Possible to tell if a feature service is "hosted" in environment or not?

[Jay_Gregory]

I can easily get a list of all feature services in my AGOL environment

fs = gis.content.search(query="type:service", max_items=10000)

From these results, I am curious if there is any easy way to understand if a feature service is "hosted" or not.  In other words, how can I tell if a feature service was created by a user uploading or creating data (csv, shapefile, etc.) or if a user added a feature service from an existing arcgis url (new item-->from url-->paste in REST endpoint-->etc).  

I know I can find this information out by looking at the items in our AGOL instance, but want to be able to do this programmatically.  

Any tips?

Hi @Jay_Gregory 

Each item has a typeKeywords property which is a list. If it is a Hosted Service there is a 'Hosted Service' string in this list as shown below.

print(fs.typeKeywords

['ArcGIS Server', 'Data', 'Feature Access', 'Feature Service', 'Metadata', 'providerSDS', 'Service', 'Hosted Service']

The below will filter out items that has the 'Hosted Service' keyword.

from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS("home")

fs_list = gis.content.search(query="type:service", max_items=10000)

hosted = [fs for fs in fs_list if 'Hosted Service' in fs.typeKeywords]

print(hosted)

If you print out the keywords for various item types you might be able use the same method, or use in tandem with other filters, to get the information you need.

Thank you! I knew it was somewhere in there! dir(item) just returns too many properties 🙂
