WatsonApiException: Error: The Preview API was removed on 2019-09-30


I am trying to access the IBM Watson Discovery API (Free Trial) using the piece of code below:

with open(filename, "r") as f:
    res = discovery.test_configuration_in_environment(environment_id=env_id, configuration_id=cfg_id, file=f).get_result()

You can view the full code file here: https://github.com/udacity/AIND-NLP-Bookworm/blob/master/bookworm.ipynb. I am getting the following error on running this:

WatsonApiException: Error: The Preview API was removed on 2019-09-30., Code: 410 , X-dp-watson-tran-id: 569fbd407a75c23f850522571bddee26 , X-global-transaction-id: 569fbd407a75c23f850522571bddee26

Any known workarounds?


Solution

  • As per the release notes and the response you are seeing the Preview API was deprecated on the 4th June 2019 - https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/discovery?topic=discovery-release-notes#4jun19 - and removed on the 30 Sept 2019 - https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/discovery?topic=discovery-release-notes

    The Discovery API is still available - https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/discovery/discovery , just not the preview method.

    What is it that you are trying to do?
