Setting the refresh interval for a hosted feature layer

TraceStanford1 — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 20:49:57 GMT

I have a project that will be adding hosted feature layers to a map, and eventually removing them and archiving the data for the layer. I would like to be able to set the refresh interval for the layer with the Python API so that the web map has a near live view of the data. I can set it manually in AGOL, but it will be a pain to have to manually do this for each layer. Does anyone know if it's possible to set the refresh interval using the Python API?

You can do it like this.

from arcgis.gis import GIS
import getpass

password = getpass.getpass("Enter password: ")

gis = GIS('org', 'username', password)
print("Connected to: {}\nConnected as: {}".format(
                                                 gis.properties.urlKey + "." + gis.properties.customBaseUrl,
                                                 gis.users.me.username))


webmap_item = gis.content.get('ce80541f342546319d99308cbeb9f675')
webmap_item

from arcgis.mapping import WebMap
webmap = WebMap(webmap_item)
webmap

json_key = 'refreshInterval'
for layer in webmap.layers:
    print(layer.title)
    if json_key in layer:
        print('refreshInterval already exits with value {}'.format(layer[json_key]))
    else:
        print('Adding refreshInterval to the layer with value 2')
        layer[json_key] = 2    

webmap.update()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

webmap_item refers to item of type web map. I'm trying to set refresh interval on my published tile layer. Any idea how can I do that for an individual layer rather than a map
