Credal Python SDK

The Credal Python Library provides convenient access to the Credal API from applications written in Python.

Documentation

Docs for the API endpoints available through the SDK can be found here.

Reference

A full reference of the SDK is available here.

Installation

pip install --upgrade credal

Usage

from credal.client import CredalApi

client = CredalApi(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)

client.copilots.send_message(
    message="Is Credal SOC 2 compliant?",
    user_email="[e-mail]",
)

Self Hosted

client = CredalApi(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://<custom-domain>/api",
)

Async Client

from credal.client import AsyncCredalApi

client = AsyncCredalApi(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)

Exception Handling

All errors thrown by the SDK will be subclasses of ApiError.

import credal

...

try:
    client.copilots.send_message(...)
except credal.core.ApiError as e: # Handle all errors
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.body)

Advanced

Timeouts

By default, requests time out after 60 seconds. You can configure this with a timeout option at the client or request level.

from credal.client import CredalApi

client = CredalApi(
    ...,
    # All timeouts are 20 seconds
    timeout=20.0,
)

# Override timeout for a specific method
client.copilots.send_message(..., {
    timeout_in_seconds=20.0
})

Retries

The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long as the request is deemed retriable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured retry limit (default: 2).

A request is deemed retriable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:

• 408 (Timeout)
• 429 (Too Many Requests)
• 5XX (Internal Server Errors)

Use the max_retries request option to configure this behavior.

client.copilots.send_message(..., {
    max_retries=1
})

Custom HTTP client

You can override the httpx client to customize it for your use-case. Some common use-cases include support for proxies and transports.

import httpx

from credal.client import CredalApi

client = CredalApi(...,
    http_client=httpx.Client(
        proxies="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
        transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
    ),
)

Beta Status

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning the package version to a specific version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes.
