cellxgene_census.get_census_version_directory
- cellxgene_census.get_census_version_directory(*, lts: bool | None = None, retracted: bool | None = False) dict[str, cellxgene_census._release_directory.CensusVersionDescription]
Get the directory of Census versions currently available, optionally filtering by specified flags. If a filtering flag is not specified, Census versions will not be filtered by that flag. Defaults to including both “long-term stable” (LTS) and weekly Census versions, and excluding retracted versions.
- Parameters:
lts – A filtering flag to either include or exclude long-term stable releases in the result. If
None, no filtering is performed based on this flag. Defaults toNone, which includes both LTS and non-LTS (weekly) versions.retracted – A filtering flag to either include or exclude retracted releases in the result. If
None, no filtering is performed based on this flag. Defaults toFalse, which excludes retracted releases in the result.
- Returns:
A dictionary that contains Census version names and their corresponding descriptions. Census versions are always named by their release date (
YYYY-MM-DD) but may also have aliases. If an alias is specified, the Census version will appear multiple times in the dictionary, once under it’s release date name, and again for each alias. Aliases may be:"stable","latest", or"V#". The"stable"alias is used for the most recent LTS release, the"latest"alias is used for the most recent weekly release, and the"V#"aliases are used to identify LTS releases by a sequentially incrementing version number.
