Export tracks from ArcGIS Online

This script provides the ability to export tracks from a location tracking or track view feature service. This script only works for ArcGIS Online. It is designed to be a scheduled task to routinely export track data for storage outside of ArcGIS Online. It generates the CSV file on the server, then downloads it. It supports exporting the last X number of full days of tracks, where a day can be defined in any time zone.

The script uses the following parameters:

  • -username <username> - The username to authenticate with
  • -password <password> - The password to authenticate with
  • -org <org> - The organization url to sign in with. Defaults to "https://arcgis.com"
  • -track-item <tracks-item> - The item id of the location tracking service or track view item. This is required.
  • -track-age <track-age> - Number of previous full days of tracks to export. Default is 1.
  • -time-zone <time-zone> - The time zone that defines a "full day". These are defined by IANA Defaults to "UTC". Other examples: "America/New_York".
  • -output-directory <directory> - The directory where the CSV file should be stored.
  • -log-file <logFile> - The log file to use for logging messages. Optional

Example Usage: Last 25 days

python export_tracks.py -username username -password password -track-age 25 -track-item 0e84dfc7a2a54bb5a7dfc04197b3fa0b -log-file log.txt -output-directory "/Users/exports"
 -time-zone "America/New_York"

What it does

  1. First the script uses the provided credentials to authenticate with ArcGIS Online.
  2. Then the track item is fetched and exported to a new item using the specified relative date range.
  3. Then that item is downloaded to the specified directory and is named using "tracks_<start-date>_<end-date>.csv
