QT Location OSM API Key required

[Markus Ippy]

I am trying to build a QML Map with the OSM plugin . All the map tiles show Api Key required
How do i set the API key in my QML code ?

Hi,

Can you share a minimal buildable example that shows that behaviour ?

my example

import QtQuick 2.8
import QtLocation 5.9
import QtPositioning 5.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

Item {
    id: mapItem
    anchors.fill: parent

    Rectangle{
        anchors.fill: parent
        Plugin {
            id: mapPlugin
            name: "osm"
        }

        Map {
            id: map
            height : 480
            width : 800
            plugin: mapPlugin
            zoomLevel: 16
            activeMapType: map.supportedMapTypes[1]
            copyrightsVisible : false
            gesture.enabled: false
            tilt: 0
            color: "black"
            center: marker.coordinate

            // Draw a small red circle for current Vehicle Location
            MapQuickItem {
                id: marker
                anchorPoint.x: 10
                anchorPoint.y: 10
                width: 15
                coordinate: QtPositioning.coordinate(-25.8,28.1)
                sourceItem: Rectangle {
                    id: image
                    width:20
                    height: width
                    radius: width*0.5
                    color: "red"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi,

I realise this topic is a bit old but I've just run into this same issue myself, and have discovered a solution for it. So for the sake of anyone else coming across this on Google the mechanism I discovered for providing an API key to the OSM plugin is to set up your own providers repository, that way you can specify the API key as part of the URL template.

I made a simple github repo with a script for creating a repository here: https://github.com/Elleo/qt-osm-map-providers

And I wrote up a more detailed explanation of everything on my blog here: https://blog.mikeasoft.com/2020/06/22/qt-qml-maps-using-the-osm-plugin-with-api-keys/

Hope that helps,
Mike

@MikeSheldon hi
import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15
import QtLocation 5.15
import QtPositioning 5.15

height: 480
visible: true
title: qsTr("Hello World")

Map{
    id: mapView
    anchors.fill: parent
    plugin: Plugin{
        id:mapPlugin
        name: "osm"
        PluginParameter { name: "osm.mapping.providersrepository.address"; value: "http://www.mywebsite.com/osm_repository" }
        PluginParameter { name: "osm.mapping.highdpi_tiles"; value: true }
    }
    activeMapType: supportedMapTypes[1] // Cycle map provided by Thunderforest
}

}
this is my qml code i have an api key where can I give in this code

You currently cannot, unfortunately. There is a feature request for it: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-115742

The feature request describes how to patch qgeotiledmappingmanagerengineosm.cpp to accept an API key (the source code is at https://github.com/qt/qtlocation/blob/dev/src/plugins/geoservices/osm/qgeotiledmappingmanagerengineosm.cpp )
