https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/export-pro-metadata-xml-with-python/m-p/1272124#M67245 <P>Hi I'm trying to access an ArcGIS Pro item's metadata XML using python and was wondering if anyone could help. I'm using the exportMetadata function in the documentation ((<A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/metadata/metadata-class.htm" target="_blank">https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/metadata/metadata-class.htm</A>)) but when I open the XML that I stored, it looks like the code piece below. It's the metadata of when I ran my python script instead of the metadata of the item in Pro. Has anyone ran into a similar issue or know the solution?</P><LI-CODE lang="markup">&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;metadata xml:lang="en"&gt;&lt;Esri&gt;&lt;CreaDate&gt;20230327&lt;/CreaDate&gt;&lt;CreaTime&gt;11230800&lt;/CreaTime&gt;&lt;ArcGISFormat&gt;1.0&lt;/ArcGISFormat&gt;&lt;SyncOnce&gt;TRUE&lt;/SyncOnce&gt;&lt;/Esri&gt;&lt;/metadata&gt; </LI-CODE><P>Here's what my code looks like:</P><LI-CODE lang="python">item_metadata = md.Metadata(path) item_metadata.exportMetadata(outputXMLPath)</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;Thank you!</P> Mon, 27 Mar 2023 19:37:52 GMT Anonymous User 2023-03-27T19:37:52Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/export-pro-metadata-xml-with-python/m-p/1272124#M67245 <P>Hi I'm trying to access an ArcGIS Pro item's metadata XML using python and was wondering if anyone could help.
