Rest Link Question

Question

Is there a quick easy way to tell if a rest link is coming from an SDE, other than making an edit and checking the layer in the SDE?

Hi @GaryMorris

Yes you can use the REST endpoint of a layer
Scroll to the Layer Source or Data Source section:

"dataSource": {
"type": "table",
"workspaceId": "MAP",
"dataSourceName": "SDE.<FeatureClassName>",
"gdbVersion": "SDE.DEFAULT"
}
