Hi :)

I’m trying to add the vector map from basemap.de as my background map for exports in FME 2026.2. However, I cannot make it work. I used the following link and MVT as my feature reader.
I get an error regarding a missing API key. Has anyone ever used basemap.de as their background map and can tell me if there’s a simpler way to add it (and also be able to crop the data to my AOI before reading all of it, which covers the entire country), or if I need to somehow request an API code to use this map?

Here’s the link (which I am also not sure if it’s the correct one):

Thanks!
