    Called as a part of saving notebooks.

    Parameters: | nb : dict The notebook structure name : string The filename of the notebook path : string The notebook’s directory

  `copy_notebook`(from_name, to_name=None, path='')

    Copy an existing notebook and return its new model.

    If to_name not specified, increment from_name-Copy#.ipynb.

  `create_checkpoint`(name, path='')

    Create a checkpoint of the current state of a notebook

    Returns a checkpoint_id for the new checkpoint.

  `create_notebook`(model=None, path='')

    Create a new notebook and return its model with no content.

  `delete_checkpoint`(checkpoint_id, name, path='')

    delete a checkpoint for a notebook

  `delete_notebook`(name, path='')

    Delete notebook by name and path.

  `get_dir_model`(name, path='')

    Get the directory model given a directory name and its API style path.

    The keys in the model should be: * name * path * last_modified * created * type=’directory’

  `get_notebook`(name, path='', content=True)

    Get the notebook model with or without content.

        data = sorted(data, key=lambda item: item['name'])

  `mark_trusted_cells`(nb, name, path='')

    Mark cells as trusted if the notebook signature matches.

    Called as a part of loading notebooks.

    Parameters: | nb : dict The notebook structure name : string The filename of the notebook path : string The notebook’s directory

  `notebook_exists`(name, path='')

    Returns a True if the notebook exists. Else, returns False.

    Parameters: | name : string The name of the notebook you are checking. path : string The relative path to the notebook (with ‘/’ as separator)
