A Python client for Perseus API
Project description
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.

Example: Build a Graph
This example shows how to build a graph from a text file.
import asyncio
from perseus_client import PerseusClient
from perseus_client.models import KnowledgeGraph
async def main():
async with PerseusClient() as client:
try:
graphs: List[KnowledgeGraph] = client.build_graph(
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 CQL 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], ...) |

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())
