Publishing to ArcGIS Online

In Chapter 3, you were introduced to the ArcGIS API for Python and used it to search for data, groups, and users in your organization. The data you were searching for was published to ArcGIS Online. This can be done by publishing maps and service definitions from within ArcGIS Pro, but you can also add and publish CSVs, shapefiles, and geodatabases by using the ArcGIS API for Python. By creating Notebooks or script tools to publish data to your organization, you can automate repetitive tasks for data that needs to be updated regularly and reduce the number of clicks you have to make.

In this chapter, you will cover:

• Using the ContentManager class to publish new content and organize it in folders
• Using the GroupManager class to create new groups and share content with them
• Using the features module to work with feature layers
• Using the mapping module to visualize your data
