update_session

ApiSession update_session(body)

Update Session

Update API Session #### API Session Workspace You can use this endpoint to change the active workspace for the current API session. Only one workspace can be active in a session. The active workspace can be changed any number of times in a session. The default workspace for API sessions is the "production" workspace. All Looker APIs that use projects or lookml models (such as running queries) will use the version of project and model files defined by this workspace for the lifetime of the current API session or until the session workspace is changed again. An API session has the same lifetime as the access_token used to authenticate API requests. Each successful API login generates a new access_token and a new API session. If your Looker API client application needs to work in a dev workspace across multiple API sessions, be sure to select the dev workspace after each login.

Example

from __future__ import print_statement
import time
import lookerapi
from lookerapi.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint

# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = lookerapi.SessionApi()
body = lookerapi.ApiSession() # ApiSession | Session

try: 
    # Update Session
    api_response = api_instance.update_session(body)
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling SessionApi->update_session: %s\n" % e)
