describe_api· function

describe_text

renders the api snapshot as a compact plain-text summary

Python
describe_text(data: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) -> str

Returns str — a short plain-text human summary of the snapshot

Parameters#

name type default description
data Optional[Dict[str, Any]] None a snapshot from describe_api(); recomputed fresh when omitted

Example#

Python
from lsdtools.advanced import describe_text

print(describe_text())

Pass an existing snapshot to avoid re-introspecting:

Python
from lsdtools import describe_api
from lsdtools.advanced import describe_text

snap = describe_api()
print(describe_text(snap))

Notes#

Lives in lsdtools.advanced, not the top-level surface. When data is omitted it calls describe_api() itself. The output lists the api_version / lsd_version, a public-surface count, then each step (tagged with its kind) and entity with their required and optional parameter names — a human summary, not machine-readable JSON.
