Code Examples

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.sutro.sh/list-datasets',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Key YOUR_SUTRO_API_KEY'
    }
)

result = response.json()
print(f"Found {len(result['datasets'])} datasets:")

for dataset in result['datasets']:
    print(f"Dataset ID: {dataset['dataset_id']}")
    print(f"Name: {dataset['name']}")
    print(f"Created: {dataset['created_at']}")
    print(f"Files: {dataset['file_count']}")
    print(f"Size: {dataset['total_size_bytes']} bytes")
    print("---")

​
Dataset Object Fields

Each dataset in the datasets array contains the following fields:
  • dataset_id: Unique identifier for the dataset
  • name: Human-readable name of the dataset
  • created_at: ISO timestamp of when the dataset was created
  • file_count: Number of files in the dataset
  • total_size_bytes: Total size of all files in the dataset (in bytes)
  • schema: Schema information including field names and types

​
Notes

  • Datasets are returned in reverse chronological order (newest first)
  • The response includes metadata about each dataset to help with dataset management
  • Use the dataset_id from this response with other dataset-related endpoints
