Historically, these layers have been limited to the United States and neighboring regions, which means they aren’t useful for users in other parts of the world.

We recently published a blog detailing how users can fetch data from the API using the new JavaScript SDK. This time we’ll spend a few minutes diving into the SDK’s static weather maps using the AerisWeather Mapping Platform (AMP). Setup We’re going to assume you’re using front-end JavaScript in an HTML document for this example. Prior to adding static weather maps to our page, we will need a get a few items setup. First, we’ll need to include the library like so: [crayon-642463ad972a4692378438/] This can be added in the header or the body. Next, let’s instantiate the library and make sure...
