Cool. My mistake was that I forgot ok is a boolean property, not a method 😄 So you can actually do:
is_server_available = requests.get(Session.get_api_server_host() + "/debug.ping").ok
ok basically does what you did yourself 🙂

In your Python script, you can use something like:
` import requests
from trains.backend_api import Session

server_available = requests.get(Session.get_api_server_host() + "/debug.ping").ok() `

the ok() call seem to crash

much appreciated, thanks!

Hi RipeGoose2 , you can use curl http://<server-ip-or-host-name>:8008/debug.ping
The server should return 200 🙂

I'm doing this instead

TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable

edit: tweaked it a little bit for my use-case:
is_demo_server = ' http://demoapi.trains.allegro.ai ' in Session.get_api_server_host()
is_server_available = requests.get(Session.get_api_server_host() + "/debug.ping").status_code == 200
