# API Extended Reference

## Create Dataset

Complete API documentation can be found [here](https://platform.aporia.com/api/v1/docs#tag/Datasets/operation/connect_dataset_api_v1__account_name___workspace_name__datasets_post)

The `config` parameter can include the following keys:

* **header**: Applicable only to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob. This flag indicates whether Spark should interpret the first line of the file as column names. Example: `"header": false`. Only relevant for CSV files.
* **infer\_schema**: Applicable only to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob for CSV data. This flag determines whether the column types should be automatically inferred when reading the file. Example: `"infer_schema": false`. In most cases, this can be left out.
* **object\_format**: Applicable only to  AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob. Defines the format of the data files. Possible values are `parquet`, `csv`, `json`, `delta`. Example: `"object_format": "parquet"`.
* **query**: Specifies the dataset query used to retrieve data. Example: `"query": "SELECT f1, f2 FROM data_table"`. Applicable to all data sources. Note: Some data sources may use different SQL dialects. For blob-storage data sources, this SQL is SparkSQL and you can access the file data using `{data}` as a table name.
* **regex**: Applicable only to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob. Defines a regular expression for the data bucket/path. Example: `"regex": "demo-data/demo-fraud-model-data.parquet"`.

## Create Monitor

Complete API documentation can be found [here](https://platform.aporia.com/api/v1/docs#tag/Monitors-\(Experimental\)/operation/create_monitor_api_v1__account_name___workspace_name__monitors_post)

* **type**: Specifies the monitor type. Possible values are: `"model_activity"`, `"missing_values"`, `"data_drift"`, `"prediction_drift"`, `"values_range"`, `"new_values"`, `"model_staleness"`, `"performance_degradation"`, `"metric_change"`, `"custom_metric"`, `"code_based_metric"`.
* **scheduling**: A CRON string that determines the monitor's execution schedule. For example setting the **scheduling string to** `0 0 * * *` will trigger the monitor every day at midnight.
* **is\_active**: A flag indicating whether the monitor is active or not.
* **configuration**: Contains all settings for the monitor. This parameter may include the following keys:
  * **identification**: Specifies the data on which the monitor should run. It may include:

    * **models**: Defines the model and its versions for monitoring. Includes `"id"` for the model ID and `"version"` for the model version ID. To monitor the "per active version," set it to `null`; for all versions, use `"all_versions"`; for the latest version, use `"latest"`. Example: `"models": {"id": "929ec979-4108-4397-ba59-ad639b7271e8", "version": "338dc00f-8e56-44b9-af90-f0e6507c9b09"}`. This field must always be set.
    * **segment**: Specifies the data segments to monitor. Includes `group` for the segment group ID and `value` for specific segment values. To include all segment values, set to `null`; for categorical or boolean values, specify the value (e.g., `"NY"`); for numeric values, provide the lower bound (e.g., for age range 18-23, use `"18"`). Example: `"group": "f2ad3ba0-9ff8-4b95-8d20-2490a06d026a", "value": 23}`.
    * **features, raw\_inputs, predictions, actuals**: Specifies which features, raw inputs, predictions, or actuals to monitor. The value should be an array of fields, each represented by an array containing the field's name and type. Example: `"features": [["age", "numeric"], ["is_insured", "boolean"], ["country", "categorical"]]`. For monitors which inspect different fields (drift, metric change, performance degradation, value ranges, new values), these fields must  be set.

    **Example of a complete identification configuration**:&#x20;

```json
{
  "identification": {
    "models": {
      "id": "7cf1a165-f321-452c-b8d7-2062e215cf37",
      "version": null
    },
    "segment": {
      "group": "f2ad3ba0-9ff8-4b95-8d20-2490a06d026a",
      "value": "AZ"
    },
    "features": [
        "age",
        "is_insured",
        "country"
    ]
  }
}
```

* **configuration**: Used to define monitor settings. It may include:

  * **focal**: Configurations for the data being analyzed. Potential keys include:
    * **source**: Data source, which can be `"SERVING"`, `"TRAINING"`, or `"TEST"`. Example: `"source": "SERVING"`.
    * **skipPeriod**: A time period, starting from the monitor execution time, to skip data calculations, formatted as a time string (e.g., `"2h"`, `"1w"`). Example: `"skipPeriod": "3h"` will skip all data records from the last 3 hours.
    * **timePeriod**: The time frame for data calculation, formatted as a time string (e.g., `"2h"`, `"1w"`). Example: `"timePeriod": "1w"` recalculates all data within the relevant week.
  * **baseline**: Configurations for the baseline data being compared against. Potential keys include:
    * **source**: Data source, which can be `"SERVING" or` `"TRAINING"`. Example: `"source": "SERVING"`.
    * **skipPeriod**: Similar to `focal`, specifies a time period from NOW to skip data calculations. Example: `"skipPeriod": "3h"`.\
      Note that it is common practice to set the skip period of the baseline equal to the time period of the focal, to match the timeframes.
    * **timePeriod**: Time frame for data calculation, formatted as a time string (e.g., `"2h"`, `"1w"`).  The time period is starting after the skip period (see sketch below). Example: `"timePeriod": "1w"`.
    * **segmentGroupId**: When comparing data between two segments, this is the segment group ID for the baseline data. Example: `"segmentGroupId": "f2ad3ba0-9ff8-4b95-8d20-2490a06d026a"`.
    * **segmentValue**: When comparing data between segments, this specifies the segment value for the baseline data. For categorical or boolean values, provide the value (e.g., `"NY"`); for numeric values, provide the lower bound (e.g., for an age range of 18-23, use `"18"`). Example: `"segmentValue": 0`.
    * **aggregationPeriod**: Defines the data aggregation period for creating a comparison timeline. Example: `"aggregationPeriod": "1d"` aggregates data into daily buckets.

## Create Model

Complete API documentation can be found [here](https://platform.aporia.com/api/v1/docs#tag/Models/operation/create_model_api_v1__account_name___workspace_name__models_post)

The `recalculation_schedules` parameter defines the periods for data recalculation, allowing for the configuration of multiple schedules. You can set up to 5 recalculation schedules per model. Each schedule consists of the following components:

* **skip\_period**: Specifies the duration, starting from the current time, during which data will be excluded from the calculation. The period is defined using a time string format (e.g., `"2h"` for 2 hours, `"1w"` for 1 week). For example, setting `"skip_period": "3h"` will skip data records from the last 3 hours. For daily models, hours are not applicable.
* **calculation\_window**: Defines the time frame over which the data should be recalculated. This is also specified using a time string format (e.g., `"2h"` for 2 hours, `"1w"` for 1 week). For instance, setting `"calculation_window": "1w"` will trigger a recalculation of all relevant data for the past week. For daily models, hours are not applicable.
* **calculation\_schedule**: A CRON expression that specifies when the recalculation process should be initiated. For example, `"0 0 * * *"` sets the recalculation to start every day at midnight.

For instance, setting the parameters as `{"skip_period": "3h", "calculation_window": "1w", "calculation_schedule": "0 0 * * *"}` results in a recalculation process that is triggered daily at midnight. This process will recalculate data of a week starting from 3 hours backwards. So, if the recalculation is triggered on August 20 at midnight, it will process data from August 12 at 21:00 (3 hours skipped) up to August 19 at 21:00.
