🚀 Features

• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Perform semantic search and intelligent query answering using hybrid retrieval techniques.
• Flexible Query Interface Send queries with configurable similarity thresholds and top_k result tuning.
• Callback Support for Asynchronous Workflows Pass in callbacks to handle results or errors once workflows complete — ideal for event-driven applications.
• Workflow Polling with Timeout Control Monitor long-running workflows with built-in polling, status checking, and customizable timeouts.
• Simple, Extensible API Clean, Pythonic interfaces with support for both synchronous returns and optional callbacks.
• Error-Handled Execution Flow Graceful handling of task failures, timeouts, and unexpected states with descriptive exceptions.
• Logging Support Integrated logging for easy debugging and transparency during polling or querying.

📦 Installation

pip install ninebit-ciq

Or clone and install locally:

git clone https://github.com/NineBit-Computing/ciq-py-client.git
cd ciq-py-client
pip install .

🧪 Quickstart (Python)

from ninebit_ciq import NineBitCIQClient

client = NineBitCIQClient(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY"
)

def on_done(error, data):
    if error:
        print(f"Ingest_file failed: {error}")
    else:
        print(f"Ingest_file succeeded: {str(data)}")

# 1. Ingest file as datasource for performing RAG
client.ingest_file(file="files/my_file.pdf", callback=on_done)

# 2. Ask your query
query = "What are land breeze?"
response = client.rag_query(query=query)
print(f"Query response is {response}")

🔐 Authentication - You’ll Need an API Key

If you’re using the Freemium CIQ setup, you’ll just need to register at our web app and grab your API key. It’s quick, and no credit card is required.
