What has happened to it? In the documentation the Service section is still there, but nothing underneath that.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="CarstenAndersson_0-1736500722844.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/123097iE1EF9FC05E9067CA/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="CarstenAndersson_0-1736500722844.png" alt="CarstenAndersson_0-1736500722844.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 10 Jan 2025 09:19:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/why-is-service-class-gone-from-arcgis-gis-server/m-p/1574277#M11033 CarstenAndersson 2025-01-10T09:19:34Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/why-is-service-class-gone-from-arcgis-gis-server/m-p/1578839#M11088 <P>Prior to version 2.4 of the ArcGIS API for Python, you used to be able to see the Service class directly with something like&nbsp;</P><LI-CODE lang="python">from arcgis.gis import server server.Service</LI-CODE><P>Starting at 2.4, you can't do that anymore, but the object itself still exists and can be used.
