Input Parameter: Get hosted feature layer ID?

SH_DH — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 19:54:53 GMT

Hi there - I'd like to have a script input parameter that ultimately returns the ArcGIS Online item ID for a hosted feature layer for updating that item in a webmap. Using a 'feature layer' parameter returns the REST URL of that hosted layer.

Using REST would seemingly require the user to have to enter a name/password and generate a token just to get the ID of that hosted feature layer. Is there a way around this?

You can use the Featureclass input (selecting it from the Portal content in catalog), then in the code you can get the item Id:

import arcgis from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer # you can probably use the existing connection from pro if they are already signed in. gis = arcgis.GIS("https://<domain>.maps.arcgis.com", client_id="AppId") # this would be the feature service address that is from the input parameter fs_url = 'https://services9.arcgis.com/435tk5oo45nwo/arcgis/rest/services/trips/FeatureServer' # get the item using the url in_service = FeatureLayer(fs_url) props = in_service.properties # print item id arcpy.AddMessage(props.serviceItemId)

that's exactly what I was hoping for - thank you!
