How to save Jupyter notebook via API?

#1

Good day!

Is it possible to achieve “File” -> “Save and Checkpoint” programmatically?

I know there is JS command, but it has no callback and so I can’t be sure that file is actually saved.

I also found “Save file” section in Jupyter APIs:

Tried without success:

import requests
response = requests.request(
method=‘PUT’,
url=‘http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/contents/my-notebook.ipynb’,
headers={‘Authorization’: ‘token 6ec2282d28e6e755629e9007787299a929a0154e54c59df7’},
)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

Don’t you know is it possible to achieve this?

This is helpful.

Maybe some error in your put data. put data is content which will be used in ContentManager.

This is the JS code in jupyternotebook:

    Contents.prototype.save = function(path, model) {
        /**
         * We do the call with settings so we can set cache to false.
         */
        var settings = {
            processData : false,
            type : "PUT",
            dataType: "json",
            data : JSON.stringify(model),
            contentType: 'application/json',
        };
        var url = this.api_url(path);
        return utils.promising_ajax(url, settings);
    };

The problem is that you need put data in your request.The API will use ContentsManager.save(model, path) to save file. Your need know how to decode an .ipynb to a model, then change something in it, at last put your model to Save API to save .ipynb file.
