Metadata check

AlexGilvarry1 — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:44:48 GMT

On ArcGIS online there is an Item Information section that ranks the completeness of item metadata.

Is it possible to access this information using the Python API?

Please have a look at the script below. I use this to publish data (Feature Classes in a zipped File Geodatabase) and populate all the metadata at once. In this way I have a very high Item Information score immediately after publishing 🙂

The input should be:

The path to the zip file containing the input File Geodatabase

E.g. data = 'C:/Data/MY_NEW_FGDB.gdb.zip'

The path to a thumbnail file (a 600*400 pixels PNG file) for your service

E.g. service_thumbnail_path = 'C:/Data/Thumbnail_test.png'

All the metadata information can be configured in the script file below

What do you think?

HTH,

Egge-Jan

# E.g. 'Here you can put a short snippet describing the Feature Layer'
