is there any way to create managed folder by using the python recipe?

[manhnam91]

I know we can use a managed folder in the python recipe by using python API, but I don't know how to create a new managed folder by python.  in my case, I'm using Azure block storage as the connection for my managed folders, and I need to automatically create new managed folders when running the flow, for some business use-cases. Is there any way I can do this? many thanks

Hello,

Yes, you can use the Python API to create a managed folder. From inside a Python recipe, you can do something like the following:

api_client = dataiku.api_client()
project = api_client.get_project("project key")
new_folder = project.create_managed_folder("managed folder name")

new_folder will be a handle to your newly created managed folder.

See here for more information about the create_managed_folder method: https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/python-api/projects.html#dataikuapi.dss.project.DSSProject.create...
