@heatherdaw  this is the full script I'm using to create a backup fgdb of a hosted feature layer in my content. It overwrites the existing backup each time. Hope that helps.     from arcgis.gis import GIS from time import strftime gis = GIS("home") username = gis.properties.user.username home_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.sep, 'arcgis', 'home')) # Variables itemid = "000abc000abc000abc000abc000abc00" # AGO layer to backup itemtype = "File Geodatabase" # export format itemtags = "backup, fgdb" # item tags itemdesc = strftime("This backup was generated on %m/%d/%Y.") # item description folderlocation = "/" # export folder, / is root folder # Check to see if a backup file geodatabase already exists dataitem = gis.content.get(itemid) #fetch the item to be backed-up backupname = f"{dataitem.title} Backup" #acquire backup name using the source hosted feature layer searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(query=searchquery, item_type=itemtype, sort_field='uploaded', sort_order='desc') #search for existing backups print(f'Found {len(searchresult)} existing backups') # Update existing backup item, if it exists if len(searchresult) >= 1: print('Updating existing backup file...') dataitem = gis.content.get(itemid) #fetch the item to be backed-up backupname = f'{dataitem.title} Backup' #create a name for the backup using the existing item name dataitem.export(backupname, itemtype, parameters=None, wait=True, tags=itemtags, snippet = itemdesc, overwrite=True) #export the data to a file geodatabase within the user's content searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(query=searchquery, item_type=itemtype, sort_field='uploaded', sort_order='desc') #find the new temporary backup item that was just created backupitem = gis.content.get(searchresult[0].itemid) dwnldname = backupname.replace(" ","_") backupitem.download(save_path=home_dir, file_name=dwnldname + '.zip') searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(query=searchquery, item_type=itemtype, sort_field='uploaded', sort_order='asc') #search for the previous backup oldbackup = gis.content.get(searchresult[0].itemid) itemprops = {"snippet":f"{itemdesc}","description":f"{itemdesc}"} oldbackup.update(item_properties=itemprops, data = os.path.join(home_dir, dwnldname, '.zip')) backupitem.delete(dry_run=False) #Can change dry_run to True for testing, won't remove duplicate backups #Create a new backup if no previous backup exists else: print('Creating new backup...') dataitem = gis.content.get(itemid) #fetch the item to be backed-up backupname = f'{dataitem.title} Backup' #create a name for the backup using the existing item name dataitem.export(backupname, itemtype, parameters=None, wait=True, tags=itemtags, snippet = itemdesc) #export the data to a file geodatabase within the user's content ## Move the backup to designated folder, if not root searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(backupname, item_type=itemtype) #find the backup that was just created backupitem = gis.content.get(searchresult[0].itemid) #get the itemid of that new item if folderlocation != "/": print('Moving backup to designated folder...') backupitem.move(folder=folderlocation) #move the item to the correct user folder, if user chose somewhere other than the default root     ...

Hello @Anonymous User, I saw that the ArcGIS API for Python 2.0.0 documentation has an argument for service_name included with to_featurelayer. This isn't available in previous versions of the API however, and ArcGIS Online Notebooks 6.0 is still using ArcGIS API for Python 1.9.1. Any idea when Notebooks 7.0 for ArcGIS Online is expected, and if it will use version 2.0.0? ... View more

I'm running into a similar issue but with the service_name parameter. Haven't figured it out yet. Following the documentation here: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.features.toc.html?highlight=to_featurelayer#arcgis.features.GeoAccessor.to_featurelayer     sdf.spatial.to_featurelayer(title='My Feature Layer Title', tags=['my','tags'], service_name='My_Feature_Layer_Title')       TypeError: to_featurelayer() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service_name'   It works if I remove the service_name argument, but then the name of my service is a randomly generated string. Not sure how else to define it.   Maybe because I'm using a Spatially Enabled Dataframe instead of the deprecated Spatial Dataframe? ... View more

Agreed, categories are a great step in the right direction but could definitely use some of these additional features, especially Anthony's second point, as well as being able to read/edit members categories via the ArcGIS API for Python: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/add-new-member-categories-as-a-property-to-arcgis/idi-p/1156929 ...

Adding additional endpoints/layers to a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online would be very useful and help save time and cut down on clutter by combining data. Feature services often need to change as projects evolve. ... View more

Thank you both @fklotz and @JoëlHempenius3 , works great and saved me some work as well. I will add that I was getting an error when it hit certain web maps that contained uploaded shapefiles (Classic Map Viewer; and which have no url). To get around it I just wrapped Joëls whole bit into a try/except clause. I'm sure there's a more elegant way to handle that issue but this works and I can then investigate the map manually at that point if I suspect the layer I'm searching for is in there.   try: for lyr in lyrs: if 'url' in lyr and not found_it: found_it = lyr_to_find.lower() in lyr.url.lower() elif 'layerType' in lyr and lyr.layerType =="GroupLayer": for sublyr in lyr.layers: if 'url' in sublyr and not found_it: found_it = lyr_to_find.lower() in sublyr.url.lower() except Exception as error: print(f'{item.title} led to an error') print(error) display(item) continue   ...

@KaraUtterI have not, but would be very interested to know if anyone has as well ... View more

This was added today in the March 2022 update. ... View more

This would be nice for admins, maybe even give them a threshold limit that can be set. For example if the admin wanted to know any time a user uploads a hosted feature layer larger than 5GB. Could probably be done with the ArcGIS API for Python, but a built in solution would be great. ... View more

Hi Rahul, did you ever find a solution to this? Also struggling to get overviews into Azure blob storage. ... View more

A built-in highlight option would be neat for quick stuff -- but as a workaround in the meantime (or for advanced highlighting!), you can achieve this effect by putting two copies of the same layer/dataset into your web map, and then changing the symbology for one of them to be your 'highlight' look. Then, when you are setting up the map action, toggle off the visibility for your default copy and turn on the highlight copy. That should pull off the same effect, albeit with a little more work.   ... View more
