webmap_as_json for mapping.export_map method?

Question

Hello, We are developing a process to send an email with a map showing the location in case of emergency. arcgis.mapping.export_map method request a map to the printing service configured in your organization. So it's the perfect method for us. THe problem is where to get de json that represents the state of the MapView (zoom, layer´s visibility...) #cosa = "{\"mapOptions\":{......" #where to get webmap_as_json ?? out = arcgis.mapping.export_map(cosa,"PNG8","MAP_ONLY",gis=gis) out‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ There is no an explicit method to obtain the 'webmap_as_json' variable which is the format that demands Printing service behind. This is the specification of the json format: ExportWebMap specification—Documentation (10.5) | ArcGIS Enterprise is there any chance of getting it? I did it on javascript, but i cannot find anything similar for python. thanks for the help!

Hi Rubén Pérez Planillo‌, Map options and export options are not included in the web map json for export_map method in ArcGIS API for Python by default yet. As such, you need to insert those options into web map json first then run the export_map method. from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.mapping import export_map gis = GIS("portal or AGOL url", "username", "password") webmap_item = gis.content.get("webmap id") webmap_json = webmap_item.get_data() # Modify json with map options and export options webmap_json['mapOptions'] = { "extent" : { "xmin": webmap_item.extent[0][0], "ymin": webmap_item.extent[0][1], "xmax": webmap_item.extent[1][0], "ymax": webmap_item.extent[1][1], "spatialReference": { "latestWkid": 3857, "wkid": 102100 } }, "scale" : 24000, "spatialReference" : { "wkid" : 102100 } } webmap_json['exportOptions'] = { "dpi" : 96, "outputSize" : [746, 575] } out = export_map(web_map_as_json=webmap_json, format='PNG8', layout_template='MAP_ONLY', gis=gis)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ For a spatial reference variable, you can use "spatialReference" : webmap_item.spatialReference instead of hard-coding provided the web map is already spatially defined. I hope that helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please mark as helpful if you find it helpful.

Hello,

No luck on this. I far as I know there is no possibility of get this webmap_as_json directly from the API as You can do in javascript.
