Recipe and Dataset renaming

Meirkhan

Hello Dataikers,

I want to change recipe and datasets names through python API.

So far, I failed to find such info in API docs.

Is it possible to do so?

Hi,

This is not currently possible via the public APIs. You can rename recipes and datasets in UI which will use an internal API to perform the renaming.

We do advise against renaming datasets where possible due to unintended consequences see : https://community.dataiku.com/t5/General-Discussion/Changing-names-of-datasets-somewhere-in-the-middle-of-a-flow/m-p/15204

You can set a name for the recipe or dataset via the API at creation:

FYI, as of version 11.2, dataset renaming is now a safe, supported action: https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/release_notes/11.html#rename-datasets
