ragora-sdk 0.3.0

Official Python SDK for the Ragora RAG API - Build AI-powered knowledge bases

Ragora Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the Ragora RAG API. Build AI-powered knowledge bases with semantic search and chat completions.

Installation

pip install ragora-sdk

Or with uv:

uv add ragora-sdk

Release Smoke Check

Run a quick pre-release smoke check that:

• builds the package (if build is installed),
• validates dist metadata (if twine is installed),
• executes a curated set of examples against a mocked client (no network/API key required).

python -m ragora.smoke

Or via CLI entrypoint:

ragora-smoke

Useful options:

# skip build/twine phase
python -m ragora.smoke --skip-prepare

# run a subset of examples
python -m ragora.smoke --examples search.py,credits.py,listings.py

Quick Start

import asyncio
from ragora import RagoraClient

async def main():
    client = RagoraClient(api_key="your-api-key")

    # Create a collection
    collection = await client.create_collection(
        name="My Knowledge Base",
        description="Documentation and guides"
    )
    print(f"Created collection: {collection.id}")

    # Upload a document
    upload = await client.upload_file(
        file_path="./document.pdf",
        collection_id=collection.id
    )
    print(f"Uploaded: {upload.filename} (ID: {upload.id})")

    # Wait for processing to complete
    status = await client.wait_for_document(upload.id)
    print(f"Processing complete: {status.vector_count} vectors created")

    # Search the collection
    results = await client.search(
        collection_id=collection.id,
        query="How do I get started?",
        top_k=5
    )
    for result in results.results:
        print(f"Score: {result.score:.3f} - {result.content[:100]}...")

    # Chat with your knowledge base
    response = await client.chat(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the main concepts"}],
        retrieval={"collection_id": collection.id},
    )
    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

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

API Reference

Client Initialization

from ragora import RagoraClient

# Basic usage
client = RagoraClient(api_key="your-api-key")

# With custom settings
client = RagoraClient(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="https://api.ragora.app",  # default
    timeout=30.0  # seconds
)

# Using as async context manager
async with RagoraClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
    results = await client.search(...)

Collections

# Create a collection
collection = await client.create_collection(
    name="My Collection",
    description="Optional description",
    slug="my-collection"  # optional, auto-generated if not provided
)

# List collections
collections = await client.list_collections(limit=20, offset=0)
for coll in collections.data:
    print(f"{coll.name}: {coll.total_documents} documents")

# Get a collection by ID or slug
collection = await client.get_collection("collection-id-or-slug")

# Update a collection
collection = await client.update_collection(
    "collection-id",
    name="New Name",
    description="Updated description"
)

# Delete a collection
result = await client.delete_collection("collection-id")
print(result.message)

Documents

# Upload from bytes
upload = await client.upload_document(
    file_content=b"Hello world",
    filename="hello.txt",
    collection_id="collection-id"  # optional, uses default if not provided
)

# Upload from file path
upload = await client.upload_file(
    file_path="./document.pdf",
    collection_id="collection-id"
)

# Check document status
status = await client.get_document_status(upload.id)
print(f"Status: {status.status}")
print(f"Progress: {status.progress_percent}%")
print(f"Stage: {status.progress_stage}")

# Wait for processing to complete
status = await client.wait_for_document(
    upload.id,
    timeout=300.0,      # max wait time in seconds
    poll_interval=2.0   # time between status checks
)

# List documents in a collection
documents = await client.list_documents(
    collection_id="collection-id",
    limit=50,
    offset=0
)

# Delete a document
result = await client.delete_document("document-id")

Search

results = await client.search(
    collection_id="collection-id",
    query="What is machine learning?",
    top_k=5,              # number of results
    source_type=["sec_filing"],
    custom_tags=["ticker:aapl", "form:10-k"],
    filters={"filing_year": {"$gte": 2023}},
    version_mode="latest",
    enable_reranker=True,
)

for result in results.results:
    print(f"Score: {result.score:.3f}")
    print(f"Content: {result.content}")
    print(f"Document ID: {result.document_id}")
    print("---")

Chat Completions

# Non-streaming
response = await client.chat(
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain RAG"}
    ],
    generation={
        "model": "google/gemini-2.5-flash",
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "max_tokens": 1000,
    },
    retrieval={
        "collection_id": "collection-id",
        "version_mode": "latest",
        "document_keys": ["sec:10k:0000320193"],
        "domain": ["financial"],
        "domain_filter_mode": "strict",
        "enable_reranker": True,
    },
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
print(f"Sources used: {len(response.sources)}")

# Streaming
async for chunk in client.chat_stream(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain RAG"}],
    retrieval={"collection_id": "collection-id"},
):
    print(chunk.content, end="", flush=True)

    # Sources are included in the final chunk
    if chunk.sources:
        print(f"\n\nSources: {len(chunk.sources)}")

chat() and chat_stream() use grouped options:

• generation: model/temperature/max_tokens
• retrieval: collection/product scope + retrieval filters
• agentic: mode/system_prompt/session/session_id
• metadata: source attribution fields

Friendly Collection/Product References

You can now pass human-friendly names directly:

• collection: collection UUID, slug, or name
• products: product UUID, slug, or title

Legacy fields still work:

• collection_id
• product_ids

Do not pass both new and legacy fields in the same call.

# Search by collection name
results = await client.search(
    collection="SEC Filings",
    query="gross margin",
)

# Chat by product title/slug
response = await client.chat(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize key risks"}],
    retrieval={"products": ["Apple 10-K Pack"]},
)

# Upload/list docs by collection name
upload = await client.upload_file(
    file_path="./document.pdf",
    collection="Internal Docs",
)

documents = await client.list_documents(collection="Internal Docs")

The same retrieval controls (source_type, source_name, version, version_mode, document_keys, custom_tags, domain, domain_filter_mode, filters, graph_filter, temporal_filter, enable_reranker) are available across search and chat (chat(..., retrieval={...})).

Agent Chat (Auto Retrieval)

agent = await client.create_agent(
    name="SEC Analyst",
    collection_ids=["collection-id"],
    retrieval_policy={
        "default_top_k": 8,
        "max_top_k": 15,
        "constraints": {
            "domain": ["financial"],
            "domain_filter_mode": "strict",
            "custom_tags": ["ticker:aapl"],
        },
    },
)

reply = await client.agent_chat(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    message="Summarize 2024 gross margin drivers for AAPL",
    session_id="optional-session-id",
    collection_ids=["collection-id"],  # optional session-level collection scope
)

print(reply.message)

Marketplace

# Browse marketplace products
products = await client.list_marketplace(limit=10, search="AI")
for product in products.data:
    print(f"{product.title} - {product.average_rating:.1f} stars")

# Get product details (by ID or slug)
product = await client.get_marketplace_product("product-slug")
print(f"{product.title}: {product.total_vectors} vectors")
if product.listings:
    for listing in product.listings:
        print(f"  {listing.get('type')}: ${listing.get('price_amount_usd', 0):.2f}")

Credits

balance = await client.get_balance()
print(f"Balance: ${balance.balance_usd:.2f} {balance.currency}")

Response Metadata

Every response includes metadata from API headers:

response = await client.search(...)

print(f"Request ID: {response.request_id}")
print(f"API Version: {response.api_version}")
print(f"Cost: ${response.cost_usd:.4f}")
print(f"Remaining balance: ${response.balance_remaining_usd:.2f}")
print(f"Rate limit: {response.rate_limit_remaining}/{response.rate_limit_limit}")
print(f"Rate limit resets in: {response.rate_limit_reset}s")

Error Handling

from ragora import RagoraClient, RagoraException

client = RagoraClient(api_key="your-api-key")

try:
    results = await client.search(...)
except RagoraException as e:
    print(f"Error: {e.message}")
    print(f"Status code: {e.status_code}")
    print(f"Request ID: {e.request_id}")

    if e.is_rate_limited:
        print("Rate limited - wait and retry")
    elif e.is_auth_error:
        print("Check your API key")
    elif e.is_retryable:
        print("Temporary error - safe to retry")
