Features of ArcGIS Data Pipelines
ArcGIS Data Pipelines is a no-code data engineering capability that streamlines data preparation, integration, and automation in ArcGIS.
DATA INTEGRATION
Data integration for ArcGIS
Bring enterprise and third‑party data into ArcGIS using a native data integration capability that supports common data formats and helps teams standardize how they’re integrating data across the organization.
- Connect to data stored in Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Storage, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and other supported cloud‑based data stores
- Integrate data from URLs and APIs and use that data to create or update layers in your ArcGIS organization
- Combine data from disparate sources into unified datasets for use across maps, apps, dashboards, and analysis
DATA PREPARATION
Data preparation and transformation
Use built‑in tools to build and blend datasets so they’re ready for mapping, analysis, and reporting.
- Clean, format, and construct datasets using tools designed for tabular and spatial data
- Combine and refine datasets as part of a repeatable workflow that improves data quality and readiness
- Preview data at each step to validate results as you process data
NO-CODE INTERFACE
Visual data engineering workflows
ArcGIS Data Pipelines is a no-code data integration tool that lets you design and manage data pipelines using an intuitive, drag-and-drop app.
- Access, prepare, and publish data more efficiently without scripting or desktop GIS expertise
- Enhance collaboration across teams and simplify handoffs
- Add notes to your data pipelines to document each step and improve clarity, review, and knowledge transfer
AUTOMATION
Automation and scheduling
Save time and keep information up to date with automation. As source data changes, data pipelines can be automated to ensure the information in your maps and apps remains current.
- Schedule data pipelines to run at a cadence you choose
- Keep data up to date and save time by reducing manual processes
- Integrate data pipelines with other automated workflows using the ArcGIS REST API, ArcGIS API for Python, or Microsoft Power Automate
CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIES
Organizations use ArcGIS Data Pipelines to keep GIS data current
- Managing 37,000 acres of parkland with trusted data
- Reducing time spent on data updates by 75%
- Building public trust with automated data updates
ArcGIS Data Pipelines is backed by Esri’s world-class support
Access to ArcGIS Data Pipelines includes much more than GIS software. Depend on Esri’s decades of experience and proven expertise helping people succeed with GIS.

Frequently asked questions
ArcGIS Data Pipelines is a no-code, visual data engineering capability that makes it easy to prepare and integrate data for mapping and analysis in ArcGIS.
Using a drag‑and‑drop interface, you can:
- Integrate data from cloud-based data stores, APIs, and other enterprise systems with ArcGIS
- Prepare and transform data with built-in tools
- Automate data engineering workflows with task scheduling
- Publish layers that are ready for use in ArcGIS
This makes ArcGIS Data Pipelines well suited for GIS data preparation and data integration in ArcGIS.
Yes. ArcGIS Data Pipelines is available in both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise.
ArcGIS Online
- Immediately available
- Uses credits while running data pipelines
ArcGIS Enterprise
- Included with ArcGIS Enterprise Advanced on Windows and Linux
- Requires organization administrators to install, license, and federate an ArcGIS Data Pipelines server site with their deployment
- Planned for inclusion with ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes in a future release
To create and run data pipelines, users must meet the following requirements:
Use one of the following user types:
- Use one of the following user types:
- Creator
- Professional
- Professional Plus
- Sign in to an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization
- Have one of the following roles:
- Publisher
- Facilitator
- Administrator
- Or an equivalent custom role
The following ArcGIS Online subscription types do not include ArcGIS Data Pipelines:
- Personal Use
- Trial
Yes. ArcGIS Data Pipelines supports scheduled runs, allowing you to automate data integration workflows.
You can:
- Schedule data pipelines to run at regular intervals, ranging from every 15 minutes to monthly
- Keep GIS data up to date as source data changes
All three products support data integration in GIS, but they serve different purposes.
ArcGIS Data Pipelines
- A lightweight, web‑based extract, transform, and load (ETL) tool for ArcGIS
- Designed for data integration and data preparation in ArcGIS
- Best for processing tabular and vector data
ArcGIS Data Interoperability
- A desktop‑based ETL tool
- Supports complex ETL workflows, advanced transformations, and many data formats
- Available as an extension for ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise
ArcGIS Velocity
- A real‑time capability for ingesting and analyzing streaming data
- Designed for stream processing, real‑time analytics, and event‑driven workflows
- Best for sensor data and live feeds, not batch data preparation
A data pipeline in ArcGIS is a visual workflow created using the ArcGIS Data Pipelines app that allows users to connect, prepare, and integrate data for mapping and analytics.
When saved, a data pipeline item is created in the user's content, allowing the data preparation workflow to be edited, reused, shared, and automated.
Yes, ArcGIS Data Pipelines is an ETL tool that includes:
- Connectors to common data sources
- Data transformation tools
- Output connectors
- Built-in scheduling
Unlike the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension, which is a desktop-based ETL tool designed for complex integrations, ArcGIS Data Pipelines is designed to help users prepare and integrate data with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise.
