Code Execution (Batch Mode)

Some sessions provide the batch mode, which offers an explicit build step required for multi-module programs or compiled programming languages. In this mode, you first upload files in prior to execution.

Uploading files

  • URI: /session/:id/upload

  • Method: POST

Parameters

Upload files to the session. You may upload multiple files at once using multi-part form-data encoding in the request body (RFC 1867/2388). The uploaded files are placed under /home/work directory (which is the home directory for all sessions by default), and existing files are always overwritten. If the filename has a directory part, non-existing directories will be auto-created. The path may be either absolute or relative, but only sub-directories under /home/work is allowed to be created.

Hint

This API is for uploading frequently-changing source files in prior to batch-mode execution. All files uploaded via this API is deleted when the session terminates. Use virtual folders to store and access larger, persistent, static data and library files for your codes.

Warning

You cannot upload files to mounted virtual folders using this API directly. However, you may copy/move the generated files to virtual folders in your build script or the main program for later uses.

There are several limits on this API:

The maximum size of each file

1 MiB

The number of files per upload request

20

Response

HTTP Status Code

Description

204 OK

Success.

400 Bad Request

Returned when one of the uploaded file exeeds the size limit or there are too many files.

Executing with Build Step

  • URI: /session/:id

  • Method: POST

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

:id

slug

The session ID.

mode

enum[str]

A constant string "batch".

code

str

Must be an empty string "".

runId

str

A string of client-side unique identifier for this particular run. For more details about the concept of a run, see Code Execution Model. If not given, the API server will assign a random one in the first response and the client must use it for the same run afterwards.

options

object

Batch Execution Query Object.

Example:

{
  "mode": "batch",
  "options": "{batch-execution-query-object}",
  "runId": "af9185c5fb0eacb2"
}

Response

HTTP Status Code

Description

200 OK

The session has responded with the execution result. The response body contains a JSON object as described below.

Fields

Type

Values

result

object

Execution Result Object.

Listing Files

Once files are uploaded to the session or generated during the execution of the code, there is a need to identify what files actually are in the current session. In this case, use this API to get the list of files of your compute sesison.

  • URI: /session/:id/files

  • Method: GET

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

:id

slug

The session ID.

path

str

Path inside the session (default: /home/work).

Response

HTTP Status Code

Description

200 OK

Success.

404 Not Found

There is no such path.

Fields

Type

Values

files

str

Stringified json containing list of files.

folder_path

str

Absolute path inside session.

errors

str

Any errors occurred during scanning the specified path.

Downloading Files

Download files from your compute session.

The response contents are multiparts with tarfile binaries. Post-processing, such as unpacking and save them, should be handled by the client.

  • URI: /session/:id/download

  • Method: GET

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

:id

slug

The session ID.

files

list[str]

File paths inside the session container to download. (maximum 5 files at once)

Response

HTTP Status Code

Description

200 OK

Success.
