Import KMZ folder using script

Brucemartin — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 21:39:08 GMT

Good afternoon,

Apparently ESRI does not have the time for me and redirected me to ask this question on this board.

Does anyone know of a script for importing KMZ folders?

Thank you

Batch Import Data (AllSource)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

it will import kmz files within a folder, but if you have multiple folders to parse, it may have to be scripted

Good day, used this:

import arcpy
arcpy.intelligence.BatchImportData("O:\Active Projects\New Braunfels\01_Project KMZ Files\2013", "H:\GIS PROJECTS\PROPOSALS\Enviromental 2023 Tom\Enviromental 2023 Locations\Enviromental 2023 Locations.gdb", "kml", "SUBFOLDERS", "NO_GROUNDOVERLAY")

am getting this:

 Traceback (most recent call last)
File C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\ast.py, in parse:
Line 50:    return compile(source, filename, mode, flags,
