9.3 Using Datasets via the BigML API

Datasets as well as all BigML Resources can also be used through the BigML API, which allows you to programmatically create, update, list, delete, and use your dataset for models creation, and later make predictions with them. Create a dataset with custom values for a few available options, after properly setting the BIGML_AUTH environment variable to contain your authentication credentials:

curl "https://bigml.io/dataset?$BIGML_AUTH" \
     -X POST \
     -H 'content-type: application/json' \
     -d '{"source":"source/50a4527b3c1920186d000041", "name": "my dataset"}'

For more information on using datasets through the BigML API, please refer to the dataset REST API documentation.
