I am trying to access a feature layer within my Portal using the layers path. I have been accessing the data within Visual Studio Code using the feature layers ID like this:

feature_service_layer = gis.content.get('964b4b7b112347e9ff76609bfc75432').layers[0]

I'd like to make a Geoprocessing tool out of the code. The tool would accept the parameter under the format of the URL which would be something along the lines of: 'https://maps.portaladdress.com/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/Feature_layer/FeatureServer/0'

I have tried to add the URL to the code but it is unsuccessful. Here is what it looked like (I also tried the .Search method):


feature_service_layer = gis.content.get(https://maps.portaladdress.com/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/Feature_layer/FeatureServer/0)

feature_service_layer = gis.content.search(https://maps.portaladdress.com/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/Feature_layer/FeatureServer/0)

If I can't use these methods how am I supposed to take a feature layer in as a parameter and access its data?

  • @user2856 where will it create that feature layer? My default geodatabase within the pro project? Commented Sep 28, 2023 at 14:39
  • Layers aren't featureclasses. It'll just make a layer in memory that points at the url. Look at the examples in the documentation for arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer Commented Sep 28, 2023 at 21:04
