Hi there,

Thank you for your assistance with this potentially basic question, I am new to Python.

I would like to automate the following workflow, so am seeking confirmation if it is possible:

I believe this should be possible, maybe using a combination of ArcPy and ArcGIS API for Python. Has anyone tried this?

Thank you,

This is indeed possible.

Pull a shapefile download from an ArcGIS hosted feature service, see here.
Clip the shapefile; use arcpy, see here.
Reupload to ArcGIS Online as a hosted feature service; you will need to get Python to zip up the Shapefile components. Add the zip to AGOL using content manager add method, and publish as Feature Service using the item publish method.
re-run 3-4 as required
