Search for Views Created from a User Provided Feature Layer

JaimieNevins2 — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 20:02:15 GMT

Looking for a way to query all the Views created from a provided Feature Layer. In AGOL, this information is provided on the Overview page under the Details : Other Views (see below). How do I access this data using ArcGIS API for Python?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi @JaimieNevins2 ,

Here's a sample script which lists all the layer views of a hosted feature layer:

from arcgis import GIS from arcgis.features import FeatureLayerCollection gis = GIS("portal_url", "username", "password") source_item = gis.content.search("feature_layer")[0] flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(source_item) for view in flc.layers[0].manager.properties.adminLayerInfo.layerViews: print(view.serviceName)

Hope that helps.

Mehdi

Here's an additional solution, to complement @MehdiPira1's.

You can get a list of items that are views of a hosted feature layer by calling related_items with rel_type="Service2Service" and direction="forward":

import arcgis gis = arcgis.gis.GIS("home") hfl_item = gis.content.get("...") views_items = hfl_item.related_items(rel_type="Service2Service", direction="forward") for view_item in view_items: print(view_item.title)

Conversely, you can get the source hosted feature layer for a view item by calling related_items with rel_type="Service2Service" and direction="reverse":

# Returns a list containing only one item. source_hfl = item.related_items(rel_type="Service2Service", direction="reverse") source_hfl = source_hfl[0]

How can we get related items of a view ?
