Can a python script in ArcMap be used to download the metadata.xml files for all items in my ArcGIS Online account into a local folder? If anyone has done anything like this I'd really appreciate some help. I can update the metadata.xml file using:
def update_metadata(user, item, token, metadata):
d = {"overwrite": "true",
"token" :token,
"f":"json"}
f = {'metadata': ('metadata.xml', open(metadata, 'rb'), 'text/xml', {'Expires': '0'})}
url = r'https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/{0}/items/{1}/update'.format(user, item)
r = requests.post(url, data = d, files = f)
response = json.loads(r.content)
if 'error' in response.keys():
raise Exception(response['message'], response['details'])
return response
thanks
