Notebook definition

This article provides a breakdown of the definition structure for notebook items.

Supported formats

Notebook items support the ipynb format.

Definition parts

The definition of a notebook item is made out of a single part, and is constructed as follows:

• Path - The file name, for example artifact.content.ipynb.

• Payload type - InlineBase64

• Payload See: Example of payload content decoded from Base64.

Platfrom part

The platform part is a file that contains the notebook metadata information.

• Create Item with definition respects the platform file if provided. Pronot mandatory)

• Get Item definition always returns the platform file.

• Update Item definition accepts the platform file if provided, but only if you set a new URL parameter updateMetadata=true.
