JSON Varies Amongst Web Mapping Application Types

SethLewis1 — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 10:40:33 GMT

Per the ArcGIS REST API Item Types page, there is a Web Mapping Application type. See here: ArcGIS REST API

Using that item type, when I call

gis.content.search('', 'web mapping application')‍‍‍

on a portal I can receive back JSON for items built using different templates (e.g. WebApp Builder and Storymaps).

However, the JSON appears to vary between the item types (see bellow).

Is there a method in the API that would allow us to more easily parse the varying data structures when we call

gis.content.search('', 'web mapping application')‍‍‍

I'm attempting to harvest both a list of all web mapping applications in a given portal and slice through their JSON to retrieve the underlying webmap ID in order to visualize 1:M relationships.

Sample Storymap Data:

{
  "source": "sourceID",
  "folderId": null,
  "values": {
    "title": "Title",
    "subtitle": "Title",
    "order": [
      {
        "id": 28,
        "visible": false
      }
    ],
    "webmap": "authoring webmap ID",
    "layout": "integrated",
    "placardPosition": "",
    "locationButton": true,
    "colors": "#152638;#728294;#ebebeb",
    "headerLinkText": "",
    "headerLinkURL": "",
    "logoURL": "",
    "logoTarget": "URL",
    "social": {
      "facebook": false,
      "twitter": false,
      "bitly": false
    },
    "zoomLevel": "18",
    "sourceLayer": "maptour-layer1475173714814_0",
    "template": "Map Tour",
    "templateCreation": "2.5.2",
    "templateVersion": "2.8.0",
    "firstRecordAsIntro": true
  }
