DataRobot API resources¶
DataRobot supports REST, Python, and R APIs as a programmatic alternative to the UI for creating and managing DataRobot projects. It allows you to automate processes and iterate more quickly, and lets you use DataRobot with scripted control. The API provides an intuitive modeling and prediction interface. You can use the API with DataRobot-supported clients in either R or Python, or with your own custom code. The clients are supported in Windows, UNIX, and OS X environments. Additionally, you can generate predictions with the prediction and batch prediction APIs, and build DataRobot blueprints in the blueprint workshop.
Review the sections of the API documentation below to find the best resources for your needs:
-
New users can review the API quickstart guide to configure their environments and get started with DataRobot's APIs.
-
The API user guide details examples of machine learning workflows and use cases that address common data science problems.
-
The API reference provides documentation on the DataRobot REST API, Python client, R client, blueprint workshop, Prediction API, and Batch Prediction API.
API quickstart¶
Review the API quickstart guide to configure your environment to use the API and try a sample problem with examples in Python, R, and cURL.
