Origami is a 🐍 Python library for talking to Noteable notebooks. This is the official way to access the full breadth of API calls and access patterns in async Python for rich programmatic access to notebooks. You can use Noteable for free with a quick signup.
Python 3.8+
For stable release:
pip install noteable-origamipoetry add noteable-origamiFor alpha pre-release:
pip install noteable-origami --preNote Developer note: For pre-1.0 release information, see the pre-1.0 README
The Noteable API requires an authentication token. You can manage tokens at the Noteable user settings page.
- Log in to Noteable (sign up is free).
- In the User Settings tab, navigate to
API Tokensand generate a new token.
- Copy the generated token to the clipboard and save in a secure location, to be read into your Python environment later.

The token can be passed directly in to APIClient on initialization, or set it as env var NOTEABLE_TOKEN.
The example below will guide you through the basics of creating a notebook, adding content, executing code, and seeing the output. For more examples, see our Use Cases section.
Using the API token you created previously, load it into your notebook environment so it can be passed into the APIClient directly. (If you're in Noteable, you can create a Secret that can be read in as an environment variable.)
import os
from origami.clients.api import APIClient
# if we have the `NOTEABLE_TOKEN` environment variable set,
# we don't need to pass it in to the APIClient directly
api_client = APIClient()The APIClient is what we'll use to make HTTP requests to Noteable's REST API.
user = await api_client.user_info()
userUser(
id=UUID('f1a2b3c4-5678-4d90-ef01-23456789abcd'),
created_at=datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
updated_at=datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
deleted_at=None,
handle='ori.gami',
email='origami@noteable.io',
first_name='Ori',
last_name='Gami',
origamist_default_project_id=UUID('a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8123-abcdef123456'),
principal_sub='pat:0a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j10k11l',
auth_type='pat:0a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j10k11l'
)
(The information returned should match your user account information associated with the previously-generated API token.)
Note For this example, we're using the
origamist_default_project_id, which is the default project designed to be used by the ChatGPT plugin. Feel free to replace it with projects you have access to in Noteable!
Provide a file path as well as a project_id (UUID) where the Notebook will exist.
project_id = user.origamist_default_project_id
file = await api_client.create_notebook(
project_id=project_id,
path="Origami Demo.ipynb"
)
fileFile(
id=UUID('bcd12345-6789-4abc-d012-3456abcdef90'),
created_at=datetime.datetime(2023, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
updated_at=datetime.datetime(2023, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
deleted_at=None,
filename='Origami Demo.ipynb',
path=PosixPath('Origami Demo.ipynb'),
project_id=UUID('a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8123-abcdef123456'),
space_id=UUID('7890ab12-3412-4cde-8901-2345abcdef67'),

)
At a minimum, the file_id from the Notebook is required. Additionally, you can specify:
kernel_name(defaultpython3, see more about available kernels)hardware_size(defaultsmall, see more about hardware options).
kernel_session = await api_client.launch_kernel(file_id=file.id)
kernel_sessionKernelSession(
id=UUID('e1f2a345-6789-4b01-cdef-1234567890ab'),
kernel=KernelDetails(
name='python3',
last_activity=datetime.datetime(2023, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
execution_state='idle'
)
)
Content updates and code execution is handled through the Noteable Real-Time Update (RTU) websocket connection.
realtime_notebook = await api_client.connect_realtime(file)Warning You may see messages like
Received un-modeled RTU message msg.channel= .... This is expected as we update the Noteable backend services' messaging.
Once the RTU client is connected, we can begin adding cells, executing code, and more! First, let's add a code cell with a basic Python print statement.
from origami.models.notebook import CodeCell
cell = CodeCell(source="print('Hello World')")
await realtime_notebook.add_cell(cell=cell)(You can also pass code source directly into .add_cell(source='CODE HERE') as a shortcut.)
The returned value is a dictionary of asyncio.Futures. Awaiting those futures will block until the cells have completed execution.
The return value of the Futures is the up-to-date cell. If there's output, an output collection id will be set on the cell metadata.
import asyncio
queued_execution = await realtime_notebook.queue_execution(cell.id)
cells = await asyncio.gather(*queued_execution)
cell = cells[0]
cellCodeCell(
id='2345ab6c-de78-4901-bcde-f1234567890a',
source="print('Hello World')",
metadata={
'noteable': {'output_collection_id': UUID('d1234e5f-6789-4a0b-c123-4567890abcdef')},
'ExecuteTime': {
'start_time': '2023-02-02T01:00:00.000000+00:00',
'end_time': '2023-02-02T01:00:00.050000+00:00'
}
},
cell_type='code',
execution_count=None,
outputs=[]
)
We can call the .output_collection_id property on cells directly, rather than having to parse the cell metadata.
output_collection = await api_client.get_output_collection(cell.output_collection_id)
output_collectionKernelOutputCollection(
id=UUID('d1234e5f-6789-4a0b-c123-4567890abcdef'),

outputs=[
KernelOutput(

]
)
Origami has a small CLI for fetching the content of a Notebook, and tailing a Notebook to see all RTU messages being emitted on the relevant RTU channels.
pip install noteable-origami[cli]
poetry install -E cli
- Fetch the content of a Notebook and write to file:
origami fetch <file-id> > notebook.ipynb - Tail a Notebook, useful when debugging RTU messages:
origami tail <file-id>
- Use
NOTEABLE_API_URLto point to non-production clusters, such ashttp://localhost:8001/apifor local Gate development - E2E tests will use
TEST_SPACE_ID,TEST_PROJECT_ID, andTEST_USER_IDenv vars when running, useful in CI
