Python SDK for the Memic Context Engineering API
Project description
Memic Python SDK
Official Python SDK for the Memic Context Engineering API.
Upload documents, process them into searchable chunks, and perform semantic search with metadata filters.
Installation
pip install memic
Quick Start
from memic import Memic, MetadataFilters, PageRange
# Initialize client (uses MEMIC_API_KEY env var if not provided)
client = Memic(api_key="mk_...")
# List projects
projects = client.list_projects()
for p in projects:
print(f"{p.name}: {p.id}")
# Upload a file (waits for processing by default)
file = client.upload_file(
project_id="your-project-id",
file_path="/path/to/document.pdf",
reference_id="lesson_123" # Optional: for linking with external systems
)
print(f"Uploaded: {file.id}, status: {file.status}")
# Search with filters
results = client.search(
query="key findings about climate change",
project_id="your-project-id",
top_k=10,
min_score=0.7,
filters=MetadataFilters(
reference_id="TG_G1_Math",
page_range=PageRange(gte=1, lte=50)
)
)
for result in results:
print(f"[{result.score:.2f}] {result.file_name} (p.{result.page_number})")
print(f" {result.content[:200]}...")
Features
- File Upload: 3-step presigned URL flow for efficient uploads
- Wait for Ready: Automatic polling until file processing completes
- Semantic Search: Vector similarity search with rich metadata
- Metadata Filters: Filter by reference_id, page numbers, categories
- Simple API: Single client class, no complex patterns
Configuration
API Key
Set your API key via environment variable or constructor:
export MEMIC_API_KEY=mk_your_api_key_here
# Or pass directly
client = Memic(api_key="mk_...")
Custom Base URL
For development or self-hosted deployments:
client = Memic(
api_key="mk_...",
base_url="https://your-api.example.com"
)
API Reference
Memic Client
client = Memic(
api_key: str = None, # Uses MEMIC_API_KEY env var if not provided
base_url: str = None, # Default: https://api.memic.ai
timeout: int = 30 # Request timeout in seconds
)
