How to close an API connection and start a new one?

bcraigie

Using the python API:

import dataikuapi

client = dataikuapi.DSSClient(https://"some_host"….)

…. process some things

client = dataikuapi.DSSClient(https://"some_other_host"….)

…. process some things

How can I close the connection so I can move on to another host? I was looking for client.close() or something similar. I tried just making a new client like above, but I got a screed of errors on the second client. I'm sure it's simple, but I can't find it in the documents. Thanks for any help. We're on DSS14.1.0 if that is relevant.

Operating system used: Windows 11

Lol. Well, actually I had an extraneous bit in the URL of the second host. Once I fixed that, I was able to make it work like the logic above without needing to close anything. It just works. :-)

We you are using the dataikuapi each DSSClient object is independent. So just make sure you using a different client object and you will be fine:

client = dataikuapi.DSSClient(https://"some_host"….)
another_client = dataikuapi.DSSClient(https://"some_other_host"….)

With the internal dataiku package you need to use:

dataiku.clear_remote_dss()
