This script fetches enforcement data from an external API, truncates a specified feature layer in ArcGIS, and adds the fetched data as features to the layer. The script performs the following tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Truncate the specified layer** in ArcGIS to clear any previous features before adding new ones.
|
||||
2. **Fetch data** from an API in paginated form.
|
||||
3. **Save data** from each API response to individual JSON files.
|
||||
4. **Aggregate all data** from all pages into one JSON file.
|
||||
5. **Add the aggregated data** as features to an ArcGIS feature service.

## Functionality
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Truncate Layer**: Before fetching and adding any new data, the script will call the `truncate` function to clear out any existing features from the specified layer. This ensures that the feature layer is empty and ready for the new data.

### Example Output
|
||||
## Example Output
|
||||
|
||||
- Individual page files are saved in the `data/` directory with filenames like `enforcement_page_1_results_100_2025-03-26_14-30-45.json`.
|
||||
- The aggregated file is saved as `aggregated_enforcement_results_2025-03-26_14-30-45.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Logs will also be generated in the `753DataSync.log` file and printed to the console.
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
- If an error occurs while fetching data, the script will log the error and stop execution.
|
||||
- If the `truncate` or `add_features` operations fail, the script will log the error and stop execution.
|
||||
- The script handles HTTP errors and network-related errors gracefully.
