Setting Visibility Scale using the ArcGIS API for Python

Question

How can the visibility scale be set using the ArcGIS API for Python

When I set the visibility scale for a list of Feature Layers in an AGOL map and update the Feature Layers, the visibility scale settings for each layer goes back to the default.

Is there a way to update the visibility scale settings using the ArcGIS API for Python? I don't want to have to go in and set the visibility scale settings manually after every update.

Thanks.

Hi, not sure if you are still looking for an answer, you can look here for a code example showing how to set the visibility range with the Python API

How do you do this in jupyter (python)?

how do i add a layer and change when it turns on based on zoom? Like if i zoom out I want a layer to deactivate(hide), and when i zoom in i want to be able to see it again. see the given layer below as an example. And how do i get the legend to appear, i found ".legend" but it doesn't work?

from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer
polygon_layer = FeatureLayer(url="https://gisservices.information.qld.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/Farming/DroughtDeclarations/MapServer")

WebMap = gis.map('Queensland')
WebMap.add_layer(polygon_layer)
WebMap.legend = True
WebMap

Hi,

I could do that and the data names and schemas are unchanged between updates. However, my understanding of AGOL is that datasets are not automatically updated from the source, in this case an SDE GeoDatabase.

Once the service definition is published, how are the datasets now on AGOL updated when the database is updated?

Thanks.
