I end up creating a lot of datasets and forgetting their names. It would be good to have a command line tool that lists them. Probably just `prodigy dataset --list`.

This already exists – maybe this hasn’t been documented well enough. If so, sorry about that. The functionality is included in the `stats` command:

```bash
prodigy stats -l # stats + list all datasets
prodigy stats -ls # stats + list all datasets and session IDs

```

Hey,

How do I return the list of only the datasets back to a python function as a list? How do you parse through the output of 'prodigy stats -l' command to only get the list of datasets names?

Check out the docs on Prodigy's database API: [Database · Prodigy · An annotation tool for AI, Machine Learning & NLP](https://prodi.gy/docs/api-database#database) To get all dataset names, you can use the property `db.datasets`. The source of the `stats` command is also included with Prodigy btw, so you can also have a look at specific things tthere and see how it's done 🙂
