arcgis.realtime module¶

The arcgis.realtime module provides API functions to work with and automate real-time data feeds, continuous processing and analysis of streaming data, and stream layers.

This module contains the following:

StreamLayer provides types and functions for receiving real-time data feeds and sensor data streamed from the GIS to perform continuous processing and analysis. It includes support for stream layers that allow Python scripts to subscribe to the streamed feature data or broadcast updates or alerts.

The Velocity class and the various submodules provide API functions to automate the ArcGIS Velocity REST API.

StreamLayer¶

class arcgis.realtime.StreamLayer(url, gis=None)¶

Allows Python scripts to subscribe to the feature data streamed from the GIS, using ArcGIS GeoEvent Server or ArcGIS Velocity, or to broadcast updates and alerts. This class can be used to perform continuous processing and analysis on streaming data as it is received.

property filter¶: Get/Set property used for filtering the streamed features so they meet spatial and SQL like criteria, and return the specified fields.

property out_sr¶: Get/Set the spatial reference of the streamed features.

subscribe(on_features, on_open=None, on_disconnect=None, on_error=None)¶

Allows Python scripts to subscribe to the feature data streamed from the GIS using ArcGIS GeoEvent Server or ArcGIS Velocity. Subscribing to the streamed data can be used to perform continuous processing and analysis of real-time data as it is received.

Parameter	Description
on_features	callback function that is called every time features are streamed to the client.
on_open	callback function called when the connection to the streaming server is created.
on_disconnect	callback function called when the connection to the streaming server is closed.
on_error	callback function called if the connection recieves an error.
