API for static Panorama

Panorama on Mapy.cz is a feature similar to Street View that allows you to explore most streets in the Czech Republic and look around in all directions.

For developers, there are currently two ways to use Panorama:

• JS Panorama – A JavaScript component that provides your users with a similar experience to Mapy.cz. It allows free navigation and movement in a panoramic view directly within your application. Read more in the JS Panorama section.
• Static Panorama (covered in this section) – A REST API that returns a static image of a selected location view. Simply embed it using <img src="...">, specifying the position and view direction in the parameters. The image is fixed and cannot be rotated further.

The image on the right is generated using the static panorama function with this code.

Where to Use Static Panorama

• The static panorama is most commonly used when you need to display a photo of a specific location but don’t have one available. Instead of a photo, you can show a panoramic view of that place.
• It can also be used as a quick-loading placeholder where you want to offer users access to a dynamic panorama. Instead of immediately loading JavaScript for the “full” panorama, a static view is shown first, and the dynamic JS Panorama loads only after the user clicks on it.
