Description

With over 8 hours of content, this course is the first of its kind relating to the ArcGIS API for Python and its capabilities for WebMap interactions to create, update, maintain, and manage WebMaps in ArcGIS Online. Please note: This course is for the ArcGIS API for Python version 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3. There was a major update to Web Map components of the API in version 2.4 released mid-September 2024. I am currently working on the updates and they will be added to the course early next year.Automating tasks with Esri technology and with ArcGIS Online/Portal is already in high demand and growing! There is a skills and knowledge gap with the utilisation of the ArcGIS API for Python. Fill in that gap and put yourself at the forefront of the demand.You will get comfortable with the Item Object and the WebMap Object and the different components of the WebMap that each controls - sometimes we need to update the WebMap Item Object, sometimes we need to update the WebMap Object, all depending on the manipulation and update being performed. All will become clear as you progress through the course.We will interact with...BasemapsThe WebMap Item ObjectThe WebMap Objectadd and remove layers and tablesdive into the definition for a Webmap layerWebMap Layer Propertiestitle (name)visibilityopacityfilterslabelsand moreWebMap Configurationsset the extentreorder layersgroup layersand moreWebMap Layer SymbologyWebMap Layer Popupsand many more including additional materialYou will have lifetime access to the course material, as the API evolves, the course structure and lessons will be updated to reflect the changes. Sometimes API changes are minor and sometimes they are major so keeping up with the changes are important.Your course instructor, Glen Bambrick, has over 17 years' experience with GIS and geospatial data, and has implemented standardized workflows utilizing the ArcGIS API for Python to great affect. In this course he will introduce you to the ArcGIS for Python API for interacting with WebMap components and take you through some common tasks with a focus on gaining a deep understanding of the underlying JSON definitions associated with a WebMap and and Item object.By the end of this course... you will be fully armed with the capability to start using the ArcGIS for Python API with your own workflows for accessing an manipulating WebMap components. This course will spark your imagination to what can be achieved and give you a solid footing to begin making the ArcGIS for Python API a part of your daily endeavors for automating those repetitive tasks relating to ArcGIS Online WebMaps and beyond. You will be able create a WebMap object and save as a an Item object along with a deep understanding of the Item Object and WebMap object definitions to perform tasks such as adding and removing layers, updating symbology and popups, reordering layers, along with WebMap admin such as applying a Content Status and adding Delete Protection.
