Pipeline Methods¶

The pipeline methods are the blocks that construct the end-user request flow

API request flow through the four functions

`load_model`¶

pipeline.load_model()¶

Load model and its assets to memory

Returns:	Model, will be used by the predict and process functions

pipeline.verify_input(json_data)¶

Verifies the validity of an API request content

Parameters:	json_data (dict) – Parsed JSON accepted from API call
Returns:	Data for the the process function

pipeline.process(model, json_data)¶

Process the json_data passed from verify_input to model ready data

Parameters:	model – Loaded object from load_model function json_data – Data from the verify_input function
Returns:	Model ready data

pipeline.predict(model, data)¶

Predicts and prepares the answer for the API-caller

Parameters:	model – Loaded object from load_model function data – Data from process function
Returns:	Response to API-caller
Return type:	dict
