Import a Notebook

POST /api/v1.2/notebooks/import

Use this API to import a Spark notebook from a location and add it to the notebooks list in the QDS account. As a prerequisite, you must ensure that the object in a cloud storage or Github is public.

Required Role

The following users can make this API call:

Users who belong to the system-user or system-admin group.
Users who belong to a group associated with a role that allows submitting a command. See Managing Groups and Managing Roles for more information.

Parameters

Note

Parameters marked in bold below are mandatory. Others are optional and have default values. Presto is not currently supported on all Cloud platforms; see QDS Components: Supported Versions and Cloud Platforms.

Parameter	Description
name	It is the name of the notebook. It is a string and can accept alpha-numerical characters.
location	It is the location of the folder. By default, it goes to Users/current_user_email_id folders. For more information on notebook folders, see Using Folders in Notebooks. The accepted folder locations are: Users/current_user_email_id, Common, and Users. The default location is Users/current_user_email_id and it is equivalent to My Home on the Notebooks UI. You need privileges to create/edit notebooks in Common and Users. For more information, see Managing Folder-level Permissions.
note_type	It is the type of notebook. The values are `spark` and `presto`.
file	It is a parameter that you can only specify to import a notebook from a location on the local hard disk. For adding the complete location path, you must start it with `@/`. For example, `"file":"@/home/spark...`.
nbaddmode	It must only be used with the file parameter. Its value is `import-from-computer`.
url	It is the AWS S3 or Github location, a valid JSON URL, or an ipynb URL of the notebook that you want to import.
cluster_id	It is the ID of the cluster to which the notebook is assigned. If you specify this parameter, then the notebook is imported with the attached cluster.
