I looked into this further, and when I go to switch my org's homepage from the legacy to the new one, my browser is sending the following POST request:
https://kendall.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/portals/self/update
With this item in the payload:
{"homePage":"modern"} Other org settings were in the payload as well, but this, I think, is the relevant one. I've never attempted to update AGOL settings directly from a POST request, but as long as you include a valid token, I can't see why it wouldn't work.
If you're comfortable with a bit of Python, this worked for me:
import requests
token_url = 'https://arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken'
token_obj = {
'f':'json',
'username':'your-username',
'password':'your-password',
'client':'requestip'
}
t = requests.post(tokenurl, tokenobj)
token = t.json()['token']
update_url = 'https://your-org.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/portals/self/update'
update_obj = {
'portalProperties': {'homePage':'modern'},
'token': token,
'f': 'json'
}
u = requests.post(update_url, update_obj)
print(x.text)
And you ought to get a response like this:
{"success":true,"orgId":"your-org-id"}Note that I used Python mostly because it's what I'm most familiar with. You could as easily do this by another method, even directly from your browser.
Next time you visit your homepage, it should be updated! Key word "should".
