arcgis.gis module

The gis module provides an information model for GIS hosted within ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. This module provides functionality to manage (create, read, update and delete) GIS users, groups and content. This module is the most important and provides the entry point into the GIS.

GIS

class arcgis.gis.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)

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
username	Optional string. The login user name (case-sensitive).
password	Optional string. If a username is provided, a password is expected. This is case-sensitive. If the password is not provided, the user is prompted in the interactive dialog.

cert_file	Optional string. The file path to a user’s certificate file for PKI authentication. If a PFX or P12 certificate is used, a password is required. If a PEM file is used, the key_file is required.
verify_cert	Optional boolean. If a site has an invalid SSL certificate or is being accessed via the IP or hostname instead of the name on the certificate, set this value to False. This will ensure that all SSL certificate issues are ignored. The default is True. Warning Setting the value to False can be a security risk.
set_active	Optional boolean. The default is True. If True, the GIS object will be used as the default GIS object throughout the whole scripting session.
client_id	Optional string. Used for OAuth authentication. This is the client ID value.
profile	Optional string. the name of the profile that the user wishes to use to authenticate, if set, the identified profile will be used to login to the specified GIS.

usage(date_range='7D', as_df=True)

ArcGIS Online Only

For item owners and administrators, usage provides usage details about an item that help you gauge its popularity. Usage details show how many times the item has been used for the time period you select. Historical usage information is available for the past year. Depending on the item type, usage details can include the number of views, requests, or downloads, and the average number of views, requests, or downloads per day.

Views refers to the number of times the item has been viewed or opened. For maps, scenes, nonhosted layers, and web apps, the view count is increased by one when you open the item page or open the item in Map Viewer. For example, if you opened the item page for a map image layer and clicked Open in Map Viewer, the count would increase by two. For other items such as mobile apps, KML, and so on, the view count is increased by one when you open the item; the count does not increase when you open the item details page.

For hosted web layers (feature, tile, and scene), the number of requests is provided instead of views. Requests refers to the number of times a request is made for the data within the layer. For example, someone might open an app that contains a hosted feature layer. Opening the app counts as one view for the application, but multiple requests may be necessary to draw all the features in the hosted layer and are counted as such.

For downloadable file item types such as CSV, SHP, and so on, the number of downloads is displayed. For registered apps, the Usage tab also displays the number of times users have logged in to the app. Apps that allow access to subscriber content through the organization subscription show usage by credits. You can change the time frame for the credit usage reporting period.

Argument	Description
date_range	Optional string. The default is 7d. This is the period to query usage for a given item. 24H Past 24 hours 7D Past 7 days (default) 14D Past 14 days 30D Past 30 days 60D Past 60 days 6M Past 6 months 1Y Past 12 months

Layer

class arcgis.gis.Layer(url, gis=None)

Bases: arcgis.gis._GISResource

The layer is a primary concept for working with data in a GIS.

Users create, import, export, analyze, edit, and visualize layers.

Layers can be added to and visualized using maps. They act as inputs to and outputs from analysis tools.

Layers are created by publishing data to a GIS, and are exposed as a broader resource (Item) in the GIS. Layer objects can be obtained through the layers attribute on layer Items in the GIS.

class arcgis.gis.GroupApplication(url, gis, **kwargs)

Bases: object

Represents a single group application on the GIS (ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS).

accept()

When a user applies to join a group, a group application is created. Group administrators choose to accept this application using the Accept Group Application operation. This operation adds the applying user to the group then deletes the application. This operation also creates a notification for the user indicating that the user’s group application was accepted. Available only to group owners and admins.

Returns

A boolean indicating success (True) or failure (False).

decline()

When a user applies to join a group, a group application is created. Group administrators can decline this application using this method. This method deletes the application and creates a notification for the user indicating that the user’s group application was declined. The applying user will not be added to the group. Available only to group owners and admins.

Returns

A boolean indicating success (True) or failure (False).

analyze(url=None, item=None, file_path=None, text=None, file_type=None, source_locale='en', geocoding_service=None, location_type=None, source_country='world', country_hint=None)

The Analyze call helps a client analyze a CSV or Excel file (.xlsx, .xls) prior to publishing or generating features using the Publish or Generate operation, respectively.

Analyze returns information about the file including the fields present as well as sample records. Analyze attempts to detect the presence of location fields that may be present as either X,Y fields or address fields.

Analyze packages its result so that publishParameters within the JSON response contains information that can be passed back to the server in a subsequent call to Publish or Generate. The publishParameters subobject contains properties that describe the resulting layer after publishing, including its fields, the desired renderer, and so on. Analyze will suggest defaults for the renderer.

In a typical workflow, the client will present portions of the Analyze results to the user for editing before making the call to Publish or Generate.

If the file to be analyzed currently exists in the portal as an item, callers can pass in its itemId. Callers can also directly post the file. In this case, the request must be a multipart post request pursuant to IETF RFC1867. The third option for text files is to pass the text in as the value of the text parameter.

Argument	Description

replace_service(replace_item, new_item, replaced_service_name=None, replace_metadata=False)

The replace_service operation allows you to replace your production vector tile layers with staging ones. This operation allows you to perform quality control on a staging tile layer and to then replace the production tile layer with the staging with minimal downtime. This operation has the option to keep a backup of the production tile layer.

Note: If you are looking to clone services, use the clone_items() method instead. Note: This functionality is only available for Vector Tile Services.

Workflow for replace_service:

1. Publish the staging service to the same system as the production service. Both services are active at the same time. Share the staging service with a smaller set of users and QA the staging service.

2. The item properties (ex: thumbnail, iteminfo, metadata) of the production item will be preserved. If you need to update them use the Item.update() method.

3. Call the replace_service operation. The service running on the hosting server gets replaced (for example, its cache).

*Note: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure both services are functionally equivalent for clients consuming them. For example, when replacing a hosted feature service, ensure the new service is constructed with the anticipated layers and fields for its client application.

If you want to retain the replaced production service, for example, to keep an archive of the evolution of the service you can do so by omitting a value for “Replaced Service Name” . If replaced service name is not provided, the production service being replaced will be archived with a time stamp when replace service was executed. You can provide any name for the replaced service as long as it is not pre-existing on your portal content.

Argument	Description
replace_item	Required Item or Item’s Id as string. The service to be replaced
new_item	Required Item or Item’s Id as string. The replacement service.
replaced_service_name	Optional string. The name of the replacement service.
replace_metadata	Optional Boolean. When set to True, the item info {“thumbnail”, “tag”, “description”, “summary”} of the current service is updated to that of the replacement service. The Credits, Terms of use, and Created from details will not be replaced. This option is set to False by default.

Returns

boolean
