Maps Web Snapshots
Create a static image of a map from a URL.
Overview
Use the Maps Web Snapshots service to generate static map images from a URL. You can use Snapshots any time that an interactive map isn’t required, and in any place you typically use an image URL — in web pages, and in places where JavaScript isn’t available, such as email clients.

To learn how to construct a signed and validated snapshot URL, see Generating a URL and Signature to Create a Maps Web Snapshot. You generate the required signature using credentials obtained through your Apple Developer account. See Creating a Maps identifier and a private key to learn how to get these credentials. You can also obtain HTML to show information about a place using Create a Map.
