describe_dataset

describe_dataset(**kwargs)

Describes an Amazon Forecast dataset created using the CreateDataset operation.

In addition to listing the parameters specified in the CreateDataset request, this operation includes the following dataset properties:

• CreationTime
• LastModificationTime
• Status

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset.

Return type

Response Structure

• (dict) --
  • DatasetArn (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset.

  • DatasetName (string) --

    The name of the dataset.

  • Domain (string) --

    The domain associated with the dataset.

  • DatasetType (string) --

    The dataset type.

  • DataFrequency (string) --

    The frequency of data collection.

    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, "M" indicates every month and "30min" indicates every 30 minutes.

  • Schema (dict) --

    An array of SchemaAttribute objects that specify the dataset fields. Each SchemaAttribute specifies the name and data type of a field.

    • 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.

          For a related time series dataset, other than date, item_id, and forecast dimensions attributes, all attributes should be of numerical type (integer/float).

  • EncryptionConfig (dict) --

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

    • RoleArn (string) --

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

      Passing a role across Amazon Web Services 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 the KMS key.

  • Status (string) --

    The status of the dataset. States include:

    • ACTIVE
    • CREATE_PENDING , CREATE_IN_PROGRESS , CREATE_FAILED
    • DELETE_PENDING , DELETE_IN_PROGRESS , DELETE_FAILED
    • UPDATE_PENDING , UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS , UPDATE_FAILED

    The UPDATE states apply while data is imported to the dataset from a call to the CreateDatasetImportJob operation and reflect the status of the dataset import job. For example, when the import job status is CREATE_IN_PROGRESS , the status of the dataset is UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS .

    Note

    The Status of the dataset must be ACTIVE before you can import training data.

  • CreationTime (datetime) --

    When the dataset was created.

  • LastModificationTime (datetime) --

    When you create a dataset, LastModificationTime is the same as CreationTime . While data is being imported to the dataset, LastModificationTime is the current time of the DescribeDataset call. After a CreateDatasetImportJob operation has finished, LastModificationTime is when the import job completed or failed.

Exceptions

• ForecastService.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
• ForecastService.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
