poelis-sdk 1.0.5

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

Formula properties

For property type formula, property.category and property.unit is always None. The unit is part of the value itself: the value is the computed result of the expression (e.g. "10 kg"), so there is no separate unit field. For invalid formulas, property.value is None.

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.
