Track a notebook or script

Call track() to register your notebook or script as a transform and start capturing inputs & outputs of a run.

import lamindb as ln

ln.track()  # initiate a tracked notebook/script run

# your code automatically tracks inputs & outputs

ln.finish()  # mark run as finished, save execution report, source code & environment

Here is how a notebook with run report looks on the hub.

Explore it here.

Assign a uid to a notebook or script as you would for an ELN.

If you want to retain one version history when renaming notebooks and scripts, pass a uid to ln.track(), e.g.

ln.track("9priar0hoE5u0000")

To obtain a uid value, copy it from the logging statement (Transform('9priar0hoE5u0000')) when running ln.track() a first time without passing a uid.

You find your notebooks and scripts in the Transform registry (along with pipelines & functions). Run stores executions. You can use all usual ways of querying to obtain one or multiple transform records, e.g.:

transform = ln.Transform.get(key="my_analyses/my_notebook.ipynb")
transform.source_code  # source code
transform.runs  # all runs
transform.latest_run.report  # report of latest run
transform.latest_run.environment  # environment of latest run

To load a notebook or script from the hub, search or filter the transform page and use the CLI.

lamin load https://lamin.ai/laminlabs/lamindata/transform/13VINnFk89PE

Track projects

You can link the entities created during a run to a project.

import lamindb as ln

my_project = ln.Project(name="My project").save()  # create a project

ln.track(project="My project")  # auto-link entities to "My project"

ln.Artifact(ln.core.datasets.file_fcs(), key="my_file.fcs").save()  # save an artifact

Use spaces

You can write the entities created during a run into a space that you configure on LaminHub. This is particularly useful if you want to restrict access to a space. Note that this doesn’t affect bionty entities who should typically be commonly accessible.

ln.track(space="Our team space")

Track parameters

In addition to tracking source code, run reports & environments, you can track run parameters.

Track run parameters

First, define valid parameters, e.g.:

ln.Param(name="input_dir", dtype=str).save()
ln.Param(name="learning_rate", dtype=float).save()
ln.Param(name="preprocess_params", dtype="dict").save()

Show code cell output Hide code cell output

Param(name='preprocess_params', dtype='dict', space_id=1, created_by_id=1, run_id=1, created_at=2025-04-15 16:31:54 UTC)

If you hadn’t defined these parameters, you’d get a ValidationError in the following script.

run-track-with-params.py

import argparse
import lamindb as ln

if __name__ == "__main__":
    p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    p.add_argument("--input-dir", type=str)
    p.add_argument("--downsample", action="store_true")
    p.add_argument("--learning-rate", type=float)
    args = p.parse_args()
    params = {
        "input_dir": args.input_dir,
        "learning_rate": args.learning_rate,
        "preprocess_params": {
            "downsample": args.downsample,  # nested parameter names & values in dictionaries are not validated
            "normalization": "the_good_one",
        },
    }
    ln.track(params=params)

    # your code

    ln.finish()

Run the script.

!python scripts/run-track-with-params.py  --input-dir ./mydataset --learning-rate 0.01 --downsample

→ finished Run('mjeLuhc1') after 0s at 2025-04-15 16:31:57 UTC

Query by run parameters

Query for all runs that match a certain parameters:

ln.Run.filter(
    learning_rate=0.01, input_dir="./mydataset", preprocess_params__downsample=True
).df()

Note that:

• preprocess_params__downsample=True traverses the dictionary preprocess_params to find the key "downsample" and match it to True

• nested keys like "downsample" in a dictionary do not appear in Param and hence, do not get validated

Access parameters of a run

Below is how you get the parameter values that were used for a given run.

run = ln.Run.filter(learning_rate=0.01).order_by("-started_at").first()
run.params.get_values()

Show code cell output Hide code cell output

{'input_dir': './mydataset',
 'learning_rate': 0.01,
 'preprocess_params': {'downsample': True, 'normalization': 'the_good_one'}}

Here is how it looks on the hub.

Explore all parameter values

If you want to query all parameter values across all runs, use ParamValue.

ln.models.ParamValue.df(include=["param__name", "created_by__handle"])

    "input_dir": "./mydataset",
    "learning_rate": 0.01,
    "preprocess_params": {"downsample": True, "normalization": "the_good_one"},
}

Track functions

If you want more-fined-grained data lineage tracking, use the tracked() decorator.

In a notebook

ln.Param(name="subset_rows", dtype="int").save()  # define parameters
ln.Param(name="subset_cols", dtype="int").save()
ln.Param(name="input_artifact_key", dtype="str").save()
ln.Param(name="output_artifact_key", dtype="str").save()

Param(name='output_artifact_key', dtype='str', space_id=1, created_by_id=1, run_id=1, created_at=2025-04-15 16:31:57 UTC)

Define a function and decorate it with tracked():

@ln.tracked()
def subset_dataframe(
    input_artifact_key: str,
    output_artifact_key: str,
    subset_rows: int = 2,
    subset_cols: int = 2,
) -> None:
    artifact = ln.Artifact.get(key=input_artifact_key)
    dataset = artifact.load()
    new_data = dataset.iloc[:subset_rows, :subset_cols]
    ln.Artifact.from_df(new_data, key=output_artifact_key).save()

Prepare a test dataset:

df = ln.core.datasets.small_dataset1(otype="DataFrame")
input_artifact_key = "my_analysis/dataset.parquet"
artifact = ln.Artifact.from_df(df, key=input_artifact_key).save()

Run the function with default params:

ouput_artifact_key = input_artifact_key.replace(".parquet", "_subsetted.parquet")
subset_dataframe(input_artifact_key, ouput_artifact_key)

Query for the output:

subsetted_artifact = ln.Artifact.get(key=ouput_artifact_key)
subsetted_artifact.view_lineage()

This is the run that created the subsetted_artifact:

subsetted_artifact.run

Run(uid='JToQdnB94nnBl8tyq19j', started_at=2025-04-15 16:31:58 UTC, finished_at=2025-04-15 16:31:58 UTC, space_id=1, transform_id=3, created_by_id=1, initiated_by_run_id=1, created_at=2025-04-15 16:31:58 UTC)

This is the function that created it:

subsetted_artifact.run.transform

Transform(uid='N3M07ylBrepA0000', is_latest=True, key='track.ipynb/subset_dataframe.py', type='function', hash='F_wwrfFs6zmzMGVilG2Prg', space_id=1, created_by_id=1, created_at=2025-04-15 16:31:58 UTC)

This is the source code of this function:

subsetted_artifact.run.transform.source_code

'@ln.tracked()\ndef subset_dataframe(\n    input_artifact_key: str,\n    output_artifact_key: str,\n    subset_rows: int = 2,\n    subset_cols: int = 2,\n) -> None:\n    artifact = ln.Artifact.get(key=input_artifact_key)\n    dataset = artifact.load()\n    new_data = dataset.iloc[:subset_rows, :subset_cols]\n    ln.Artifact.from_df(new_data, key=output_artifact_key).save()\n'

Sync scripts with git

To sync with your git commit, add the following line to your script:

ln.settings.sync_git_repo = <YOUR-GIT-REPO-URL>

synced-with-git.py

import lamindb as ln

ln.settings.sync_git_repo = "https://github.com/..."
ln.track()
# your code
ln.finish()

You’ll now see the GitHub emoji clickable on the hub.

Manage notebook templates

A notebook acts like a template upon using lamin load to load it. Consider you run:

lamin load https://lamin.ai/account/instance/transform/Akd7gx7Y9oVO0000

Upon running the returned notebook, you’ll automatically create a new version and be able to browse it via the version dropdown on the UI.

Additionally, you can:

• label using ULabel, e.g., transform.ulabels.add(template_label)

• tag with an indicative version string, e.g., transform.version = "T1"; transform.save()

Saving a notebook as an artifact

Sometimes you might want to save a notebook as an artifact. This is how you can do it:

lamin save template1.ipynb --key templates/template1.ipynb --description "Template for analysis type 1" --registry artifact
