Code sample

GetWebToolInfo example 1

The following code sample shows how to get the maximum number of facilities supported by the Service Area utility service from your active portal.

# The following code sample shows how to get the maximum number of facilities supported by the Service Area utility
# service from your active portal.

import arcpy

# Get the active portal url
portal_url = arcpy.GetActivePortalURL()
print(f"Active portal: {portal_url}")

# Get the tool limits for the tool from the active portal
tool_info = arcpy.na.GetWebToolInfo("asyncServiceArea", "GenerateServiceAreas")
max_facilities = tool_info["serviceLimits"]["maximumFacilities"]
print(f"Maximum facilities: {max_facilities}")

GetWebToolInfo example 2

The following code sample shows how to print the traffic support type for all the cost attributes from your network data source. The portal URL is specified explicitly.
