ArcGIS Python API in Fabric?

SimonGIS — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:51 GMT

Is it possible to install the ArcGIS Python API into Fabric?

I am needing to work with getting a geometry from a WFS service, and I believe the ArcGIS Python API might support this. From there I would pass it into spatiotemporal join tool in ArcGIS Geoanalytics for Fabric.

I found this reference that might help: https://www.proserveit.com/blog/installing-the-arcgis-python-module-in-a-fabric-notebook

I have been successful in installing the API in a notebook using the instructions in the web page listed above:

%pip install ujson

%pip install six

%pip install requests

%pip install cryptography

%pip install cachetools

%pip install lxml

%pip install ntlm_auth

%pip install requests_oauthlib

%pip install requests_toolbelt

%pip install requests_ntlm

%pip install geomet

%pip install puremagic

%pip install dask[dataframe]

%pip install keyring

%pip install pylerc

%pip install pyshp

%pip install arcgis --no-deps

From there I can add another cell and import and look at the version, which suggests to me that it should work:

import arcgis

print(arcgis.__version__)

I don't know if this will get you far enough along, but hopefully it helps at least a bit... I'll admit my ArcGIS Python API knowledge is a bit slim. 🙂

Thanks Sarah, will try this and report back.

Take this with a huge grain of salt since I have not done much testing, but I believe you could get away with just the %conda magic command to install the arcgis library and dependencies in a Fabric notebook (PySpark Runtime 1.3):

%conda install -c esri arcgis

If this works, you can probably create a new environment in your Fabric workspace with arcgis included so you don't have to run this every time. I will post an update as I do additional testing.

Your suggestion of just using %conda install -c esri arcgis worked for me. Definitely seems like a cleaner pathway to get things up and running
