Is it possible to extract gis data (features, records, geometry, etc) from arcgis rest/ soap/ Mapservers? 

For example: ProxyServices/DDOTBaseMapProxy (MapServer)

can i extract the first layer

and make it a shapefile/ feature class, etc?

Thanks!

Morning Jake,

Did you have any luck with the URL I provided? Perhaps my cache too small or connection is not stable enough. Would it be possible to break the dataset into smaller parts (like 1-degree tiles)? I don't know enough about the rest service to set this up, most appreciated if you could get me some pointers.

Best regards,

Gijs

Gijs1973‌, unfortunately I did not.  I was only able to get 700,000 features downloaded.  I can't say for sure what is going on, but it could be that the service is at 10.0.  When I wrote this tool, it was at 10.1 when there was an architecture change to ArcGIS Server.

Thanks Jake,

At least we get the same number of features returned!

Do you have any (other) suggestions on how I could obtain the data from this service?

Hi Jake, your tool is cool. Thank's for sharing. I've been downloading some wms, but then i found a wms server which i'm having troubles and i hope you could help me to handle it.

I note that this url has a different structure from ArcGIS services. How can i handle this kind of wms features to download its feature data.

Thank you very much.

Is this the URL of the data you would like to download?

Hi Jake, I was trying to download the features in that URL with no success, I just downloaded the tabular data.

But most important is this URL

MapServer Message

Which I cannot access using arcgis online either. 

Thank's Jake

Yes, Jake, I get te same error too, but that's the right URL. You can access it using JOSM as is showed here.

The WMS i'm trying to download is used for this web map application.

Sistema de Consulta de Centros Poblados

Looks like the layer is a WMS layer, which I believe you mentioned before.  This tool will not be able to download data from a WMS layer, only ArcGIS REST services.
