Python Client SDK for Unstructured API
Python SDK for the Unstructured API
This is a Python client for the Unstructured API.
pip install unstructured-client
Only the files
parameter is required. See the general partition page for all available parameters.
from unstructured_client import UnstructuredClient
from unstructured_client.models import shared
from unstructured_client.models.errors import SDKError
s = UnstructuredClient(api_key_auth="YOUR_API_KEY")
filename = "sample-docs/layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf"
with open(filename, "rb") as f:
# Note that this currently only supports a single file
files=shared.Files(
content=f.read(),
file_name=filename,
)
req = shared.PartitionParameters(
files=files,
# Other partition params
strategy='ocr_only',
languages=["eng"],
)
try:
resp = s.general.partition(req)
print(resp.elements[0])
except SDKError as e:
print(e)
# {
# 'type': 'UncategorizedText',
# 'element_id': 'fc550084fda1e008e07a0356894f5816',
# 'metadata': {
# 'filename': 'layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf',
# 'filetype': 'application/pdf',
# 'languages': ['eng'],
# 'page_number': 1
# }
# }
If you are self hosting the API, or developing locally, you can change the server URL when setting up the client.
# Using a local server
s = unstructured_client.UnstructuredClient(
server_url="http://localhost:8000",
api_key_auth=api_key,
)
# Using your own server
s = unstructured_client.UnstructuredClient(
server_url="https://your-server",
api_key_auth=api_key,
)
The Python SDK makes API calls using the (requests)[https://pypi.org/project/requests/] HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with a custom requests.Session
object.
For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:
import unstructured_client
import requests
http_client = requests.Session()
http_client.headers.update({'x-custom-header': 'someValue'})
s = unstructured_client.UnstructuredClient(client: http_client)
This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
