KML To Geodatabase (Conversion Tools)

Summary

Converts a .kml or .kmz file to the appropriate point, polyline, or polygon outputs.

This tool will automatically detect the feature types in the KML and create the appropriate output feature classes based on feature type. The tool can also output to shapefile, memory workspaces, and any geodatabase format.
When the tool add the outputs to the map, the output will maintain the symbology of the input .kml or .kmz file.
This tool supports importing KML attributes in Extended Data node to feature class attributes fields.
This tool uses a different KML conversion parser than the KML To Layer tool. The output of these tools can be different. Additionally, the KML To Layer tool doesn't support ground overlay rasters and nested network links.

KMLToGeodatabase example 1 (Python window)

Converts a .kmz file to a point feature class in the Python window.

import arcpy
arcpy.conversion.KMLToGeodatabase(
    in_kml=r'C:\kmls\KMZ_point.kmz',
    out_points=r'C:data\gisdata.gdb\fromkmls'
)

KMLToGeodatabase example 2 (Python window)

Converts a .kmz file to a point memory feature class in the Python window.

import arcpy
arcpy.conversion.KMLToGeodatabase(
    in_kml=r'C:\kmls\KMZ_point.kmz',
    out_points="memory\pointkml"
)
