bioblend - BioBlend Documentation
ABOUT
BioBlend is a Python library for interacting with Galaxy and CloudMan APIs.
BioBlend is supported and tested on:
• Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9
• Galaxy release_17.09 and later.
BioBlend's goal is to make it easier to script and automate the running of Galaxy analyses, administering
of a Galaxy server, and cloud infrastructure provisioning and scaling via CloudMan. In practice, it
makes it possible to do things like this:
• Interact with Galaxy via a straightforward API:
from bioblend.galaxy import GalaxyInstance
gi = GalaxyInstance('<Galaxy IP>', key='your API key')
libs = gi.libraries.get_libraries()
gi.workflows.show_workflow('workflow ID')
gi.workflows.run_workflow('workflow ID', input_dataset_map)
• Interact with Galaxy via an object-oriented API:
from bioblend.galaxy.objects import GalaxyInstance
gi = GalaxyInstance("URL", "API_KEY")
wf = gi.workflows.list()[0]
hist = gi.histories.list()[0]
inputs = hist.get_datasets()[:2]
input_map = dict(zip(wf.input_labels, inputs))
params = {"Paste1": {"delimiter": "U"}}
wf.run(input_map, "wf_output", params=params)
• Create a CloudMan compute cluster, via an API and directly from your local machine:
from bioblend.cloudman import CloudManConfig
from bioblend.cloudman import CloudManInstance
cfg = CloudManConfig('<your cloud access key>', '<your cloud secret key>', 'My CloudMan', 'ami-<ID>', 'm1.small', '<password>')
cmi = CloudManInstance.launch_instance(cfg)
cmi.get_status()
• Reconnect to an existing CloudMan instance and manipulate it:
from bioblend.cloudman import CloudManInstance
cmi = CloudManInstance("<instance IP>", "<password>")
cmi.add_nodes(3)
cluster_status = cmi.get_status()
cmi.remove_nodes(2)
NOTE:
Although this library allows you to blend these two services into a cohesive unit, the library itself
can be used with either service irrespective of the other. For example, you can use it to just
manipulate CloudMan clusters or to script the interactions with an instance of Galaxy running on your
laptop.
About the library name
The library was originally called just Blend but we renamed it to reflect more of its domain and a make
it bit more unique so it can be easier to find. The name was intended to be short and easily
pronounceable. In its original implementation, the goal was to provide a lot more support for CloudMan
and other integration capabilities, allowing them to be blended together via code. BioBlend fit the bill.
INSTALLATION
Stable releases of BioBlend are best installed via pip from PyPI:
$ python3 -m pip install bioblend
Alternatively, the most current source code from our Git repository can be installed with:
$ python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/galaxyproject/bioblend
After installing the library, you will be able to simply import it into your Python environment with
import bioblend. For details on the available functionality, see the API documentation.
BioBlend requires a number of Python libraries. These libraries are installed automatically when BioBlend
itself is installed, regardless whether it is installed via PyPi or by running python3 setup.py install
command. The current list of required libraries is always available from setup.py in the source code
repository.
If you also want to run tests locally, some extra libraries are required. To install them, run:
$ python3 setup.py test
USAGE
To get started using BioBlend, install the library as described above. Once the library becomes available
on the given system, it can be developed against. The developed scripts do not need to reside in any
particular location on the system.
It is probably best to take a look at the example scripts in docs/examples source directory and browse
the API documentation. Beyond that, it's up to your creativity :).
DEVELOPMENT
Anyone interested in contributing or tweaking the library is more then welcome to do so. To start, simply
fork the Git repository on Github and start playing with it. Then, issue pull requests.
API DOCUMENTATION
BioBlend's API focuses around and matches the services it wraps. Thus, there are two top-level sets of
APIs, each corresponding to a separate service and a corresponding step in the automation process. Note
that each of the service APIs can be used completely independently of one another.
Effort has been made to keep the structure and naming of those API's consistent across the library but
because they do bridge different services, some discrepancies may exist. Feel free to point those out
and/or provide fixes.
For Galaxy, an alternative object-oriented API is also available. This API provides an explicit modeling
of server-side Galaxy instances and their relationships, providing higher-level methods to perform
operations such as retrieving all datasets for a given history, etc. Note that, at the moment, the oo
API is still incomplete, providing access to a more restricted set of Galaxy modules with respect to the
standard one.
Galaxy API
API used to manipulate genomic analyses within Galaxy, including data management and workflow execution.

GalaxyInstance
class bioblend.galaxy.GalaxyInstance(url, key=None, email=None, password=None, verify=True)
A base representation of a connection to a Galaxy instance, identified by the server URL and user
credentials.
After you have created a GalaxyInstance object, access various modules via the class fields. For
example, to work with histories and get a list of all the user's histories, the following should
be done:
from bioblend import galaxy
gi = galaxy.GalaxyInstance(url='http://127.0.0.1:8000', key='your_api_key')
hl = gi.histories.get_histories()
Parameters
• url (str) -- A FQDN or IP for a given instance of Galaxy. For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8080 . If a Galaxy instance is served under a prefix (e.g.,
http://127.0.0.1:8080/galaxy/), supply the entire URL including the prefix (note that the
prefix must end with a slash). If a Galaxy instance has HTTP Basic authentication with
username and password, then the credentials should be included in the URL, e.g.
http://user:pass@host:port/galaxy/

DatasetStateException will be thrown, unless require_ok_state=False.
Parameters
• dataset_id (str) -- Encoded dataset ID
• file_path (str) -- If this argument is provided, the dataset will be streamed to
disk at that path (should be a directory if use_default_filename=True). If the
file_path argument is not provided, the dataset content is loaded into memory and
returned by the method (Memory consumption may be heavy as the entire file will be
in memory).

invoke_workflow(workflow_id: str, inputs: Optional[dict] = None, params: Optional[dict] = None,
history_id: Optional[str] = None, history_name: Optional[str] = None, import_inputs_to_history:
bool = False, replacement_params: Optional[dict] = None, allow_tool_state_corrections: bool =
False, inputs_by: Optional[str] = None, parameters_normalized: bool = False) -> dict
Invoke the workflow identified by workflow_id. This will cause a workflow to be scheduled
and return an object describing the workflow invocation.
Parameters
• workflow_id (str) -- Encoded workflow ID
• inputs (dict) --
A mapping of workflow inputs to datasets and dataset collections. The datasets
source can be a LibraryDatasetDatasetAssociation (ldda), LibraryDataset (ld),
HistoryDatasetAssociation (hda), or HistoryDatasetCollectionAssociation (hdca).
The map must be in the following format: {'<input_index>': {'id': <encoded dataset
ID>, 'src': '[ldda, ld, hda, hdca]'}} (e.g. {'2': {'id': '29beef4fadeed09f',
'src': 'hda'}})
This map may also be indexed by the UUIDs of the workflow steps, as indicated by
the uuid property of steps returned from the Galaxy API. Alternatively workflow
steps may be addressed by the label that can be set in the workflow editor. If
using uuid or label you need to also set the inputs_by parameter to step_uuid or
name.
• params (dict) -- A mapping of non-datasets tool parameters (see below)
• history_id (str) -- The encoded history ID where to store the workflow output.
Alternatively, history_name may be specified to create a new history.
• history_name (str) -- Create a new history with the given name to store the
workflow output. If both history_id and history_name are provided, history_name is
ignored. If neither is specified, a new 'Unnamed history' is created.
• import_inputs_to_history (bool) -- If True, used workflow inputs will be imported
into the history. If False, only workflow outputs will be visible in the given
history.
• allow_tool_state_corrections (bool) -- If True, allow Galaxy to fill in missing
tool state when running workflows. This may be useful for workflows using tools
that have changed over time or for workflows built outside of Galaxy with only a
subset of inputs defined.
• replacement_params (dict) -- pattern-based replacements for post-job actions (see
below)
• inputs_by (str) -- Determines how inputs are referenced. Can be
"step_index|step_uuid" (default), "step_index", "step_id", "step_uuid", or "name".
• parameters_normalized (bool) -- Whether Galaxy should normalize params to ensure
everything is referenced by a numeric step ID. Default is False, but when setting
params for a subworkflow, True is required.
Return type
dict
Returns
A dict containing the workflow invocation describing the scheduling of the workflow.
For example:
{'history_id': '2f94e8ae9edff68a',
'id': 'df7a1f0c02a5b08e',
'inputs': {'0': {'id': 'a7db2fac67043c7e',
'src': 'hda',

'order_index': 1,
'state': 'new',
'update_time': '2015-10-31T22:00:26',
'workflow_step_id': '964b37715ec9bd22',
'workflow_step_label': None,
'workflow_step_uuid': 'e62440b8-e911-408b-b124-e05435d3125e'}],

'uuid': 'c8aa2b1c-801a-11e5-a9e5-8ca98228593c',
'workflow_id': '03501d7626bd192f'}
The params dict should be specified as follows:
{STEP_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
where PARAM_DICT is:
{PARAM_NAME: VALUE, ...}
For backwards compatibility, the following (deprecated) format is also supported for
params:
{TOOL_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
in which case PARAM_DICT affects all steps with the given tool id. If both by-tool-id and
by-step-id specifications are used, the latter takes precedence.
Finally (again, for backwards compatibility), PARAM_DICT can also be specified as:
{'param': PARAM_NAME, 'value': VALUE}
Note that this format allows only one parameter to be set per step.
For a repeat parameter, the names of the contained parameters needs to be specified as
<repeat name>_<repeat index>|<param name>, with the repeat index starting at 0. For
example, if the tool XML contains:
<repeat name="cutoff" title="Parameters used to filter cells" min="1">
<param name="name" type="text" value="n_genes" label="Name of param...">
<option value="n_genes">n_genes</option>
<option value="n_counts">n_counts</option>
</param>
<param name="min" type="float" min="0" value="0" label="Min value"/>
</repeat>
then the PARAM_DICT should be something like:
{...
"cutoff_0|name": "n_genes",
"cutoff_0|min": "2",
"cutoff_1|name": "n_counts",
"cutoff_1|min": "4",
...}
At the time of this writing, it is not possible to change the number of times the contained
parameters are repeated. Therefore, the parameter indexes can go from 0 to n-1, where n is
the number of times the repeated element was added when the workflow was saved in the
Galaxy UI.
The replacement_params dict should map parameter names in post-job actions (PJAs) to their
runtime values. For instance, if the final step has a PJA like the following:
{'RenameDatasetActionout_file1': {'action_arguments': {'newname': '${output}'},
'action_type': 'RenameDatasetAction',
'output_name': 'out_file1'}}
then the following renames the output dataset to 'foo':
replacement_params = {'output': 'foo'}
see also this email thread.
WARNING:
Historically, the run_workflow method consumed a dataset_map data structure that was
indexed by unencoded workflow step IDs. These IDs would not be stable across Galaxy
instances. The new inputs property is instead indexed by either the order_index property
(which is stable across workflow imports) or the step UUID which is also stable.
module = 'workflows'

action is True/False for pause steps).
Parameters
• workflow_id (str) -- Encoded workflow ID
• invocation_id (str) -- Encoded workflow invocation ID
• step_id (str) -- Encoded workflow invocation step ID

• dataset_map (dict) -- A mapping of workflow inputs to datasets. The datasets
source can be a LibraryDatasetDatasetAssociation (ldda), LibraryDataset (ld), or
HistoryDatasetAssociation (hda). The map must be in the following format:
{'<input>': {'id': <encoded dataset ID>, 'src': '[ldda, ld, hda]'}} (e.g. {'23':
{'id': '29beef4fadeed09f', 'src': 'ld'}})
• params (dict) -- A mapping of non-datasets tool parameters (see below)
• history_id (str) -- The encoded history ID where to store the workflow output.
Alternatively, history_name may be specified to create a new history.
• history_name (str) -- Create a new history with the given name to store the
workflow output. If both history_id and history_name are provided, history_name is
ignored. If neither is specified, a new 'Unnamed history' is created.

into the history. If False, only workflow outputs will be visible in the given
history.
• replacement_params (dict) -- pattern-based replacements for post-job actions (see
below)
Return type
dict
Returns
A dict containing the history ID where the outputs are placed as well as output
dataset IDs. For example:
{'history': '64177123325c9cfd',
'outputs': ['aa4d3084af404259']}
The params dict should be specified as follows:
{STEP_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
where PARAM_DICT is:
{PARAM_NAME: VALUE, ...}
For backwards compatibility, the following (deprecated) format is also supported for
params:
{TOOL_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
in which case PARAM_DICT affects all steps with the given tool id. If both by-tool-id and
by-step-id specifications are used, the latter takes precedence.
Finally (again, for backwards compatibility), PARAM_DICT can also be specified as:
{'param': PARAM_NAME, 'value': VALUE}
Note that this format allows only one parameter to be set per step.
The replacement_params dict should map parameter names in post-job actions (PJAs) to their
runtime values. For instance, if the final step has a PJA like the following:
{'RenameDatasetActionout_file1': {'action_arguments': {'newname': '${output}'},
'action_type': 'RenameDatasetAction',
'output_name': 'out_file1'}}
then the following renames the output dataset to 'foo':
replacement_params = {'output': 'foo'}
see also this email thread.
WARNING:
This method waits for the whole workflow to be scheduled before returning and does not
scale to large workflows as a result. This method has therefore been deprecated in favor
of invoke_workflow(), which also features improved default behavior for dataset input
handling.

dict
Returns
a mapping from input slot ids to dataset ids in the format required by the Galaxy
web API.
property data_collection_input_ids
Return the ids of data collection input steps for this workflow.
property data_input_ids
Return the ids of data input steps for this workflow.

WARNING:
Deleting a workflow is irreversible - all of the data from the workflow will be
permanently deleted.
export()

dict
Returns
a JSON-serializable dump of the workflow
property input_labels
Return the labels of this workflow's input steps.
invoke(inputs=None, params=None, history=None, import_inputs_to_history=None,
replacement_params=None, allow_tool_state_corrections=True, inputs_by=None,
parameters_normalized=False)
Invoke the workflow. This will cause a workflow to be scheduled and return an object
describing the workflow invocation.
Parameters
• inputs (dict) --
A mapping of workflow inputs to datasets and dataset collections. The datasets
source can be a LibraryDatasetDatasetAssociation (ldda), LibraryDataset (ld),
HistoryDatasetAssociation (hda), or HistoryDatasetCollectionAssociation (hdca).
The map must be in the following format: {'<input_index>': {'id': <encoded dataset
ID>, 'src': '[ldda, ld, hda, hdca]'}} (e.g. {'2': {'id': '29beef4fadeed09f',
'src': 'hda'}})
This map may also be indexed by the UUIDs of the workflow steps, as indicated by
the uuid property of steps returned from the Galaxy API. Alternatively workflow
steps may be addressed by the label that can be set in the workflow editor. If
using uuid or label you need to also set the inputs_by parameter to step_uuid or
name.
• params (dict) -- A mapping of non-datasets tool parameters (see below)
• history (str) -- The history in which to store the workflow output.
• import_inputs_to_history (bool) -- If True, used workflow inputs will be imported
into the history. If False, only workflow outputs will be visible in the given
history.
• allow_tool_state_corrections (bool) -- If True, allow Galaxy to fill in missing
tool state when running workflows. This may be useful for workflows using tools
that have changed over time or for workflows built outside of Galaxy with only a
subset of inputs defined.
• replacement_params (dict) -- pattern-based replacements for post-job actions (see
below)
• inputs_by (str) -- Determines how inputs are referenced. Can be
"step_index|step_uuid" (default), "step_index", "step_id", "step_uuid", or "name".
• parameters_normalized (bool) -- Whether Galaxy should normalize params to ensure
everything is referenced by a numeric step ID. Default is False, but when setting
params for a subworkflow, True is required.
Return type
Invocation
Returns
the workflow invocation
The params dict should be specified as follows:
{STEP_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
where PARAM_DICT is:
{PARAM_NAME: VALUE, ...}
For backwards compatibility, the following (deprecated) format is also supported for
params:
{TOOL_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
in which case PARAM_DICT affects all steps with the given tool id. If both by-tool-id and
by-step-id specifications are used, the latter takes precedence.
Finally (again, for backwards compatibility), PARAM_DICT can also be specified as:
{'param': PARAM_NAME, 'value': VALUE}
Note that this format allows only one parameter to be set per step.
For a repeat parameter, the names of the contained parameters needs to be specified as
<repeat name>_<repeat index>|<param name>, with the repeat index starting at 0. For
example, if the tool XML contains:
<repeat name="cutoff" title="Parameters used to filter cells" min="1">
<param name="name" type="text" value="n_genes" label="Name of param...">
<option value="n_genes">n_genes</option>
<option value="n_counts">n_counts</option>
</param>
<param name="min" type="float" min="0" value="0" label="Min value"/>
</repeat>
then the PARAM_DICT should be something like:
{...
"cutoff_0|name": "n_genes",
"cutoff_0|min": "2",
"cutoff_1|name": "n_counts",
"cutoff_1|min": "4",
...}
At the time of this writing, it is not possible to change the number of times the contained
parameters are repeated. Therefore, the parameter indexes can go from 0 to n-1, where n is
the number of times the repeated element was added when the workflow was saved in the
Galaxy UI.
The replacement_params dict should map parameter names in post-job actions (PJAs) to their
runtime values. For instance, if the final step has a PJA like the following:
{'RenameDatasetActionout_file1': {'action_arguments': {'newname': '${output}'},
'action_type': 'RenameDatasetAction',
'output_name': 'out_file1'}}
then the following renames the output dataset to 'foo':
replacement_params = {'output': 'foo'}
see also this email thread.
WARNING:
Historically, the run_workflow method consumed a dataset_map data structure that was
indexed by unencoded workflow step IDs. These IDs would not be stable across Galaxy
instances. The new inputs property is instead indexed by either the order_index property
(which is stable across workflow imports) or the step UUID which is also stable.
property is_runnable
Return True if the workflow can be run on Galaxy.
A workflow is considered runnable on a Galaxy instance if all of the tools it uses are
installed in that instance.
property parameter_input_ids
Return the ids of parameter input steps for this workflow.
preview()
run(input_map=None, history='', params=None, import_inputs=False, replacement_params=None,
wait=False, polling_interval=10, break_on_error=True)
Run the workflow in the current Galaxy instance.
Deprecated since version 0.16.0: Use invoke() instead.
Parameters
• input_map (dict) -- a mapping from workflow input labels to datasets, e.g.:
dict(zip(workflow.input_labels, library.get_datasets()))
• history (History or str) -- either a valid history object (results will be stored
there) or a string (a new history will be created with the given name).
• params (dict) -- a mapping of non-datasets tool parameters (see below)
• import_inputs (bool) -- If True, workflow inputs will be imported into the
history; if False, only workflow outputs will be visible in the history.
• replacement_params (dict) -- pattern-based replacements for post-job actions (see
the docs for invoke_workflow())
• wait (bool) -- whether to wait while the returned datasets are in a pending state
• polling_interval (float) -- polling interval in seconds
• break_on_error (bool) -- whether to break as soon as at least one of the returned
datasets is in the 'error' state
Return type
tuple
Returns
list of output datasets, output history
The params dict should be specified as follows:
{STEP_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
where PARAM_DICT is:
{PARAM_NAME: VALUE, ...}
For backwards compatibility, the following (deprecated) format is also supported for
params:
{TOOL_ID: PARAM_DICT, ...}
in which case PARAM_DICT affects all steps with the given tool id. If both by-tool-id and
by-step-id specifications are used, the latter takes precedence.
Finally (again, for backwards compatibility), PARAM_DICT can also be specified as:
{'param': PARAM_NAME, 'value': VALUE}
Note that this format allows only one parameter to be set per step.
Example: set 'a' to 1 for the third workflow step:
params = {workflow.steps[2].id: {'a': 1}}
WARNING:
This is a blocking operation that can take a very long time. If wait is set to False,
the method will return as soon as the workflow has been scheduled, otherwise it will
wait until the workflow has been run. With a large number of steps, however, the delay
may not be negligible even in the former case (e.g. minutes for 100 steps).
sorted_step_ids()
Return a topological sort of the workflow's DAG.
property tool_ids
Return the ids of tool steps for this workflow.
class bioblend.galaxy.objects.wrappers.WorkflowPreview(*args, **kwargs)

class bioblend.galaxy.objects.wrappers.Wrapper(*args, **kwargs)
Abstract base class for Galaxy entity wrappers.
Wrapper instances wrap deserialized JSON dictionaries such as the ones obtained by the Galaxy web
API, converting key-based access to attribute-based access (e.g., library['name'] ->
library.name).
Dict keys that are converted to attributes are listed in the BASE_ATTRS class variable: this is
the 'stable' interface. Note that the wrapped dictionary is accessible via the wrapped attribute.
Parameters

Usage documentation
This page describes some sample use cases for the Galaxy API and provides examples for these API calls.
In addition to this page, there are functional examples of complete scripts in the docs/examples
directory of the BioBlend source code repository.
Connect to a Galaxy server
To connect to a running Galaxy server, you will need an account on that Galaxy instance and an API key
for the account. Instructions on getting an API key can be found at
https://galaxyproject.org/develop/api/ .
To open a connection call:
from bioblend.galaxy import GalaxyInstance
gi = GalaxyInstance(url='http://example.galaxy.url', key='your-API-key')
We now have a GalaxyInstance object which allows us to interact with the Galaxy server under our account,
and access our data. If the account is a Galaxy admin account we also will be able to use this connection
to carry out admin actions.
View Histories and Datasets
Methods for accessing histories and datasets are grouped under GalaxyInstance.histories.* and
GalaxyInstance.datasets.* respectively.
To get information on the Histories currently in your account, call:
>>> gi.histories.get_histories()
[{'id': 'f3c2b0f3ecac9f02',
'name': 'RNAseq_DGE_BASIC_Prep',
'url': '/api/histories/f3c2b0f3ecac9f02'},
{'id': '8a91dcf1866a80c2',
'name': 'June demo',
'url': '/api/histories/8a91dcf1866a80c2'}]
This returns a list of dictionaries containing basic metadata, including the id and name of each History.
In this case, we have two existing Histories in our account, 'RNAseq_DGE_BASIC_Prep' and 'June demo'. To
get more detailed information about a History we can pass its id to the show_history method:
>>> gi.histories.show_history('f3c2b0f3ecac9f02', contents=False)
{'annotation': '',
'contents_url': '/api/histories/f3c2b0f3ecac9f02/contents',

This gives us a dictionary containing the History's metadata. With contents=False (the default), we only
get a list of ids of the datasets contained within the History; with contents=True we would get metadata
on each dataset. We can also directly access more detailed information on a particular dataset by passing
its id to the show_dataset method:
>>> gi.datasets.show_dataset('10a4b652da44e82a')
{'data_type': 'fastqsanger',

Uploading Datasets to a History
To upload a local file to a Galaxy server, you can run the upload_file method, supplying the path to a
local file:
>>> gi.tools.upload_file('test.txt', 'f3c2b0f3ecac9f02')
{'implicit_collections': [],
'jobs': [{'create_time': '2015-07-28T17:52:39.756488',

'visible': True}]}
If files are greater than 2GB in size, they will need to be uploaded via FTP. Importing files from the
user's FTP folder can be done via running the upload tool again:
>>> gi.tools.upload_from_ftp('test.txt', 'f3c2b0f3ecac9f02')
{'implicit_collections': [],
'jobs': [{'create_time': '2015-07-28T17:57:43.704394',

View Data Libraries
Methods for accessing Data Libraries are grouped under GalaxyInstance.libraries.*. Most Data Library
methods are available to all users, but as only administrators can create new Data Libraries within
Galaxy, the create_folder and create_library methods can only be called using an API key belonging to an
admin account.
We can view the Data Libraries available to our account using:
>>> gi.libraries.get_libraries()
[{'id': '8e6f930d00d123ea',
'name': 'RNA-seq workshop data',
'url': '/api/libraries/8e6f930d00d123ea'},
{'id': 'f740ab636b360a70',
'name': '1000 genomes',
'url': '/api/libraries/f740ab636b360a70'}]
This gives a list of metadata dictionaries with basic information on each library. We can get more
information on a particular Data Library by passing its id to the show_library method:
>>> gi.libraries.show_library('8e6f930d00d123ea')
{'contents_url': '/api/libraries/8e6f930d00d123ea/contents',
'description': 'RNA-Seq workshop data',
'name': 'RNA-Seq',
'synopsis': 'Data for the RNA-Seq tutorial'}
Upload files to a Data Library
We can get files into Data Libraries in several ways: by uploading from our local machine, by retrieving
from a URL, by passing the new file content directly into the method, or by importing a file from the
filesystem on the Galaxy server.
For instance, to upload a file from our machine we might call:
>>> gi.libraries.upload_file_from_local_path('8e6f930d00d123ea', '/local/path/to/mydata.fastq', file_type='fastqsanger')
Note that we have provided the id of the destination Data Library, and in this case we have specified the
type that Galaxy should assign to the new dataset. The default value for file_type is 'auto', in which
case Galaxy will attempt to guess the dataset type.
View Workflows
Methods for accessing workflows are grouped under GalaxyInstance.workflows.*.
To get information on the Workflows currently in your account, use:
>>> gi.workflows.get_workflows()
[{'id': 'e8b85ad72aefca86',
'name': 'TopHat + cufflinks part 1',
'url': '/api/workflows/e8b85ad72aefca86'},
{'id': 'b0631c44aa74526d',
'name': 'CuffDiff',
'url': '/api/workflows/b0631c44aa74526d'}]
This returns a list of metadata dictionaries. We can get the details of a particular Workflow, including
its steps, by passing its id to the show_workflow method:
>>> gi.workflows.show_workflow('e8b85ad72aefca86')
{'id': 'e8b85ad72aefca86',
'inputs': {'252': {'label': 'Input RNA-seq fastq', 'value': ''}},
'name': 'TopHat + cufflinks part 1',
'steps': {'250': {'id': 250,
'input_steps': {'input1': {'source_step': 252,
'step_output': 'output'}},
'tool_id': 'tophat',
'type': 'tool'},
'251': {'id': 251,
'input_steps': {'input': {'source_step': 250,
'step_output': 'accepted_hits'}},
'tool_id': 'cufflinks',
'type': 'tool'},
'252': {'id': 252,
'input_steps': {},
'tool_id': None,
'type': 'data_input'}},
'url': '/api/workflows/e8b85ad72aefca86'}
Export or import a workflow
Workflows can be exported from or imported into Galaxy. This makes it possible to archive workflows, or
to move them between Galaxy instances.
To export a workflow, we can call:
>>> workflow_dict = gi.workflows.export_workflow_dict('e8b85ad72aefca86')
This gives us a complex dictionary representing the workflow. We can import this dictionary as a new
workflow with:
>>> gi.workflows.import_workflow_dict(workflow_dict)
{'id': 'c0bacafdfe211f9a',
'name': 'TopHat + cufflinks part 1 (imported from API)',
'url': '/api/workflows/c0bacafdfe211f9a'}
This call returns a dictionary containing basic metadata on the new workflow. Since in this case we have
imported the dictionary into the original Galaxy instance, we now have a duplicate of the original
workflow in our account:
>>> gi.workflows.get_workflows()
[{'id': 'c0bacafdfe211f9a',
'name': 'TopHat + cufflinks part 1 (imported from API)',
'url': '/api/workflows/c0bacafdfe211f9a'},
{'id': 'e8b85ad72aefca86',
'name': 'TopHat + cufflinks part 1',
'url': '/api/workflows/e8b85ad72aefca86'},
{'id': 'b0631c44aa74526d',
'name': 'CuffDiff',
'url': '/api/workflows/b0631c44aa74526d'}]
Instead of using dictionaries directly, workflows can be exported to or imported from files on the local
disk using the export_workflow_to_local_path and import_workflow_from_local_path methods. See the API
reference for details.
NOTE:
If we export a workflow from one Galaxy instance and import it into another, Galaxy will only run it
without modification if it has the same versions of the tool wrappers installed. This is to ensure
reproducibility. Otherwise, we will need to manually update the workflow to use the new tool versions.
Run a Workflow
To run a Workflow, we need to tell Galaxy which datasets to use for which workflow inputs. We can use
datasets from Histories or Data Libraries.
Examine the Workflow above. We can see that it takes only one input file. That is:
>>> wf = gi.workflows.show_workflow('e8b85ad72aefca86')
>>> wf['inputs']
{'252': {'label': 'Input RNA-seq fastq', 'value': ''}}
There is one input, labelled 'Input RNA-seq fastq'. This input is passed to the Tophat tool and should be
a fastq file. We will use the dataset we examined above, under View Histories and Datasets, which had
name 'C1_R2_1.chr4.fq' and id '10a4b652da44e82a'.
To specify the inputs, we build a data map and pass this to the run_workflow method. This data map is a
nested dictionary object which maps inputs to datasets. We call:
>>> datamap = {'252': {'src':'hda', 'id':'10a4b652da44e82a'}}
>>> gi.workflows.run_workflow('e8b85ad72aefca86', datamap, history_name='New output history')
{'history': '0a7b7992a7cabaec',
'outputs': ['33be8ad9917d9207',
'fbee1c2dc793c114',
'85866441984f9e28',
'1c51aa78d3742386',
'a68e8770e52d03b4',
'c54baf809e3036ac',
'ba0db8ce6cd1fe8f',
'c019e4cf08b2ac94']}
In this case the only input id is '252' and the corresponding dataset id is '10a4b652da44e82a'. We have
specified the dataset source to be 'hda' (HistoryDatasetAssociation) since the dataset is stored in a
History. See the API reference for allowed dataset specifications. We have also requested that a new
History be created and used to store the results of the run, by setting history_name='New output
history'.
The run_workflow call submits all the jobs which need to be run to the Galaxy workflow engine, with the
appropriate dependencies so that they will run in order. The call returns immediately, so we can continue
to submit new jobs while waiting for this workflow to execute. run_workflow returns the id of the output
History and of the datasets that will be created as a result of this run. Note that these dataset ids are
valid immediately, so we can specify these datasets as inputs to new jobs even before the files have been
created, and the new jobs will be added to the queue with the appropriate dependencies.
If we view the output History immediately after calling run_workflow, we will see something like:
>>> gi.histories.show_history('0a7b7992a7cabaec')
{'annotation': '',
'contents_url': '/api/histories/0a7b7992a7cabaec/contents',
'id': '0a7b7992a7cabaec',
'name': 'New output history',
'nice_size': '0 bytes',
'state': 'queued',
'state_details': {'discarded': 0,
'empty': 0,
'error': 0,
'failed_metadata': 0,
'new': 0,
'ok': 0,
'paused': 0,
'queued': 8,
'running': 0,
'setting_metadata': 0,
'upload': 0},
'state_ids': {'discarded': [],
'empty': [],
'error': [],
'failed_metadata': [],
'new': [],
'ok': [],
'paused': [],
'queued': ['33be8ad9917d9207',
'fbee1c2dc793c114',
'85866441984f9e28',
'1c51aa78d3742386',
'a68e8770e52d03b4',
'c54baf809e3036ac',
'ba0db8ce6cd1fe8f',
'c019e4cf08b2ac94'],
'running': [],
'setting_metadata': [],
'upload': []}}
In this case, because the submitted jobs have not had time to run, the output History contains 8 datasets
in the 'queued' state and has a total size of 0 bytes. If we make this call again later we should instead
see completed output files.
View Users
Methods for managing users are grouped under GalaxyInstance.users.*. User management is only available to
Galaxy administrators, that is, the API key used to connect to Galaxy must be that of an admin account.
To get a list of users, call:
>>> gi.users.get_users()
[{'email': 'userA@unimelb.edu.au',
'id': '975a9ce09b49502a',
'quota_percent': None,
'url': '/api/users/975a9ce09b49502a'},
{'email': 'userB@student.unimelb.edu.au',
'id': '0193a95acf427d2c',
'quota_percent': None,
'url': '/api/users/0193a95acf427d2c'}]
Using BioBlend for raw API calls
BioBlend can be used to make HTTP requests to the Galaxy API in a more convenient way than using e.g. the
requests Python library. There are 5 available methods corresponding to the most common HTTP methods:
make_get_request, make_post_request, make_put_request, make_delete_request and make_patch_request. One
advantage of using these methods is that the API keys stored in the GalaxyInstance object is
automatically added to the request.
To make a GET request to the Galaxy API with BioBlend, call:
>>> gi.make_get_request(gi.base_url + "/api/version").json()
{'version_major': '19.05',
'extra': {}}
To make a POST request to the Galaxy API with BioBlend, call:
>>> gi.make_post_request(gi.base_url + "/api/histories", payload={"name": "test history"})

CloudMan API
API used to manipulate the instantiated infrastructure. For example, scale the size of the compute
cluster, get infrastructure status, get service status.
API documentation for interacting with CloudMan
CloudManLauncher
CloudManInstance
Usage documentation
This page describes some sample use cases for CloudMan API and provides examples for these API calls. In
addition to this page, there are functional examples of complete scripts in docs/examples directory of
the BioBlend source code repository.
Setting up custom cloud properties
CloudMan supports Amazon, OpenStack, OpenNebula, and Eucalyptus based clouds and BioBlend can be used to
programatically manipulate CloudMan on any of those clouds. Once launched, the API calls to CloudMan are
the same irrespective of the cloud. In order to launch an instance on a given cloud, cloud properties
need to be provided to CloudManLauncher. If cloud properties are not specified, CloudManLauncher will
default to Amazon cloud properties.
If we want to use a different cloud provider, we need to specify additional cloud properties when
creating an instance of the CloudManLauncher class. For example, if we wanted to create a connection to
NeCTAR, Australia's national research cloud, we would use the following properties:
from bioblend.util import Bunch
nectar = Bunch(
name='NeCTAR',
cloud_type='openstack',
bucket_default='cloudman-os',
region_name='NeCTAR',
region_endpoint='nova.rc.nectar.org.au',
ec2_port=8773,
ec2_conn_path='/services/Cloud',
cidr_range='115.146.92.0/22',
is_secure=True,
s3_host='swift.rc.nectar.org.au',
s3_port=8888,
s3_conn_path='/')
NOTE:
These properties are cloud-specific and need to be obtained from a given cloud provider.
Launching a new cluster instance
In order to launch a CloudMan cluster on a chosen cloud, we do the following (continuing from the
previous example):
from bioblend.cloudman import CloudManConfig
from bioblend.cloudman import CloudManInstance
cmc = CloudManConfig('<your AWS access key', 'your AWS secret key', 'Cluster name',
'ami-<ID>', 'm1.medium', 'choose_a_password_here', nectar)
cmi = CloudManInstance.launch_instance(cmc)
NOTE:
If you already have an existing instance of CloudMan, just create an instance of the CloudManInstance
object directly by calling its constructor and connecting to it (the password you provide must match
the password you provided as part of user data when launching this instance). For example:
cmi = CloudManInstance('http://115.146.92.174', 'your_UD_password')
We now have a CloudManInstance object that allows us to manage created CloudMan instance via the API.
Once launched, it will take a few minutes for the instance to boot and CloudMan start. To check on the
status of the machine, (repeatedly) run the following command:
>>> cmi.get_machine_status()
{'error': '',
'instance_state': 'pending',
'placement': '',
'public_ip': ''}
>>> cmi.get_machine_status()
{'error': '',
'instance_state': 'running',
'placement': 'melbourne-qh2',
'public_ip': '115.146.86.29'}
Once the instance is ready, although it may still take a few moments for CloudMan to start, it is
possible to start interacting with the application.
NOTE:
The CloudManInstance object (e.g., cmi) is a local representation of the actual CloudMan instance. As
a result, the local object can get out of sync with the remote instance. To update the state of the
local object, call the update method on the cmi object:
>>> cmi.update()
Manipulating an existing cluster
Having a reference to a CloudManInstance object, we can manage it via the available cloudman-instance-api
API:
>>> cmi.initialized
False
>>> cmi.initialize('SGE')
>>> cmi.get_status()
{'all_fs': [],
'app_status': 'yellow',
'autoscaling': {'as_max': 'N/A',
'as_min': 'N/A',
'use_autoscaling': False},
'cluster_status': 'STARTING',
'data_status': 'green',
'disk_usage': {'pct': '0%', 'total': '0', 'used': '0'},
'dns': '#',
'instance_status': {'available': '0', 'idle': '0', 'requested': '0'},
'snapshot': {'progress': 'None', 'status': 'None'}}
>>> cmi.get_cluster_size()
1
>>> cmi.get_nodes()
[{'id': 'i-00006016',
'instance_type': 'm1.medium',
'ld': '0.0 0.025 0.065',
'public_ip': '115.146.86.29',
'time_in_state': '2268'}]
>>> cmi.add_nodes(2)
{'all_fs': [],
'app_status': 'green',
'autoscaling': {'as_max': 'N/A',
'as_min': 'N/A',
'use_autoscaling': False},
'cluster_status': 'READY',
'data_status': 'green',
'disk_usage': {'pct': '0%', 'total': '0', 'used': '0'},
'dns': '#',
'instance_status': {'available': '0', 'idle': '0', 'requested': '2'},
'snapshot': {'progress': 'None', 'status': 'None'}}
>>> cmi.get_cluster_size()

CONFIGURATION
BioBlend allows library-wide configuration to be set in external files. These configuration files can be
used to specify access keys, for example.
Configuration documents for BioBlend
BioBlend
exception bioblend.ConnectionError(message, body=None, status_code=None)
An exception class that is raised when unexpected HTTP responses come back.
Should make it easier to debug when strange HTTP things happen such as a proxy server getting in
the way of the request etc. @see: body attribute to see the content of the http response
class bioblend.NullHandler(level=0)
Initializes the instance - basically setting the formatter to None and the filter list to empty.
emit(record)
Do whatever it takes to actually log the specified logging record.
This version is intended to be implemented by subclasses and so raises a
NotImplementedError.
exception bioblend.TimeoutException
bioblend.get_version()
Returns a string with the current version of the library (e.g., "0.2.0")
bioblend.init_logging()
Initialize BioBlend's logging from a configuration file.
bioblend.set_file_logger(name, filepath, level=20, format_string=None)
bioblend.set_stream_logger(name, level=10, format_string=None)
Config
class bioblend.config.Config(path=None, fp=None, do_load=True)
BioBlend allows library-wide configuration to be set in external files. These configuration files
can be used to specify access keys, for example. By default we use two locations for the BioBlend
configurations:
• System wide: /etc/bioblend.cfg
• Individual user: ~/.bioblend (which works on both Windows and Unix)
get(section, name, default=None)
get_value(section, name, default=None)
getbool(section, name, default=False)
getfloat(section, name, default=0.0)
getint(section, name, default=0)
TESTING
If you would like to do more than just a mock test, you need to point BioBlend to an instance of Galaxy.
Do so by exporting the following two variables:
$ export BIOBLEND_GALAXY_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080
$ export BIOBLEND_GALAXY_API_KEY=<API key>
The unit tests, stored in the tests folder, can be run using pytest. From the project root:
$ pytest
GETTING HELP
If you have run into issues, found a bug, or can't seem to find an answer to your question regarding the
use and functionality of BioBlend, please use the Github Issues page to ask your question.
