storymap.save() python error - 'Item' object has no attribute 'save'

Hi all,

I'm following API tutorials to manipulate storymaps with python but am facing an issue with saving of storymaps.

The pythoncode below is throwing following python error on the last line:

AttributeError: 'Item' object has no attribute 'save'

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong ?

Code:

from arcgis.gis import GIS

# create arcgis online connection

gis=GIS("https://www.abc.com/arcgis","username","password")

# Retrieve a story by its ID

storymap_id = "xxxxxx"

storymap = gis.content.get(storymap_id)

print(storymap.title)

storymap.save()

I believe what you're looking for is update().

You can print dir(storymap) to get methods/attributes or help(storymap) to get the docs.

Hi John, thanks.

Indeed, dir(storymap) does not include save(); although the api documentation does, here: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.apps.storymap.html#storymap )

the save statement is also part of some tutorials I found, including this one https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f7e3bc074a3949c8b3c07512103e3917

Did 'save' get deprecated, maybe?
