ArcGIS

This notebook demonstrates the use of the langchain_community.document_loaders.ArcGISLoader class.

You will need to install the ArcGIS API for Python arcgis and, optionally, bs4.BeautifulSoup.

You can use an arcgis.gis.GIS object for authenticated data loading, or leave it blank to access public data.

from langchain_community.document_loaders import ArcGISLoader

URL = "https://maps1.vcgov.org/arcgis/rest/services/Beaches/MapServer/7"
loader = ArcGISLoader(URL)

docs = loader.load()

API Reference:

Let’s measure loader latency.

Retrieving Geometries​

If you want to retrieve feature geometries, you may do so with the return_geometry keyword.

Each document’s geometry will be stored in its metadata dictionary.

loader_geom = ArcGISLoader(URL, return_geometry=True)
%%time

docs = loader_geom.load()
