Just Trying to Copy a Feature Service to a Local Geodatabase

Question

I will preface this post, in saying that I am new to script workflows in Python, and I believe that this process is probably very simple to accomplish but keep getting an error. All I am trying to do is export/copy a feature service it to a local geodatabase where I can work on it locally. I have provided the code below. I keep getting an "Object: Error in executing tool" for the last line where I am trying to copy the feature. from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features.use_proximity import create_buffers import arcpy ######################################################################################### GDB_Name = input("Name Geodatabase") Folder_Input = input("Provide Folder Path of Project") Item_ID = input("Provide item ID") ######################################################################################### gis = GIS("http://arcgis.com", "xyz", "xyz") search_results = gis.content.search('{}'.format(Item_ID)) Trail_Data = search_results[0] WorkspaceGDB = arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(Folder_Input, '{}.gdb'.format(GDB_Name)) print("GDB created") arcpy.env.workspace = r'{}'.format(WorkspaceGDB) arcpy.CopyFeatures(Trail_Data, "Area_Trail_Data")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks, Luke Webb‌ I think I may have found a workaround. I changed my code to include and export and download of the feature service. This way I can essentially make a copy of a feature service and then plug it in locally from a workspace folder. # import modules from arcgis.gis import GIS import zipfile from zipfile import ZipFile ####################################################################################### # Input working folder for shapefile to download too Folder_Input = input("Provide Folder Path of Project") # Provide item id of feature service Item_ID = input("Provide item ID") # Input name for shapefile export Shapefile_Input_Name = input("Name Shapefile for Export") ####################################################################################### # formatting inputs to fit syntax Folder_Path = r'{}'.format(Folder_Input) Shapefile_Name = Shapefile_Input_Name + "_Shapfile" ####################################################################################### # searching and returning feature service gis = GIS("http://arcgis.com", "xyz", "xyz") search_results = gis.content.search('{}'.format(Item_ID)) Trail_Data = search_results[0] ####################################################################################### # Exporting feature service to shapefile Trail_Data.export("{}".format(Shapefile_Name), 'Shapefile', parameters=None, wait=True) #search for new shapefile export item = gis.content.search(Shapefile_Name) #getting shapefile item shp = gis.content.get(item[0].itemid) # download shapefile item shp_Download = shp.download(save_path=Folder_Input) # unzip shapefile in working folder with ZipFile(shp_Download, 'r') as zipObj: zipObj.extractall(Folder_Input)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
