After the introduction to the ArcGIS REST API and beginning to work with Python and ArcGIS web services, we have now built the foundation of knowledge necessary to begin working with the ArcREST Python library developed by ESRI. This module is designed for working with the ArcGIS REST API and making it easier and more efficient. If you work with ArcGIS Online, Portal for ArcGIS, or ArcGIS Server, the ArcREST Python package will make managing services and the administration of your sites much easier. As you may remember from the previous chapter, we wrote a function called return_token that was approximately 14 lines of code in order to access a token for an ArcGIS feature service. Now, using ArcREST, we will show you how to get this token with only one line of code, along with many other use cases. Although you can use ArcREST with Portal for ArcGIS and...

Overview of this book
ArcGIS allows for complex analyses of geographic information. The ArcPy module is used to script these ArcGIS analyses, providing a productive way to perform geo-analyses and automate map production.
The second edition of the book focuses on new Python tools, such as the ArcGIS API for Python. Using Python, this book will guide you from basic Python scripting to advanced ArcPy script tools.
This book starts off with setting up your Python environment for ArcGIS automation. Then you will learn how to output maps using ArcPy in MXD and update feature class in a geodatabase using arcpy and ArcGIS Online. Next, you will be introduced to ArcREST library followed by examples on querying, updating and manipulating ArcGIS Online feature services. Further, you will be enabling your scripts in the browser and directly interacting with ArcGIS Online using Jupyter notebook. Finally, you can learn ways to use of ArcPy to control ArcGIS Enterprise and explore topics on deployments, data quality assurances, data updates, version control, and editing safeguards.
By the end of the book, you will be equipped with the knowledge required to create automated analysis with administration reducing the time-consuming nature of GIS.
