Trouble Overwriting Hosted Feature Layer Using JSON from API

Hello, I am trying to automatically overwrite a polyline hosted feature layer using JSON from an API. I think thatI have the correct format for adding the feature layers (shown below), and my issue is with actually publishing/appending the features -- specifically in line 39:

 

# Main function to fetch API, decode polylines, and publish to ArcGIS Online
def main():

    # Make request to API
    response = requests.get(api_url)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        # Assuming API response is JSON with 'features' containing polyline data
        features = response.json()
        

        # Extract features from the API data
        #features = api_data.get('features', [])

        #if not features:
        #    print("No features found in API response.")
        #    return

        try:
            # Truncate existing features in the feature layer
            feature_layer.manager.truncate()

            # Prepare new features to add
            geojson_features = []
            for feature in features:
                encoded_polyline = feature.get('EncodedPolyline')
                description = feature.get('Description')

                if encoded_polyline and description:
                    # Decode polyline from 'EncodedPolyline' field
                    decoded_polyline = decode_polyline(encoded_polyline)

                    # Convert to GeoJSON Feature format
                    geojson_feature = to_geojson_feature(decoded_polyline, description)
                    
                    geojson_features.append(geojson_feature)

            # Add new GeoJSON features to the feature layer
            print(json.dumps(geojson_features))
            result = feature_layer.edit_features(adds=json.dumps(geojson_features))

            print(f"Features updated successfully in ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer.")

        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to update feature layer: {str(e)}")

    else:
        print("Failed to fetch data from API.")

 

 

This is what is returned by the print(json.dumps(geojson_feature):

[{"type": "Feature", "geometry": {"type": "LineString", "coordinates": [[40.77248, -111.8377], [40.77254, -111.83776], [40.7728, -111.83804], [40.7728, -111.83804], [40.77282, -111.83803], [40.77285, -111.83802], [40.77248, -111.8377]]}, "properties": {"Description": "Blue Detour"}}, {"type": "Feature", "geometry": {"type": "LineString", "coordinates": [[40.76466, -111.84503],.............

***Note: I removed the majority of the coordinates, as well as the additional features for simplicity

 

This is the error that I'm getting, I believe from the result = feature_layer.edit_features(adds=json.dumps(geojson_features)):

pass in features as list of Features, dicts or PropertyMap
Parameters not valid for edit_features

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
