lamindb.connect .md

lamindb.connect(instance=None, **kwargs)

Connect the default database.

Alternatively, to use a database client, create a DB object.

Parameters:

instance (str | None, default: None) – Pass a slug (account/name) or URL (https://lamin.ai/account/name). If None, looks for an environment variable LAMIN_CURRENT_INSTANCE to get the database instance identifier. If it doesn’t find this variable, it connects to the database that was connected with lamin connect through the CLI.

Return type:

str | tuple | None
