A wandb Artifact.

Artifact(
    client, entity, project, name, attrs=None
)

An artifact that has been logged, including all its attributes, links to the runs that use it, and a link to the run that logged it.

Examples:

Basic usage

api = wandb.Api()
artifact = api.artifact('project/artifact:alias')

# Get information about the artifact...
artifact.digest
artifact.aliases

Updating an artifact

artifact = api.artifact('project/artifact:alias')

# Update the description
artifact.description = 'My new description'

# Selectively update metadata keys
artifact.metadata["oldKey"] = "new value"

# Replace the metadata entirely
artifact.metadata = {"newKey": "new value"}

# Add an alias
artifact.aliases.append('best')

# Remove an alias
artifact.aliases.remove('latest')

# Completely replace the aliases
artifact.aliases = ['replaced']

# Persist all artifact modifications
artifact.save()

Artifact graph traversal

artifact = api.artifact('project/artifact:alias')

# Walk up and down the graph from an artifact:
producer_run = artifact.logged_by()
consumer_runs = artifact.used_by()

# Walk up and down the graph from a run:
logged_artifacts = run.logged_artifacts()
used_artifacts = run.used_artifacts()

Deleting an artifact

artifact = api.artifact('project/artifact:alias')
artifact.delete()

Attributes
aliases	The aliases associated with this artifact.
commit_hash	Returns: (str): The artifact's commit hash which is used in http URLs
created_at	Returns: (datetime): The time at which the artifact was created.
description	Returns: (str): Free text that offers a description of the artifact. The description is markdown rendered in the UI, so this is a good place to put links, etc.
digest	Returns: (str): The artifact's logical digest, a checksum of its contents. If an artifact has the same digest as the current latest version, then log_artifact is a no-op.
entity	Returns: (str): The name of the entity this artifact belongs to.
id	Returns: (str): The artifact's ID
manifest	Returns: (ArtifactManifest): The artifact's manifest, listing all of its contents. You cannot add more files to an artifact once you've retrieved its manifest.
metadata	Returns: (dict): Structured data associated with the artifact, for example class distribution of a dataset. This will eventually be queryable and plottable in the UI. There is a hard limit of 100 total keys.
name	Returns: (str): The artifact's name
project	Returns: (str): The name of the project this artifact belongs to.
size	Returns: (int): The size in bytes of the artifact. Includes any references tracked by this artifact.
state	Returns: (str): The state of the artifact, which can be one of "PENDING", "COMMITTED", or "DELETED".
type	Returns: (str): The artifact's type
updated_at	Returns: (datetime): The time at which the artifact was last updated.
version	Returns: (int): The version of this artifact. For example, if this is the first version of an artifact, its version will be 'v0'.

Methods

add

View source

add(
    obj, name
)

Adds wandb.WBValue obj to the artifact.

obj = artifact.get(name)

Arguments
obj	(wandb.WBValue) The object to add. Currently support one of Bokeh, JoinedTable, PartitionedTable, Table, Classes, ImageMask, BoundingBoxes2D, Audio, Image, Video, Html, Object3D
name	(str) The path within the artifact to add the object.

Returns
ArtifactManifestEntry	the added manifest entry

Examples:

Basic usage

artifact = wandb.Artifact('my_table', 'dataset')
table = wandb.Table(columns=["a", "b", "c"], data=[[i, i*2, 2**i]])
artifact.add(table, "my_table")

wandb.log_artifact(artifact)

Retrieving an object:

artifact = wandb.use_artifact('my_table:latest')
table = artifact.get("my_table")

add_dir

View source

add_dir(
    path, name=None
)

Adds a local directory to the artifact.

Arguments
local_path	(str) The path to the directory being added.
name	(str, optional) The path within the artifact to use for the directory being added. Defaults to files being added under the root of the artifact.

Examples:

Adding a directory without an explicit name:

artifact.add_dir('my_dir/') # All files in `my_dir/` are added at the root of the artifact.

Adding a directory without an explicit name:

artifact.add_dir('my_dir/', path='destination') # All files in `my_dir/` are added under `destination/`.

Raises
Exception	if problem.

Returns
None

add_file

View source

add_file(
    local_path, name=None, is_tmp=(False)
)

Adds a local file to the artifact.

Arguments
local_path	(str) The path to the file being added.
name	(str, optional) The path within the artifact to use for the file being added. Defaults to the basename of the file.
is_tmp	(bool, optional) If true, then the file is renamed deterministically to avoid collisions. (default: False)

Examples:

Adding a file without an explicit name:

artifact.add_file('path/to/file.txt') # Added as `file.txt'

Adding a file with an explicit name:

artifact.add_file('path/to/file.txt', name='new/path/file.txt') # Added as 'new/path/file.txt'

Raises
Exception	if problem

Returns
ArtifactManifestEntry	the added manifest entry

add_reference

View source

add_reference(
    uri, name=None, checksum=(True), max_objects=None
)

Adds a reference denoted by a URI to the artifact. Unlike adding files or directories, references are NOT uploaded to W&B. However, artifact methods such as download() can be used regardless of whether the artifact contains references or uploaded files.

By default, W&B offers special handling for the following schemes:

• http(s): The size and digest of the file will be inferred by the Content-Length and

  the ETag response headers returned by the server.

• s3: The checksum and size will be pulled from the object metadata. If bucket versioning

  is enabled, then the version ID is also tracked.

• gs: The checksum and size will be pulled from the object metadata. If bucket versioning

  is enabled, then the version ID is also tracked.

• file: The checksum and size will be pulled from the file system. This scheme is useful if

  you have an NFS share or other externally mounted volume containing files you wish to track

  but not necessarily upload.

For any other scheme, the digest is just a hash of the URI and the size is left blank.

Arguments
uri	(str) The URI path of the reference to add. Can be an object returned from Artifact.get_path to store a reference to another artifact's entry.
name	(str) The path within the artifact to place the contents of this reference
checksum	(bool, optional) Whether or not to checksum the resource(s) located at the reference URI. Checksumming is strongly recommended as it enables automatic integrity validation, however it can be disabled to speed up artifact creation. (default: True)
max_objects	(int, optional) The maximum number of objects to consider when adding a reference that points to directory or bucket store prefix. For S3 and GCS, this limit is 10,000 by default but is uncapped for other URI schemes. (default: None)

Raises
Exception	If problem.

Returns
List[ArtifactManifestEntry]: The added manifest entries.

Examples:

Adding an HTTP link:

# Adds `file.txt` to the root of the artifact as a reference
artifact.add_reference('http://myserver.com/file.txt')

Adding an S3 prefix without an explicit name:

# All objects under `prefix/` will be added at the root of the artifact.
artifact.add_reference('s3://mybucket/prefix')

Adding a GCS prefix with an explicit name:

# All objects under `prefix/` will be added under `path/` at the top of the artifact.
artifact.add_reference('gs://mybucket/prefix', name='path')
