Python API¶

The dtool command line tool is built using the Python API in dtoolcore. This API can also be used to create and interact with datasets directly.

Below is an example showing how to load a dataset from a URI and use it to print out a list of all the data item identifiers in the dataset.

>>> from dtoolcore import DataSet
>>> dataset = DataSet.from_uri("bgi-sequencing-12345")
>>> for i in dataset.identifiers:
...     print(i)
...
