Import geojson as hosted feature layer

[ryanh]

I am new to ArcGIS. I want to import a geojson file into arcgis as a hosted feature layer.

I am able to do that with GUI.

However, I do not know how to do that with arcgis python api. Thank you!!

gis = GIS(url=communal_url, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, verify_cert=False)

with open('my.geojson') as data:
    geoData = json.load(data)

empty_service_item = gis.content.create_service(name='test_feature', service_type='featureService')

new_layer= FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(empty_service_item) 
new_layer.manager.overwrite(geoData)

Actually, I think I found my answer.
