Is there any working example or already documented anywhere to automate the process of creating a web map (with a Basemap) and adding a FeatureService item (already added to ArcGIS Online) to it, and then saving the web map to the My Content folder of ArcGIS Online?

This will need to be achieved by Python 2.7 with ArcPy through the ArcGIS REST API so that it can be incorporated to my existing Python script. By the way I am with ArcGIS 10.1.

Hi Alex,

It is possible to do this through the REST API with Python but will take extensive knowledge to create the web map.

The ArcGIS API for Python has built in functions to do this and would be much more straight forward. Would using the Python API be an option for you?
