How to Query a Feature Layer with an Intersecting Point?

[MikeBrown4]

I have a point, created with arcgis.geometry.Point, that I wish to use in a feature layer query to only return the records that intersect that point.  I can do this via the REST API by setting the geometry parameters, but I am struggling to figure out how to do this with the Python API.  I have read the reference guide and examples, but still not sure how to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

To do same in Python, create the PointGeometry first

point = arcpy.Point(x, y)

pointGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(point)

Apply the same PointGeometry in SelectLayerByLocation_management

arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('query_feature_layer', 'CONTAINS', pointGeometry)

Thank you for the response.

I am trying to do this through the Python API, not with arcpy.  Apologies if I did not make this clear in my question.  I am wondering if there is a way to query the feature layer and include the point to only return back records that intersect.  Something like: 

query_result = feature_layer.query(where='1=1', some geometry parameter)

Using the REST API, I would construct a query like this to only get back the record that intersects the point: https://services6.arcgis.com/bxsVBCAOuftUsVxD/arcgis/rest/services/California_Cities/FeatureServer/0...

Sorry for confusion with arcpy instead Python API

As per Python API, we can use the parameter for geometry_filter

query(layer_defs_filter=None, geometry_filter=None, time_filter=None, return_geometry=True, return_ids_only=False, return_count_only=False, return_z=False, return_m=False, out_sr=None)

define geometry filter to use as parameter for feature_layer.query method 

arcgis.geometry.filters.contains(point)

Hi Mike,

Here's an example:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.geometry import filters
gis = GIS('https://www.arcgis.com', 'agol', 'gis123')

ptFeatureLayer = gis.content.get('11ed3710e5a54d988d9e4f9d4068ca6f')
polygonFeatureLayer = gis.content.get('48f9af87daa241c4b267c5931ad3b226')

ptFeatures = ptFeatureLayer.layers[0]
queryResult = ptFeatures.query(where='OBJECTID=10')
ptFeat = queryResult.features[0].geometry

polygonFeatures = polygonFeatureLayer.layers[0]
queryResult = polygonFeatures.query(where='1=1', return_ids_only=True, geometry_filter=filters.intersects(ptFeat))
print(queryResult)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thank you, this worked great.  I used intersect to get the results I needed.

point = arcgis.geometry.Point({"x" : x, "y" : y, "spatialReference" : {"wkid" : 4326}})
gf = arcgis.geometry.filters.intersects(point)
test = cities_layer.query(where='1=1',geometry_filter=gf)
