Live Management
List Live Algorithms
Request
Request body to obtain a list of live running algorithms. The /live/list API accepts requests in the following format:
ListLiveAlgorithmsRequest Model - Request for a list of past and present live deployments. | |
|---|---|
| projectId | integer Id of the project to include in response. If you omit this property, the response includes all your projects. |
| latest | boolean If true, the response includes only the most recent deployment of each project and ignores the status filter. It skips projects whose most recent deployment stopped more than one month ago. The default value is false. |
| status | string Enum Status of the live deployments to include in the response. If you omit this property, the response includes deployments with any status. Options : ['Running', 'Stopped', 'RuntimeError', 'Liquidated'] |
| Example |
{
"projectId": 23456789,
"latest": true,
"status": "Running"
}
|
Responses
The /live/list API provides a response in the following format:
200 Success
LiveAlgorithmListResponse Model - List of the live algorithms running which match the requested status. | |
|---|---|
