Can I access the shape file of a web map?

[ArielPaz_Sawicki]

Hi,

I recently finished a basic GIS course so forgive the ignorance. 

I found a good map with data I could use on the ArcGIS website, but it's only available as far as I know in web map form. Is it possible to get the data set or shape file that the web map is based on, to upload to ArcGIS?

Thanks,

Ariel

Ariel,

  If you open the web map in AGOL Map Viewer then you can see the layers and their description which will take you to the layers REST endpoint if it is coming from a ArcGIS Service layer.

Maybe you can, but but it depends on several aspects. Is it publicly available? If so, can you share the URL to validate. 

Another aspect apart from the technical possibility is the question if the owner of the map and underlying data allows you to use and copy the data.

I thought I shared it before... thanks

There is no download link anywhere on the site, so I doubt it, possibly for privacy reasons.

It is a StoryMap with multiple maps in it. You can navigate to the URL of the organization and browse the maps they have shared publicly: https://acusy.maps.arcgis.com/home/gallery.html#c=organization&o=modified&f=maps 

You can hover over the item and go to the details page:

In the details page you can add the content to Desktop:

Although there is no specific information about restrictions, this still does not mean that you are free to copy the data.

Thanks! I clicked open on ArcGIS desktop, and it downloaded a .pkinfo file. I have ArcGIS Pro (through my school). How do I open this file? 

[XanderBakker · Accepted solution]

Better yet, there is no need to download the pkinfo file. Just search for the map in ArcGIS Pro, using the All Portal option:

Search for the title of the map (for instance "Assessed Sub-district & Communities") and right click on the item in the search results that you want to add:

It will be loaded as map in ArcGIS Pro:

And the data will be copied to the project fgdb.

Amazing! Thank you so much!
