storymap.save() python error - 'Item' object has no attribute 'save'

[JanDeBelder]

Hi all,

I'm following API tutorials to manipulate storymaps with python but am facing an issue with saving of storymaps.

The pythoncode below is throwing following python error on the last line:

AttributeError: 'Item' object has no attribute 'save' 

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong ?

Code:

from arcgis.gis import GIS

# create arcgis online connection

gis=GIS("https://www.abc.com/arcgis","username","password")

# Retrieve a story by its ID

storymap_id = "xxxxxx"

storymap = gis.content.get(storymap_id)

print(storymap.title)

storymap.save()

I believe what you're looking for is update().

arcgis.gis module | ArcGIS API for Python

You can print dir(storymap) to get methods/attributes or help(storymap) to get the docs.

Hi John, thanks.

Indeed, dir(storymap) does not include save(); although the api documentation does, here: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.apps.storymap.html#storymap )

the save statement is also part of some tutorials I found, including this one https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f7e3bc074a3949c8b3c07512103e3917

Did 'save' get deprecated, maybe?
