Hi see the code below, this should have everything you need, or at least get you moving in the right direction. Cheers [HttpPost] [ActionName("PostInstall")] public HttpResponseMessage PostInstall(PostInstall installDetails) { var token = GetUserToken(installDetails.username, installDetails.password, installDetails.portalUrl); var errors = new List<string>(); //Get the details of the current user.

Hi Alex. You need to do a post request in order to get this to work. Below is an example of this in javascript (not really a python guy sorry), i've tested this and it worked ok for me. The only thing is that you will probably need a token to add an item. I have added the code for that further down for the sake of completeness. //You may need to append a token to the request in order to add it in, see the code further down var url = "http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/grantcarroll_isovist/addItem/"+'?token=' + token;    esriRequest(    {       url: url, //edit the below to add in any properties to the item that you are adding. The properties are those listed in the addItem help link in the original reply       content: {          f: "json",          URL: "http://www.mymappingapplication.com",          title: "My Mapping Application",           type: "Web Mapping Application",           tags: "web, mapping, application"      },     handleAs: "json",    },    {       usePost: true,       //set this if you are using a proxy       useProxy: false    } ).then(lang.hitch(this, function (response) {    //The response.id is the id of your item in AGOL    console.log("success", response.id) }), lang.hitch(this, function (error) {    console.log("Error", error); })); Generate a token var token = "" //need to ensure you use https to encrypt the request var url = "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken" esriRequest(    {       url: url,       content: {          f: "json",          username: "<username>",          password: "<password>",          client: "referer",          referer: "<the url you are calling from>"       },       handleAs: "json",    },    {       usePost: true,       //set this if you are using a proxy       useProxy: false    } ).then(lang.hitch(this, function (response) {    //The response.token is your token    token = response.token;     //You can use the token in subsequent request against secured items    console.log("success", response.token)   }), lang.hitch(this, function (error) {    console.log("Error", error); })); Hope all that helps.

Hi Alex No, you don't need to register them, you only need to push them in to the portal\or AGOL. You can also programmatically share new items with groups, as by default they will be private. The functions for that are here. The only time you would really need to register an item would be if it were an application and you were wanting to user AGOL\Portal for authentication, in which case you would to ensure that you had the correct urls for the OAuth redirects.
