admin-api-lib 4.1.1

The admin backend is responsible for the document management. This includes deletion, upload and returning the source document.

admin-api-lib

Document lifecycle orchestration for the STACKIT RAG template. This library exposes a FastAPI-compatible admin surface that receives raw user content, coordinates extraction, summarisation, chunking, and storage, and finally hands normalized information pieces to the core RAG API.

It powers the services/admin-backend deployment and is the primary integration point for operators managing their document corpus.

Responsibilities

1. Ingestion – Accept files or external sources from the admin UI or API clients.
2. Extraction – Call extractor-api-lib to obtain normalized information pieces.
3. Enhancement – Summarize and enrich content using LLMs and tracing hooks from rag-core-lib.
4. Chunking – Split content via recursive or semantic strategies before vectorization.
5. Persistence – Store raw assets in S3-compatible storage and push processed chunks to rag-core-api.
6. Status tracking – Keep track of upload progress and expose document status endpoints backed by KeyDB/Redis.

Feature highlights

• Ready-to-wire dependency-injector container with sensible defaults for S3 storage, KeyDB status tracking, and background tasks.
• Pluggable chunkers (recursive vs semantic) and summariser implementations with shared retry/backoff controls.
• Rich Pydantic request/response models covering uploads, non-file sources, and document status queries.
• Thin endpoint implementations that can be swapped or extended while keeping the public API stable.
• Structured tracing (Langfuse) and logging that mirror the behaviour of the chat backend.

Installation

pip install admin-api-lib

Requires Python 3.13 and rag-core-lib.

Module tour

• dependency_container.py – Configures and wires dependency-injection providers. Override registrations here to customise behaviour.
• api_endpoints/ & impl/api_endpoints/ – Endpoints + abstractions for file uploads, source uploads, deletions, document status, and reference retrieval.
• apis/ – Admin API abstractions and implementations.
• chunker/ & impl/chunker/ – Abstractions + default text/semantic chunkers and chunker type selection class.
• extractor_api_client/ & rag_backend_client/ – Generated OpenAPI clients to talk to the extractor and rag core API services.
• file_services/ & impl/file_services/ – Abstract and default S3 interface.
• summarizer/ & impl/summarizer/ – Interfaces and LangChain-based summariser that leverage shared retry logic.
• information_enhancer/ & impl/information_enhancer/ – Abstractions + page and summary enhancer. Enhancers are centralized with general enhancer.
• impl/key_db/ – KeyDB/Redis client implementation for document status tracking.
• impl/mapper/ – Mapper between extractor documents and langchain documents.
• impl/settings/ – Configuration settings for dependency injection container components.
• prompt_templates/ – Default summarisation prompt shipped with the template.
• utils/ – Utility functions and classes.

Endpoints provided

• POST /upload_file – Uploads user selected files
• POST /upload_source - Uploads user selected sources
• DELETE /documents/{identification} – Deletes a document from the system.
• GET /document_reference/{identification} – Retrieves a document reference.
• GET /all_documents_status – Retrieves the status of all documents.

Refer to libs/README.md for in-depth API documentation.

Configuration overview

All settings are powered by pydantic-settings, so you can use environment variables or instantiate classes manually:

• S3_* (S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID, S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, S3_ENDPOINT, S3_BUCKET) – configure storage for raw uploads.
• DOCUMENT_EXTRACTOR_HOST – base URL of the extractor service.
• RAG_API_HOST – base URL of the rag-core API.
• CHUNKER_CLASS_TYPE_CHUNKER_TYPE – choose recursive (default) or semantic chunking.
• CHUNKER_* (CHUNKER_MAX_SIZE, CHUNKER_OVERLAP, CHUNKER_BREAKPOINT_THRESHOLD_TYPE, …) – fine-tune chunking behaviour.
• SUMMARIZER_MAXIMUM_INPUT_SIZE, SUMMARIZER_MAXIMUM_CONCURRENCY, SUMMARIZER_MAX_RETRIES, etc. – tune summariser limits and retry behaviour.
• SOURCE_UPLOADER_TIMEOUT – adjust how long non-file source ingestions wait before timing out.
• USECASE_KEYVALUE_HOST / USECASE_KEYVALUE_PORT – configure the KeyDB/Redis instance that persists document status.
• USECASE_KEYVALUE_USERNAME / USECASE_KEYVALUE_PASSWORD – optional credentials for authenticating against KeyDB/Redis.
• USECASE_KEYVALUE_USE_SSL, USECASE_KEYVALUE_SSL_CERT_REQS, USECASE_KEYVALUE_SSL_CA_CERTS, USECASE_KEYVALUE_SSL_CERTFILE, USECASE_KEYVALUE_SSL_KEYFILE, USECASE_KEYVALUE_SSL_CHECK_HOSTNAME – optional TLS settings for managed Redis deployments (e.g., STACKIT Redis or other SSL-only endpoints).

The Helm chart forwards these values through adminBackend.envs.*, keeping deployments declarative. Local development can rely on .env as described in the repository root README.

Typical usage

from admin_api_lib.main import app as perfect_admin_app

The admin frontend (services/frontend → Admin app) and automation scripts talk to these endpoints to manage the corpus. Downstream, rag-core-api receives the processed information pieces and stores them in the vector database.

Extending the library

1. Implement a new interface (e.g., Chunker, Summarizer, FileService).
2. Register it in dependency_container.py or override via dependency-injector in your service.
3. Update or add API endpoints if you expose new capabilities.
4. Cover the new behaviour with pytest-based unit tests under libs/admin-api-lib/tests.

Because components depend on interfaces defined here, downstream services can swap behavior without modifying the public API surface.

Contributing

Ensure new endpoints or adapters remain thin and defer to rag-core-lib for shared logic. Run poetry run pytest and the configured linters before opening a PR. For further instructions see the Contributing Guide.
