I'm not sure what forum to post this on, so I'm posting on multiple ones.

I would like to take a table (HTML) of x y coordintes, save them to a temp table that I can run through a geoprocessing service and store them in a temporary point layer and then map the points in an ArcGIS online map that I'm hosting.

Any thoughts on how I might do this. I know and I have tested usring url parameters to pass in x, y & WKID for a single map along with my web map, but that only zooms me to the location. It does not render a point. 

I'm not sure how I can do this or what tools I should use.  Rest API, Geoprocessing service, some combination.

Thanks

Michelle

If you have < 1000 points you can use method generate of portal api (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/02r3/02r300000083000000.htm) and serialize your csv in feature json so you can use with api esri js.
here you can see sample with shapefile ( http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/portal_addshapefile.html). You can use also gpx (use 'filetype': 'gpx')
