Hi all, DISCLAIMER: I am not a web developer! I would like to build a widget (or two) that can authenticate to an API and then use the session ID from the response to be used for subsequent GET and POST calls. As I understand it I cannot set cookies from the client. I read up on the standard sessionStorage but not sure how that would work within widgets. I have built a python script to do this using sessions that does this easily and I am looking for an approach that will either make this possible in a single widget or (even better) I could have a authenticate widget and then use it another widget - perhaps using the DataManager (but that is for another time). the objective is to authenticate to an Asset Management API and then download either, asset informatin, work orders and display them as point data within a feature collection in the map. If anyone has experience or examples that could help, please share. Thanks in advance, Gareth ... View more

Hi Survey123 for ArcGIS, Having agencies storing corporate information in many different systems can be hard to bring together to make useful workflows. I know there is Power Automate to send data after collection and there is the formula work that can be done, but I think it would be very powerful if you could consume external API providers to actually create surveys. Essentially Survey123 could merge the 3rd party API data with spatial storage in one! We have used #Postman to create collections of API calls and it would be awesome if I could build a survey based on the Postman collection. I have seen this popping up in other systems recently e.g. Microsoft Power BI Create a custom connector from a Postman collection | Microsoft Docs  I feel like you could create different field types e.g. apiString that would get defined in the schema when the survey is generated so those fields are never created to the GIS schema (similar to the nulltype). In the settings you could define the getdata call that would be required to download existing data for work and you would also define the post data command that will add data to via the 3rd party API and obviously the GIS feature service that it is connected to. You would also define the integration field such as ASSETID or WORKORDERNUMBER. If you would like to discuss further I have a demo site I can share with you. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

We have several customers that simply need to host read only data for their services but they feel the price point is too high for ArcGIS Server. We suggested ArcGIS Online, but they must serve traditional map services for several reasons, one of them the SOAP capacity. It would be great if you could deploy ArcGIS Server for only read-only map services. The absolute bare minimum. Take away all of the cool functionality and just have a simple map service publisher. Limit it to only FGDB as well so it only supported non editing environments.  ... View more
