perseus-client 1.0.0rc12

A Python client for Perseus API

Perseus Text-to-Graph

Documentation

In today's world, a vast amount of valuable information is locked away in unstructured text—documents, articles, emails, and more. While AI and analytics tools are incredibly powerful, they struggle to make sense of this chaotic data. They need structured, connected information to reason effectively.

This is where the gap lies:

What Organizations Have	What AI Systems Need
📄 Unstructured Text	🔗 Connected Knowledge
Chaotic, disconnected data	Structured, queryable graphs
Implicit relationships	Explicit entities and relations
Hard to query and analyze	Ready for deep analysis

Without a way to bridge this gap, AI systems can't unlock the full potential of your data. They might miss critical insights, provide incomplete answers, or fail to see the bigger picture.

Lettria's Perseus service is designed to solve this problem. It transforms your raw text into a structured knowledge graph, making it instantly usable for AI applications, from advanced search to complex reasoning. Furthermore, the SDK empowers users to leverage their own ontologies, providing a flexible way to define the desired data schema. This greatly reduces data complexity and ensures the generated knowledge graph is precisely tailored to specific use cases.

🌟 Features

• Asynchronous Client: High-performance, non-blocking API calls using asyncio and aiohttp.
• Simple Interface: Easy-to-use methods for file operations, ontology management, and graph building.
• Data Validation: Robust data modeling with pydantic.
• Neo4j Integration: Directly save your graph data to a Neo4j instance.
• FalkorDB Integration: Directly save your graph data to a FalkorDB instance.
• Flexible Configuration: Configure via environment variables or directly in code.

Example: Build a Graph

This example shows how to build a graph from a text file.

import asyncio
from typing import List
from perseus_client import PerseusClient
from perseus_client.models import KnowledgeGraph

async def main():
    async with PerseusClient() as client:
        try:
            graphs: List[KnowledgeGraph] = await client.build_graph_async(
                file_path=["path/to/your/document.txt"],
            )
            for graph in graphs:
                print(f"🎉 Graph built successfully with {len(graph.entities)} entities and {len(graph.relations)} relations!")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

The KnowledgeGraph Object

The build_graph_async method returns a KnowledgeGraph object, which holds the structured data of your graph.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
entities	List[Entity]	A list of nodes (entities) in the graph.
relations	List[Relation]	A list of relationships (facts) connecting the entities.
documents	List[Document]	A list of source documents used to generate the graph.
ttl_content	Optional[str]	The raw TTL content of the graph.
cql_content	Optional[str]	The raw Cypher Query Language content of the graph.

Methods

The KnowledgeGraph object also has several built-in methods to save or convert the data to different formats and databases.

Method	Return Type	Description
save_ttl(file_path: str)	None	Saves the graph to a TTL file.
to_ttl()	str	Returns the graph as a TTL string.
save_cql(file_path: str, strip_prefixes: bool = True)	None	Saves the graph to a CQL file.
to_cql(strip_prefixes: bool = True)	str	Returns the graph as a CQL string.
save_to_neo4j(strip_prefixes: bool = True)	None	Saves the graph to a Neo4j instance synchronously.
save_to_neo4j_async(strip_prefixes: bool = True)	None	Saves the graph to a Neo4j instance asynchronously.
save_to_falkordb()	None	Saves the graph to a FalkorDB instance synchronously.
save_to_falkordb_async()	None	Saves the graph to a FalkorDB instance asynchronously.
to_json()	dict	Converts the knowledge graph to a JSON serializable dictionary.
interlink(kbs: List[KnowledgeGraph], ...)	KnowledgeGraph	Merges multiple KnowledgeGraph objects into a single one.

Merging KnowledgeGraphs

You can merge multiple KnowledgeGraph objects using the static KnowledgeGraph.interlink method.

import asyncio
from typing import List
from perseus_client import PerseusClient
from perseus_client.models import KnowledgeGraph

async def main():
    async with PerseusClient() as client:
        try:
            # Build two graphs
            graphs: List[KnowledgeGraph] = await client.build_graph_async(
                file_path=["path/to/document1.txt", "path/to/document2.txt"]
            )

            # Interlink them using the static method
            if len(graphs) >= 2:
                merged_graph = KnowledgeGraph.interlink(kbs=graphs)
                print(f"🎉 Graphs merged successfully with {len(merged_graph.entities)} entities and {len(merged_graph.relations)} relations!")

        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

📚 API Reference

client.build_graph

def build_graph(
    file_path: List[str],
    ontology_path: Optional[str] = None,
    refresh_graph: bool = False,
    metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
) -> List[KnowledgeGraph]:

Processes one or more files by uploading them, optionally with an ontology, running jobs, and returning KnowledgeGraph objects synchronously.

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
file_path	List[str]	A list of file paths to process.
ontology_path	Optional[str]	The path to the ontology file to use.	None
refresh_graph	bool	Whether to force a new job to be created (refresh the graph).	False
metadata	Optional[Dict[str, Any]]	A dictionary of metadata to add to all nodes and relationships.	None

KnowledgeGraph.interlink

@staticmethod
def interlink(
    kbs: List["KnowledgeGraph"],
    interlinking_key_uris: List[str] = ["http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label"],
    immutable_properties: Optional[List[str]] = None,
    merge_properties_on_conflict: bool = False,
) -> "KnowledgeGraph":

Merges multiple KnowledgeGraph objects into a single one based on a linking key. Entities are deduplicated and their properties are combined. By default, entities of different types will not be merged, even if they share the same linking key. If immutable_properties are specified, entities with conflicting values for these properties will also not be merged, resulting in separate entities in the final graph.

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
kbs	List[KnowledgeGraph]	A list of KnowledgeGraph objects to merge.
interlinking_key_uris	List[str]	The URI of the property to use for linking entities (e.g., rdfs:label).	["http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label"]
immutable_properties	Optional[List[str]]	A list of property URIs (e.g., "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title" or "hasJobTitle") that, if their values conflict between entities, will prevent those entities from being merged. Instead, separate entities will be retained.	None
merge_properties_on_conflict	bool	If True, merges properties when a conflict occurs. Otherwise, keeps the first one.	False
