Introduction

Labric is a platform for managing scientific data, lab instruments, and automated analysis workflows. The Labric API gives you programmatic access to your data — query datasets, manage files, trigger jobs, and more.

Base URL

All API requests are made to:

https://platform.labric.co/api

Authentication

Authenticate by including your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

$
curl https://platform.labric.co/api/files \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lbk_your_api_key"

API keys use the format lbk_<prefix>_<secret>. Each key can be scoped to read, write, or admin permissions.

Getting an API key

1. Log in to Labric
2. Go to Settings > API Keys
3. Click New, give your key a name, and select the scopes you need
4. Copy the key immediately — it won’t be shown again

Using the Python SDK

If you’re working in a Labric Job, you don’t need to manage keys at all. The environment is pre-configured with a LABRIC_API_KEY and the SDK is available out of the box:

1
from labric import Labric
2
3
client = Labric()

Core resources
