Overwriting several ArcGIS Online layers with python?

Question

How can I update my layers in ArcGIS Online using Python? From the platform I can upload one to one by overwrite tool. However, I'd like to know if there is some way by python to automate this task. At first, I've tried to update a shapefile in this way, but I want to update several shapefiles: from arcgis.gis import *gis = GIS("url", "username", "password")data = "C:\xc\Data\SDs\states_21basic.zip"shpfile = gis.content.add({}, data) and then to publish it: shpfile.publish()

#and then to publish it: shpfile.publish()shpPublisher = "url my service" shpPublisher = gis.content.search('states_21basic')[0] shpPublisher #Now I'd like to update my feature service data_path = "C:\xc\Data\Shps_Update\states_21basic.zip" item_properties = { "description":"Change description", "title":"states_21basic", #the same title "tags":"hello, byebye", "type":"shapefile", "typeKeywords":"shapefile", "data":"file/zip" } shpPublisher.update(item_properties, data=data_path) display(shpPublisher)Using this code, I managed to upgrade the different attributes containing my feature service, but not update the feature layer. In the data_path, I've written the path where the file is updated. However, when I run the code does not update the layer. from arcgis.gis import * gis = GIS("url", "username", "password") data = "C:\xc\Data\Shps\states_21basic.zip" shpfile = gis.content.add({}, data)
