Hello,
In ArcMap/ArcObjects, it was possible to perform Network Analyst operations programmatically using the
ESRI.ArcGIS.NetworkAnalyst namespace.
For example, we could:
Add stops (facilities) dynamically
Run a route solve
Repeat this process many times in a loop
Build custom analyses such as Huff models or network-based Voronoi diagrams
by directly interacting with the NAContext, INAClass, network dataset, and solver objects.
Now, in ArcGIS Pro, I am trying to migrate the same functionality, but:
I cannot find any equivalent Network Analyst API (classes or methods) in the ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET.
The Pro SDK documentation appears to expose only Geoprocessing (GP)-based tools, and not the internal NA objects.
Spatial Analyst also seems to be available only through GP tools (arcpy.sa), not via API objects.
My question:
Is there any supported way in ArcGIS Pro SDK (or ArcPy) to programmatically perform Network Analyst operations, such as:
Dynamically adding stops/facilities
Running route/service area solves repeatedly inside a loop
Accessing the network dataset, edges, nodes, or solver context
Implementing custom network-based analyses (e.g., Huff model, network Voronoi, weighted network Voronoi)
Or, is the only supported approach in ArcGIS Pro to use Geoprocessing tools (MakeServiceAreaLayer, Solve, OD Cost Matrix, etc.)?
Additional context:
I am migrating a large ArcObjects application that makes heavy use of:
Network Analyst
Spatial Analyst
Custom iterative network analysis
Facility → shortest path computations
Real-time update of barriers and attributes
so I want to understand the technical limitations of ArcGIS Pro SDK and the recommended architecture for replacing these workflows.
Thank you for any guidance from the Pro SDK / Network Analyst team.
