Upload local Image file to ArcGIS Image for AGOL using API

MichaelWen

Is there a way to programmatically upload image files to ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online? There doesn't seem to be an Upload operation in ImageServer and I couldn't find anything applicable in ArcGIS REST API.

If there is no way to upload images to Image Services then are there other way to share image files programmatically with AGOL?

I am looking to create a similar workflow. Did you have any progress with this?

GilMastrapa

Yes, it seems to be a problem with our org and image collections. We are using NetCDF4, latest version. It works without issues on copy_raster function. Is there any checklist that we may review?

JeffreySwain

Ok so there is a problem with the org with image collections. Also it appears you are using netCDFs can you tell me which version of netCDF you are using?

Hey @GilMastrapa ,

You will need the image collection layer configuration in order to update it. So you will need to use that configuration. Sorry I wasn't precise before.

GilMastrapa

Thanks for the quick response.

We checked our code and we are using “copy_raster” default parameters, so after changing to ‘tiles_only’=False, we should be able to create dynamic imagery layers. Is this enough or only by using the “create_image_collection” function we will be able later to edit and update??

About your question regarding size, we are using as input a single-parameter netcdf file with several timeslots(~36Mb). We hope to do a similar procedure for several products on different intervals. Size in all of them should be similar, we do hope to rotate and only keep the current data hosted.

We did tried out the “create_image_collection” function, but errors arised, even when we were using the same input file as with "copy_raster". We tested both from an IDE and from an ArcGIS Notebook. Here is a snippet of our code:

from arcgis.raster.analytics import copy_raster
from arcgis.raster.analytics import create_image_collection
from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS( )

dataset = '/arcgis/home/accum_inmediata.nc'

def arcgis_save_raster(path_out, image_collection_name):

image_collection_item = create_image_collection(image_collection=image_collection_name,

input_rasters=path_out,

raster_type_name="NetCDF",

folder='Testing',

gis=gis)
arcgis_save_raster(dataset, 'test')

Sorry for the long post! Thanks for the help!

Hey @GilMastrapa ,

Do you know if you are using dynamic or tiled imagery layers? The update will only work on dynamic image collections. So if you are not using the image collections, the update is not supported. As a question about your workflow, how large are the files that you are changing out every few hours?

GilMastrapa

Hello @JeffreySwain , @MichaelWen, sorry for reviving this. We have been trying to implement our workflows on several rasters we use mainly for visualization on our arcgis online organization. We use "copy_raster" from raster.analytics module to create mosaics of images (as described here), no issues there. But we are not able then to edit or substitute our tiled imagery layers, only to create new ones with new serviceItemIDs (which breaks all our apps). We need at least to be able to "substitute" our raster mosaic with new data every few hours, while keeping the same ID linked to our maps and dashboards. Is there anything we are missing??? Thanks in advance.

JeffreySwain

Hey Michael,

You can add images through the Python API to ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online. You can create and analyze the imagery layer in ArcGIS Online through the API.

arcgis.raster.module

Take a look there and see if that is what you were looking for.
