Append a list of shapes to a feature class

I recieve every month a folder with many shapes.

I have to export one by to a file geodatabase.

I'm trying to create a script that append the list of shapes in a folder to a file geodatabase and I don't find a solution.

I'm new in python so looking for solutions trying this.

import arcpy

out=r'F:\CAR_Geral.gdb'
shapes=r'F:\INSCRITO_CAR'

for i in shapes:
arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(shapes,out)

For future reference, ArcPy questions usually get posted in Python‌. This place is for ArcGIS API for Python questions.

Adapting the Code sample from Feature Class To Geodatabase—Conversion toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop:

Code sample

FeatureClassToGeodatabase example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the FeatureClassToGeodatabase function in immediate mode.

import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = 'C:/data'
arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(['climate.shp', 'majorrds.shp'],
                                            'C:/output/output.gdb')

Try the following:

import arcpy

gdb = r'F:\CAR_Geral.gdb'
ws = r'F:\INSCRITO_CAR'

arcpy.env.workspace = ws
arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(
    arcpy.ListFeatureClasses('*.shp'),
    gdb
)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
