Installing ArcGIS Python API with ArcGIS Pro

Geographic Information Systems Asked by ali_is on April 9, 2021

I am new to the world of ArcGIS and I come from a data science background. I recently installed ArcGIS Pro with a Single User license from my organization. I would like to use it with the Python API for deep learning.

Can anyone tell me how to get my setup properly working. I am confused as to how to login with the GIS() object in Python.

I would like to be able to perform tasks similar to this example: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/sample-notebooks/land-cover-classification-using-unet/

For using ArcGIS API for Python, credentials have to be provided gis = GIS("http://www.arcgis.com", "username", "password").

from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS("http://www.arcgis.com", "***", "***")
help(gis)

Information from help(gis)

class GIS(builtins.object)
 |  GIS(url=None, username=None, password=None, key_file=None, cert_file=None, verify_cert=True, set_active=True, client_id=None, profile=None, **kwargs)
 |  
 |  .. _gis:
 |  
 |  A GIS is representative of a single ArcGIS Online organization or an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. The GIS object
 |  provides helper objects to manage (search, create, retrieve) GIS resources such as content, users, and groups.
 |  
 |  Additionally, the GIS object has properties to query its state, which is accessible using the properties attribute.
 |  
 |  The GIS provides a mapping widget that can be used in the Jupyter Notebook environment for visualizing GIS content
 |  as well as the results of your analysis. To create a new map, call the map() method.
 |  
 |  The constructor constructs a GIS object given a url and user credentials to ArcGIS Online
 |  or an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal. User credentials can be passed in using username/password
 |  pair, or key_file/cert_file pair (in case of PKI). Supports built-in users, LDAP, PKI, Integrated Windows Authentication
 |  (using NTLM and Kerberos) and Anonymous access.
 |  
 |  If no url is provided, ArcGIS Online is used. If username/password
 |  or key/cert files are not provided, the currently logged-in user's credentials (IWA) or anonymous access is used.
 |  
 |  Persisted profiles for the GIS can be created by giving the GIS authorization credentials and
 |  specifying a profile name. The profile stores all of the authorization credentials (except the password) in the
 |  user's home directory in an unencrypted config file named .arcgisprofile. The profile securely stores the password
 |  in an O.S. specific password manager through the `keyring <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring>`_ python module.
 |  (Note: Linux systems may need additional software installed and configured for proper security) Once a profile has
 |  been saved, passing the profile parameter by itself uses the authorization credentials saved in the configuration
 |  file/password manager by that profile name. Multiple profiles can be created and used in parallel.
 |  
 |  See https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/working-with-different-authentication-schemes/ for examples.

 |  **Argument**        **Description**
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  url                 Optional string. If URL is None, then the URL will be ArcGIS
 |                      Online.  This should be a web address to either a local Portal
 |                      or to ArcGIS Online in the form:
 |                      <scheme>://<fully_qualified_domain_name>/<web_adaptor> (Portal Example)
 |                      https://gis.example.com/portal
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  username            Optional string. The login user name (case-sensitive).
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  password            Optional string. If a username is provided, a password is
 |                      expected.  This is case-sensitive. If the password is not
 |                      provided, the user is prompted in the interactive dialog.
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  key_file            Optional string. The file path to a user's key certificate for PKI
 |                      authentication
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  cert_file           Optional string. The file path to a user's certificate file for PKI
 |                      authentication. If a PFX or P12 certificate is used, a password is required.
 |                      If a PEM file is used, the key_file is required.
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  verify_cert         Optional boolean. If a site has an invalid SSL certificate or is
 |                      being accessed via the IP or hostname instead of the name on the
 |                      certificate, set this value to False.  This will ensure that all
 |                      SSL certificate issues are ignored.
 |                      The default is True.
 |                      **Warning** Setting the value to False can be a security risk.
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  set_active          Optional boolean. The default is True.  If True, the GIS object
 |                      will be used as the default GIS object throughout the whole
 |                      scripting session.
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  client_id           Optional string. Used for OAuth authentication.  This is the
 |                      client ID value.
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  profile             Optional string. the name of the profile that the user wishes to use
 |                      to authenticate, if set, the identified profile will be used to login
 |                      to the specified GIS.
 |  ================    ===============================================================
 |  
 |  In addition to explicitly named parameters, the GIS object supports optional key word
 |  arguments:
 |  
 |  ================    ===============================================================
 |  **kwargs**          **Description**
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  proxy_host          Optional string. The host name of the proxy server used to allow HTTP/S
 |                      access in the network where the script is run.
 |  
 |                      ex: 127.0.0.1
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  proxy_port          Optional integer. The proxy host port.  The default is 80.
 |  ----------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 |  token               Optional string. This is the Enterprise token for built-in
 |                      logins. This parameter is only honored if the username/password
 |                      is None and the security for the site uses BUILT-IN security.

The answer from @Taras is correct in how you can authenticate and startup the GIS object within the ArcGIS Python API -- there is, however, many ways to get started.

See the Working with different authentication schemes help topic.

In theory, you do not need to authenticate, you can start it up as an anonymous user to ArcGIS Online: gis = GIS()

However, as you said you want to make use of the Land Classification, that sample is using the Raster Analytics module, which requires a raster store. That means you need to be working against an on-premise ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. Based on that knowledge, you can make use of any of the authentication mechanisms listed in the help topic, as long as they apply to your particular Enterprise deployment.

Eg.

  • Within Pro, where you've already connected: gis = GIS("pro")
  • Using a built-in Enterprise account: gis = GIS("https://portalname.domain.com/webadapter_name", "sharinguser", "password")
  • An Active Directory configured Enterprise: gisldap = GIS("https://portalname.domain.com/webadapter_name", "AVWORLDPublisher", "password")

....and so on

See this page if you face issues with the installation process

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63128385/how-to-install-arcgis-python-api-with-deep-learning-dependencies-geoai-deep

I am pasting the current installation commands From the documentation page here.

You need to first clone the default environment and activate the cloned environment, help page for the same is here. You can then run the following command in python command prompt to install ArcGIS Python API with deep learning dependencies conda install -c esri -c fastai -c pytorch arcgis=1.8.2 scikit-image=0.15.0 pillow=6.2.2 libtiff=4.0.10 fastai=1.0.60 pytorch=1.4.0 torchvision=0.5.0 --no-pin
