posted on behalf of user: Eric Thomas.  Hello, I'm unable to `addFeatures` to a Feature Service Layer using POST request. The "Add Features" website HTML shows up in my Postman response, not the anticipated: ``` { "addResults" : [ { "objectId" : 5, "uniqueId" : 5, "globalId" : "11239506-93E4-4B438-93A-47F4A338A", "success" : true } ] } ``` In PostMan: - METHOD: POST - URL: https://services1.arcgis.com/<fsl name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<name>/FeatureServer/0/addFeatures?token=<my token> - POST REQUEST BODY: ``` [ { "attributes": { "eventType": "thing", "eventTimezone": "Pacific", "startTimeUTC": "2019-05-03T23:44:00Z", "startTimeLocal": "2019-05-03T17:44:00", "startDate": "2019-05-03", "endTimeUTC": "2019-05-03T23:44:00Z", "endTimeLocal": "2019-05-03T17:44:00", "endDate": "2019-05-03" }, "geometry" : { "x" : "-122.412479789999991", "y" : "37.770630098000083" } } ] ``` - RESPONSE: The actual HTML for the Add Features website!! Can anyone see what I'm missing?  Thank you! Hi Eric‌, I did a little research and I got it working - please see my steps below. Let's suppose I want to add this feature: {   "attributes" : {     "DESCRIPTION" : "Test case",     "COLOR" : "Red"   },   "geometry" : {         "x" : 165000,         "y" : 473000   } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ You can add a feature using the ArcGIS REST Services Directory (see screen capture 1) or using Postman (see screen capture 2). In Postman the Query Params should be: features:{ ++"attributes"+:+{ ++++"DESCRIPTION"+:+"Test+case2", "COLOR"+:+"Green" ++},+ ++"geometry"+:+{ ++++++++"x"+:+166000, ++++++++"y"+:+474000 ++} } rollbackOnFailure:false f:html token:<a_valid_token>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This will result in a successfully added feature. Does this solve your issue? Egge-Jan Hello Egge-Jan Pollé‌. Thank you for the prompt reply.  I need to submit POST requests in JSON format. I don't see the notation you provided in the documentation. Feels like i'm just missing something in the URL.  Any other ideas?  Hi Eric, In the documentation you are pointing at (Add Features—ArcGIS REST API: Services Directory | ArcGIS for Developers) I did find the specification of the JSON to add a point feature. Then I used that JSON in the ArcGIS REST Services Directory to add my test case and with the Firefox Developer Tools (F12) I did obtain the parameters of the URL to replicate the process in Postman. Apparently, the JSON is stored in the features parameter with a lot of plus signs added to it... (It makes me think of this song, Positivity, by Prince: "Have you had your plus sign today?") So, it was just trial and error that did get me to the URL below. Is this useful to you? Has your question been answered? If so, do not hesitate to mark an answer as useful and or correct. (Just to help the community to find information that is either useful or correct or both....:-) BR, Egge-Jan https://services.arcgis.com/T9FoPe9aYhFYrvPP/ArcGIS/rest/services/<a_feature_service>/FeatureServer/0/addFeatures?features={ ++"attributes"+:+{ ++++"DESCRIPTION"+:+"Test+case2", "COLOR"+:+"Green" ++},+ ++"geometry"+:+{ ++++++++"x"+:+166000, ++++++++"y"+:+474000 ++} }&rollbackOnFailure=false&f=html&token=<a_valid_token> I appreciate that very much. Its just not a typical POST request. I don't want to programmatically add all those "+" 's to the body.  Its very non-typical (like Princes awesome music!!).  Do you or anyone else have insights on how to submit a JSON POST body that looks like the one in the documentation?  Thanks again! Yeah, it is a non-typical Esri solution and I would not know how many plus signs to add either... Maybe someone else can jump in to clarify? AhA! Figured it out (with your assistance of course)! In PostMan: - METHOD: POST - URL: https://services1.arcgis.com/<fsl name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<name>/FeatureServer/0/addFeatures? - POST PARAMS (DO NOT USE POST BODY): - features : { "attributes" : { "req_id" : "508389", "req_type" : "Graffiti Complaint - Public Property", "req_date" : "09\/19\/2009", "req_time" : "18:44", "address" : "11TH ST and HARRISON ST", "x_coord" : "6008925.0", "y_coord" : "2108713.8", "district" : "6", "status" : 1 }, "geometry" : { "x" : -122.41247978999991, "y" : 37.770630098000083 } } - rollbackOnFailure: false - f : json - token : <my token> I'm not used to putting nested JSON within a key:value parameter in Postman. I usually put it within a POST Body. The combination of your Parameter and this solved the issue. Thanks again!

posted on behalf of user: Eric Thomas.  Hello, Has anyone used the REST API to POST an attachment (photo.png) to a Feature Service using `addAttachment`? The documentation seems incomplete.  In Postman: - Method: POST - URL: https://services1.arcgis.com/<serviceName>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<name>/FeatureServer/0/addAttachment? - POST Params: `token` : `<myToken>, `f` : `json` - POST Body:     - Tried `form-data` with `key` : `attachment` and `value` : `file` and selected a .png file. DID NOT WORK     - Tried `binary` and selected a .png file. DID NOT WORK - Response:  {     "error": {         "code": 400,         "message": "Error: Feature (ID: addAttachment) not found",         "details": [             "Unable to retrieve feature."         ]     } } The documentation states that "...This operation is available only if the layer has advertised that it has attachments. A layer has attachments if its hasAttachments property is true." My feature service seems to have hasAttachments set to true... ...but the error is shown when I put this url into the browser:https://services1.arcgis.com/<serviceName>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<name>/FeatureServer/0/addAttachment? Can anyone see what I'm missing? Have any insights?  Thank you Good morning Eric, Some insights: You don't add an attachment to a feature service, but to a feature service feature resource instead, so you URL should contain an ID of a feature to add the attachment to. (From the documentation: Add an attachment using the addAttachment operation on a feature service feature resource. In this sample URL, the addAttachment operation is performed on feature ID 818654 belonging to layer 0 of the 311Incidents feature service: https://services.myserver.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/FeatureServer/0/818654/addAttachment ... but further explanation is missing) Did you see this thread: ArcGIS Rest API Add Attachment Issue  I don't know if you are into Python, but you might be interested in the work of Caleb Mackey‌, who is the author of restapi, a Python API for working with ArcGIS REST Services, which is actively maintained on https://github.com/Bolton-and-Menk-GIS/restapi Please let us know your solution, when you have found it. HTH, Egge-Jan Hi Egge-Jan Pollé‌, thanks for the reply... How do I get the feature ID of an Item that I JUST created so that I can use it to addAttachment? Example: - I use the POST method from our previous conversation to create a feature - The response I receive is: { "addResults": [ { "objectId": 23, "uniqueId": 23, "globalId": "7A8A55E9-D95D-4341-ADBE-52632EA46DAB", "success": true } ] } - Of these, ObjectId, UniqueId, GlobalId, which one is the "FeatureId" required for the addAttachments action?
