# Registry Client

:::note
The registry client has no service to talk to right now.

A dataset registry is a catalog of datasets that people publish for others to find and run. The SDK has a client for
one: `RegistryClient`, from `amp.registry`, which a `Client` also has as `client.registry`. Its `datasets` property has
methods to:

* **Find datasets:** `list()`, `search()`, and `ai_search()`.
* **Read a dataset:** `get()`, `list_versions()`, `get_version()`, `get_manifest()`, `describe()`, and `inspect()`.
* **Publish and change datasets:** `publish()`, `publish_version()`, `update()`, `update_visibility()`,
  `update_version_status()`, and `delete_version()`.

[Registry Reference](/sdks/python/reference/registry) has their signatures.
