Find and get information about steps
To get information about a step, we need its name in the environment. You can search its name in the list of step’s name of the environment.

Returns
List of steps represented as dict with the following keys:
name(str): Name of the step.status(str): eitherPendingorReady.created_at(str): The creation date in ISO format.updated_at(str): The last update date in ISO format.repository_branch(str): The branch of the repository where the step was built.repository_url(str): The url of the repository where the step was built.commit_id(str): The commit id on which the step was built.
Get information about one step

parameters(dict): Information used to create the step with the following keys:step_name(str): Name of the step.function_path(str): Path to the file that contains the function.function_name(str): Name of the function in that file.repository_branch(str): Branch name.description(str): Description.inputs(list of dict): List of inputs represented as a dict with the following keys:name(str): Input name.data_type(str): Input data type.is_required(bool): Whether the input is required.default_value(str): Input default value.
outputs(list of dict): List of outputs represented as a dict with the following keys:name(str): Output name.data_type(str): Output data type.description(str): Output description.
container_config(dict[str, str]): Some step configuration, with the following optional keys:language(str): Language and version used for the step.repository_url(str): Remote repository url.included_folders(list[str]): List of folders and files in the repository required for the step execution.system_dependencies(list[str]): List of system dependencies.dockerfile_path(str): Path to the Dockerfile.requirements_path(str): Path to the requirements.txt file.
creation_info(dict): Information about the step creation:created_at(str): The creation date in ISO format.updated_at(str): The last update date in ISO format.commit_id(str): The commit id on which the step was built.status(str): Either "Pending" or "Ready".
Delete steps
Delete steps function
Function definition
Delete step in the environment with his name.
Parameters
step_name(str) – Name of the step to delete as defined in the create step function.force_dependents_deletion(bool, optional) – if True the associated step’s dependencies will be deleted too (pipeline, pipeline executions, deployments). Defaults to False.
Returns
Deleted step represented as dict (with key “name”). The return type is a dict [str, str].
Warning
You can't delete a step that is used in a pipeline.
You must delete the pipeline before or use the force_dependents_deletion parameter during step deletion.
