gis.content.add returns an unnecessary 400 error

StijnSchoutenTheGISLord

Describe the bug
Goal: upload a GeoJson file to ArcGIS Online via the function gis.content.add(). In the add function I'm using a Azure Blob file as source instead of a regular data upload

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

gis_engine.content.add(item_properties={
            "type": "GeoJson",
            "title": f"upload",
            "spatialReference": "EPSG:4326",
            "dataUrl": <blob_url>,
            "overwrite": True
        })

 

Any blob url will work for reproducing this. I'm using a geojson of around 11mb
error:

Expected behavior
A returned item that is uploaded successfully. Note that the item, in my case, is still uploaded to ArcGIS Online. After scanning through the REST API docs it seems that this function will return a promise first. Maybe the Python API is not handling this correctly
