I do not have ArcGIS desktop. And I have installed the ArcGIS Python API.

And I tried the following:

import arcgis
from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.mapping import WebMap
gis = GIS()
map1 = gis.map('Paris') # Passing a place name to the constructor
                        # will initialize the extent of the map.
map1

No map displayed.

Why is that?

  • I dont know the arcgis-python-api but it looks like 'Paris' is just a string, like 'asdadas'. Shouldnt it be a variable or something else? Or arcgis_online.map("Paris")? (developers.arcgis.com/python/sample-notebooks/…)

  • some said I need to use python -m arcgis.install to enable the map widget. But I don't know how to do that in Jupyter Notebook.
