  • 1.  Using Cloudant database from Jupyter Notebooks

    Posted Mon May 17, 2021 05:05 PM
    Hello,
    I want to record our data processing results in our cloudant database from watson studio using spark & python environment.
    I found the way to make a connection with the cloudant database from jupyter notebook in this link "https://medium.com/@glynn_bird/using-cloudant-from-jupyter-notebooks-acf36428d65c"
    But I didn't find the password in my Cloudant account's admin credentials.
    How could I connect to the cloudant from watson studio without using the passward?
    Thanks

    Hello Siham, you need to use the service credentials that you can generate by entering Cloudant.
    You will need to reference the username and apikey afterwards. Pls see the code below, it is an example of how to connect to Cloudant and create a pandas data frame.
    Hope this helps.
    Massimo


    import pandas as pd
    !pip install cloudant from cloudant.client import Cloudant

    from cloudant.client import Cloudant
    client = Cloudant.iam(
        "..........................", #username
        "..........................", #apikey 
        connect=True
    )
    
    impo=[]
    
    Connect = client['<name of the db in cloudant>']
    
    for document in Connect:
        impo.append(document)
    
    abl = pd.DataFrame(impo)
    abl.tail()
     
    .... And here a function to create new records in cloudant

    # =============================================================================
    # DB data writing (recording the new record in Cloudant)

    def db_data_writing(credential:dict, db_name:str, files:dict):

    Hello Massino,
    Thank you for your help, It works!
    But I have another problem, I got the error below from writing some input files as a new document:
    "HTTPError: 413 Client Error: Request Entity Too Large document_too_large "
    How could I fix this error?

    Thank you
