Client

class ForecastService.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Forecast Service

Provides APIs for creating and managing Amazon Forecast resources.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('forecast')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_dataset(**kwargs)

Creates an Amazon Forecast dataset. The information about the dataset that you provide helps Forecast understand how to consume the data for model training. This includes the following:

  • *DataFrequency * - How frequently your historical time-series data is collected.
  • *Domain * and * DatasetType * - Each dataset has an associated dataset domain and a type within the domain. Amazon Forecast provides a list of predefined domains and types within each domain. For each unique dataset domain and type within the domain, Amazon Forecast requires your data to include a minimum set of predefined fields.
  • *Schema * - A schema specifies the fields in the dataset, including the field name and data type.

After creating a dataset, you import your training data into it and add the dataset to a dataset group. You use the dataset group to create a predictor. For more information, see howitworks-datasets-groups .

To get a list of all your datasets, use the ListDatasets operation.

For example Forecast datasets, see the Amazon Forecast Sample GitHub repository .

Note

The Status of a dataset must be ACTIVE before you can import training data. Use the DescribeDataset operation to get the status.

Parameters
  • DatasetName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A name for the dataset.

  • Domain (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The domain associated with the dataset. When you add a dataset to a dataset group, this value and the value specified for the Domain parameter of the CreateDatasetGroup operation must match.

    The Domain and DatasetType that you choose determine the fields that must be present in the training data that you import to the dataset. For example, if you choose the RETAIL domain and TARGET_TIME_SERIES as the DatasetType , Amazon Forecast requires item_id , timestamp , and demand fields to be present in your data. For more information, see howitworks-datasets-groups .

  • DatasetType (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The dataset type. Valid values depend on the chosen Domain .

  • DataFrequency (string) --

    The frequency of data collection. This parameter is required for RELATED_TIME_SERIES datasets.

    Valid intervals are Y (Year), M (Month), W (Week), D (Day), H (Hour), 30min (30 minutes), 15min (15 minutes), 10min (10 minutes), 5min (5 minutes), and 1min (1 minute). For example, "D" indicates every day and "15min" indicates every 15 minutes.

  • Schema (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The schema for the dataset. The schema attributes and their order must match the fields in your data. The dataset Domain and DatasetType that you choose determine the minimum required fields in your training data. For information about the required fields for a specific dataset domain and type, see howitworks-domains-ds-types .

    • Attributes (list) --

      An array of attributes specifying the name and type of each field in a dataset.

      • (dict) --

        An attribute of a schema, which defines a dataset field. A schema attribute is required for every field in a dataset. The Schema object contains an array of SchemaAttribute objects.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          The name of the dataset field.

        • AttributeType (string) --

          The data type of the field.

  • EncryptionConfig (dict) --

    An AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key and the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the key.

    • RoleArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The ARN of the IAM role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the AWS KMS key.

      Passing a role across AWS accounts is not allowed. If you pass a role that isn't in your account, you get an InvalidInputException error.

    • KMSKeyArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the KMS key.

  • Tags (list) --

    The optional metadata that you apply to the dataset to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

    The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

    • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.
    • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
    • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
    • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
    • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
    • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
    • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.
    • (dict) --

      The optional metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

create_dataset_import_job(**kwargs)

Imports your training data to an Amazon Forecast dataset. You provide the location of your training data in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset that you want to import the data to.

You must specify a DataSource object that includes an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the data, as Amazon Forecast makes a copy of your data and processes it in an internal AWS system. For more information, see aws-forecast-iam-roles .

The training data must be in CSV format. The delimiter must be a comma (,).

You can specify the path to a specific CSV file, the S3 bucket, or to a folder in the S3 bucket. For the latter two cases, Amazon Forecast imports all files up to the limit of 10,000 files.

Because dataset imports are not aggregated, your most recent dataset import is the one that is used when training a predictor or generating a forecast. Make sure that your most recent dataset import contains all of the data you want to model off of, and not just the new data collected since the previous import.

To get a list of all your dataset import jobs, filtered by specified criteria, use the ListDatasetImportJobs operation.

      • RoleArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The ARN of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the Amazon S3 bucket or files. If you provide a value for the KMSKeyArn key, the role must allow access to the key.

        Passing a role across AWS accounts is not allowed. If you pass a role that isn't in your account, you get an InvalidInputException error.

      • KMSKeyArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key.

  • TimestampFormat (string) --

    The format of timestamps in the dataset. The format that you specify depends on the DataFrequency specified when the dataset was created. The following formats are supported

    • "yyyy-MM-dd" For the following data frequencies: Y, M, W, and D
    • "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" For the following data frequencies: H, 30min, 15min, and 1min; and optionally, for: Y, M, W, and D

    If the format isn't specified, Amazon Forecast expects the format to be "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss".

create_forecast(**kwargs)

Creates a forecast for each item in the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset that was used to train the predictor. This is known as inference. To retrieve the forecast for a single item at low latency, use the operation. To export the complete forecast into your Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket, use the CreateForecastExportJob operation.

The range of the forecast is determined by the ForecastHorizon value, which you specify in the CreatePredictor request. When you query a forecast, you can request a specific date range within the forecast.

To get a list of all your forecasts, use the ListForecasts operation.

Note

The forecasts generated by Amazon Forecast are in the same time zone as the dataset that was used to create the predictor.

For more information, see howitworks-forecast .

Note

The Status of the forecast must be ACTIVE before you can query or export the forecast. Use the DescribeForecast operation to get the status.

Parameters
  • ForecastExportJobName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name for the forecast export job.

  • ForecastArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the forecast that you want to export.

  • Destination (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The location where you want to save the forecast and an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the location. The forecast must be exported to an Amazon S3 bucket.

    If encryption is used, Destination must include an AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key. The IAM role must allow Amazon Forecast permission to access the key.

    • S3Config (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

      The path to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket along with the credentials to access the bucket.

      • Path (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The path to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket or file(s) in an Amazon S3 bucket.

      • RoleArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The ARN of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the Amazon S3 bucket or files. If you provide a value for the KMSKeyArn key, the role must allow access to the key.

        Passing a role across AWS accounts is not allowed. If you pass a role that isn't in your account, you get an InvalidInputException error.

      • KMSKeyArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key.

  • Tags (list) --

    The optional metadata that you apply to the forecast export job to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

    The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

    • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.
    • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
    • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
    • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
    • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
    • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
    • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.
    • (dict) --

      The optional metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

      The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

      • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
      • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
      • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
      • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.
      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The optional part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

create_predictor(**kwargs)

Creates an Amazon Forecast predictor.

In the request, provide a dataset group and either specify an algorithm or let Amazon Forecast choose an algorithm for you using AutoML. If you specify an algorithm, you also can override algorithm-specific hyperparameters.

Amazon Forecast uses the algorithm to train a predictor using the latest version of the datasets in the specified dataset group. You can then generate a forecast using the CreateForecast operation.

To see the evaluation metrics, use the GetAccuracyMetrics operation.

You can specify a featurization configuration to fill and aggregate the data fields in the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset to improve model training. For more information, see FeaturizationConfig .

For RELATED_TIME_SERIES datasets, CreatePredictor verifies that the DataFrequency specified when the dataset was created matches the ForecastFrequency . TARGET_TIME_SERIES datasets don't have this restriction. Amazon Forecast also verifies the delimiter and timestamp format. For more information, see howitworks-datasets-groups .

By default, predictors are trained and evaluated at the 0.1 (P10), 0.5 (P50), and 0.9 (P90) quantiles. You can choose custom forecast types to train and evaluate your predictor by setting the ForecastTypes .

AutoML

If you want Amazon Forecast to evaluate each algorithm and choose the one that minimizes the objective function , set PerformAutoML to true . The objective function is defined as the mean of the weighted losses over the forecast types. By default, these are the p10, p50, and p90 quantile losses. For more information, see EvaluationResult .

When AutoML is enabled, the following properties are disallowed:

  • AlgorithmArn
  • HPOConfig
  • PerformHPO
  • TrainingParameters

To get a list of all of your predictors, use the ListPredictors operation.

Note

Before you can use the predictor to create a forecast, the Status of the predictor must be ACTIVE , signifying that training has completed. To get the status, use the DescribePredictor operation.

Parameters
  • PredictorName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A name for the predictor.

  • AlgorithmArn (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the algorithm to use for model training. Required if PerformAutoML is not set to true .

    Supported algorithms:
    • arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/ARIMA
    • arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/CNN-QR
    • arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/Deep_AR_Plus
    • arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/ETS
    • arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/NPTS
    • arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/Prophet
  • ForecastHorizon (integer) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the number of time-steps that the model is trained to predict. The forecast horizon is also called the prediction length.

    For example, if you configure a dataset for daily data collection (using the DataFrequency parameter of the CreateDataset operation) and set the forecast horizon to 10, the model returns predictions for 10 days.

    The maximum forecast horizon is the lesser of 500 time-steps or 1/3 of the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset length.

  • ForecastTypes (list) --

    Specifies the forecast types used to train a predictor. You can specify up to five forecast types. Forecast types can be quantiles from 0.01 to 0.99, by increments of 0.01 or higher. You can also specify the mean forecast with mean .

    The default value is ["0.10", "0.50", "0.9"] .

    • (string) --
  • PerformAutoML (boolean) --

    Whether to perform AutoML. When Amazon Forecast performs AutoML, it evaluates the algorithms it provides and chooses the best algorithm and configuration for your training dataset.

    The default value is false . In this case, you are required to specify an algorithm.

    Set PerformAutoML to true to have Amazon Forecast perform AutoML. This is a good option if you aren't sure which algorithm is suitable for your training data. In this case, PerformHPO must be false.

  • PerformHPO (boolean) --

    Whether to perform hyperparameter optimization (HPO). HPO finds optimal hyperparameter values for your training data. The process of performing HPO is known as running a hyperparameter tuning job.

    The default value is false . In this case, Amazon Forecast uses default hyperparameter values from the chosen algorithm.

    To override the default values, set PerformHPO to true and, optionally, supply the HyperParameterTuningJobConfig object. The tuning job specifies a metric to optimize, which hyperparameters participate in tuning, and the valid range for each tunable hyperparameter. In this case, you are required to specify an algorithm and PerformAutoML must be false.

    The following algorithms support HPO:

    • DeepAR+
    • CNN-QR
  • TrainingParameters (dict) --

    The hyperparameters to override for model training. The hyperparameters that you can override are listed in the individual algorithms. For the list of supported algorithms, see aws-forecast-choosing-recipes .

    • (string) --
      • (string) --
  • EvaluationParameters (dict) --

    Used to override the default evaluation parameters of the specified algorithm. Amazon Forecast evaluates a predictor by splitting a dataset into training data and testing data. The evaluation parameters define how to perform the split and the number of iterations.

    • NumberOfBacktestWindows (integer) --

      The number of times to split the input data. The default is 1. Valid values are 1 through 5.

    • BackTestWindowOffset (integer) --

      The point from the end of the dataset where you want to split the data for model training and testing (evaluation). Specify the value as the number of data points. The default is the value of the forecast horizon. BackTestWindowOffset can be used to mimic a past virtual forecast start date. This value must be greater than or equal to the forecast horizon and less than half of the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset length.

      ForecastHorizon <= BackTestWindowOffset < 1/2 * TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset length
  • HPOConfig (dict) --

    Provides hyperparameter override values for the algorithm. If you don't provide this parameter, Amazon Forecast uses default values. The individual algorithms specify which hyperparameters support hyperparameter optimization (HPO). For more information, see aws-forecast-choosing-recipes .

    If you included the HPOConfig object, you must set PerformHPO to true.

    • ParameterRanges (dict) --

      Specifies the ranges of valid values for the hyperparameters.

      • CategoricalParameterRanges (list) --

        Specifies the tunable range for each categorical hyperparameter.

          An array of one FeaturizationMethod object that specifies the feature transformation method.

          • (dict) --

            Provides information about the method that featurizes (transforms) a dataset field. The method is part of the FeaturizationPipeline of the Featurization object.

            The following is an example of how you specify a FeaturizationMethod object.

            {

            "FeaturizationMethodName": "filling",

            "FeaturizationMethodParameters": {"aggregation": "sum", "middlefill": "zero", "backfill": "zero"}

            }

            • FeaturizationMethodName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

              The name of the method. The "filling" method is the only supported method.

            • FeaturizationMethodParameters (dict) --

              The method parameters (key-value pairs), which are a map of override parameters. Specify these parameters to override the default values. Related Time Series attributes do not accept aggregation parameters.

              The following list shows the parameters and their valid values for the "filling" featurization method for a Target Time Series dataset. Bold signifies the default value.

              • aggregation : sum , avg , first , min , max
              • frontfill : none
              • middlefill : zero , nan (not a number), value , median , mean , min , max
              • backfill : zero , nan , value , median , mean , min , max

              The following list shows the parameters and their valid values for a Related Time Series featurization method (there are no defaults):

              • middlefill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max
              • backfill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max
              • futurefill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max

              To set a filling method to a specific value, set the fill parameter to value and define the value in a corresponding _value parameter. For example, to set backfilling to a value of 2, include the following: "backfill": "value" and "backfill_value":"2" .

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the KMS key.

  • Tags (list) --

    The optional metadata that you apply to the predictor to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

    The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

    • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.
    • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
    • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
    • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
    • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
    • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
    • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.

If NumberOfBacktestWindows isn't specified, the number defaults to one.

The parameters of the filling method determine which items contribute to the metrics. If you want all items to contribute, specify zero . If you want only those items that have complete data in the range being evaluated to contribute, specify nan . For more information, see FeaturizationMethod .

Note

Before you can get accuracy metrics, the Status of the predictor must be ACTIVE , signifying that training has completed. To get the status, use the DescribePredictor operation.

For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Raises OperationNotPageableError
Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.
Return type
L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}
Returns
A paginator object.
get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters
waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.
Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter
list_dataset_groups(**kwargs)

Returns a list of dataset groups created using the CreateDatasetGroup operation. For each dataset group, this operation returns a summary of its properties, including its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You can retrieve the complete set of properties by using the dataset group ARN with the DescribeDatasetGroup operation.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • Tags (list) --

      The tags for the resource.

      • (dict) --

        The optional metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

        The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

        • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.
        • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
        • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
        • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
        • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
        • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
        • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.
        • Key (string) --

          One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

        • Value (string) --

          The optional part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

  • (dict) --

    • Predictors (list) --

      An array of objects that summarize each predictor's properties.

      • (dict) --

        Provides a summary of the predictor properties that are used in the ListPredictors operation. To get the complete set of properties, call the DescribePredictor operation, and provide the listed PredictorArn .

        • PredictorArn (string) --

          The ARN of the predictor.

        • PredictorName (string) --

          The name of the predictor.

        • DatasetGroupArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset group that contains the data used to train the predictor.

        • Status (string) --

          The status of the predictor. States include:

          • ACTIVE
          • CREATE_PENDING , CREATE_IN_PROGRESS , CREATE_FAILED
          • DELETE_PENDING , DELETE_IN_PROGRESS , DELETE_FAILED
          • CREATE_STOPPING , CREATE_STOPPED

          Note

          The Status of the predictor must be ACTIVE before you can use the predictor to create a forecast.

        • Message (string) --

          If an error occurred, an informational message about the error.

        • CreationTime (datetime) --

          When the model training task was created.

        • LastModificationTime (datetime) --

          The last time the resource was modified. The timestamp depends on the status of the job:

          • CREATE_PENDING - The CreationTime .
          • CREATE_IN_PROGRESS - The current timestamp.
          • CREATE_STOPPING - The current timestamp.
          • CREATE_STOPPED - When the job stopped.
          • ACTIVE or CREATE_FAILED - When the job finished or failed.
