View Your API Requests in Our Playground

October 7, 2025

Our Playground makes it easy for folks to evaluate Datalab's API by visualizing request results alongside their inputs.

This capability is wildly helpful when building on top of our API so we've brought the same experience to all requests customers make to our marker endpoint. Now you can just use our visualization tools instead of rolling your own!

To use this feature, head over to your Usage tab and click on the "View In Playground" button on your requests.

For each request you can inspect:

Is there anything else you'd like to be able to audit? If so, send us a note at [email protected].

Note:

  • This feature only works on requests made from when it was released onward. You can't audit older requests.
  • To enable "View in Playground", you must opt into "Platform Features" in your data retention settings, since we need to store your inputs and outputs to enable it.
  • To enable the “Blocks” view for your requests, make sure you additionally request either json or chunks in output_format. You can use a comma delimiter to request multiple formats in output_format, e.g. json,markdown.
