Yes, check out the `Database` API: [https://prodi.gy/docs/api-database#database](https://prodi.gy/docs/api-database#database) For example, here's how you would connect, get all dataset names and get all annotations of a given dataset:

```python
from prodigy.components.db import connect

db = connect()
all_dataset_names = db.datasets
examples = db.get_dataset("my_dataset")

```

The source of the `stats` command/recipe is also shipped with Prodigy, so you can always check it out in `recipes/commands.py` and see how it's done there.
