Using Python API to retrieve last_build_time

Viet

I am trying to retrieve info about last_build_time_start (end) of a dataset using APIs. On the Docs, in class dataikuapi.dss.dataset.DSSDataset, there is a function named get_info to get object DSSDatasetInfo , but I could not call it.

Is it a bug or this class has been removed? If then, there are any other way to get these kind of information? There is a topic with a solution mentioning 'Internal Stats Dataset' but I don't know how to use that dataset.

Here is the information of the DSS I am using on my Chrome

Hi @Viet
,

I was able to retrieve last_build_time_start using below code:

import dataikuapi
host="http://localhost:11200"
apiKey = "*************"
project_key="*********"

def test_get_info(project_key):
    client = dataikuapi.DSSClient(host,apiKey)
    dataset = client.get_project(project_key).get_dataset("test")
    settings = dataset.get_settings()
    print(dataset)     
    print(dataset.get_info())
    print(dataset.get_info().get_raw())


test_get_info(project_key) 

The output of this code is:

 % python3.9 testdatasetDSS.py
<dataikuapi.dss.dataset.DSSDataset object at 0x10d022af0>

I checked Dataiku API release 10 code and this contains get_info() method.

Can you please share more code that shows how you obtained the DSSDataset object?

What version of Dataiku API client do you use? Please confirm the version by running the following command using your version of Python:

python3.9 -m pip list |grep dataiku-api-client

Hey @Viet
,

In addition to the solution provided by Catalina, you asked about the Internal Stats dataset.

This dataset is accessed through the Flow > + Dataset > Internal > Internal Stats. The info you're interested in is found in the "Objects state" view. See the screenshot below:

 

More information in the docs: https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/connecting/internal-stats.html

Hope that helps,

Emma

Hi Catalina,

Here is the codes.

I was unable to run the code

But I have tried and succeeded with get_last_metric_value().

Great! Thanks

Catalina

Hi @Viet

Thanks for the details! The reason why you are not able to retrieve information about dataset last build is because you are using DSS version 10.0.2 and get_info function was added in DSS version 10.0.6. Therefore you will need to upgrade DSS to a version higher than 10.0.6 in order to use this function.
