Prerequisites<\/h2>\n
To start, there are a few prerequisites before beginning the migration process.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Your ArcGIS Online login must own the features or be an administrator, or the owner or administrator has configured the layer to allow others to export data.<\/li>\n
- Determine what format to export the data. We will discuss the options for each topic, as one or two may slightly differ.<\/li>\n
- An enterprise geodatabase connection with a database user who has permissions to add data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
Export Data option from ArcGIS Online<\/h2>\n
The Export Data<\/strong><\/span> menu is the primary option to download data from ArcGIS Online. The tool generates an item within your content in ArcGIS Online that encompasses the data from the selected layers in different formats. You can then download the data from that item to be used in ArcGIS Pro, Microsoft Excel, and other products.<\/p>\n
The tool can be accessed from the items page when you want to download the full dataset.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2750502,"id":2750502,"title":"The Export Data option from ArcGIS Online","filename":"exportdataoption.png","filesize":19679,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/data-management\/a-guide-to-migrating-data-from-arcgis-online-to-an-enterprise-geodatabase\/exportdataoption","alt":"The Export Data option from ArcGIS Online","author":"156961","description":"The Export Data option from ArcGIS Online","caption":"The Export Data option from ArcGIS Online","name":"exportdataoption","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2750462,"date":"2025-04-07 22:17:34","modified":"2025-04-08 20:38:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":353,"height":364,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","medium-width":253,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","medium_large-width":353,"medium_large-height":364,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","large-width":353,"large-height":364,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","1536x1536-width":353,"1536x1536-height":364,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","2048x2048-width":353,"2048x2048-height":364,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","card_image-width":353,"card_image-height":364,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/exportdataoption.png","wide_image-width":353,"wide_image-height":364}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
Now let\u2019s review the output formats. Depending on your workflow, you might choose one over the other.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Use<\/b> Export to <\/strong>Shapefile<\/strong><\/a> when most of your workflows are performed in ArcMap. For more information on this method, check out this knowledge base article<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Use<\/b> Export to <\/strong>CSV<\/strong><\/a> file <\/strong>or<\/b> Export to Excel <\/strong>when you want to use the data in a tabular format or for data analysis. When you export point features to these formats, all attribute fields and the x- and y-coordinates of each point are exported.\u00a0 When exporting lines or polygons, only nonspatial attributes are extracted.<\/li>\n
- Export to <\/strong>KML<\/strong><\/a> ensures you can use the data in ArcGIS Earth and Google Earth.<\/li>\n
- Export to FGDB<\/a><\/strong> (file geodatabase) is the most comprehensive method of export. This is because it includes all the functionality applied at the feature class level, such as attribute domains, subtypes, contingent values, and attachments.<\/li>\n
- Use<\/b> Export to <\/strong>GeoJSON<\/strong><\/a> for<\/b> the open data format that supports a seamless integration with JavaScript frameworks for exchanging and visualizing geospatial data on the web.<\/li>\n
- Export to <\/strong>Feature Collection<\/strong><\/a> items are a subset of feature layers with focused and limited functionality.<\/li>\n
- Use<\/b> Export to <\/strong>GeoPackage<\/strong><\/a> when your analysis spans ArcGIS products and includes open data source software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Download data from ArcGIS Online using ArcGIS API for Python<\/h2>\n
If you are a developer looking to eliminate manual steps or work with large volumes of data, you can download a copy of all your hosted web layers using the ArcGIS API for Python. To extract data from one or more layers within a given extent use the extract data method<\/a>. The extracted data format can be a file geodatabase, shapefiles, csv, or kml. Download and extract data with zip files (such as File geodatabases and shapefiles) prior to using this method.<\/p>\n
For more information, including guided steps and sample script check out the Download feature service items from ArcGIS Online using ArcGIS API<\/a> for Python knowledge-based article.<\/p>\n
Note<\/strong>: Consider a similar approach with the Extract Data task<\/a> using the REST API.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
Downloading services with attachments<\/h2>\n
Downloading large feature services with attachments using the REST API can be challenging due to file size limitations. However, you can manage this by splitting the data into smaller batches. You can export subsets of the feature service data with attachments to a replica from a REST endpoint<\/a>.\u00a0 Access this method from the View Details page. The Feature Service<\/strong><\/span> link opens the ArcGIS Rest Services Directory page. A where clause can be set to create a subset replica to an output URL.
