Attributes
Text
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'.

2
    local_path, name=None, is_tmp=(False)
3
)
Copied!
Adds a local file to the artifact.
Arguments
Text
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)

add_reference
​View source​
1
add_reference(
2
    uri, name=None, checksum=(True), max_objects=None
3
)
Copied!
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
Text
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
Text
Exception
If problem.
Returns
Text
List[ArtifactManifestEntry]: The added manifest entries.
​
Examples:
Adding an HTTP link:
1
# Adds `file.txt` to the root of the artifact as a reference
2
artifact.add_reference('http://myserver.com/file.txt')
Copied!
Adding an S3 prefix without an explicit name:
1
# All objects under `prefix/` will be added at the root of the artifact.
2
artifact.add_reference('s3://mybucket/prefix')
Copied!
Adding a GCS prefix with an explicit name:
1
# All objects under `prefix/` will be added under `path/` at the top of the artifact.
