automated upload to arcgis online

[BradleyChappell]

Is there a way to programmatically upload data to ArcGIS online?

We are looking to update data frequently and want an automated method for doing this via .NET framework.

Sure you can use the ArcGIS Rest API to automate this process. Here's some info:

You can also use FME and FME Server to load autonomously and repetitively.
