A Problem Importing CSVs from Web

ChrisRiley — Sat, 18 Jan 2020 13:02:45 GMT

Sometime yesterday afternoon, ArcGIS Online's "Add Layer from Web" feature stopped working. Pasting the URL of a public CSV file now triggers an error message:

The CSV, [URL], is not accessible and cannot be added to the map.

Contrary to what the message claims, my CSV (a table hosted by Google Sheets) is accessible. The problem seems to be on ArcGIS's side.

Any idea what might be happening—and when this might be fixed?

It would be nice to get a simple response from ESRI on this. It's kind of a big deal. If you want us to take your platform seriously and build robust applications that consume services on a variety of platforms, it needs to work.

And while I'm at it...how about a help desk that's available 24/7. It's a 24/7 global economy and ESRI is acting like it's 1994.

ESRI did notice the problem . . . half a week after I posted this. But that's better than nothing, right?
