API Key

From the Spexi Integrations page, copy your XYZ URL and append your API key:

```
https://world.spexi.com/developer-api/mapi/v1/org/ORG_ID/layer/LAYER_ID/raster-tile/WebMercatorQuad/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

```

Keep `{z}`, `{x}`, and `{y}` exactly as provided.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add XYZ Tiles Using “Add Data From Path”

* In **ArcGIS Pro**, open your project
* Go to the **Map** tab
* Click **Add Data**
* From the dropdown, select **Add Data From Path**
* Paste your full XYZ URL (including `?api_key=`)
* Click **Add**

ArcGIS Pro will detect the URL as a valid Web Tiled Layer and display it
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Zoom to the Layer

If the imagery is not immediately visible:

* In the **Contents** pane, right-click the Spexi XYZ layer
* Select **Zoom To Layer**
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save for Reuse (Optional)

To reuse this XYZ connection across projects:

* Right-click the Spexi XYZ layer in the **Contents** pane
* Click **Save As Layer File**
* Save the `.lyrx` file in a shared GIS resources folder
* Next time, simply drag the `.lyrx` file into your map
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
