ekodb-client 0.23.1

Python client for ekoDB - a high-performance document database

ekoDB Python Client

High-performance Python client for ekoDB, built with Rust for speed and safety.

This package wraps the ekodb_client Rust library using PyO3 to provide a native Python interface.

Features

• ✅ Fast: Built with Rust, leveraging the same client library as the Rust SDK
• ✅ Type-safe: Strong typing with Python type hints
• ✅ Async/await: Full async support using Python's asyncio
• ✅ Easy to use: Pythonic API that feels natural
• ✅ Complete: All ekoDB features supported
• ✅ Query Builder - Fluent API for complex queries with operators, sorting, and pagination
• ✅ Search - Full-text search, fuzzy search, and field-specific search with scoring
• ✅ Schema Management - Define and enforce data schemas with validation
• ✅ Join Operations - Single and multi-collection joins with queries
• ✅ Rate limiting with automatic retry (429, 503, network errors)
• ✅ Rate limit tracking (X-RateLimit-* headers)
• ✅ Configurable retry behavior
• ✅ Retry-After header support

Installation

pip install ekodb

Or install from source:

cd ekodb-py
pip install maturin
maturin develop

Quick Start

import asyncio
from ekodb_client import Client, RateLimitError

async def main():
    # Create client with configuration
    client = Client.new(
        "http://localhost:8080",
        "your-api-key",
        should_retry=True,  # Enable automatic retries (default: True)
        max_retries=3,      # Maximum retry attempts (default: 3)
        timeout_secs=30     # Request timeout in seconds (default: 30)
    )

    try:
        # Insert a document
        record = await client.insert("users", {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "age": 30,
            "email": "[e-mail]",
            "active": True
        })
        print(f"Inserted: {record['id']}")

        # Find by ID
        user = await client.find_by_id("users", record["id"])
        print(f"Found: {user}")

        # Find with query
        results = await client.find("users", limit=10)
        print(f"Found {len(results)} users")

        # Update
        updated = await client.update("users", record["id"], {
            "age": 31
        })
        print(f"Updated: {updated}")

        # Delete
        await client.delete("users", record["id"])
        print("Deleted")

    except RateLimitError as e:
        print(f"Rate limited! Retry after {e.retry_after_secs} seconds")

asyncio.run(main())

Usage Examples

Query Builder

from ekodb_client import Client, QueryBuilder

async def main():
    client = Client.new("http://localhost:8080", "your-api-key")

    # Simple query with operators
    query = QueryBuilder() \
        .eq("status", "active") \
        .gte("age", 18) \
        .lt("age", 65) \
        .limit(10) \
        .build()

    results = await client.find("users", query)

    # Complex query with sorting and pagination
    query = QueryBuilder() \
        .in_array("status", ["active", "pending"]) \
        .contains("email", "@example.com") \
        .sort_desc("created_at") \
        .skip(20) \
        .limit(10) \
        .build()

    results = await client.find("users", query)

Search Operations

# Basic text search
search_query = {
    "query": "programming",
    "min_score": 0.1,
    "limit": 10
}

results = await client.search("articles", search_query)
for result in results["results"]:
    print(f"Score: {result['score']:.4f} - {result['record']['title']}")

# Search with field weights
search_query = {
    "query": "rust database",
    "fields": ["title", "description"],
    "weights": {"title": 2.0},
    "limit": 5
}

results = await client.search("articles", search_query)

Schema Management

# Create a collection with schema
schema = {
    "fields": {
        "name": {
            "field_type": "String",
            "required": True,
            "regex": "^[a-zA-Z ]+$"
        },
        "email": {
            "field_type": "String",
            "required": True,
            "unique": True
        },
        "age": {
            "field_type": "Integer",
            "min": 0,
            "max": 150
        }
    }
}

await client.create_collection("users", schema)

# Get collection schema
schema = await client.get_schema("users")

Join Operations

# Single collection join
query = {
    "join": {
        "collections": ["departments"],
        "local_field": "department_id",
        "foreign_field": "id",
        "as_field": "department"
    },
    "limit": 10
}

results = await client.find("users", query)

# Multi-collection join
query = {
    "join": [
        {
            "collections": ["departments"],
            "local_field": "department_id",
            "foreign_field": "id",
            "as_field": "department"
        },
        {
            "collections": ["profiles"],
            "local_field": "id",
            "foreign_field": "id",
            "as_field": "profile"
        }
    ],
    "limit": 10
}

results = await client.find("users", query)
