If you're looking to append then give this a try... import arcgis # Set the URL of your ArcGIS Online organization portal_url = "https://www.arcgis.com/" # Set the credentials for your ArcGIS Online account username = "" password = "" # Set the ID of the feature service you want to update service_id = "" # Set the name of the feature class in your geodatabase that you want to update the service with fc_name = "" # Connect to your ArcGIS Online organization gis = arcgis.gis.GIS(portal_url, username, password) # Get the feature service feature_service = arcgis.features.FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(gis.content.get(service_id)) # Get the feature layer from the feature service feature_layer = feature_service.layers[0] # Get the feature class from the geodatabase feature_class = arcgis.features.FeatureSet.from_featureclass(fc_name) # Update the feature service with the feature set feature_layer.edit_features(updates=feature_class) # Disconnect from the ArcGIS Online organization gis = None

In my case I am getting a feature class with new records that have to be append to the hosted feature class.

Does this line append the hosted feature with records?

# Use the feature set to update the feature layer

layer.edit_features(updates=feature_set)

import arcgis
from arcgis.gis import GIS

# Connect to your ArcGIS Online organization
gis = GIS("https://www.arcgis.com", "username", "password")

# Get the feature layer you want to update
layer = gis.content.get("feature_layer_item_id").layers[0]

# Create a feature set object containing the features you want to update
feature_set = arcgis.features.FeatureSet.from_csv("path_to_csv_file")

# Use the feature set to update the feature layer
layer.edit_features(updates=feature_set)

print("Feature layer updated successfully!")
