omni-fetcher 1.1.0

Universal data fetcher with Pydantic schemas

OmniFetcher

Fetch anything — a Jira issue, a PDF, an S3 object, a Slack thread, a web page — and get back the same typed shape every time.

As of v1.0, every connector emits one canonical contract: a Result envelope (Success / Partial / Error) wrapping a CompositionNode tree of typed content atoms (Text, Image, Audio, Video, Table), a uniform metadata core, and source-specific fields tucked into a namespaced source_extra. Code that walks a GitHub issue walks a Confluence page unchanged.

Result
├── Success ── tree: CompositionNode
├── Partial ── tree + gaps: list[Gap]        # partial data, typed holes
└── Error ──── kind: ErrorKind + message     # returned, never raised
                     │
CompositionNode ─────┘
├── metadata: Metadata      # id, kind, tags, created, updated, author,
│                           # source_url, ... + source_extra["<source>"]
├── atoms: [Text | Image | Audio | Video | Table]   # content only
└── children: [CompositionNode, ...]                 # recursive

Installation

pip install omni-fetcher

Some connectors need an extra:

Extra	Enables	Install
office	DOCX / PPTX parsing	pip install "omni-fetcher[office]"
jira, confluence	Atlassian API client	pip install "omni-fetcher[jira,confluence]"
gdrive	Google service-account auth (legacy fetcher)	pip install "omni-fetcher[gdrive]"
web	Better article extraction (legacy fetcher)	pip install "omni-fetcher[web]"
dev	Tests, lint, type checking	pip install "omni-fetcher[dev]"

Everything else (HTTP, JSON, GraphQL, RSS, S3, PDF, CSV, YouTube, Slack, Notion, SharePoint, Linear, GitHub, Google Drive REST, local files) works with the core install.

60 seconds

Fetch a local file — no credentials, no network:

import asyncio

from omni_fetcher.v1 import AtomKind, Success
from omni_fetcher.v1.connectors.local_file import LocalFileFetcher


async def main() -> None:
    result = await LocalFileFetcher().fetch("README.md")

    if isinstance(result, Success):
        node = result.tree                          # CompositionNode
        print(node.metadata.kind)                   # advisory label, e.g. "file"
        for atom in node.find_atoms(AtomKind.TEXT):
            print(atom.content[:100])


asyncio.run(main())

Every other connector returns the same shape, so everything below this point is the same three moves: check the result state, walk the tree, read the atoms.

Examples

Handle all three result states

Expected failures are returned as values, never raised. A feed that parsed with warnings comes back Partial — the data it did get, plus typed gaps:

from omni_fetcher.v1 import Error, Partial, Success
from omni_fetcher.v1.connectors.rss import RSSConnector

result = await RSSConnector().fetch("https://blog.python.org/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss")

if isinstance(result, Success):
    items = result.tree.find_by_kind("feed_item")
    print(f"{len(items)} items")
elif isinstance(result, Partial):
    print(f"partial: {len(result.tree.find_by_kind('feed_item'))} items, "
          f"{len(result.gaps)} gaps ({result.gaps[0].kind})")
elif isinstance(result, Error):
    print(f"{result.kind}: {result.message}")       # e.g. NOT_FOUND, AUTH_FAILED

Authenticate per call — credentials are never stored

Connectors hold no state; you pass the credential with each call. This is what makes one process safe for many tenants:

from omni_fetcher.v1 import BasicAuth, BearerAuth, Success
from omni_fetcher.v1.connectors.jira import JiraConnector
from omni_fetcher.v1.connectors.slack import SlackConnector

# Jira Cloud: email + API token
result = await JiraConnector().fetch(
    "jira://issue/PROJ-1",
    auth=BasicAuth(username="[e-mail]", password="api-token"),
)

# Slack: bot token
result = await SlackConnector().fetch(
    "slack://channel/C0123456789",
    auth=BearerAuth(token="xoxb-your-bot-token"),
)

Credential shapes: BearerAuth(token=...), ApiKeyAuth(api_key=..., header=...), BasicAuth(username=..., password=...), OAuth2Auth(access_token=...), AwsAuth(access_key_id=..., secret_access_key=...).

Source specifics live in source_extra — the core stays uniform

Descriptive fields every source shares (id, author, created, updated, tags, source_url) are typed on Metadata. Fields only one source has live under its namespace in source_extra, so they can't collide and can't leak into your generic code:

result = await JiraConnector().fetch("jira://issue/PROJ-1", auth=auth)
assert isinstance(result, Success)
node = result.tree

# Uniform core — identical for every source
print(node.metadata.id)            # "PROJ-1"
print(node.metadata.author)        # reporter's display name
print(node.metadata.created)       # datetime

# Jira-only fields, namespaced
extra = node.metadata.source_extra["jira"]
print(extra["status"], extra["priority"], extra["story_points"])

Tabular sources produce Table atoms

from omni_fetcher.v1 import AtomKind, Success
from omni_fetcher.v1.connectors.csv import CSVConnector

result = await CSVConnector().fetch("data/sales.csv")

assert isinstance(result, Success)
table = result.tree.find_atoms(AtomKind.TABLE)[0]
print(table.headers)               # ["region", "units", ...] or None
print(table.rows[:3])

Wire the orchestrator once, serve every tenant

For hosts routing arbitrary URIs, wire a single stateless orchestrator with all built-in connectors in one line and share it across threads and event loops. Each call gets a fresh connector instance and its own credentials — nothing is cached or shared between calls (proven by the concurrency suite in tests/v1/test_isolation.py):

from omni_fetcher.v1 import BearerAuth, OmniFetcher, builtin_registry

omni = OmniFetcher(builtin_registry())  # every built-in connector, wired once

# Per request — tenant A and tenant B can run concurrently on this instance
result = await omni.fetch(
    "https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/42",
    auth=BearerAuth(token=tenant_a_token),
    tags=["tenant-a"],
)

builtin_registry() resolves connector modules lazily, skips sources whose optional extra isn't installed, and stays immutable after construction. An unrouted URI returns error(ErrorKind.NOT_FOUND) — as a value. For a custom routing table, build your own with RegistryBuilder + SourceDefinition (both importable from omni_fetcher.v1).

Zoom: pick the semantic depth

Zoom selects how deeply a source's natural structure is expanded, per atom type — semantic tree depth, never token windowing:

from omni_fetcher.v1 import AtomKind, DepthLevel, ZoomSpec

spec = ZoomSpec(per_type={AtomKind.TEXT: DepthLevel.PARAGRAPH})
result = await omni.fetch("notes.md", zoom=spec)
# one "paragraph" child node per text block; the pieces concatenate
# exactly to the natural content

Coarser-than-natural levels (WHOLE, SECTION) work for every connector; finer text levels decompose in the text-bearing ones (pptx maps SECTION onto its slides). A finer level explicitly requested for an atom kind that can't decompose records an honest gap instead of a silent no-op.

Retry transient failures — as values, not exceptions

Connectors classify failures uniformly (429 → RATE_LIMITED, 5xx/timeouts → TRANSIENT), so retrying is a one-liner host decision:

from omni_fetcher.v1 import RetryPolicy, fetch_with_retry

policy = RetryPolicy(max_attempts=4, initial_delay=0.5, jitter=0.2)
result = await fetch_with_retry(omni, uri, policy=policy, auth=auth)

The frozen policy is safe to share across tenants; delivered data (Success/Partial) is never retried.

Or skip Python entirely

omni-fetcher v1 fetch README.md
omni-fetcher v1 fetch "jira://issue/PROJ-1" \
  --auth-type basic --username-env JIRA_USER --password-env JIRA_TOKEN
omni-fetcher v1 fetch notes.md --zoom text=paragraph --json

Credentials are environment-variable names — no secret touches argv. Exit codes: 0 success/partial, 1 typed error, 2 usage.

Write your own connector

Subclass BaseFetcher, override stream(), build canonical nodes with the mapping helper. fetch() comes for free (it collects the stream):

from typing import AsyncIterator, Optional

from omni_fetcher.v1 import BaseFetcher, Text
from omni_fetcher.v1.auth import AuthCredential
from omni_fetcher.v1.mapping import build_node
from omni_fetcher.v1.result import Result, success
from omni_fetcher.v1.zoom import ZoomSpec


class HelloConnector(BaseFetcher):
    async def stream(
        self,
        uri: str,
        *,
        auth: Optional[AuthCredential] = None,
        zoom: Optional[ZoomSpec] = None,
    ) -> AsyncIterator[Result]:
        node = build_node(
            kind="greeting",                       # advisory label
            atoms=[Text(content=f"hello, {uri}")],
            source_namespace="hello",              # source_extra["hello"]
            source_fields={"lang": "en"},
        )
        yield success(node)


result = await HelloConnector().fetch("hello://world")

Register it with a SourceDefinition (see the orchestrator example) and it routes like any built-in.

Opt-in content fingerprints

Merkle content hashes are computed only when you ask:

node.populate_hashes()             # bottom-up over the whole subtree
print(node.metadata.content_hash)  # stable fingerprint of content + children

Design guarantees

• Stateless everywhere. Connectors, registry, and orchestrator hold no credentials and no fetched data between calls. Fresh connector instance per call; immutable registry; per-call auth injection.
• Multi-tenant proven. tests/v1/test_isolation.py drives one shared orchestrator from 16 threads and 64 interleaved coroutines with distinct tenant credentials and asserts zero cross-tenant leakage.
• Expected failures are values. Missing resources, bad credentials, and parse failures come back as typed Error / Partial results with an ErrorKind; exceptions are reserved for bugs.
• Advisory, not rigid. metadata.kind labels ("issue", "feed_item", "page") are hints for humans and heuristics — the tree shape is the contract.

Legacy API (v0.x)

The pre-1.0 fetcher layer still ships and works unchanged:

from omni_fetcher import OmniFetcher

fetcher = OmniFetcher()
result = await fetcher.fetch("https://api.example.com/data.json")

What changed in 1.0: the ~50 source-specific public schema classes (GitHubIssue, NotionPage, JiraIssue, ...) are no longer exported from omni_fetcher — consumers move to the canonical contract above. docs/migration-v1.md maps every removed schema family onto atoms + metadata + source_extra, field by field.

The examples/ directory covers the legacy API end to end (auth methods, custom fetchers, per-source walkthroughs).

Development

git clone https://github.com/Jainil-Gosalia/omni_fetcher
cd omni_fetcher
pip install -e ".[dev,office,web,gdrive,confluence,slack,jira]"

pytest --ignore=tests/integration   # unit + contract suites (~1400 tests)
ruff check . && ruff format --check .
mypy omni_fetcher/

CI runs the same four gates on Python 3.10–3.12. tests/integration hits live services and needs real credentials; it is opt-in and excluded from CI. Releases are tag-driven: publishing a GitHub Release vX.Y.Z builds, gates, and publishes to PyPI via trusted publishing.
