Is possible to publish a survey using a command line or python script to Portal for ArcGIS/AGOL ?

Cristian_Galindo — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 21:24:58 GMT

I have the folder for a survey created with Survey 123 Connect, I am able to publish it using Survey 123 Connect, but I was wondering if it is possible to publish it using a command line utility, a powershell script or a python script.

Any hints, ideas?

Hi Cristian,

We don't formally support command-line publishing of forms at this time; however, the process of publishing the form is discoverable via the AppStudio Survey123 Connect (Template). Aside from the creation of the form item, a relationship between the form and the submitting feature service also exists. You may also want to look at Updating the media folder of a Survey123 Form item, which is one of the most common use cases for automating the publishing process.

first, thanks for your answer.

Just to be clear, should I install the AppStudio, then download/open the "Survey123 connect template"in order to check the process?

Hi Cristian,

Yes, AppStudio Desktop should be available with the Developer Subscription. clesueur-esristaff‌ - Can you help identify where to get AppStudio?

looking at that code, it is bit tricky trying to implement it as a powershell script.

Hi Cristian,

The trickier parts relate to the creation of the feature service based on the form XML. If you already have a feature service, it is more a matter of zipping up the form files and posting into ArcGIS Online. Invoke-RestMethod looks to be the best method in powershell, as it automates the response handling.

Is there any update after two years on the ability to publish surveys on command line or batch?
