ArcGIS Enterprise Sites - Add the REST url for the feature in the "I want to use this" menu

EnvironmentAgency

In ArcGIS Enterprise, when using a Site Application to search for data, if a user wants to copy the REST endpoint for the dataset, from the Data Explorer window they have to click on: "I want to use this" > "Open in ArcGIS Enterprise" and then scroll to the bottom of the newly opened window from where they can copy the url.

Or from the Data Explorer window they have to click on "View Full Details" > "Open in ArcGIS Enterprise" and then scroll to the bottom of the newly opened window from where they can copy the url.

It would be a big time saver if both the "View Full Details" window and the "I want to use this" panel had the REST endpoint for the dataset available for the user to copy.

@EnvironmentAgency if you click on "View API Resources" the GeoService option shows the server URL with a button to copy and a link to View.

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks @AndrewTurner ,

We publish feature layers, map image layers, image services and vector tile layers.

Map image layers and vector tile layers don't have the "View api resources" dropdown available. This is expected, but on the item overview page on the portal a REST endpoint does exist in the url field. It would be very useful to be able to expose this to the users within the site application.

Feature Layers and image services do have the "view api resources" menu visible, but having looked at it more closely after your helpful post I've noticed that the url appears to be incorrect. You may well have helped me spot a bug. I'm using Enterprise v11.1.

Expected url would be:

https://<portal url>/server/rest/services/<folder name>/<service name>/FeatureServer

Instead, in the GeoService field I am seeing:

https://<portal url>/server/rest/services/<folder name>/<service name>/FeatureServer/0/query?outFields=*&where=1%3D1

The appended query string at the end of the url seems to be consistent across all feature and image services.

I'll get this raised as a bug with support, but exposing the url for map image and vector tile services would still be extremely beneficial.

Hi @EnvironmentAgency

If you click "View Data Source" does that take you to the REST endpoint you need?
