cloning a public story map with the 2.4.2 Python API, issues

[MSLTrebesch]

So,

I'm attempting to clone a public story map to my ArcGIS Online org using clone_items.

I'm giving this a test on a public story map owned by Esri. Running this from a standard Notebook in ArcGIS Online using the 13.0 runtime (which has the 2.4.1 ArcGIS for Python API)

This is the public Story Map: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/0f6f051fba32481cba12e8565e8681a0

Code seems to hang. I've tried to just clone the webmap that's within the Story Map, but that seems to hang too.

https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=b5cebe00555444c08b13d15a00100b16

I thought clone items would copy what it needed, and Living Atlas layers and such would still be referenced?

Is there an issue with my code?

from arcgis.gis import GIS

-------------------------------------------------------------------

CONFIGURE THESE VALUES

-------------------------------------------------------------------

public_storymap_item_id = "0f6f051fba32481cba12e8565e8681a0" # replace with the public StoryMap item ID

target_folder = "test" # optional; set to None if you do not want a folder

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Connect anonymously to access the public source item

source_gis = GIS()

Connect to your ArcGIS Online organization

target_gis = GIS("home")

Get the public StoryMap item

source_item = source_gis.content.get(public_storymap_item_id)

if source_item is None:
raise ValueError("Could not find the public StoryMap item. Check the item ID.")
print(f"Source item found: {source_item.title} ({source_item.type})")

Clone the item into your organization

cloned_items = target_gis.content.clone_items(
items=[source_item],
folder=target_folder,
search_existing_items=True
)

Report results

if cloned_items:
cloned_item = cloned_items[0]
print("Clone completed.")
print(f"New item title: {cloned_item.title}")
print(f"New item ID: {cloned_item.id}")
print(f"New item URL: {cloned_item.homepage}")
else:
print("No cloned items were returned.")
