poelis-sdk 0.5.3

Official Python SDK for Poelis

Poelis Python SDK

Python SDK for Poelis - explore your data with simple dot notation.

IDE Compatibility & Autocomplete

The Poelis SDK works in all Python environments, but autocomplete behavior varies by IDE:

✅ VS Code (Recommended for Notebooks)

• Autocomplete: Works perfectly with dynamic attributes
• Setup: No configuration needed
• Experience: Full autocomplete at all levels

⚠️ PyCharm (Jupyter Notebooks)

• Autocomplete: Limited - PyCharm uses static analysis and doesn't see dynamic attributes
• Code execution: Works perfectly (attributes are real and functional)
• Workaround: Call the relevant list_*().names at each level to prime autocomplete

Examples

See notebooks/try_poelis_sdk.ipynb for complete examples including authentication, data exploration, and search queries.

Installation

• Python >= 3.11
• API base URL reachable from your environment

pip install -U poelis-sdk

Quick Start

1. Go to Organization Settings → API Keys
2. Click "Create API key"
3. Copy the key (shown only once) and store it securely, for example as an environment variable:

from poelis_sdk import PoelisClient

# Create client
poelis_client = PoelisClient(
    api_key="poelis_live_A1B2C3...",    # Get from Organization Settings → API Keys
)

Browser Usage

The browser lets you navigate your Poelis data with simple dot notation:

# Navigate through your data
poelis = poelis_client.browser

# List workspaces
poelis.list_workspaces().names  # ['workspace1', 'workspace2', ...]

# Access workspace
ws = poelis.workspace1

# List products in workspace  
ws.list_products().names  # ['product1', 'product2', ...]

# Access product
product = ws.product1

# List items in product
product.list_items().names  # ['item1', 'item2', ...]

# Access item and its properties
item = product.item1

# List children by type for more control
item.list_items().names       # ['child_item1', 'child_item2'] - only child items
item.list_properties().names  # ['Color', 'Weight', ...] - only properties

# Access property values directly
item_value = item.some_property.value  # Access property values directly
item_category = item.some_property.category  # Access property categories directly
item_unit = item.some_property.unit  # Access property units directly

Property Change Detection

The SDK can automatically warn you when property values change between script/notebook runs. This is useful when you're using property values for calculations and want to be notified if a colleague changes them in the webapp.
