Introduction

Welcome to Algorithmia's API documentation. Here you will find examples of how to manage algorithms, data, and admin resources using Algorithmia's REST API and Python client library.

If this is your first time trying Algorithmia, you might find it useful to start with our Getting Started guide, which can be found alongside many other resources in the Algorithmia Developer Center.

Base URL

import Algorithmia

# When passing a custom API endpoint to our Python client, you 
# may omit the `v1` path prefix, as it will be supplied automatically.
client = Algorithmia.client('API_KEY', 'https://api.example.com')

By default, we provide examples using the https://api.algorithmia.com/v1 base URL, but if you are using an enterprise version of Algorithmia hosted under a different domain, you should ensure you modify any code samples as necessary.

Per our versioning scheme, ensure that you supply the appropriate version prefix in addition to the REST API endpoint you wish to use. Thus, if your Algorithmia instance was hosted at example.com, your base URL would be https://api.example.com/v1. If using a client library, ensure you properly pass your custom endpoint as a parameter when initializing the client.

Authentication

curl https://api.algorithmia.com/v1/scms
  -H 'Authorization: Simple API_KEY'

import Algorithmia

client = Algorithmia.client('API_KEY')

If you are interacting directly with Algorithmia's REST API, provide your API key via an Authorization header with the prefix Simple. If you are using one of our client libraries, follow the instructions specific to that client library. This holds true for both standard and admin API keys. Learn more about API keys in our devcenter.

Ensure that you enable algorithm management capabilities for your API key if you wish to create, edit, or delete algorithms.

Pagination

{
    "marker": "eyJvcmdOYW1lIjoiQnVnQmFzaE9yZzEifQ",
    "next_link": "http://api.algorithmia.com/v1/organizations?limit=50&marker=eyJvcmdOYW1lIjoiQnVnQmFzaE9yZzEifQ",
    "results": [
      // ...
    ]
}

If you are querying a collection of objects, and there are more results available than can be displayed in a single response, you may paginate results with markers.

A collection response will contain two properties that allow you to fetch additional pages of results: marker and next_link. marker can be supplied as a query parameter to a subsequent request, informing the API that you wish to obtain the next page of results for your prior query. Conveniently, the next_link property contains the preconstructed URL for you to make just such a query.

If there are no additional results for a particular collection query, both the marker and next_link properties will be null.

Versioning

The latest version of the Algorithmia API is v1, and endpoints supported in this version fall under the /v1 path prefix.

Algorithmia will update this path prefix in the future should we release a new version of the Algorithmia API.

Client Libraries

Algorithmia offers client libraries in several languages. While nearly all client libraries offer the ability to invoke algorithms and manage data connectors, we recommend using our Python client library as it exposes additional functionality for managing algorithms.

POST /algo/:username/:algoname/[:version]

Path Parameters

Parameter Type Description
username String Required. The username of the user or organization that owns the algorithm.
algoname String Required. The name of the algorithm you wish to invoke.
version String The specific version of the algorithm you wish to invoke. The following are valid values for this parameter:

- latestPrivate: Resolves to the latest version you have published privately.
-<Git SHA>: Resolves to the built version of your algorithm for a specific Git SHA. Useful for testing an unpublished algorithm build.
- 1.1.1: Fully specified semantic version.
- 1.2.*: Specified to the minor level. Will resolve to the latest publicly published version with a minor version of 1.2
- 1.*: Specified to a major version. Will resolve to the latest publicly published version with major version 1.

Defaults to latest publicly published version of your algorithm.

Query Parameters

Parameter Type Description
output String Determines how the algorithm's response is handled. Choose from raw (response is returned without a JSON wrapper) or void (algorithm call is made asynchronously and no output is returned).
stdout Boolean Whether the stdout of the algorithm should be returned in the response. Only available to the owner of the algorithm (or, if the algorithm is owned by an organization, the organization's members). Defaults to false.
timeout Number Duration, in seconds, that should pass before the invocation should timeout. Defaults to 300 (5 minutes). Maximum value is 3000 (50 minutes).

Payload Parameters

Both binary data and text may be passed as algorithm input data. To ensure your algorithm is passed the input data correctly, supply one of the following values for the Content-Type header when calling your algorithm (client libraries handle this automatically):

Content-Type Description

application/text body specifies text input data (UTF-8 encoded)
application/octet-stream body specifies binary input data (raw bytes)

Returns

error.message String A human-readable message describing the error encountered while running the algorithm, if any.
error.stacktrace String The stacktrace of the error encountered while running the algorithm, if any. Only returned if the caller has access to the algorithm's source code.

metadata.stdout String The data piped to the algorithms stdout stream during execution. Only provided if the stdout query parameter was set to true and the caller is the algorithm's owner.
request_id String The unique ID for the invocation request.

Data

Connectors

Connectors offer you a convenient API by which to access data stored across multiple storage providers, from Algorithmia's built-in data store to Amazon S3. You can learn more about the connectors Algorithmia supports in our documentation. The various connector types are identified as follows:

With the exception of data, connectors may also be identified by a label, or no label if a specific connector is the default for its connector type. These options can be configured for a given connector in your data portal.

For example, if you create an S3 data connector with the label test, you would identify it to the API as s3+test. However, if a specific connector is the default for its type, you can omit the label and simply use the connector's type instead. Thus, your default S3 connector would be identified to the API as simply s3.

Data URIs

# Identifies a file housed by Algorithmia's internal storage provider (data://),
# which belongs to the user "demo" within their "example" collection.
data://demo/example/test.png

# Identifies a file housed in S3 (connected to via an S3 connector labeled "test"),
# which resides in the "my_bucket" bucket and "example" directory.
s3+test://my_bucket/example/test.png

# Identifies a file housed in a user's default Azure Blob data connector,
# which resides under the "example" directory within the relevant blob container.
azureblob://example/test.png

Algorithmia supports a data URI notation for identifying files and directories across connectors. To construct a data URI, take the unique identifer of a given connector (such as data, azureblob, or s3+test) and supply that as the URI's protocol. Then append the path to the file or directory you wish to act on. See examples to the right.

Algorithmia will return data URIs to you identifying new files or directories you may create, and you can use these in any of our client libraries (including our Python client library) to act on those resources.

Paths are contextual to the data connector you are interacting with. For example, paths for the data connector must begin first with the username of user who owns the collection you wish to interact with (or .my to refer to the calling user), then the collection name, then the file (data does not support directories within collections). However, when interacting with an s3 connector, you must supply the name of the bucket as the first component of the data. Ensure you carefully read the documentation for the connector you are working with.

The file object

{
  "filename": "example.txt",
  "last_modified": "2020-03-18T17:00:33.000Z",
  "size": 20002

last_modified String The ISO 8601 datetime at which the file was last modified.
