Module contents¶

class arcgis.GIS(url=None, username=None, password=None, key_file=None, cert_file=None, verify_cert=True, set_active=True, client_id=None, profile=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: object

A GIS is representative of a single ArcGIS Online organization or an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. The GIS object provides helper objects to manage (search, create, retrieve) GIS resources such as content, users, and groups.

Additionally, the GIS object has properties to query its state, which is accessible using the properties attribute.

The GIS provides a mapping widget that can be used in the Jupyter Notebook environment for visualizing GIS content as well as the results of your analysis. To create a new map, call the map() method.

The constructor constructs a GIS object given a url and user credentials to ArcGIS Online or an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal. User credentials can be passed in using username/password pair, or key_file/cert_file pair (in case of PKI). Supports built-in users, LDAP, PKI, Integrated Windows Authentication (using NTLM and Kerberos) and Anonymous access.

If no url is provided, ArcGIS Online is used. If username/password or key/cert files are not provided, the currently logged-in user’s credentials (IWA) or anonymous access is used.

Persisted profiles for the GIS can be created by giving the GIS authorization credentials and specifying a profile name. The profile stores all of the authorization credentials (except the password) in the user’s home directory in an unencrypted config file named .arcgisprofile. The profile securely stores the password in an O.S. specific password manager through the keyring python module. (Note: Linux systems may need additional software installed and configured for proper security) Once a profile has been saved, passing the profile parameter by itself uses the authorization credentials saved in the configuration file/password manager by that profile name. Multiple profiles can be created and used in parallel.

See https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/working-with-different-authentication-schemes/ for examples.

Argument	Description
url	Optional string. If URL is None, then the URL will be ArcGIS Online. This should be a web address to either a local Portal or to ArcGIS Online in the form: <scheme>://<fully_qualified_domain_name>/<web_adaptor> (Portal Example) https://gis.example.com/portal

The geocode function geocodes one location per request.

Argument	Description
address	required list of strings or dictionaries. Specifies the location to be geocoded. This can be a string containing the street address, place name, postal code, or POI. Alternatively, this can be a dictionary containing the various address fields accepted by the corresponding geocoder. These fields are listed in the addressFields property of the associated geocoder. For example, if the address_fields of a geocoder includes fields with the following names: Street, City, State and Zone, then the address argument is of the form: { Street: “1234 W Main St”, City: “Small Town”, State: “WA”, Zone: “99027” }
search_extent	optional string, A set of bounding box coordinates that limit the search area to a specific region. This is especially useful for applications in which a user will search for places and addresses only within the current map extent.
location	optionl [x,y], Defines an origin point location that is used with the distance parameter to sort geocoding candidates based upon their proximity to the location.
distance	optional float, Specifies the radius of an area around a point location which is used to boost the rank of geocoding candidates so that candidates closest to the location are returned first. The distance value is in meters.
out_sr	optional dictionary, The spatial reference of the x/y coordinates returned by a geocode request. This is useful for applications using a map with a spatial reference different than that of the geocode service.
category	optional string, A place or address type which can be used to filter find results. The parameter supports input of single category values or multiple comma-separated values. The category parameter can be passed in a request with or without the text parameter.
out_fields	optional string, name of all the fields to inlcude. The default is “*” which means all fields.
max_location	optional integer, The number of locations to be returned from the service. The default is 20.
magic_key	The find operation retrieves results quicker when you pass a valid text and magickey value.
for_storage	Specifies whether the results of the operation will be persisted. The default value is false, which indicates the results of the operation can’t be stored, but they can be temporarily displayed on a map for instance. If you store the results, in a database for example, you need to set this parameter to true.
geocoder	Optional, the geocoder to be used. If not specified, the active GIS’s first geocoder is used.
as_featureset	optional boolean, if True, the result set is returned as a FeatureSet object, else it is a dictionary.

Returns: dictionary

arcgis.aggregate_points(point_layer, polygon_layer, keep_boundaries_with_no_points=True, summary_fields=[], group_by_field=None, minority_majority=False, percent_points=False, output_name=None, context=None, gis=None, estimate=False)¶

The Aggregate Points task works with a layer of point features and a layer of polygon features. It first figures out which points fall within each polygon’s area. After determining this point-in-polygon spatial relationship, statistics about all points in the polygon are calculated and assigned to the area. The most basic statistic is the count of the number of points within the polygon, but you can get other statistics as well. For example, if your points represented coffee shops and each point has a TOTAL_SALES attribute, you can get statistics like the sum of all TOTAL_SALES within the polygon, or the minimum or maximum TOTAL_SALES value, or the standard deviation of all sales within the polygon.

Parameter	Description
point_layer	Required point layer. The point features that will be aggregated into the polygons in the polygon_layer. See Feature Input.
polygon_layer	Required polygon layer. The polygon features (areas) into which the input points will be aggregated. See Feature Input.
keep_boundaries_with_no_points	Optional boolean. A Boolean value that specifies whether the polygons that have no points within them should be returned in the output. The default is true.
summary_fields	Optional list of strings. A list of field names and statistical summary type that you wish to calculate for all points within each polygon. Note that the count of points within each polygon is always returned. summary type is one of the following: Sum—Adds the total value of all the points in each polygon Mean—Calculates the average of all the points in each polygon. Min—Finds the smallest value of all the points in each polygon. Max—Finds the largest value of all the points in each polygon. Stddev—Finds the standard deviation of all the points in each polygon. Example [fieldName1 summaryType1,fieldName2 summaryType2].
group_by_field	Optional string. A field name in the point_layer. Points that have the same value for the group by field will have their own counts and summary field statistics. You can create statistical groups using an attribute in the analysis layer. For example, if you are aggregating crimes to neighborhood boundaries, you may have an attribute Crime_type with five different crime types. Each unique crime type forms a group, and the statistics you choose will be calculated for each unique value of Crime_type. When you choose a grouping attribute, two results are created: the result layer and a related table containing the statistics.
minority_majority	Optional boolean. This boolean parameter is applicable only when a group_by_field is specified. If true, the minority (least dominant) or the majority (most dominant) attribute values for each group field within each boundary are calculated. Two new fields are added to the aggregated_layer prefixed with Majority_ and Minority_. The default is false.
percent_points	Optional boolean. This boolean parameter is applicable only when a group_by_field is specified. If set to true, the percentage count of points for each unique group_by_field value is calculated. A new field is added to the group summary output table containing the percentages of each attribute value within each group. If minority_majority is true, two additional fields are added to the aggregated_layer containing the percentages of the minority and majority attribute values within each group.
output_name	Optional string. Output Features Name (str). Optional parameter.
context	Optional string. Context contains additional settings that affect task execution. For Aggregate Points, there are two settings. Extent (extent)-a bounding box that defines the analysis area. Only those points in the input pointLayer that intersect the bounding box will be analyzed. Output Spatial Reference (outSR)—the output features will be projected into the output spatial reference.
gis	Optional, the GIS on which this tool runs. If not specified, the active GIS is used.
estimate	Optional Boolean. If True, the number of credits to run the operation will be returned.

Returns: result_layer : feature layer Item if output_name is specified, else Feature Collection.

USAGE EXAMPLE: To find number of permits issued in each zip code of US.

agg_result = aggregate_points(point_layer=permits,
                        polygon_layer=zip_codes,
                        keep_boundaries_with_no_points=False,
                        summary_fields=["DeclValNu mean","DeclValNu2 mean"],
                        group_by_field='Declared_V',
                        minority_majority=True,
                        percent_points=True,
                        output_name="aggregated_permits",
                        context='{"extent":{"xmin":-8609738.077325115,"ymin":4743483.445485223,"xmax":-8594030.268012533,"ymax":4752206.821338257,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100,"latestWkid":3857}}}') 

arcgis.calculate_density(input_layer, field=None, cell_size=None, cell_size_units='Meters', radius=None, radius_units=None, bounding_polygon_layer=None, area_units=None, classification_type='EqualInterval', num_classes=10, output_name=None, context=None, gis=None, estimate=False)¶

The calculate_density function creates a density map from point or line features by spreading known quantities of some phenomenon (represented as attributes of the points or lines) across the map. The result is a layer of areas classified from least dense to most dense.

For point input, each point should represent the location of some event or incident, and the result layer represents a count of the incident per unit area. A higher density value in a new location means that there are more points near that location. In many cases, the result layer can be interpreted as a risk surface for future events. For example, if the input points represent locations of lightning strikes, the result layer can be interpreted as a risk surface for future lightning strikes.

For line input, the line density surface represents the total amount of line that is near each location. The units of the calculated density values are the length of line per unit area. For example, if the lines represent rivers, the result layer will represent the total length of rivers that are within the search radius. This result can be used to identify areas that are hospitable to grazing animals.

Argument	Description
input_layer	Required layer. The point or line features from which to calculate density. See Feature Input.
field	Optional string. A numeric field name specifying the number of incidents at each location. For example, if you have points that represent cities, you can use a field representing the population of the city as the count field, and the resulting population density layer will calculate larger population densities near cities with larger populations. If not specified, each location will be assumed to represent a single count.
cell_size	Optional float. This value is used to create a mesh of points where density values are calculated. The default is approximately 1/1000th of the smaller of the width and height of the analysis extent as defined in the context parameter. The smaller the value, the smoother the polygon boundaries will be. Conversely, with larger values, the polygon boundaries will be more coarse and jagged.
cell_size_units	Optional string. The units of the cell_size value. Choice list: [‘Miles’, ‘Feet’, ‘Kilometers’, ‘Meters’]
radius	Optional float. A distance specifying how far to search to find point or line features when calculating density values.
radius_units	Optional string. The units of the radius parameter. If no distance is provided, a default will be calculated that is based on the locations of the input features and the values in the count field (if a count field is provided). Choice list: [‘Miles’, ‘Feet’, ‘Kilometers’, ‘Meters’]
bounding_polygon_layer	Optional layer. A layer specifying the polygon(s) where you want densities to be calculated. For example, if you are interpolating densities of fish within a lake, you can use the boundary of the lake in this parameter and the output will only draw within the boundary of the lake. See Feature Input.
area_units	Optional string. The units of the calculated density values. Choice list: [‘areaUnits’, ‘SquareMiles’]
classification_type	Optional string. Determines how density values will be classified into polygons. Choice list: [‘EqualInterval’, ‘GeometricInterval’, ‘NaturalBreaks’, ‘EqualArea’, ‘StandardDeviation’] EqualInterval—Polygons are created such that the range of density values is equal for each area. GeometricInterval—Polygons are based on class intervals that have a geometric series. This method ensures that each class range has approximately the same number of values within each class and that the change between intervals is consistent. NaturalBreaks—Class intervals for polygons are based on natural groupings of the data. Class break values are identified that best group similar values and that maximize the differences between classes. EqualArea—Polygons are created such that the size of each area is equal. For example, if the result has more high density values than low density values, more polygons will be created for high densities. StandardDeviation—Polygons are created based upon the standard deviation of the predicted density values.
num_classes	Optional int. This value is used to divide the range of predicted values into distinct classes. The range of values in each class is determined by the classification_type parameter.
output_name	Optional string. Additional properties such as output feature service name.
context	Optional string. Additional settings such as processing extent and output spatial reference. For calculate_density, there are two settings. Extent (extent)-a bounding box that defines the analysis area. Only those points in the input_layer that intersect the bounding box will be analyzed. Output Spatial Reference (outSR)—the output features will be projected into the output spatial reference.
gis	Optional, the GIS on which this tool runs. If not specified, the active GIS is used.
estimate	Optional Boolean. Is true, the number of credits needed to run the operation will be returned as a float.

Returns: result_layer : feature layer Item if output_name is specified, else Feature Collection.

USAGE EXAMPLE: To create a layer that shows density of collisions within 2 miles.       
               The density is classified based upon the standard deviation.
               The range of density values is divided into 5 classes.   
        
collision_density = calculate_density(input_layer=collisions,   
                                radius=2,       
                                radius_units='Miles',   
                                bounding_polygon_layer=zoning_lyr,      
                                area_units='SquareMiles',       
                                classification_type='StandardDeviation',        
                                num_classes=5,  
                                output_name='density_of_incidents')

arcgis.connect_origins_to_destinations(origins_layer, destinations_layer, measurement_type='DrivingTime', origins_layer_route_id_field=None, destinations_layer_route_id_field=None, time_of_day=None, time_zone_for_time_of_day='GeoLocal', output_name=None, context=None, gis=None, estimate=False, point_barrier_layer=None, line_barrier_layer=None, polygon_barrier_layer=None)¶

The Connect Origins to Destinations task measures the travel time or distance between pairs of points. Using this tool, you can

Calculate the total distance or time commuters travel on their home-to-work trips.
Measure how far customers are traveling to shop at your stores. Use this information to define your market reach, especially when targeting advertising campaigns or choosing new store locations.
Calculate the expected trip mileage for your fleet of vehicles. Afterward, run the Summarize Within tool to report mileage by state or other region.

You provide starting and ending points, and the tool returns a layer containing route lines, including measurements, between the paired origins and destinations.

Argument	Description
origins_layer	Required layer. The starting point or points of the routes to be generated. See Feature Input.
destinations_layer	Required layer. The routes end at points in the destinations layer. See Feature Input.
measurement_type	Required string. The origins and destinations can be connected by measuring straight-line distance, or by measuring travel time or travel distance along a street network using various modes of transportation known as travel modes. Valid values are a string, StraightLine, which indicates Euclidean distance to be used as distance measure or a Python dictionary representing settings for a travel mode. When using a travel mode for the measurement_type, you need to specify a dictionary containing the settings for a travel mode supported by your organization. The code in the example section below generates a valid Python dictionary and then passes it as the value for the measurement_type parameter. Supported travel modes: [‘Driving Distance’, ‘Driving Time’, ‘Rural Driving Distance’, ‘Rural Driving Time’, ‘Trucking Distance’, ‘Trucking Time’, ‘Walking Distance’, ‘Walking Time’]
origins_layer_route_id_field	Optional string. Specify the field in the origins layer containing the IDs that pair origins with destinations. The ID values must uniquely identify points in the origins layer. Each ID value must also correspond with exactly one route ID value in the destinations layer. Route IDs that match across the layers create origin-destination pairs, which the tool connects together. Specifying origins_layer_route_id_field is optional when there is exactly one point feature in the origins or destinations layer. The tool will connect all origins to the one destination or the one origin to all destinations, depending on which layer contains one point.
destinations_layer_route_id_field	Optional string. Specify the field in the destinations layer containing the IDs that pair origins with destinations. The ID values must uniquely identify points in the destinations layer. Each ID value must also correspond with exactly one route ID value in the origins layer. Route IDs that match across the layers create origin-destination pairs, which the tool connects together. Specifying destinations_layer_route_id_field is optional when there is exactly one point feature in the origins or destinations layer. The tool will connect all origins to the one destination or the one origin to all destinations, depending on which layer contains one point.
time_of_day	Optional datetime.datetime. Specify whether travel times should consider traffic conditions. To use traffic in the analysis, set measurement_type to a travel mode object whose impedance_attribute_name property is set to travel_time and assign a value to time_of_day. (A travel mode with other impedance_attribute_name values don’t support traffic.) The time_of_day value represents the time at which travel begins, or departs, from the origin points. The time is specified as datetime.datetime. The service supports two kinds of traffic: typical and live. Typical traffic references travel speeds that are made up of historical averages for each five-minute interval spanning a week. Live traffic retrieves speeds from a traffic feed that processes phone probe records, sensors, and other data sources to record actual travel speeds and predict speeds for the near future. The data coverage page shows the countries Esri currently provides traffic data for. Typical Traffic: To ensure the task uses typical traffic in locations where it is available, choose a time and day of the week, and then convert the day of the week to one of the following dates from 1990: Monday—1/1/1990 Tuesday—1/2/1990 Wednesday—1/3/1990 Thursday—1/4/1990 Friday—1/5/1990 Saturday—1/6/1990 Sunday—1/7/1990 Set the time and date as datetime.datetime. For example, to solve for 1:03 p.m. on Thursdays, set the time and date to 1:03 p.m., 4 January 1990; and convert to datetime eg. datetime.datetime(1990, 1, 4, 1, 3). Live Traffic: To use live traffic when and where it is available, choose a time and date and convert to datetime. Esri saves live traffic data for 12 hours and references predictive data extending 12 hours into the future. If the time and date you specify for this parameter is outside the 24-hour time window, or the travel time in the analysis continues past the predictive data window, the task falls back to typical traffic speeds. Examples: from datetime import datetime “time_of_day”: datetime(1990, 1, 4, 1, 3) # 13:03, 4 January 1990. Typical traffic on Thursdays at 1:03 p.m. “time_of_day”: datetime(1990, 1, 7, 17, 0) # 17:00, 7 January 1990. Typical traffic on Sundays at 5:00 p.m. “time_of_day”: datetime(2014, 10, 22, 8, 0) # 8:00, 22 October 2014. If the current time is between 8:00 p.m., 21 Oct. 2014 and 8:00 p.m., 22 Oct. 2014, live traffic speeds are referenced in the analysis; otherwise, typical traffic speeds are referenced. “time_of_day”: datetime(2015, 3, 18, 10, 20) # 10:20, 18 March 2015. If the current time is between 10:20 p.m., 17 Mar. 2015 and 10:20 p.m., 18 Mar. 2015, live traffic speeds are referenced in the analysis; otherwise, typical traffic speeds are referenced.
time_zone_for_time_of_day	Optional string. Specify the time zone or zones of the timeOfDay parameter. Choice list: [‘GeoLocal’, ‘UTC’] GeoLocal-refers to the time zone in which the originsLayer points are located. UTC-refers to Coordinated Universal Time.
include_route_layers	Optional Boolean. When include_route_layers is set to true, each route from the result is also saved as a route layer item. A route layer includes all the information for a particular route such as the stops assigned to the route as well as the travel directions. Creating route layers is useful if you want to share individual routes with other members in your organization. The route layers use the output feature service name provided in the outputName parameter as a prefix and the route name generated as part of the analysis is added to create a unique name for each route layer. Caution: Route layers cannot be created when the output is a feature collection. The task will raise an error if output_name is not specified (which indicates feature collection output) and include_route_layers is true. The maximum number of route layers that can be created is 1,000. If the result contains more than 1,000 routes and include_route_layers is true, the task will only create the output feature service.
output_name	Optional string. If provided, the task will create a feature layer of the results. You define the name of the layer. If output_name is not supplied, the task will return a feature collection.
context	Optional string. Additional settings such as processing extent and output spatial reference. For calculate_density, there are two settings. Extent (extent)-a bounding box that defines the analysis area. Only those points in the origins_layer and destinations_layer that intersect the bounding box will be analyzed. Output Spatial Reference (outSR) If the output is a feature service, the spatial reference will be the same as originsLayer. Setting outSR for feature services has no effect. If the output is a feature collection, the features will be in the spatial reference of the outSRvalue or the spatial reference of originsLayer when outSR is not specified.
gis	Optional, the GIS on which this tool runs. If not specified, the active GIS is used.
estimate	Optional Boolean. Is true, the number of credits needed to run the operation will be returned as a float.
point_barrier_layer	Optional layer. Specify one or more point features that act as temporary restrictions (in other words, barriers) when traveling on the underlying streets. A point barrier can model a fallen tree, an accident, a downed electrical line, or anything that completely blocks traffic at a specific position along the street. Travel is permitted on the street but not through the barrier. See Feature Input.
line_barrier_layer	Optional layer. Specify one or more line features that prohibit travel anywhere the lines intersect the streets. A line barrier prohibits travel anywhere the barrier intersects the streets. For example, a parade or protest that blocks traffic across several street segments can be modeled with a line barrier. See Feature Input.
polygon_barrier_layer	Optional string. Specify one or more polygon features that completely restrict travel on the streets intersected by the polygons. One use of this type of barrier is to model floods covering areas of the street network and making road travel there impossible. See Feature Input.

Returns

dict with the following keys:

”routes_layer” : layer (FeatureCollection)

”unassigned_origins_layer” : layer (FeatureCollection)

”unassigned_destinations_layer” : layer (FeatureCollection)

USAGE EXAMPLE: To retrieve trvel modes and run connect_origins_to_destinations tool.

There are two types of expressions: attribute and spatial. An example of an attribute expression is that a parcel must be vacant, which is an attribute of the Parcels layer (where STATUS = ‘VACANT’). An example of a spatial expression is that the parcel must also be within a certain distance of a river (Parcels within a distance of 0.75 Miles from Rivers).The Derive New Locations task is very similar to the Find Existing Locations task, the main difference is that the result of Derive New Locations can contain partial features.In both tasks, the attribute expression where and the spatial relationships within and contains return the same result. This is because these relationships return entire features.When intersects or withinDistance is used, Derive New Locations creates new features in the result. For example, when intersecting a parcel feature and a flood zone area that partially overlap each other, Find Existing Locations will return the entire parcel whereas Derive New Locations will return just the portion of the parcel that is within the flood zone.
