Hello,
I'd like to check if a folder exists in the portal before I create it. I don't see the feature_type = 'folder' option.
Thank you in advance,
Marcelo
You can user the folder property of a user. I've created an example, where I'm using my own user. I create a list with the titles of the folders, that I currently have in my content. If a folder with a given name is not found, it will be created
gis = GIS(portalURL, username, password)
me = gis.users.me
my_folders = (me.folders)
new_folder = 'my new folder'
folder_list = [i['title'] for i in my_folders]
if new_folder not in folder_list:
gis.content.create_folder(new_folder)
However, it is worth noting that create_folder does nothing, if the folder already exists.
