What is the command to create a WFS?

Damian — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 05:23:19 GMT

Dear AGOL community, I'm new to this stuff so my apologies if this question is trivial....

I want to create Web Feature Services (WFS) for a whole bunch of Feature Layers, and make them publicly available. My preference is to use ArcGIS API for Python via Notebook. Can anyone tell me what the command is to create a WFS from a Feature Layer?

Regards, Damian

If you have hosted feature layers, Publish hosted WFS layers - ArcGIS Online should be the way to go.

I am not good with Python APIs, so I will let others help you on that. Good luck!

Hi @JayantaPoddar , they are indeed hosted feature layers. However I have over 100 layers, so I would rather write a script that will automatically iterate each layer to create the WFS outputs rather than create each WFS manually one at a time.

Hi @Damian,

Were you able to figure this out? I have a very similar problem and I've not been successful.

Thanks for any insight.
