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.

API user guide¶

Browse user guide topics to find complete examples of common data science and machine learning workflows. The API user guide includes overviews, Jupyter notebooks, and task-based tutorials.

Topic	Describes...
Modeling workflow overview	Learn how to use DataRobot's clients, both Python and R, to train and experiment with models.
Common use cases	Review Jupyter notebooks that outline common use cases and machine learning workflows using DataRobot's Python client.
Python code examples	Browse Python code examples for common data science workflows.
R code examples	Review R code examples that outline common data science workflows.

Python client	Installation, configuration, and reference documentation for working with the Python client library. Access the Python package. Read client documentation.
R client	R client: Installation, configuration, and reference documentation for working with the R client library. Access the R package Read R client documentation
Blueprint workshop	Construct and modify DataRobot blueprints and their tasks using a programmatic interface.
Prediction API	Generate predictions with a deployment by submitting JSON or CSV input data via a POST request.
Batch Prediction API	Score large datasets with flexible options for intake and output using the prediction servers you have deployed via the Batch Prediction API.
API changelogs	Reference the changes introduced to new versions of DataRobot's Python client, R client, and REST API.

AI accelerators¶

AI Accelerators are designed to help speed up model experimentation, development, and production using the DataRobot API. They codify and package data science expertise in building and delivering successful machine learning projects into repeatable, code-first workflows and modular building blocks. AI Accelerators are ready right out-of-the-box, work with the notebook of your choice, and can be combined to suit your needs.

Self-Managed AI Platform API resources¶

To access current and past Python and R clients and documentation, use the following links:

Python
- Current client from PyPi.
- Archived clients from PyPi.
- Documentation from ReadTheDocs; use the version selector in the bottom left of the page to see past versions.
R
- Current client and documentation from CRAN.
- Archived client and docs (docs are included in the client itself).

The table below outlines which versions of DataRobot's SDKs correspond to DataRobot's Self-Managed AI Platform versions.

Self-Managed AI Platform version	Python SDK version	R SDK version
v9.1	v3.2	v2.18.4 (GA) v2.31.2 (Public Preview)
v9.0	v3.1	v2.29 (Public Preview)
v8.0	v2.28	v2.18.2
v7.3	v2.27.3	v2.18.2
v7.2	v2.26.0	v2.18.2
v7.1	v2.25.1	v2.18.2
v7.0	v2.24.0	v2.18.2
v6.3	v2.23.0	v2.17.1
v6.2	v2.22.1	v2.17.1
v6.1	v2.21.5	v2.17.1
v6.0	v2.20.2	v2.17.1
v5.3	v2.19.0	v2.17.1
v5.2	v2.18.0	v2.17.1
v5.1	v2.17.0	v2.17.1
v5.0	v2.15.1	v2.15.0
v4.5	v2.14.2	v2.14.2
v4.4	v2.13.3	v2.13.1
v4.3	v2.11.2	v2.11.0
v4.2	v2.9.3	v2.9.0
v4.0	v2.8.3	v2.8.0
v3.1	v2.7.3	v2.7.1
v3.0	v2.6.2	v2.6.0
v2.9	v2.4.3	v2.4.0
v2.8	v2.0.37	v2.0.30

Note

Both the backend and clients use versioning in the format Major.Minor.Patch (e.g., v2.3.1), but there is no relationship between the patch version of the backend and the patch version of the clients. There is a requirement, however, that the backend version has a major.minor version equal to or greater than the client version. For example, a v2.2 client can "talk" to either a v2.2 backend or a v2.4 backend, but cannot be used with a v2.0 backend.
