Possible to find out where feature layers are being used in web applications?

Hi!
Made my own script that can search for "Web Maps", "Web Application", "Experience Builder", "Dashboard" or "All".
1. Open notepad, pase the code below, choose "All files" save as your desired filename and location. Remember to add .py at the end of the filename
2. Create a new toolbox in ArcGIS Pro and remember to add the parameters.
3. Link the toolbox to the code you saved in step 1.
import arcpy
from arcgis.gis import GIS
import time
# Connect to ArcGIS Pro portal session
gis = GIS("home")
# Parameters
find_id = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
search_type = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) # Web Map, Web Application, Dashboard, Experience Builder, All
start_time = time.time()
# Get feature service and its URL
content_item = gis.content.get(find_id)
if not content_item or not hasattr(content_item, "url") or not content_item.url:
arcpy.AddError("❌ Could not retrieve a valid URL from the provided ID.")
raise SystemExit
find_url = content_item.url
arcpy.AddMessage(f"🔍 Searching for usage of: {find_url}")
# 1. Pull all Web Maps and collect those referencing the feature service
all_webmaps = gis.content.search('', item_type='Web Map', max_items=1000)
map_ids = []
for wm in all_webmaps:
try:
if find_url in str(wm.get_data()):
map_ids.append(wm.id)
arcpy.AddMessage(f"✔️ Found referencing Web Map: {wm.title} ({wm.id})")
except:
continue
# 2. Load other content types conditionally
webmaps = all_webmaps if search_type in ('Web Map', 'All') else []
webapps = gis.content.search('', item_type='Application', max_items=1000) if search_type in ('Web Application', 'All') else []
dashboards = gis.content.search('', item_type='Dashboard', max_items=1000) if search_type in ('Dashboard', 'All') else []
webexp = gis.content.search('', item_type='Web Experience', max_items=1000) if search_type in ('Experience Builder', 'All') else []
# 3. Recursive matching function for nested itemId references
def references_map_id(item_data, map_ids):

for key, value in d.items():
if key == "itemId" and value in map_ids:
return True
