Introduction

Overview

The Rescale REST API provides a programmatic interface for interacting with Rescale’s multi-cloud platform. Rescale’s platform helps you solve the most challenging engineering and scientific problems with unprecedented speed by abstracting away infrastructure, applications, and middleware.

What is a REST API?

An API is an application programming interface - in short, it’s a set of rules that lets programs talk to each other, exposing data and functionality across the internet in a consistent format.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer. This is an architectural pattern that describes how distributed systems can expose a consistent interface. When people use the term ‘REST API,’ they are generally referring to an API accessed via HTTP protocol at a predefined set of URLs.

These URLs represent various resources - any information or content accessed at that location, which can be returned as JSON, HTML, audio files, or images. Often, resources have one or more methods that can be performed on them over HTTP, like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE.

What can I use the Rescale API for?

Instructions

Endpoint Formatting

Versioning

Currently only v2 of the following outlined endpoints are officially supported and maintained. Requests that do not include a version identifier will use v1 of the API by default and may be deprecated without notice.

Authentication

The Rescale API uses authentication tokens to authentication each request. The API requires all requests to be authenticated by passing an https header of the form:

Authorization: Token <api-token>

If you don’t have an api key, you can generate one here.

curl -H "Authorization: Token <api-token>" https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/
import requests

requests.get(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/',
  headers={'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

Pagination

curl -H "Authorization: Token <api-token>" "https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/?page_size=2&page=4"
import requests

requests.get(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/',
  params={'page_size': 2, 'page': 4},
  headers={'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)
{
  "count":123,
  "prev":null,
  "results": [

  ],
  "next":"https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/?page_size=2&page=5"
}

All API requests for lists of objects will return paginated results. The page and page_size query parameters can be used to control pagination.

page_size indicates the maximum number of results to return for a page. The page value starts at 1.

User API

Resources

The Rescale API provides several top-level endpoints that provide information about options available in the system as a whole.

This endpoint retrieves all the jobs visible to the authenticated user (you), whether they are owned by that user or shared with that user.

Query Parameters

Following query parameters are accepted by this endpoint, which will filter out the user’s jobs.

Query Parameter Type Accepted Values Description
job_status String The job status of interest. Must be one of PENDING, QUEUED, STARTED, VALIDATED, EXECUTING, COMPLETED, STOPPING, WAITING_FOR_CLUSTER, FORCE_STOP, WAITING_FOR_QUEUE. Filter out the jobs based on the exact status.
state String completed, not_completed Filters out the jobs based on complete and other non-complete status.
q String Text search, which can contain some structured elements (see below)

For the q parameter, plain text and “quote terms” are matched inside the job’s name or the name of analyses used with the job.

Additionally, there are some other job facets that can be matched:

Facet Matches
#tagname Jobs that are tagged with “tagname”, and jobs that have associated files with “tagname”
owner:user@example.com Jobs with a given owner, useful for shared jobs
comment:"some text" Jobs with comments matching “some text”
project:myproject Jobs assigned to myproject
software:FooWare Jobs that use the “FooWare” analysis
version:1.2.3 Jobs that use version 1.2.3 of an analysis

All of these facets can be combined with logical and, or and not operators (case-insensitive) and parentheses to structure specific conditions, e.g.:

#hastag and (not owner:user@example.com or project:myproject)

Response Properties

Delete a Job

DELETE https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/{job_id}/

Note that jobs that are currently executing cannot be deleted. You will need to stop the job first.

curl -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/gVWWdb/ -X DELETE
import requests

requests.delete(
    'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/gVWWdb/',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

Allowed request body fields:

Field Type Default Required Description
deleteInputFiles Boolean false No If set to true, the input files associated with the job will be deleted as well.

A 204 response code is returned upon a successful delete. No data returned.

Delete Multiple Jobs

DELETE https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/

You can delete multiple jobs at once by passing a list of job ids to the body of the HTTP request.

Note that jobs that are currently executing cannot be deleted. You will need to stop the job first.

curl -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/ -X DELETE
import requests

requests.delete(
    'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

Allowed request body fields:

Field Type Default Required Description
jobIds Array None Yes List of job ids to delete.
deleteInputFiles Boolean false No If set to true, the input files associated with the job ids will be deleted as well.

Stop a Job

POST https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/{job_id}/stop/

Submits a request to stop a running job. Poll the job/cluster status endpoints to monitor the exact time when the job is stopped.

curl -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/SsdkT/stop/ -X POST
import requests
requests.post(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/SsdkT/stop/',
  headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json',
           'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

A 202 response code is returned if the stop request was successfully submitted. No data returned.

The above stop request will do several things:

  1. Send a graceful termination to the application the job is running and wait some time before killing the application
  2. Save all job output files to Rescale Files If you are interested in skipping parts of this lifecycle on shutdown, there are a number of more forceful termination requests:

POST https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/{job_id}/force_stop/

This will SIGTERM the application and skip graceful application shutdown, job output files will STILL be saved.

If you also want to skip output file saving as well and immediately terminate the job:

POST https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/{job_id}/shutdown/

If you use this last method, all job output data will be lost and unrecoverable. Use with caution.

Share a Job

POST https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/{job_id}/share/

Share a job with another user. If your user is associated with an organization, you will only be allowed to share your job with another user in your organization or an ISV support desk.

curl -H "Authorization: Token <api-token>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/LeeKa/share/" -X POST -d '

If the field’s definition specifies isMultiple, the value must be submitted as an array, even if it contains one or zero items. Each individual item is formatted according to the valueType:

valueType Format
text "any string", quoted in JSON
number e.g., 42, 4.2, or with scientific/engineering notation 4.2e-10. Do not quote numbers in JSON.
select A string listed in enumOptions, or, if allowOther, any string. (If both allowOther and isMultiple, only one value in the array may be a custom string that does not appear in enumOptions)
date Dates are normalized as YYYY/MM/DD. You may submit them in this format, or use any well-known date or datetime format, though note that any time portion will be truncated.
user It is recommended but not required to use an email address for this field.
file The string identifier for a Rescale file, for which the submitting user must have at least read access.

Stops an in-progress run. The workflow processes will be killed and any available output files will be uploaded to Rescale Cloud Storage.

Take a Snapshot

Taking a snapshot is a multi-step process. To do so, you’ll need to make the following API calls:

  1. GET https://platform.rescale.com/api/v3/jobs/{job_id}/clusters/?is_started=false

  2. POST https://platform.rescale.com/api/v3/clusters/{cluster_id}/tasks/

  3. GET https://platform.rescale.com/api/v3/clusters/{cluster_id}/tasks/{task_id}

  4. GET https://platform.rescale.com/api/v3/clusters/{cluster_id}/tasks/{task_id}/results

To download the file: 5. GET https://platform.rescale.com/api/v3/files/{file_id}/contents/

Snapshots only apply to runs that are currently in-progress. A snapshot is an archive of all files that currently exist in the working directory. After the archive is created, it is uploaded to Rescale Cloud Storage and is made available as a run output file.

This call allows you to fetch the metadata regarding all the files associated with run-id. You can then use the file-id to download each individual file.

Another, endpoint that is helpful in fetching files is, /api/jobs/< job-id >/files/ which will return all the files related to a particular job, including the output of all the runs.

Note: Output files are available only after a run has completed. If you want to retrieve a list of files for a run that is currently in progress, you should use the /api/jobs/< job-id >/runs/< run-id >/directory-contents/ endpoint.

Property Type Description
fileType String The file type as determined by the *NIX file command.
lines Array<String> An array containing the last N lines of the requested file where N is the value of the lines querystring argument.

This method can be used to retrieve the last N lines within a file or to stream back the entire file to the caller.

The path argument of the url corresponds to the path property returned in the List Output Files endpoint.

Note: This endpoint only applies to runs that are currently in-progress. After a run has completed, the /api/files/< file-id >/contents/ endpoint can be used to download the output file.

Files

All file related operations are listed here.

NOTE: While you can upload and download files direcly using the endpoints described below, we highly recommend the use of Rescale CLI instead as it provides a more efficient and reliable way to transfer data from and to Rescale’s Platform.

Response Properties

Same as Get Metadata of a File

Delete a File

DELETE https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/files/{file_id}/

curl -X DELETE -H 'Authorization: Token \<token\>'

This call allows you to delete a file from Rescale.

Response

The response body has no content if the delete is successful.

Download a File

GET https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/files/{file_id}/contents/

NOTE: While you can download files direcly using this endpoint, we highly recommend the use of Rescale CLI instead as it provides a more efficient and reliable way to download files.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Token \<token\>'
-o 'download_file.txt' https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/files/{file_id}/contents/
import requests

response = requests.get(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/files/{file_id}/',
  headers={'Authorization': 'Token \<token\>'}
)

with open('file_to_download', 'wb') as fd:
    for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size):
        fd.write(chunk)

Download a file from Rescale.

Standard HTTP (i.e. RFC7233-compliant) Range requests are supported. A subtlety to note here is that the standard does not stipulate that all GET requests will accept a Range request, but instead just that a HEAD request would indicate whether a GET would accept a Range request. Rescale allows itself the flexibility to choose (potentially dynamically) which specific files it would allow a Range request for and which not.

Response

The response body contains the file contents.

Once the file is uploaded, the server should return a JSON blob which contains amongst other things, the id of the File you just uploaded. This field is going to come in handy when referring to this particular file in all the other calls to the API.

A Rescale job is composed of one or more analyses (software packages). A GET call to the analysis endpoint lists out all the analyses available on the platform. A single analysis may have multiple versions. You can use the code and versionCode returned here to select the analysis while creating a Job. Additionally the meta data returned by this call is instructive for expected values in the “command” string for a given analysis. In this example we’ll use OpenFOAM.

A Rescale Job is composed of one or more software packages which we refer to as analyses. Thus the properties can be either at the Job level (i.e Global) or on a JobAnalysis level. See the job endpoint for information on the fields available.

Submitting your job

curl -X POST -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>' \
https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/QTVia/submit/
import requests

requests.post(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/QTVia/submit/',
  headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json',
           'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

If the job creation was successful, server should respond back with the full schema of the job as stored on the backend. Contained within the JSON response is the job id. We will use this id to submit, monitor and get the results from the job.

Monitoring your job

curl -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>'  https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/QTVia/statuses/
import requests

requests.get(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/QTVia/statuses/',
  headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json',
           'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

HTTP 200 OK

    }
  ],

}

A GET call to this endpoint returns all the statuses associated with the specified job in order of their recency.

Getting results

curl -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>'  https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/QTVia/runs/
import requests

requests.get(
  'https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/jobs/QTVia/runs/',
  headers={'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}
)

HTTP 200 OK

{
  "count": 1,
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "dateCompleted": null,
      "parent": null,
      "variables": [],
      "outputFileSize": null,
      "outputFileCount": 0,

    }
  ],
  "next": null
}

A single execution of your workflow is called a run in Rescale parlance. When a job is in either “Completed” or “Executing” state, you can query the job runs endpoint for a list of finished runs.

This is a basic job and therefore has 1 run. DOE jobs would have multiple runs, which could be queried individually by sending a request to the run endpoint with the run id in the path.

File download

curl -H 'Authorization: Token <api-token>' \
https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/files/iudjqe/contents/ > process_output.log
import requests
from contextlib import closing

url='https://platform.rescale.com/api/v2/files/iudjqe/contents/'
headers={'Authorization': 'Token <api-token>'}

with closing(requests.get(url, headers=headers, stream=True)) as r:
  with open('process_output.log', 'rw') as f:
    for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=100):
      f.write(chunk)

We can list all the output files for the job by sending a request to the output files endpoint. With those ids, we can download files by issuing a GET call to the file download endpoint.
