Description
The Watershed
task determines the contributing area above a set of cells in a raster.
The value of each watershed will be taken from the value of the source in the input raster or feature pour point data. When the pour point is a raster, the cell values will be used. When the pour point is a point feature, the values from the specified field will be used.
Request parameters
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
(Required) | The input raster that shows the direction of flow out of each cell. Syntax: This parameter can be specified as a portal item ID, a URL to a raster image service layer, a cloud raster dataset, or a shared raster dataset. Examples:
|
(Required) | The input pour point locations. For a raster, this represents cells above which the contributing area, or catchment, will be determined. All cells that are not NoData will be used as source cells. For a point input, this represents locations above which the contributing area, or catchment, will be determined. Syntax: This parameter can have either a raster input or a feature input. For raster input, this parameter can be specified as a portal item ID, a URL to a raster image service layer, a cloud raster dataset, or a shared raster dataset. For feature input, this parameter can be specified as either a URL to a feature service layer or a feature collection. Raster input examples:

(Required) |
The name of the output image service that will be created. You can specify the name, or you can create an empty service using Portal Admin Sharing API and use the return JSON object as input to this parameter. Syntax: A JSON object describes the name of the output or the output raster. Output name example:

| The field used to assign values to the pour point locations. If the input pour point dataset is a raster, use Syntax: A string that represents a field name. Example:

The response format. The default response format is Values: |
Response
When you submit a request, the task assigns a unique job ID for the transaction.
{
"jobId": "<unique job identifier>",
"jobStatus": "<job status>"
}
After the initial request is submitted, you can use the job
to periodically check the status of the job and messages as described in Checking job status. Once the job has successfully completed, you use the job
to retrieve the results. To track the status, you can make a request of the following form:
https://<raster analysis tools url>/Watershed/jobs/<jobId>
When the status of the job request is esri
, you can access the results of the analysis by making a request of the following form:
https://<raster analysis tools url>/Watershed/jobs/<jobId>/results/outputRaster

JSON Response example
The response returns the output
output parameter, which has properties for parameter name, data type, and value. The content of value
is always the output raster dataset item
and the image service URL.
