How to find dependencies in Portal for ArcGIS using ArcGIS API for Python?

ErnestoCarreras2 — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 15:19:14 GMT

Hello, I am trying to figure out item dependencies in my ArcGIS online account to perform some cleanup afterwards. When I execute the script, it is not printing the dependency information the way it should be. I got the script from Esri’s technical Support website: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000021183

Any assistance/guidance will be appreciated.

The following is an example of what I am getting from the script:

Item: Ravenswood Parking Lot id d3x20842a3a349e19cd438x86c8a84fx is dependent on these items: {'total': 0, 'start': 1, 'num': 0, 'nextStart': -1, 'list': []}

Hello and thank for the quick response. For some reason, it has not worked for me... it keeps spinning as it is running something in the background but nothing gets returned.

Did you paste in the item ID when prompted, then hit enter and continue running the code?

Thank you so much for that clarification. I was trying a lot of variations to get the notebook to work, but that did the trick. This is a great tool to have in my kit!
