How can an already existing jupyter notebook be activated on a jupyter server solely using REST API?

edit

To activate an already existing Jupyter Notebook on a Jupyter server using REST API, you can follow these steps:

1. Use the Jupyter REST API to get a list of available notebooks on the server. For example, you can use the URL /api/contents to get a list of all files and directories in the current working directory.

2. Parse the response data to identify the notebook you want to activate based on the notebook name or other metadata.

3. Use the Jupyter REST API to launch the notebook in a new browser window. For example, you can use the URL /api/notebooks/{notebook_id}/open to launch the notebook associated with the specified notebook_id.

4. Use the Jupyter REST API to communicate with the notebook, such as executing cells or retrieving output.

Note that to use the Jupyter REST API, you will need to have a valid Jupyter server running and you will need to authenticate with the server. Depending on the server configuration, you may need to provide a username and password or authentication token in your API requests.
