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!
Solved! Go to Solution.
The feature class appears correct. I added the service to ArcMap by making an ArcGIS Server connection to the rest directory:
http://services2.arcgis.com/LvCBNZuwhTWWbvod/ArcGIS/rest/services
I turned off all layers but the first and overlapped the feature class. Here is a screen shot of the service:

Also, when running the tool, you will want to make sure you are specifying '/query' at the end of the URL. Ex:
Jake Skinner, could you run a Check Geometry on your resulting featureclass?
It seems there are only 2000 valid geometries, the rest has null geometry (checked with Check Geometry). I did the same using my code and that does seem to generate the valid geometries.
I would have attached the zipped gdb, but it is 116 MB and too large to attach to the thread. If you can provide me with an email address I can send it using wetransfer.com
okay, I'm running the tool and it seems to be working so far (I will have to check the geometry). I kept on trying different web addresses; then i saw the address you put in. Thanks for all of your help! I might have a few follow-up questions in case this didn't work, but it looks like this thing is just clippin along!!! Thank you so much; talk with you soon!
Looks like there was an error with the script. For some reason, it was only inserting the geometry for the first 1,000 features. I went ahead and updated the tool/script to work correctly. I also updated it so that you don't have to enter '/query' at the end of the URL.

The 1/15 .zip file doesn't open. Please repost -- I'd like to give this a try.
Try using 7zip to unzip the file.
