items = gis.content.search(query='') for a specific AGOL group

Good morning,

I am looking for a way to select all hosted feature classes that belong to a specific group

items = gis.content.search(query='')

You can do this at least two ways:

Like this:

group_id = "1234_your_group_id_5678" gis.content.search(query=f"group: {group_id}", item_type="Feature Service")

or like this:

group_id = "1234_your_group_id_5678" group = gis.groups.get(group_id) group.search(query="type:Feature Service")

Thank you @EarlMedina

This is what I wrote and it works:

# Retrieve Group ID
group = GIS.groups.get(group_id)
print (group)

# List all feature layers collections in the group
feature_layer_collections = []
for item in group.content():
## print (item)
## print (item.type)
## print (item.id)
# Filter for feature layer items
if item.type == "Feature Service":
#Get the Feature Layer Collection
flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(item)
feature_layer_collections.append(flc)
#print ("Append")
# Create a unique export title based on the item name and timestamp
# Create a datetime object
now = datetime.datetime.now()
formatted_date = now.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H:%M:%S")
## export_title = f"{item.title}_backup_{formatted_date}"
export_title = f"{formatted_date}_backup_{item.title}"

# Export the item to File Geodatabase format
print(f"Exporting {item.title}...")
export_item = item.export(title=export_title, export_format="File Geodatabase",parameters=None,wait=True)

# Download the exported file to the backup directory
export_path = os.path.join(backup_directory, f"{export_title}.zip")
export_item.download(backup_directory)

# Clean up the export item from ArcGIS Online
export_item.delete()
