I've got a website where I'd like to insert maps with some placemarks (restaurants, points of interest, ...). I'm tired of Google Maps and like to use ESRI basemaps. Is it possible to do this?

I'd like to create these maps directly from my webpages (with JavaScript) and without embeding ArcGIS online maps (I suppose this would require to create the map in 'arcgis.com' before).

Is it possible with any ESRI JavaScript API? Thank you very much.

Possible with the ESRI JavaScript API

Note you will need to know the map id in this example it is '5b9675ca7ca9426a99ced88f66b42331'

var mapDeferred = esri.arcgis.utils.createMap("5b9675ca7ca9426a99ced88f66b42331", "map"

  var map;

  function init() {
    var mapDeferred = esri.arcgis.utils.createMap("5b9675ca7ca9426a99ced88f66b42331", "map", {
        mapOptions: {
          slider: true,
          nav:false,
          wrapAround180:true
        }
      });
      mapDeferred.then(function(response){
        map = response.map;

        dojo.connect(dijit.byId('map'), 'resize', map,map.resize);
      });
  }

  dojo.addOnLoad(init);
</script>
