How can I access my ArcGIS online content using the Python API?

Question

Hello,

I been trying to access my ArcGIS online content using the API. So far I been able to access by Connecting through ArcGIS Pro but I would like to use my actual credentials to access the account.

I looked into the following method:

print("ArcGIS Online Org account")    gis = GIS("NyCompanyURL", "MyUserName", "MyPassword")print("Logged in as " + str(gis.properties.user.username))

when I use this method, the scripts seems to be running but nothing happens. I am assuming I am using the wrong approach for an ArcGIS enterprise account. Any help is appreciated.

Michael,

I am using my enterprise company home page (https://CompanyName.maps.arcgis.com). I am using ArcGIS Pro to log in. That approach looks similar to your #1 approach. I will try # 3 see if that gives any results. Thank you

Joshua,

that is what I was thinking. I'm starting to think it has to do with my credentials. My password does have special characters because it is work policy. I will try the next suggestion see if that goes through. Thanks a lot.

What are you using for your company URL? For that GIS definition to work I had to do one of the following:

* For whatever reason, I needed ArcGIS Pro to successfully log in before running the API. Pop it open and sign in. Then reattempt.
* Format the portal URL as 'org.maps.arcgis.com' , with nothing else in the URL (i.e. /home)
* Just leave that portal URL parameter blank, and it will default to the AGOL org that it is associated with
