## 🚀 Overview
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. It also logs the operation, saves data to JSON files, and optionally purges old files.
---
## 📦 Requirements
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Required packages in `requirements.txt`
- `.env` file with your configuration
- ArcGIS Online credentials
---
## 🔧 Installation
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Or install packages individually:
```bash
pip install requests python-dotenv
```
---
## ⚙️ Configuration
Create a `.env` file in the root of your project:
```env
API_URL=https://example.com/api
AGOL_USER=your_username
AGOL_PASSWORD=your_password
HOSTNAME=www.arcgis.com
INSTANCE=your_instance
FS=your_feature_service
LAYER=0
LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
PURGE_DAYS=5
```
### Required Variables
| Variable | Description |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------|
| `API_URL` | The API endpoint to fetch data from |
| `AGOL_USER` | ArcGIS Online username |
| `AGOL_PASSWORD`| ArcGIS Online password |
| `HOSTNAME` | ArcGIS host (e.g., `www.arcgis.com`) |
| `INSTANCE` | ArcGIS REST instance path |
| `FS` | Feature service name |
| `LAYER` | Feature layer ID or name |
### Optional Variables
| Variable | Description |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------|
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Log level (`DEBUG`, `INFO`, etc.) |
| `PURGE_DAYS` | Number of days to retain logs and JSONs |
---
## 🧪 Script Usage
```bash
python 753DataSync.py --results_per_page 100
```
### CLI Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|----------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| `--results_per_page` | Optional. Number of results per API call (default: `100`) |
---
## 📋 Functionality
1. **🔁 Truncate Layer** — Clears existing ArcGIS features.
2. **🌐 Fetch Data** — Retrieves paginated data from the API.
3. **💾 Save Data** — Writes each page to a time-stamped JSON file.
4. **📦 Aggregate Data** — Combines all pages into one file.
5. **📤 Add Features** — Sends data to ArcGIS feature layer.
6. **🧹 File Cleanup** — Deletes `.json`/`.log` files older than `PURGE_DAYS`.
7. **📑 Dynamic Logs** — Logs saved to `753DataSync_YYYY-MM-DD.log`.

```
---
## 🛠 Troubleshooting
- Set `LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG` in `.env` for detailed logs.
- Ensure `.env` has no syntax errors.
- Make sure your ArcGIS layer has permission for truncation and writes.
- Check for internet/API access and expired ArcGIS tokens.
- Logs are written to both console and daily log files.

## 🧪 Testing
Currently, the script is tested manually. Automated testing may be added under a `/tests` folder in the future.
---
## 📖 Usage Examples
```bash
# Run with default page size
python 753DataSync.py
# Run with custom page size
python 753DataSync.py --results_per_page 50
```
