[GIS] Adding a map from a website into QGIS

qgisweb-mapping

I need to add a historical map from a website into QGIS. I installed the QuickMapServices Plugin and I tried to make new XYZ connections, but nothing appeared.

The website is: https://mapire.eu/en/map/secondsurvey-hungary/?layers=osm%2C5&bbox=2108467.652103985%2C6019839.160187972%2C2134246.039893161%2C6027482.863016489

I tried some variations of the URL too.

How should I modify the URL?
Is there another way to import somehow this historical map from the above-mentioned website?

I think the quick answer here is that it's not possible to access the underlying tile service (tiles.mapire.eu) directly. You should contact the web site provider to see if they can/will provide you access.

[GIS] How to Add CARTO(db) Map Tiles to QGIS

I'm not certain how to get it into QGIS, but in a browser you need to use the CartoDB.js Core library, here's an example: http://blockbuilder.org/clhenrick/058552f400c6afaf0ec8aeac6ab106a0

Relevant JS code:

var baselayer = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', { attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors, &copy; <a href="https://carto.com/attributions">CARTO</a>' }); 

var map = L.map('map', {
  center: [40.7127, -74.0059],
  zoom: 13,
  layers: [baselayer]
});

function cartoTileLayer(callback) {
  cartodb.Tiles.getTiles({
    type: 'cartodb',
    user_name: 'chenrick',
    sublayers: [{
      sql: 'SELECT * FROM map_pluto_likely_rs_2016v1',
      cartocss: '#map_pluto_likely_rs_2016v1{polygon-fill: #FF6600;polygon-opacity: 0.7;line-color: #FFFFFF;line-width: 0.4;line-opacity: 0.5;}'
    }]
  },
  function (tiles, error) {
    if (!tiles || error) {
      if (!error) {
        error = 'Empty response.';
      }
      callback(error, tiles);
    } else {
      callback(null, tiles);
    }
  });
}

function callback(error, tiles) {
  if (error) {
    console.warn(error);
    return;
  }
  var tileURL = tiles.tiles[0];
  map.addLayer(L.tileLayer(tileURL));
}

cartoTileLayer(callback);

Hope this helps somewhat!
