Project description

CheckThat AI Python SDK

PyPI version Python Support License: MIT

A Python SDK for the CheckThat AI platform's unified LLM API with built-in fact-checking and claim normalization capabilities.

Features

  • 🔄 Unified LLM Access: Access 11+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, and Together AI through a single API
  • 🔍 Claim Normalization: Standardize and structure claims for analysis
  • Fact-Checking: Built-in claim verification and evidence sourcing
  • 🔌 OpenAI Compatible: Drop-in replacement for OpenAI Python SDK
  • Async Support: Full async/await support for high-performance applications
  • 🛡️ Type Safety: Complete type hints for better development experience

Installation

pip install checkthat-ai

Quick Start

Basic Usage

import os
from checkthat_ai import CheckThatAI

# Initialize the client
api_key = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")  # or your provider's API key
client = CheckThatAI(api_key=api_key)

# Use exactly like OpenAI's client
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Fact-check this claim: The Earth is flat"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Async Usage

import asyncio
from checkthat_ai import AsyncCheckThatAI

async def main():
    client = AsyncCheckThatAI(api_key="your-api-key")
    
    response = await client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o",
        messages=[
            {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
        ]
    )
    
    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

asyncio.run(main())

Streaming Responses

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}],
    stream=True
)

for chunk in response:
    if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)

Supported Models

The SDK provides access to models from multiple providers:

  • OpenAI: GPT-5, GPT-5 nano, o3, o4-mini
  • Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 4, Sonnet Opus 4.1
  • Google: Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • xAI: Grok 4, Grok 3, Grok 3 Mini
  • Together AI: Llama 3.3 70B, Deepseek R1 Distill Llama 70B

API Reference

CheckThatAI Client

client = CheckThatAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",           # Required: Your API key
    base_url="https://api.checkthat-ai.com/v1",  # Optional: Custom base URL
    timeout=30.0,                     # Optional: Request timeout
    max_retries=3,                    # Optional: Max retry attempts
)

Chat Completions

Compatible with OpenAI's chat completions API:

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[...],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=1000,
    stream=False,
    # ... other OpenAI parameters
)

Model Information

# List available models
models = client.models.list()
for model in models:
    print(f"Model: {model.id}")

sample response

{
  "models_list": [
    {
      "provider": "OpenAI",
      "available_models": [
        {
          "name": "GPT-4o",
          "model_id": "gpt-4o-2024-11-20"
        },
        {
          "name": "GPT-4.1",
          "model_id": "gpt-4.1-2025-04-14"
        },
        {
          "name": "o4-mini",
          "model_id": "o4-mini-2025-04-16"
        }
      ]
    },
  ]
}

Authentication

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-key"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-key"
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-gemini-key"
export XAI_API_KEY="your-xai-key"
export TOGETHER_API_KEY="your-together-key"

and pass your API Key to the client:

client = CheckThatAI(api_key="your-api-key")

Error Handling

The SDK uses the same exception types as the OpenAI SDK:

from openai import OpenAIError, RateLimitError, APITimeoutError

try:
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
    )
except RateLimitError:
    print("Rate limit exceeded")
except APITimeoutError:
    print("Request timed out")
except OpenAIError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e}")
