New Connector: Esri ArcGIS Online
Answered
Hi,
Esri ArcGIS is one of the most used geospatial software in the world.
They have the concept of a "Hosted Feature Service" (HFS) that acts as the single source of truth within the system.
An HFS is a data store that can hold geospatial information like vectors. Basically, every system in the Esri ecosystem integrates with the HFS, so having data in HFS enables the system to use it in a variety of end-user-applications. Additionally, third party geospatial enterprise SaaS solutions like Trimble CityWorks also integrate seamlessly with ArcGIS HFS.
Having a Fivetran connector to sync between Esri ArcGIS HFS and other Fivetran sources/destinations would enable hundreds of cool geospatial usecases.
All the best,
Toby

Hi Toby, Luke, and Stephan,
Thanks for the detailed request and for up-voting ArcGIS Online. Good news: our AI Connector Agent, now in Beta, can already generate a fully-managed Fivetran connector for most REST-based APIs including ArcGIS Online’s Hosted Feature Service (HFS).
What you need to get started:
API docs – a public ArcGIS REST reference URL or a PDF / OpenAPI spec.
Connection details – your ArcGIS org URL, service name, and token (or username/password).
Next steps:
Follow the setup guide here → https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/ai-connector-agent
Upload the ArcGIS API docs or paste the public docs URL when prompted.
Generate the connector, select the layers (tables) you want, and run the first sync.
If you hit any snags whether with auth, geometry columns, or pagination, just open a Fivetran Support ticket and our team will investigate. Because AICA connectors are fully managed, there’s no custom code for you to maintain.
Give it a try and let us know how it goes. We’re excited to see the geospatial use cases you unlock!
Best,
Tom
