How to increase the number of features returned by an ArcGIS Online feature service

Question

When uploading a feature layer to ArcGIS Online, and then accessing it via ArcGIS Online's REST API, there is a limit of 1000 features returned.

Is it possible to increase the limit and return more than 1000 features?

Answer 1

The workflow is outlined here at HowTo: Update the maximum record count for feature services in ArcGIS Online.

• Log in to www.arcgis.com with administrator credentials
• Click My Content, and navigate to the intended feature service
• Open the feature service. In the item details page of the feature service, click the hyperlink under 'Layers'. The ArcGIS REST Services Directory page opens
• Modify the URL by appending 'admin' to the end of the URL and deleting the rest of the URL to the service: http://services.arcgis.com/xxxx/ArcGIS/admin
• Click Enter to access the new page
• Click Services and find the intended service. Click the service name. The URL becomes: http://services.arcgis.com/xxxx/ArcGIS/admin/services/states.FeatureServer
• Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Update Definition
• Change the value of the 'lastEditDate' key to null.
• Search for the maxRecordCount parameter
• Change all the default values of 1000 to the number of desired features records to display
• Click Update Service Definition
• Go back to the 'My Content' page and open the feature service in a new web map. All features beyond 1000 are now included and displayed as desired.
