Python client v3.0¶

Now generally available, DataRobot has released version 3.0 of the Python client. This version introduces significant changes to common methods and usage of the client. Many prominent changes are listed below, but view the changelog for a complete list of changes introduced in version 3.0.

New features¶

A summary of some new features for version 3.0 are outlined below:

• The default Autopilot mode for the project.start_autopilot method has changed to AUTOPILOT_MODE.QUICK.
• Pass a file, file path, or DataFrame to a deployment to easily make batch predictions and return the results as a DataFrame using the new method Deployment.predict_batch.
• You can use a new method to retrieve the canonical URI for a project, model, deployment, or dataset:
  • Project.get_uri
  • Model.get_uri
  • Deployment.get_uri
  • Dataset.get_uri

New methods for DataRobot projects¶

Review the new methods available for datarobot.models.Project:

• Project.get_options allows you to retrieve saved modeling options.
• Project.set_options saves AdvancedOptions values for use in modeling.
• Project.analyze_and_model initiates Autopilot or data analysis using data that has been uploaded to DataRobot.
• Project.get_dataset retrieves the dataset used to create the project.
• Project.set_partitioning_method creates the correct Partition class for a regular project, based on input arguments.
• Project.set_datetime_partitioning creates the correct Partition class for a time series project.
• Project.get_top_model returns the highest scoring model for a metric of your choice.
