Scripts to Overwrite Hosted Feature Layer

Question

I have published csv file as hosted feature layer on ArcGIS Portal 10.5.1. The layer is shown normally on the map. Then I update the layer by the overwrite function in the layer. But I want to automate the overwrite process. How can I make scripts to do so?

Thanks for your reply. The script is for my client use. He does not have any ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro, so the script can only rely on ArcGIS APIs. Is it possible to do so?

You can do it stand alone with Python Api for ArcGIS Pro. It works fine for me!
