Can we expose REST API using Databricks python notebook?

[Muni]

We are trying to expose a REST API endpoint using python notebook. Does databricks allow this?

[PriyaAnanthram]

Not very clear are you trying to run a job using REST API endpoint

something like this Execute Databricks Jobs via REST API in Postman (mssqltips.com) ?

@Priya Ananthram​ No, that's not what we are looking for; we are already aware of Databricks REST API. But we are looking for a way to expose a custom REST API from Databricks. (Say: to add a two number , when we submit input data to an HTTP via REST API )

I dont think you can do that thats more like a webservice happy to be corrected by the databricks community

• You can query tables in your metastore using JDBC drivers etc., so create tables, and then you can query them from your web service,
• There is also an API service for consuming ML models.

If you clarify what exactly you want to expose in REST API, it would be easier to help.
