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.

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

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

Show code cell output Hide code cell output

Feature(uid='0vmcqnjmoHG6', name='preprocess_params', dtype='dict', array_rank=0, array_size=0, branch_id=1, space_id=1, created_by_id=1, run_id=1, created_at=2025-06-24 12:13:34 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.

    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 Feature 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.features.get_values()

Show code cell output Hide code cell output

{'input_dir': './mydataset',
 'learning_rate': 0.01,

Here is how it looks on the hub.

Explore parameter values

If you want to query all parameter values together with other feature values, use FeatureValue.

Track functions

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

In a notebook

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

Feature(uid='g1KGk117Y1dv', name='output_artifact_key', dtype='str', array_rank=0, array_size=0, branch_id=1, space_id=1, created_by_id=1, run_id=1, created_at=2025-06-24 12:13:39 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)

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
