Replace editable fields for an experiment.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer

Use your Respan API key for Respan API authentication. Enter only the Respan API key value; clients send Authorization: Bearer <RESPAN_API_KEY>. For /api/responses, OpenAI or Azure OpenAI provider credentials go in Settings -> Providers or the request body credential_override field, not in this auth field.

AuthorizationBearer

Use a dashboard JWT only for dashboard-authenticated endpoints. Respan API-key endpoints use the respanApiKey auth field instead.

Path parameters

experiment_idstringRequired

Experiment ID returned as id in experiment responses.

Request

Update editable experiment fields. evaluator_ids is accepted as an alias for evaluator_slugs.

dataset_idstringOptional

Dataset ID to process.

workflowlist of objectsOptional

Workflow tasks to run for each dataset row.

evaluator_idslist of stringsOptional

Preferred evaluator identifiers for scoring. Mutually exclusive with evaluator_workflow_ids.

evaluator_slugslist of stringsOptional

Backward-compatible alias for evaluator_ids. If both are provided, evaluator_ids takes precedence.

evaluator_workflow_idslist of stringsOptional

WorkflowVersion IDs configured for eval-only scoring. Mutually exclusive with evaluator IDs/slugs.

experiment_idstringOptional

Optional client-provided experiment ID. The backend generates one when omitted.

namestringOptional

Experiment name.

descriptionstringOptional

Experiment description.

span_workflow_namestringOptionalDefaults to workflow

Root workflow span name.

enable_tracingbooleanOptionalDefaults to true

Whether to create trace logs.

batch_sizeintegerOptionalDefaults to 100

Batch size for processing.

concurrencyintegerOptionalDefaults to 15

Number of concurrent workers.

generation_methodstringOptional

Optional evaluation generation method override.
