CartoDB Baselayer Requires API Key - Map Layer Carto Positron & Dark Matter
Describe the bug A few days ago, CartoDB changed its access model so that all base layers now require an API key: https://github.com/CartoDB/basemap-styles
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a new Dashboard & add a Geo Map Widget
- Select Map Layer Openstreet Positron or Openstreet DarkMatter
- Observe Watermark "API KEY REQUIRED"
Expected behavior There is an option with a predefined API Key or a setting where Users can enter their own API Key. Similar to the Google Maps layers:
Additional context API Keys are free with a fair use limit of 5 million requests per Month. But one has to create a CARTO account: https://carto.com/basemaps/
