The ArcGIS API for Python is a Pythonic library for working with maps, geospatial data, and web GIS, supporting spatial analysis, deep learning, geocoding, routing, and GIS administration. This repository provides its documentation, guides, and sample Jupyter notebooks.

Use cases

  • analyze geospatial data in python
  • make maps from python notebooks
  • geocode addresses in bulk
  • administer arcgis online users and groups
  • run deep learning object detection on satellite imagery
  • automate publishing of web maps and feature layers
  • compute routes and service areas

When to choose

  • you work in the Esri/ArcGIS ecosystem with ArcGIS Online or Enterprise
  • you want Jupyter-based spatial analysis and visualization
  • you need to script GIS administration and content management
  • you want geospatial deep learning with GPU support

When to avoid

  • you need a fully open-source GIS stack without Esri accounts or licensing
  • you want a lightweight mapping library without web GIS dependencies
  • you need offline desktop GIS scripting with arcpy in ArcGIS Pro only
