Using ArcGIS Python API to consume standalone ArcGIS REST API

I have access to a ArcGIS REST API service running on a standalone, unfederated Arcgis server. (Not AGOL or ArcGIS Enteprise) ie (https://xxxx.xxxxx.com/arcgis/rest/services/xxxxxx/xxxxMap/MapServer)

Is there any way to consume the REST API services like MapServers, ImageServers using ArcGIS's Python API?
Also, I am working in a secured environment with no internet access. Using MapImageLayer from ArcGIS's Python API forces a GIS object as a parameter by default. And that GIS object calls out to www.arcgis.com for anonymous authentication.

Use a ServicesDirectory object as your GIS:

>>> import re
>>> import arcgis
>>> arcgis.__version__
'1.8.5'
>>>
>>> from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer
>>> from arcgis.gis.server import ServicesDirectory
>>>
>>> svc_url = r"https://localhost.localdomain/arcgis/rest/services/someMapService/MapServer"
>>> sd = ServicesDirectory(re.search(r"(http.*/rest/services)", svc_url).group(1))
>>> fl = FeatureLayer(svc_url, gis=sd)
>>>

You say the environment is secured, but is the service secured as well?  That is, do you have to authenticate with GIS Server to access the service or can you access it anonymously when inside the environment?

Hi Joshua,

No. The service is not secured, i do not need to authenticate with a GIS Server to access the REST API. Yes I can access the REST API anonymously within the environment.

I was meaning to say is that the REST Service is hosted internally within my organization's intranet. And i do not have access to the internet from that environment.

If it helps, I am able to use the community made esri.leaflet package for R to display the mapserver on Rstudio. https://github.com/bhaskarvk/leaflet.esri

If the service is unsecured, i.e., no authentication necessary, the following should work:

>>> import arcgis
>>> arcgis.__version__
'1.8.5'
>>> 
>>> from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer
>>> 
>>> svc_url = r"https://localhost.localdomain/arcgis/rest/services/SomeMapService/MapServer"
>>> fl = FeatureLayer(svc_url)
>>> fl.properties

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I really appreciate it. I have been knocking my head over this issue for weeks.

I tried your code snippet and encountered the same error as when i was trying to use the MapImageLayer from arcgis.mapping. It seems like the code is trying to anonymously authenticate to ArcGIS online (www.arcgis.com) even when it doesn't need to. It is unable to resolve the hostname as we have a internal DNS that we use for our intranet.

Did your device have access to the internet when trying out this code snippet?

Here is the error:

Use a ServicesDirectory object as your GIS:

>>> import re
>>> import arcgis
>>> arcgis.__version__
'1.8.5'
>>>
>>> from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer
>>> from arcgis.gis.server import ServicesDirectory
>>>
>>> svc_url = r"https://localhost.localdomain/arcgis/rest/services/someMapService/MapServer"
>>> sd = ServicesDirectory(re.search(r"(http.*/rest/services)", svc_url).group(1))
>>> fl = FeatureLayer(svc_url, gis=sd)
>>>

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for all the help thus far.

I successfully created a MapImageLayer object without any error. My intent is to display this image as a map or widget.

However, I realized that  I must create a WebMap object first, before adding this layer. Creating a default WebMap() object also triggers a call to arcgis online, which results in an error. 

Do you know if there is any way to use this MapImageLayer to create a WebMap() object, or to create a WebMap() object from a MapServer REST URL.

Again, thanks for all your help

Here is my code: 

from arcgis.mapping import MapImageLayer
import re
from arcgis.gis.server import ServicesDirectory
from arcgis.mapping import WebMap
svc_url = r"https://xxx.xxx.xxx/arcgis/rest/services/MapServices/xxxxxx/MapServer"
sd = ServicesDirectory(re.search(r"(http.*/rest/services)",svc_url).group(1))
mil = MapImageLayer(svc_url,gis=sd)
wm = WebMap()
wm.add_layer(mil)

 

Here is the same error code:

This is how I connect to my unfederated Staging environment for testing. Granted this is an open endpoint that doesn't have any secured services on it.

For reference, gisA is AGOL, gisE is Enterprise, and gisT is the staging server.

from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.gis.server import Server
from dotenv import find_dotenv, load_dotenv

load_dotenv(find_dotenv())
pURL = os.getenv('PORTAL_SITE')
aURL = os.getenv('AGOL_SITE')
sURL = os.getenv('STAGE_SITE')
sUser = os.getenv('STAGE_USERNAME')
sPass = os.getenv('STAGE_PASSWORD')
aUser = os.getenv('AGOL_USERNAME')
aPass = os.getenv('AGOL_PASSWORD')
pUser = os.getenv('ESRI_USERNAME')
pPass = os.getenv('ESRI_PASSWORD')

#Connect to Enterprise GIS
gisE = GIS(url=pURL, username=pUser, password=pPass)

#Connect to AGOL
gisA = GIS(url=aURL, username=aUser, password=aPass, set_active=False)

#Connect to Staging. Does not work for right now. Found a solution: https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/error-connecting-to-arcgis-server-with-arcgis-python-api/m-p/869042?commentID=896496#comment-896496

# gisT = GIS(url=sURL, username=sUser, password=sPass, set_active=False, verify_cert=False)
# from arcgis.gis.server import Server
# sURL = 'https://ESRISTAGE:6443'
# gisT = Server(url=f'{sURL}/ed8fb7ce-e99d-4eb2-af78-b7ef11e3c2c4/admin',token_url=f'{sURL}/ed8fb7ce-e99d-4eb2-af78-b7ef11e3c2c4/tokens/generateToken', username=sUser, password=sPass, verify_cert=False, set_active=False)

#This method for connecting to staging server does work. Must use Server Module for now
gisT = Server(url=f'{sURL}/arcgis/admin', username=sUser, password=sPass, verify_cert=False)

# gisT = GIS(url=f'{sURL}/arcgis/admin', username=sUser, password=sPass, verify_cert=False)


print(gisA)
print(gisE)
print(gisT)

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, the server is not owned by me. And hence, it is unlikely that i would be able to get an admin account to access the Server. 

I only have access to the rest services that it exposes, ie. MapServer, ImageServer etc.

Using the Server object in your example, are you able to use arcgis.mapping.MapImageLayer by putting it as a parameter instead of the GIS object? Or is the Server object just used for administrative tasks on the ArcGIS Server

Is there any way to consume the REST Services without first authenticating as an admin on the Server?
