Documentation

📚 Full documentation: docs.graphorlm.com/sdk/overview

Installation

pip install graphor

For better async performance with aiohttp:

pip install graphor[aiohttp]

Quick Start

from graphor import Graphor

client = Graphor()  # Uses GRAPHOR_API_KEY env var

# Upload a document
source = client.sources.upload(file=open("document.pdf", "rb"))
print(f"Uploaded: {source.file_name}")

# Ask questions about your documents
response = client.sources.ask(question="What are the main topics?")
print(f"Answer: {response.answer}")

Authentication

Set your API key as an environment variable (recommended):

export GRAPHOR_API_KEY="grlm_your_api_key_here"

from graphor import Graphor

client = Graphor()  # Automatically uses GRAPHOR_API_KEY

Or pass it directly:

client = Graphor(api_key="grlm_your_api_key_here")

Core Features

📄 Upload Documents

Upload files, web pages, GitHub repositories, or YouTube videos:

from pathlib import Path
from graphor import Graphor

client = Graphor()

# Upload a local file
source = client.sources.upload(file=Path("report.pdf"))

# Upload from URL
source = client.sources.upload_url(url="https://example.com/article")

# Upload from GitHub
source = client.sources.upload_github(url="https://github.com/org/repo")

# Upload from YouTube
source = client.sources.upload_youtube(url="https://youtube.com/watch?v=...")

Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, HTML, CSV, XLSX, PNG, JPG, MP3, MP4, and more.

📖 Full upload documentation

Certain errors are automatically retried 0 times by default, with a short exponential backoff. Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors are all retried by default.

⚙️ Process Documents

Reprocess documents with different OCR/parsing methods:

# Reprocess with high-resolution parsing
source = client.sources.parse(
    file_name="document.pdf",
    partition_method="hi_res"  # Options: basic, hi_res, hi_res_ft, mai, graphorlm
)

📖 Full processing documentation

💬 Chat with Documents

Ask questions about your documents with conversational memory:

# Ask a question
response = client.sources.ask(
    question="What are the key findings?"
)
print(response.answer)

# Follow-up question (maintains context)
follow_up = client.sources.ask(
    question="Can you elaborate on the first point?",
    conversation_id=response.conversation_id
)
print(follow_up.answer)

# Scope to specific documents
response = client.sources.ask(
    question="Compare these two reports",
    file_names=["report-2023.pdf", "report-2024.pdf"]
)

📊 Extract Structured Data

Extract structured information using JSON Schema:

result = client.sources.extract(
    file_names=["invoice.pdf"],
    user_instruction="Extract invoice details",
    output_schema={
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "invoice_number": {"type": "string"},
            "total_amount": {"type": "number"},
            "line_items": {
                "type": "array",
                "items": {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "description": {"type": "string"},
                        "amount": {"type": "number"}
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
)

print(result.structured_output)
# {"invoice_number": "INV-001", "total_amount": 1500.00, "line_items": [...]}

🔍 Retrieve Chunks (Prebuilt RAG)

Build custom RAG pipelines with semantic search:

# Retrieve relevant chunks
result = client.sources.retrieve_chunks(
    query="What are the payment terms?"
)

for chunk in result.chunks:
    print(f"[{chunk.file_name}, Page {chunk.page_number}]")
    print(f"Score: {chunk.score:.2f}")
    print(chunk.text)
    print("---")

# Use with your preferred LLM
context = "\n".join([c.text for c in result.chunks])
# Pass context to OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.

📖 Full RAG documentation

📋 Manage Sources

List, inspect, and delete documents:

# List all sources
sources = client.sources.list()
for source in sources:
    print(f"{source.file_name}: {source.status}")

# Get document elements
elements = client.sources.load_elements(
    file_name="document.pdf",
    page=1,
    page_size=50
)

# Delete a source
result = client.sources.delete(file_name="document.pdf")

Async Usage

Use AsyncGraphor for async/await support:

import asyncio
from graphor import AsyncGraphor

async def main():
    client = AsyncGraphor()
    
    # All methods support await
    source = await client.sources.upload(file=b"content")
    response = await client.sources.ask(question="Summarize this document")
    
    print(response.answer)

asyncio.run(main())

With aiohttp (Better Concurrency)

from graphor import AsyncGraphor, DefaultAioHttpClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncGraphor(http_client=DefaultAioHttpClient()) as client:
        sources = await client.sources.list()
        print(f"Found {len(sources)} sources")

asyncio.run(main())

Error Handling

import graphor
from graphor import Graphor

client = Graphor()

try:
    response = client.sources.ask(question="What is this about?")
except graphor.AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except graphor.NotFoundError:
    print("Resource not found")
except graphor.RateLimitError:
    print("Rate limited - back off and retry")
except graphor.APIConnectionError:
    print("Network error")
except graphor.APIStatusError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e.status_code}")

Status Code	Error Type
400	BadRequestError
401	AuthenticationError
403	PermissionDeniedError
404	NotFoundError
422	UnprocessableEntityError
429	RateLimitError
≥500	InternalServerError
N/A	APIConnectionError

Configuration

Retries

Requests are automatically retried twice with exponential backoff:

# Configure default retries
client = Graphor(max_retries=5)

# Or per-request
client.with_options(max_retries=3).sources.ask(question="...")

Timeouts

Default timeout is 60 seconds:

# Configure default timeout
client = Graphor(timeout=120.0)

# Or per-request
client.with_options(timeout=300.0).sources.parse(
    file_name="large-document.pdf",
    partition_method="graphorlm"
)

Complete Example

from pathlib import Path
from graphor import Graphor

client = Graphor()

# 1. Upload a document
source = client.sources.upload(file=Path("contract.pdf"))
print(f"✅ Uploaded: {source.file_name}")

# 2. Process with advanced parsing
processed = client.sources.parse(
    file_name=source.file_name,
    partition_method="hi_res"
)
print(f"✅ Processed: {processed.status}")

# 3. Ask questions
response = client.sources.ask(
    question="What are the key terms of this contract?",
    file_names=[source.file_name]
)
print(f"📝 Answer: {response.answer}")

# 4. Extract structured data
extracted = client.sources.extract(
    file_names=[source.file_name],
    user_instruction="Extract contract details",
    output_schema={
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "parties": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
            "effective_date": {"type": "string"},
            "termination_date": {"type": "string"},
            "total_value": {"type": "number"}
        }
    }
)
print(f"📊 Extracted: {extracted.structured_output}")

# 5. Build custom RAG
chunks = client.sources.retrieve_chunks(
    query="payment obligations",
    file_names=[source.file_name]
)
print(f"🔍 Found {chunks.total} relevant chunks")
