It can be a bit slow to log into my account through the API—about 20 seconds—which can take up the bulk of my script run time for simpler tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My organization builds applications mainly using Python and the ArcGIS API is very easy to use and integrate with different programs using Python. The features that they provide such as using APIs for cross-platform and provide about 1,000,000 basemap and geocode transactions per month for free is great for start-ups.

There is a different Commercial Deployment version also for ArcGIS API for Python which includes all the features in the free version and additionally just gives deployment of unlimited revenue-generating apps and ESRI technical support. I believe that for the commercial version they can provide some more benefits to the user too so it can become satisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its a very good library for who like to do code in Python and with Geographic data. I appreciate that supports Pandas! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

most irritating thing for me, that I can only use .zip file format also, while overwriting the feature layer there was a Key Error. That was a frustrating glitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the ArcGIS API for Python lets anyone leverage the rich Python ecosystem to accomplish a wide variety of tasks ranging from performing big data analysis to managing their web GIS and automate such workflows. I like that I can share programs and reproducible research with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike it that I can only use .zip. I also dislike that while overwriting the feature layer there was a KeyError. That was a frustrating glitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ArcGIS python API is super useful when you have spatial models that need to be run multiple times. Running scripts using the API is the best was to generate reproducible and accurate spatial models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
