How can I download a Feature Layer from my AGO account using the Python API

[deleted-user-4LjGx0CueIPn]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to download a feature layer from my AGO enterprise account as a shapefile or CSV. I have the following code:

item_id = select_item.id

agolItem = gis.content.get(item_id)

outputGDB = extract_data([agolItem], data_format='Shapefile')

this code gives me the following error:

{"messageCode": "AO_100026", "message": "ExtractData failed."} Failed to execute (ExtractData). Failed.

I read a few other post just like mine but I couldn't figure out why I keep getting an error. 

Thank you

The following code works for me, and my environment is Python API version 1.5.0

from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis import extract_data

gis=GIS(profile="agol_simoprofile")

# test_item is a feature service item
test_item=gis.content.get("<my item id>")

result=extract_data(test_item.layers,output_name="test_extract_data"
                    ,data_format="SHAPEFILE")
result‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

hi @simoxu 

exports_data() exports data in AGO not on local disk. Do you know any way that I can download the secured feature layer directly to the disk?

Simo,

I tried the code you provided me and it works perfectly. 

Thank you so much!
