API for sample name

maryandjesse

Is there any python API that returns a list of all the imported sample names?
I'm trying creating selection groups using python code, and it can tell where is signal or background, and with a list of target group names and a list of group types it can make selection groups.
And with a list of sample names, it would be easy to generate the group name list and group type list.

You can get the name of any laser log sample via

for samp in data.laserLogSamples():
	print(f"SampName: {samp.sampleName()}")

Is that what you are looking for?

Thank you for your reply. but I don't have a laser log, and lasorLogSamples returns empty. My sample names come from xml samplename field.

The ability to get sample metadata from mass spec files was not in the python API. I've just added it now and it will be in the next release. It would work similar to what Bence posted, e.g.,

for samp in data.massSpecSamples():
    print(f"SampName: {samp.sampleName()}")
