The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef Watch frequently updates data on coral bleaching. If you map this data, it will likely become outdated within a few weeks. How do you automate updates so that your GIS layers use the latest data as soon as it becomes available?

One way is to use a feed routine. A feed routine is a workflow in which data is queried from a live feed repository, and the information is passed to a map. In this ArcGIS lab, you will use Python to create two feed routines: one that automatically updates feature classes in ArcGIS Pro and one that automatically updates feature services in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.


  • Use ArcPy to automatically update layers in a map with real-time data.
  • Use the ArcGIS API for Python to create a feed routine to automatically update web layers with real-time data.
