The ArcGIS API for Python

ArcGIS API for Python is a Python library for working with maps and geospatial data, powered by web GIS. It provides simple and efficient tools for sophisticated vector and raster analysis, geocoding, map making, routing and directions, as well as for organizing and managing a GIS with users, groups and information items. In addition to working with your own data, the library enables access to ready to use maps and curated geographic data from Esri and other authoritative sources. It also integrates well with the scientific Python ecosystem and includes rich support for Pandas and Jupyter notebook.

Usage

Listing Profile Names

The .arcgisprofile file can contain multiple entries. It is nice to know what profile names exist.

from arcgisprofile import list_profiles
print(list_profiles())

Getting the Profile Information

The profile file provides basic information that is important. It provides the site URL, the last time used, and the username.

from arcgisprofile import list_profiles, profile_information
for profile in list_profiles():
	data = profile_information(profile)
	print(data)

The result of the profile_information is to provide a dictionary with the following key/value pairs:

{
	"date_modified" : <datime.datetime> object,
	"username" : "Username as String",
	"url" : "Login URL for the Site"
}

Removing a Profile Entry

The profile file determines if a user can access that profile stored on a system. This method will remove the profile name from the .arcgisprofile file.

from arcgisprofile import list_profiles, remove_profile
for profile in list_profiles():
	if profile == 'bad profile':
		data = remove_profile(profile)
print(list_profiles())
