    <title>topic Geometry Buffer Empty POST in ArcGIS API for Python Questions</title>
    <link>https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/geometry-buffer-empty-post/m-p/1287231#M8670</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I am trying to create a buffer but I am getting an exception that simply states 'geometry'. the strange part is that when I watch the request in fiddler, the buffet POST request does not have any form data included with it except f=json. So the data returned is just the description for the service. Here is how i am performing the buffer in my code. Any ideas on why this is not functioning as expected?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="python"&gt;from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer, FeatureCollection, FeatureSet, use_proximity
from arcgis.geometry import Geometry
from arcgis.geometry.functions import buffer, simplify

            geom = Geometry(resultPath.features[x].geometry)
            print (geom.type)
            try:
                #path_buffer = use_proximity.create_buffers(resultPath.features[x], distances=[1], units = 'Miles')
                path_buffer = buffer(geometries=geom, distances=[1], unit="esriMiles", in_sr = "4326")
                print(path_buffer)
            except Exception as e1:
                print('Buffer Error Details:')
                print(e1)
&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
