Python Samples "sudden" ID #1586

Closed amrirasyidi closed 1 year ago

amrirasyidi commented 1 year ago

I just read a crime analysis sample from the arcgis python api documentation. While reading it, I found ids with no explanation where to find it like these:

bigdata_fileshares = bigdata_datastore_manager.search(id='0e7a861d-c1c5-4acc-869d-05d2cebbdbee')
bigdata_fileshares

and

illinois_blk_grps = agol_gis.content.get('a11d886be35149cb9dab0f7aac75a2af')

I don't quite understand how the tutorial decide which ID to use (like id='0e7a861d-c1c5-4acc-869d-05d2cebbdbee' and 'a11d886be35149cb9dab0f7aac75a2af'), and where to find them?

If it requires the user/developer to go to a specific page (e.g. AGOL content page), I think it will be much clearer.

To find the item ids you can look at the item properties using the python API or you can also look at the item in your ArcGIS Online or Enterprise and find them in the url.

Hi, thanks for the response.

My issue was about the tutorial clarity.

I think it would be helpful to add this line as a step in the tutorial, instead of suddenly bring up ids out of nowhere. "To find the item ids you can look at the item properties using the python API or you can also look at the item in your ArcGIS Online or Enterprise and find them in the url."

Or maybe something like "to find the id go to this page". Or to a more appropriate page (I found a better tutorial to find an item id than that page, but I can't remember where).
