Retrieve ArcGIS Pro license activity through REST API for python

Question

In Portal you can see the ArcGIS Pro license activity through this button:

My simple question is, can you obtain this ArcGIS Pro activity through the REST API for python?

With the following code you can get what licenses are assigned to what user and when they had their last login:

gis.admin.license.get('ArcGIS Pro')
print(agpro.all())

returns

[{'username': 'name 1', 'lastLogin': 1706174509800, 'disconnected': False, 'entitlements': ['arcgispro-extension1', 'arcgispro-extension2', 'arcgispro-extension3']},{other users with arcgis pro extension licenses},{'username': 'username1', 'lastLogin': 1706098700941, 'disconnected': False, 'entitlements': ['desktopAdvN']}]

What does the last login mean in this case? Last time they logged into Portal or the last time they used ArcGIS Pro?Furthermore, the issue with this is that it only returns the users that have additional ArcGIS Pro extension licenses or the single user that has an ArcGIS Pro Advanced license through Portal. All the named used licenses that are given through the user types "GIS Professional Basic/Standard/Advanced' are not returned. Does anybody know a way how to natively retrieve the ArcGIS Pro license activity of all named users using the REST API for Python? best,

Thanks for the response @Katie_Clark . I don't necessarily need the usage (although this is nice to know, too).  Ultimately I'm just trying to determine what licenses users have access to, via the API. The provisions property of a User returns add-on licenses in ArcGIS Online, but it doesn't show if a user has access to ArcGIS Pro through their account license (like a Creator account comes with ArcGIS Pro Basic). Running something like gis.admin.license.get('ArcGIS Pro') or gis.admin.license.all() both return empty lists, too (Enterprise 11.5).

Running your usage_reports example on an Enterprise Portal returns and error that PortalAdminManager doesn't have an attribute call usage_reports, so that seems like it might be for ArcGIS Online only

Edit (3/6/2026): For anyone else who may come across this, I posted a comment in this other thread about what I did to get what I needed in an Enterprise Portal

I was able to print a report that showed a users activity in ArcGIS Pro using this:

https://developers.arcgis.com/python/latest/api-reference/arcgis.gis.admin.html?#agolusagereports

from arcgis.gis import GIS
agol = GIS("home")

# Generate a report for applications
report = agol.admin.usage_reports.applications(time_frame = "90days")

# Filter for ArcGIS Pro usage
arcgispro_report = [entry for entry in report["data"] if entry["appId"] == "arcgisprodesktop"]

Then I was able to loop through this report a generate a CSV and print in the logs showing users and the number of days since their last activity using Pro.

Is that the type of thing you're looking to do?

Did anyone ever figure this out? Trying to do the same. Can get add-on type licenses from the User class / provisions property in the ArcGIS API for Python, but not licenses that come with an account, such as ArcGIS Pro Basic with a Creator account, etc..
