List topics

List topics in a dataset.

Consistency: Eventually Consistent (for API version >= 2026-03-13)

  • Clients using API version < 2026-03-13: Strongly consistent reads
  • Clients using API version >= 2026-03-13: Eventually consistent reads
  • Override: Send X-Roboto-Connection-Consistency header to explicitly control behavior

This endpoint uses eventual consistency for improved performance and scalability. Results may not immediately reflect very recent writes. If you’ve just created or updated topics and don’t see them in the results, retry after a brief delay.

canonical_data_typeCanonicalDataTyperequired

Normalized data types used across different robotics frameworks.

Well-known and simplified data types that provide a common vocabulary for describing message path data types across different frameworks and technologies. These canonical types are primarily used for UI rendering decisions and cross-platform compatibility.

The canonical types abstract away framework-specific details while preserving the essential characteristics needed for data processing and visualization.

400

Thrown when the conversation context (messages, system prompt, tool results) exceeds the model's context window limit.

The token estimate and the model's context limit are not carried on the exception, so a caller cannot read usage numbers off it.

500

An error the platform reported that this SDK release cannot resolve to a specific exception class.

Reported for an element of a :py:class:~roboto.http.BatchResponse whose error names a code this release defines no class for, or that arrived without a code, without a message, or as text that is not an error envelope at all. It carries whatever code and message the platform sent, so a caller handling the failure still learns what went wrong; when no message could be read, the message is the error's raw text.

The error envelope carries no status code, so http_status_code reports the 500 inherited from :py:class:RobotoDomainException rather than the status the failure actually had.
