Add Web Layer - Stored Credentials

[BrettFrahm]

How would I be able to Add a web item to arcgis online with stored credentials using the python api?

I've looked through the documentation found publish(), add(), and register(), but I did not see anything about being able to store credentials? Thanks!

Issue closed. An ESRI analyst helped me with this. Example code below for anybody that is interested.

from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS('https://www.arcgis.com','arch0000')
token = gis._con.token

item_properties = {

"title":"TestAdd2",

"tags":"test",
"url":"https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Wildfire_secure/FeatureServer",

"type":"Feature Service",
"description":"Test Me",
"serviceUsername":"user1",
"servicePassword":"user1",
"token":token

}

gis.content.add(data="https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Wildfire_secure/FeatureServer",owner="arch0000",item_properties=item_properties)

To add the stored credentials you need to add three keys to your item_properties

{
"ur"l: "YOUR URL",
"serviceUsername": "YOUR USERNAME",
"servicePassword" : " YOUR PASSWORD"
}

Hey @achapkowski ,

Thanks for the reply. So you didn't include the token aspect that the ESRI analyst gave me. Is providing the token in item_properties not necessary for this process to work? Thanks!

The additem method automatically appends a token to the REST call.
