Retrieve labels

async AsyncCogniteClient.labels.retrieve(
external_id: str | SequenceNotStr[str],
ignore_unknown_ids: bool = False,
) → LabelDefinition | LabelDefinitionList | None

Retrieve one or more label definitions by external id.

Deprecated since version 8.23.0: The Labels API is deprecated and is scheduled for removal on 2027-12-31. There is no direct replacement; model labels as a concept in your data model. See https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/deprecated for details and migration guidance.

Parameters:
  • external_id (str | SequenceNotStr[str]) – External ID or list of external ids

  • ignore_unknown_ids (bool) – If True, ignore IDs and external IDs that are not found rather than throw an exception.

Returns:

The requested label definition(s)

Return type:

LabelDefinition | LabelDefinitionList | None

Examples

>>> res = client.labels.retrieve(external_id="my_label", ignore_unknown_ids=True)
