Summary

A self-contained HTML page that runs a Deepnote notebook and renders its outputs, driven by one Run button pointed at one configurable endpoint that defaults to https://api.deepnote.com — so the common case needs no configuration at all.

const APP_CONFIG = {
  notebookId: null,
  notebookName: 'Dashboard',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.deepnote.com',
  inputs: [],
}

Point baseUrl elsewhere and the same /v2/runs surface serves a local Deepnote server:

# Cloud — the default, nothing to configure
http://127.0.0.1:<port>?notebookId=<id>&token=<token>

# A local Deepnote server, same endpoints
http://127.0.0.1:<port>?notebookId=<id>&baseUrl=http://localhost:8080

The app targets one at a time, so there is a single request path and a single result shape to render — rather than separate cloud and local buttons whose visibility depends on probing for a local server.

How it works

  1. POST {baseUrl}/v2/runs to trigger
  2. GET {baseUrl}/v2/runs/{runId}?snapshotDelivery=inline to poll
  3. Parse the returned snapshot YAML client-side with the existing snapshot-reader.iife.js bundle
  4. Render outputs — tables, charts, text, HTML

Token acquisition: on deepnote.com the page asks the shell via postMessage (deepnote-static-files-api-token-request) and gets a short-lived project-scoped token; elsewhere it accepts ?token=.

serve.mjs is for local development only and has no API routes — runs never pass through it. Its only job is mapping /snapshot-reader.js to the built bundle so there's no copy step. That's why it's 45 lines.

Dependencies — none

This branches directly off main and depends on no other open PR. main already builds snapshot-reader.iife.js (packages/local-runner/tsdown.config.ts) and already hosts sibling examples under examples/local-runner/. Nothing outside examples/local-runner/cloud-app/ changes except a one-word cspell.json entry for deepnoteworkspace, the domain the README documents.

One forward reference to flag: the README's "Publishing to deepnote.com" section uses deepnote publish, which ships in #455. It is documentation only — nothing in the app calls it — but if this merges first, that section describes a command not yet on main.

Test plan

  • pnpm test — 2894 passed, 1 skipped
  • pnpm spell-check — 0 issues
  • pnpm biome:check — clean (the two noConsole warnings in serve.mjs match gallery/, run-app/, and snapshot-viewer/ on main)
  • node examples/local-runner/cloud-app/serve.mjs serves the page and /snapshot-reader.js
  • Cloud run against the default api.deepnote.com with ?token= renders outputs
  • ?baseUrl=http://localhost:8080 drives the same code path against a local server
  • On deepnote.com, the postMessage token flow works with no baseUrl set

  • Chores

    • Added the app name to the spell-check dictionary.

…endpoint

Adds examples/local-runner/cloud-app — a self-contained HTML page that runs
a Deepnote notebook and renders its outputs, with no server involved in the
run itself.

One configurable endpoint drives it, defaulting to https://api.deepnote.com,
so the common case needs no configuration at all:

  const APP_CONFIG = { baseUrl: 'https://api.deepnote.com', ... }

Point baseUrl elsewhere with ?baseUrl= and the same /v2/runs surface serves a
local Deepnote server. The app targets one at a time, so there is a single Run
button, a single request path, and a single result shape to render — rather
than separate cloud and local buttons whose visibility depends on probing for
a local server.

The page triggers POST /v2/runs, polls GET /v2/runs/{runId} with inline
snapshot delivery, and parses the returned YAML client-side with the existing
snapshot-reader IIFE bundle. On deepnote.com it acquires a bearer token from
the shell via postMessage; elsewhere it accepts ?token=.

serve.mjs is a static file server for local development only. Its sole job is
mapping /snapshot-reader.js to the built bundle so there is no copy step; it
has no API routes, because runs never go through it.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a standalone Deepnote browser app for configuring notebook inputs, running notebooks through cloud or local APIs, viewing run history, and rendering snapshot outputs. Adds token handling, polling, timeout and stale-result protection, sandboxed HTML output, and responsive styling. Adds a localhost development server, usage documentation, and a spelling dictionary entry.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a5b24

The page can send a Deepnote bearer token to an arbitrary API origin and accepts tokens in query strings that may leak through browser history, copied URLs, or logs. Because this can expose project-scoped credentials, the PR is not merge-ready until token forwarding and token transport are restricted.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not send a Deepnote token to a query-selected API origin.

Line 221 accepts any baseUrl. Lines 381-386 then acquire a Deepnote token, and apiHeaders() sends it to that origin. A crafted Deepnote URL can therefore send the bearer token to an attacker-controlled CORS server.

Restrict hosted Deepnote runs to trusted API origins. Also attach a parent-provided token only when APP_CONFIG.baseUrl has the exact trusted origin.

Proposed fix
-      if (params.get('baseUrl')) APP_CONFIG.baseUrl = params.get('baseUrl')
+      if (params.get('baseUrl') && !isDeepnote) APP_CONFIG.baseUrl = params.get('baseUrl')

+      function isTrustedDeepnoteApi() {
+        try {
+          return new URL(APP_CONFIG.baseUrl).origin === 'https://api.deepnote.com'
+        } catch {
+          return false
+        }
+      }
+
       function apiHeaders() {
         const h = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
-        if (apiToken) h.Authorization = `Bearer ${apiToken}`
+        if (apiToken && (!isDeepnote || isTrustedDeepnoteApi())) {
+          h.Authorization = `Bearer ${apiToken}`
+        }
         return h
       }

Do not expose the bearer token in the query string.

?token=... places the token in browser history and copied URLs. It can also enter request logs. Read it from a URL fragment, or remove it with history.replaceState immediately after bootstrap. Update the README and the app together.

Superseded — rather than adding a second app, the one-Run-button/configurable-endpoint change is being applied to the existing serveStatic dynamic-app machinery and the run-app example. Branch feat/cloud-app-one-endpoint stays pushed if this code is wanted later.
