If you only need to check the existence of the endpoint URLs in the json, you could do something like this with a simple GET request. A HEAD request is also an option, but results can be unreliable.

import requests def url_exists(url): req = requests.get(url) if req.status_code == 200: print('Endpoint exists') return True ... for url in your_json['endpoints']: url_exists(url) ...

@Anonymous User ,

You can use the following script to get the existing portal services in a list. Then compare it with the url list from json.

from arcgis import GIS gis = GIS("portal url", username, password, verify_cert=False) # for feature layers fcs = gis.content.search("*", item_type="Feature Layer", max_items=100) portal_service_urls = [fc.url for fc in fcs] ..... json_urls = [...] # Compare the 2 lists set(portal_service_urls) & set(json_urls)

I hope that helps.
