mlflow.client

The mlflow.client module provides a Python CRUD interface to MLflow Experiments, Runs, Model Versions, and Registered Models. This is a lower level API that directly translates to MLflow REST API calls. For a higher level API for managing an “active run”, use the mlflow module.

class mlflow.client.MlflowClient(tracking_uri: Optional[str] = None, registry_uri: Optional[str] = None)

Bases: object

Client of an MLflow Tracking Server that creates and manages experiments and runs, and of an MLflow Registry Server that creates and manages registered models and model versions. It’s a thin wrapper around TrackingServiceClient and RegistryClient so there is a unified API but we can keep the implementation of the tracking and registry clients independent from each other.

copy_model_version(src_model_uri, dst_name) → ModelVersion

Copy a model version from one registered model to another as a new model version.

Parameters

• src_model_uri – The model URI of the model version to copy. This must be a model registry URI with a “models:/” scheme (e.g., “models:/iris_model@champion”).

• dst_name – The name of the registered model to copy the model version to. If a registered model with this name does not exist, it will be created.

Returns

Single mlflow.entities.model_registry.ModelVersion object representing the copied model version.

Example

import mlflow.sklearn
from mlflow import MlflowClient
from mlflow.models import infer_signature
from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor


def print_model_version_info(mv):
    print(f"Name: {mv.name}")
    print(f"Version: {mv.version}")
    print(f"Source: {mv.source}")


mlflow.set_tracking_uri("sqlite:///mlruns.db")
X, y = make_regression(n_features=4, n_informative=2, random_state=0, shuffle=False)

# Log a model
with mlflow.start_run() as run:
    params = {"n_estimators": 3, "random_state": 42}
    rfr = RandomForestRegressor(**params).fit(X, y)
    signature = infer_signature(X, rfr.predict(X))
    mlflow.log_params(params)
    mlflow.sklearn.log_model(rfr, artifact_path="sklearn-model", signature=signature)

# Create source model version
client = MlflowClient()
src_name = "RandomForestRegression-staging"
client.create_registered_model(src_name)
src_uri = f"runs:/{run.info.run_id}/sklearn-model"
mv_src = client.create_model_version(src_name, src_uri, run.info.run_id)
print_model_version_info(mv_src)
print("--")

# Copy the source model version into a new registered model
dst_name = "RandomForestRegression-production"
src_model_uri = f"models:/{mv_src.name}/{mv_src.version}"
mv_copy = client.copy_model_version(src_model_uri, dst_name)
print_model_version_info(mv_copy)

delete_trace_tag(request_id: str, key: str) → None

Note

Experimental: This function may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

Delete a tag on the trace with the given trace ID.

The trace can be an active one or the one that has already ended and recorded in the backend. Below is an example of deleting a tag on an active trace. You can replace the request_id parameter to delete a tag on an already ended trace.

from mlflow import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()

root_span = client.start_trace("my_trace", tags={"key": "value"})
client.delete_trace_tag(root_span.request_id, "key")
client.end_trace(root_span.request_id)

Parameters

• request_id – The ID of the trace to delete the tag from.

• key – The string key of the tag. Must be at most 250 characters long, otherwise it will be truncated when stored.

delete_traces(experiment_id: str, max_timestamp_millis: Optional[int] = None, max_traces: Optional[int] = None, request_ids: Optional[List[str]] = None) → int

Note

Experimental: This function may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

Delete traces based on the specified criteria.

• Either max_timestamp_millis or request_ids must be specified, but not both.

• max_traces can’t be specified if request_ids is specified.

Parameters

• experiment_id – ID of the associated experiment.

• max_timestamp_millis – The maximum timestamp in milliseconds since the UNIX epoch for deleting traces. Traces older than or equal to this timestamp will be deleted.

• max_traces – The maximum number of traces to delete. If max_traces is specified, and it is less than the number of traces that would be deleted based on the max_timestamp_millis, the oldest traces will be deleted first.

• request_ids – A set of request IDs to delete.

Returns

The number of traces deleted.

Example:

import mlflow
import time

client = mlflow.MlflowClient()

# Delete all traces in the experiment
client.delete_traces(
    experiment_id="0", max_timestamp_millis=time.time_ns() // 1_000_000
)

# Delete traces based on max_timestamp_millis and max_traces
# Older traces will be deleted first.
some_timestamp = time.time_ns() // 1_000_000
client.delete_traces(
    experiment_id="0", max_timestamp_millis=some_timestamp, max_traces=2
)

# Delete traces based on request_ids
client.delete_traces(experiment_id="0", request_ids=["id_1", "id_2"])

download_artifacts(run_id: str, path: str, dst_path: Optional[str] = None) → str

Download an artifact file or directory from a run to a local directory if applicable, and return a local path for it.

Parameters

• run_id – The run to download artifacts from.

• path – Relative source path to the desired artifact.

• dst_path – Absolute path of the local filesystem destination directory to which to download the specified artifacts. This directory must already exist. If unspecified, the artifacts will either be downloaded to a new uniquely-named directory on the local filesystem or will be returned directly in the case of the LocalArtifactRepository.

Returns

Local path of desired artifact.

Note

Experimental: This function may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

End the span with the given trace ID and span ID.

Parameters

• request_id – The ID of the trace to end.

• span_id – The ID of the span to end.

• outputs – Outputs to set on the span.

• attributes – A dictionary of attributes to set on the span. If the span already has attributes, the new attributes will be merged with the existing ones. If the same key already exists, the new value will overwrite the old one.

• status – The status of the span. This can be a SpanStatus object or a string representing the status code defined in SpanStatusCode e.g. "OK", "ERROR". The default status is OK.

• end_time_ns – The end time of the span in nano seconds since the UNIX epoch. If not provided, the current time will be used.

end_trace(request_id: str, outputs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, attributes: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, status: Union[SpanStatus, str] = 'OK')

Note

Experimental: This function may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

End the trace with the given trace ID. This will end the root span of the trace and log the trace to the backend if configured.

If any of children spans are not ended, they will be ended forcefully with the status TRACE_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED. If the trace is already ended, this method will have no effect.

Parameters

• request_id – The ID of the trace to end.

• outputs – Outputs to set on the trace.

• attributes – A dictionary of attributes to set on the trace. If the trace already has attributes, the new attributes will be merged with the existing ones. If the same key already exists, the new value will overwrite the old one.

• status – The status of the trace. This can be a SpanStatus object or a string representing the status code defined in SpanStatusCode e.g. "OK", "ERROR". The default status is OK.

log_batch(run_id: str, metrics: Sequence[Metric] = (), params: Sequence[Param] = (), tags: Sequence[RunTag] = (), synchronous: Optional[bool] = None) → Optional[mlflow.utils.async_logging.run_operations.RunOperations]

Log multiple metrics, params, and/or tags.

Parameters

• run_id – String ID of the run

• metrics – If provided, List of Metric(key, value, timestamp) instances.

• params – If provided, List of Param(key, value) instances.

• tags – If provided, List of RunTag(key, value) instances.

log_dict(run_id: str, dictionary: Dict[str, Any], artifact_file: str) → None

Log a JSON/YAML-serializable object (e.g. dict) as an artifact. The serialization format (JSON or YAML) is automatically inferred from the extension of artifact_file. If the file extension doesn’t exist or match any of [“.json”, “.yml”, “.yaml”], JSON format is used, and we stringify objects that can’t be JSON-serialized.

Parameters

• run_id – String ID of the run.

• dictionary – Dictionary to log.

• artifact_file – The run-relative artifact file path in posixpath format to which the dictionary is saved (e.g. “dir/data.json”).

Example

from mlflow import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()
run = client.create_run(experiment_id="0")
run_id = run.info.run_id

dictionary = {"k": "v"}

# Log a dictionary as a JSON file under the run's root artifact directory
client.log_dict(run_id, dictionary, "data.json")

# Log a dictionary as a YAML file in a subdirectory of the run's root artifact directory
client.log_dict(run_id, dictionary, "dir/data.yml")

# If the file extension doesn't exist or match any of [".json", ".yaml", ".yml"],
# JSON format is used.
mlflow.log_dict(run_id, dictionary, "data")
mlflow.log_dict(run_id, dictionary, "data.txt")

log_figure(run_id: str, figure: Union[matplotlib.figure.Figure, plotly.graph_objects.Figure], artifact_file: str, *, save_kwargs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) → None

Log a figure as an artifact. The following figure objects are supported:

• matplotlib.figure.Figure

• plotly.graph_objects.Figure

Parameters

• run_id – String ID of the run.

• figure – Figure to log.

• artifact_file – The run-relative artifact file path in posixpath format to which the figure is saved (e.g. “dir/file.png”).

• save_kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to the method that saves the figure.

Matplotlib Example

import mlflow
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([0, 1], [2, 3])

run = client.create_run(experiment_id="0")
client.log_figure(run.info.run_id, fig, "figure.png")

Plotly Example

import mlflow
from plotly import graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(x=[0, 1], y=[2, 3]))

run = client.create_run(experiment_id="0")
client.log_figure(run.info.run_id, fig, "figure.html")

log_image(run_id: str, image: Union[numpy.ndarray, PIL.Image.Image, mlflow.Image], artifact_file: Optional[str] = None, key: Optional[str] = None, step: Optional[int] = None, timestamp: Optional[int] = None, synchronous: Optional[bool] = None) → None

Logs an image in MLflow, supporting two use cases:

1. Time-stepped image logging:

   Ideal for tracking changes or progressions through iterative processes (e.g., during model training phases).

   • Usage: log_image(image, key=key, step=step, timestamp=timestamp)

2. Artifact file image logging:

   Best suited for static image logging where the image is saved directly as a file artifact.

   • Usage: log_image(image, artifact_file)

The following image formats are supported:

• numpy.ndarray

• PIL.Image.Image

• mlflow.Image: An MLflow wrapper around PIL image for convenient image logging.

Numpy array support

• data types:

  • bool (useful for logging image masks)

  • integer [0, 255]

  • unsigned integer [0, 255]

  • float [0.0, 1.0]

  Warning

  • Out-of-range integer values will raise ValueError.

  • Out-of-range float values will auto-scale with min/max and warn.

• shape (H: height, W: width):

  • H x W (Grayscale)

  • H x W x 1 (Grayscale)

  • H x W x 3 (an RGB channel order is assumed)

  • H x W x 4 (an RGBA channel order is assumed)

Parameters

• run_id – String ID of run.

• image – The image object to be logged.

• artifact_file – Specifies the path, in POSIX format, where the image will be stored as an artifact relative to the run’s root directory (for example, “dir/image.png”). This parameter is kept for backward compatibility and should not be used together with key, step, or timestamp.

• key – Image name for time-stepped image logging. This string may only contain alphanumerics, underscores (_), dashes (-), periods (.), spaces ( ), and slashes (/).

• step – Integer training step (iteration) at which the image was saved. Defaults to 0.

• timestamp – Time when this image was saved. Defaults to the current system time.

log_inputs(run_id: str, datasets: Optional[Sequence[DatasetInput]] = None) → None

Log one or more dataset inputs to a run.

Parameters

• run_id – String ID of the run.

• datasets – List of mlflow.entities.DatasetInput instances to log.

Raises

mlflow.MlflowException – If any errors occur.

Log a metric against the run ID.

Parameters

• run_id – The run id to which the metric should be logged.

• key – Metric name. This string may only contain alphanumerics, underscores (_), dashes (-), periods (.), spaces ( ), and slashes (/). All backend stores will support keys up to length 250, but some may support larger keys.

• value – Metric value. Note that some special values such as +/- Infinity may be replaced by other values depending on the store. For example, the SQLAlchemy store replaces +/- Inf with max / min float values. All backend stores will support values up to length 5000, but some may support larger values.

• timestamp – Time when this metric was calculated. Defaults to the current system time.

• step – Integer training step (iteration) at which was the metric calculated. Defaults to 0.

• synchronous – Experimental If True, blocks until the metric is logged successfully. If False, logs the metric asynchronously and returns a future representing the logging operation. If None, read from environment variable MLFLOW_ENABLE_ASYNC_LOGGING, which defaults to False if not set.

Returns

When synchronous=True or None, returns None. When synchronous=False, returns an mlflow.utils.async_logging.run_operations.RunOperations instance that represents future for logging operation.

Search for registered models in backend that satisfy the filter criteria.

Parameters

• filter_string –

  Filter query string (e.g., “name = ‘a_model_name’ and tag.key = ‘value1’”), defaults to searching for all registered models. The following identifiers, comparators, and logical operators are supported.

  Identifiers

  • name: registered model name.

  • tags.<tag_key>: registered model tag. If tag_key contains spaces, it must be wrapped with backticks (e.g., “tags.`extra key`”).

  Comparators

  • =: Equal to.

  • !=: Not equal to.

  • LIKE: Case-sensitive pattern match.

  • ILIKE: Case-insensitive pattern match.

  Logical operators

  • AND: Combines two sub-queries and returns True if both of them are True.

• max_results – Maximum number of registered models desired.

• order_by – List of column names with ASC|DESC annotation, to be used for ordering matching search results.

• page_token – Token specifying the next page of results. It should be obtained from a search_registered_models call.

set_tag(run_id: str, key: str, value: Any, synchronous: Optional[bool] = None) → Optional[mlflow.utils.async_logging.run_operations.RunOperations]

Set a tag on the run with the specified ID. Value is converted to a string.

Parameters

• run_id – String ID of the run.

• key – Tag name. This string may only contain alphanumerics, underscores (_), dashes (-), periods (.), spaces ( ), and slashes (/). All backend stores will support keys up to length 250, but some may support larger keys.

  Tag value, but will be string-ified if not. All backend stores will support

  values up to length 5000, but some may support larger values.

  synchronous: Experimental If True, blocks until the metric is logged successfully.

  If False, logs the metric asynchronously and returns a future representing the logging operation. If None, read from environment variable MLFLOW_ENABLE_ASYNC_LOGGING, which defaults to False if not set.

Returns

When synchronous=True or None, returns None. When synchronous=False, returns an mlflow.utils.async_logging.run_operations.RunOperations instance that represents future for logging operation.

set_trace_tag(request_id: str, key: str, value: str)

Note

Experimental: This function may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

Set a tag on the trace with the given trace ID.

The trace can be an active one or the one that has already ended and recorded in the backend. Below is an example of setting a tag on an active trace. You can replace the request_id parameter to set a tag on an already ended trace.

from mlflow import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()

root_span = client.start_trace("my_trace")
client.set_trace_tag(root_span.request_id, "key", "value")
client.end_trace(root_span.request_id)

Parameters

• request_id – The ID of the trace to set the tag on.

• key – The string key of the tag. Must be at most 250 characters long, otherwise it will be truncated when stored.

• value – The string value of the tag. Must be at most 250 characters long, otherwise it will be truncated when stored.

start_span(name: str, request_id: str, parent_id: str, span_type: str = 'UNKNOWN', inputs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, attributes: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, start_time_ns: Optional[int] = None) → Span

Note

Experimental: This function may change or be removed in a future release without warning.

Create a new span and start it without attaching it to the global trace context.

This is an imperative API to manually create a new span under a specific trace id and parent span, unlike the higher-level APIs like @mlflow.trace decorator and with mlflow.start_span() context manager, which automatically manage the span lifecycle and parent-child relationship.

This API is useful for the case where the automatic context management is not sufficient, such as callback-based instrumentation where span start and end are not in the same call stack, or multi-threaded applications where the context is not propagated automatically.

This API requires a parent span ID to be provided explicitly. If you haven’t started any span yet, use the start_trace() method to start a new trace and a root span.

Warning

The span created with this method needs to be ended explicitly by calling the end_span() method. Otherwise the span will be recorded with the incorrect end time and status TRACE_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED.

Tip

Instead of creating a root span with the start_trace() method, you can also use this method within the context of a parent span created by the fluent APIs like @mlflow.trace and with mlflow.start_span(), by passing its span ids the parent. This flexibility allows you to use the imperative APIs in conjunction with the fluent APIs like below:

import mlflow
from mlflow import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()

with mlflow.start_span("parent_span") as parent_span:
    child_span = client.start_span(
        name="child_span",
        request_id=parent_span.request_id,
        parent_id=parent_span.span_id,
    )

    # Do something...

    client.end_span(
        request_id=parent_span.request_id,
        span_id=child_span.span_id,
    )

However, the opposite does not work. You cannot use the fluent APIs within the span created by this MlflowClient API. This is because the fluent APIs fetches the current span from the managed context, which is not set by the MLflow Client APIs. Once you create a span with the MLflow Client APIs, all children spans must be created with the MLflow Client APIs. Please be cautious when using this mixed approach, as it can lead to unexpected behavior if not used properly.

Parameters

• name – The name of the span.

• request_id – The ID of the trace to attach the span to. This is synonym to trace_id` in OpenTelemetry.

• span_type – The type of the span. Can be either a string or a SpanType enum value.

• parent_id – The ID of the parent span. The parent span can be a span created by both fluent APIs like with mlflow.start_span(), and imperative APIs like this.

• inputs – Inputs to set on the span.

• attributes – A dictionary of attributes to set on the span.

• start_time_ns – The start time of the span in nano seconds since the UNIX epoch. If not provided, the current time will be used.

Returns

An mlflow.entities.Span object representing the span.

Example:

from mlflow import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()

span = client.start_trace("my_trace")

x = 2

# Create a child span
child_span = client.start_span(
    "child_span",
    request_id=span.request_id,
    parent_id=span.span_id,
    inputs={"x": x},
)

y = x**2

client.end_span(
    request_id=child_span.request_id,
    span_id=child_span.span_id,
    attributes={"factor": 2},
    outputs={"y": y},
)

client.end_trace(span.request_id)

start_trace(name: str, span_type: str = 'UNKNOWN', inputs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, attributes: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, tags: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, experiment_id: Optional[str] = None) → Span

Create a new trace object and start a root span under it.

This is an imperative API to manually create a new span under a specific trace id and parent span, unlike the higher-level APIs like @mlflow.trace and with mlflow.start_span(), which automatically manage the span lifecycle and parent-child relationship. You only need to call this method when using the start_span() method of MlflowClient to create spans.

Attention

A trace started with this method must be ended by calling MlflowClient().end_trace(request_id). Otherwise the trace will be not recorded.

Parameters

• name – The name of the trace (and the root span).

• span_type – The type of the span.

• inputs – Inputs to set on the root span of the trace.

• attributes – A dictionary of attributes to set on the root span of the trace.

• tags – A dictionary of tags to set on the trace.

• experiment_id – The ID of the experiment to create the trace in. If not provided, MLflow will look for valid experiment in the following order: activated using mlflow.set_experiment(), MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME environment variable, MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_ID environment variable, or the default experiment as defined by the tracking server.

Returns

An Span object representing the root span of the trace.

Example:

from mlflow import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()

root_span = client.start_trace("my_trace")
request_id = root_span.request_id

# Create a child span
child_span = client.start_span(
    "child_span", request_id=request_id, parent_id=root_span.span_id
)
# Do something...
client.end_span(request_id=request_id, span_id=child_span.span_id)

client.end_trace(request_id)
