Can I no longer submit predictions as a CSV file?

Tournament

Back in July, I tried to submit my usual CSV file prediction, but it was not accepted as usual.

It seems that a PKL (pickled Python program?) is now required.

Is there no longer a way to run my own models on my own machine, and submit the results in CSV format?

Hi, nice to see you back. You can still do it – problem must be something else. Are you getting a particular error or…?

Hi Wigglemuse! I was guessing it’d be you, who’d extend the helping hand.

One Saturday in July, after making my CSV file, I attempted to submit it the same way I did the previous Saturday – but Numerai wasn’t having it! It was demanding PKL.

The way I had been submitting: click a link on the “Submissions” page, which opens a dialog box, for selecting the file to submit. One Saturday it accepted CSV, the next Saturday it wouldn’t.

Perhaps to submit CSV, I’ll have to submit via Numerapi?

Sounds like you are just hitting the wrong button. The one on the left with the cloud is the pkl button – it is the third button from the right (plain up arrow) that you want for a csv file.

Do you have a working example of automated csv (predictions) submission via api ? Because nothing of this works // import numerapi
api = numerapi.NumerAPI(public_id=publicId, secret_key=secretKey)
model_id = api.get_models()[“model_name”] # neither with directly uuid model id
api.upload_predictions(predName, model_id=model_id)

Thanks for any help!

Your code looks fine.

What error are you getting?

Could be bad API key or invalid predictions.

Thanks, imports were not correct // Here is an auto uploads script that actually works, check out numerai-crypto-helper on github
