Adding Photos to pop-ups in bulk AGOL

[MeganWheatley]

Hi all,

How can I add photos to thousands of parcels quickly in AGOL? Is there a python script that could do this in bulk?

I have the photos displaying in pop-ups and I know how to add photos through AGOL one at a time but I dont need that to take forever. So is there any other ways that people are willing to share out there?

Thank you

Megan

Can use the python API.

According to the following article, Is it possible to Batch Add attachments to ArcGIS Online feature services? It is not possible, however, they do present alternatives that are worth checking.
Use the following links for Add Attachments and Update Attachments since the ones in the article no longer work.

Hope the above is of help.

@MiguelParedes , that is a confusing page.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that page say "you can't do it", then the last sentence says "you can do it with python" (as per the link I supplied above)?

Seems that should day "you can't do it with Desktop".......

Wondering if I'm missing something, or if that link is outdated (like the link on it).

What the article says is that you cannot do it directly in ArcGIS Online, but that you would use the tools available in ArcGIS Desktop. The article was last reviewed on the 25th of April, 2020, and it does not mention that the tools mentioned,  Add Attachment and  Update Attachments, are also available in ArcGIS Pro. One thing to note is one requires a Standard or an Advanced license for those tools.

For this I ended up using python. Was efficient and quick once I wrote up the script. Articles about this are confusing and not straight forward.
