You may try print(type(sdItem)) to see if it's returning a certain type that isn't a list.</P><P>If it isn't returning anything in the list or is an empty list, check your content.search to be sure it's querying correctly.</P><P>Cody</P> Thu, 21 Nov 2024 17:48:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/query-for-service-definition/m-p/1561359#M73225 CodyPatterson 2024-11-21T17:48:09Z
