An overview of the Spatial Analyst functions

The Spatial Analyst module (arcpy.sa) supports many functions in ArcPy for processing and creating rasters or raster objects. They are organized into related groupings in the following categories: Analysis, Appearance, Band Indices, Classification, Conversion, Correction, Data Management, Math, Reclass, Statistical, and Surface.

Some functions available with the arcpy.sa module require a Spatial Analyst or an Image Analyst license. Where applicable, the extension license requirements for each function are listed in the table below. All other functions can be used with an ArcGIS Pro Basic license.

If the function requires a license and you are working with a Concurrent Use license, you can use the CheckOutExtension function to access the functionality.

The geoprocessing tools available in the Spatial Analyst toolbox are also available as geoprocessing functions in the arcpy.sa module.
