sery 0.1.0

Python client for Sery — query your private data mesh by sery:// address.

Sery Python SDK

Query your private data mesh by sery:// address — one SQL statement, run on whichever machine holds the data. Raw data never moves through Sery; only result rows come back.

pip install sery          # core
pip install sery[pandas]  # + .to_pandas()

Quick start

import sery

client = sery.Client(api_key="sery_...")  # from app.sery.ai → Settings → API Keys

df = client.query("""
    SELECT customer, SUM(amount) AS total
    FROM 'sery://sam-laptop/local/sales/orders.parquet'
    GROUP BY customer
    ORDER BY total DESC
""").to_pandas()

Addresses

Sources are addressed as sery://<machine>/<protocol>/<path>:

• <machine> — a machine's stable id or its name (e.g. sam-laptop)
• <protocol> — local, s3, or https
• <path> — the file path / bucket key

Discover what's addressable with the catalog:

for src in client.catalog():
    print(src.sery_uri, "—", src.machine, src.file_format)
    # sery://sam-laptop/local/sales/orders.parquet — sam-laptop parquet

Pass any sery_uri straight into query().

Results

result = client.query("SELECT * FROM 'sery://my-mac/local/data.parquet' LIMIT 5")

result.columns          # ['id', 'name', ...]
result.rows             # [[1, 'a'], [2, 'b'], ...]
for row in result:      # iterate as dicts
    print(row["name"])
result.to_pandas()      # DataFrame (needs pandas)

result.incomplete       # True if a machine didn't respond
result.warnings         # human-readable warnings to surface

When incomplete is True, one or more machines were offline — check warnings before trusting an aggregate (a SUM/COUNT may undercount).

Errors

Every failure is a typed exception (sery.errors):

Exception	When
AuthError	missing / invalid API key (401)
QueryError	no sery:// refs, bad address, unsupported protocol (400)
MachineNotFound	unknown machine (404)
AmbiguousMachine	a name matched >1 machine — .candidates lists machine_ids (409)
CrossMachineJoinUnsupported	the query spans machines — .machines (422)
MachinesUnavailable	every targeted machine offline — .failures (503)

import sery

try:
    client.query("SELECT * FROM 'sery://laptop/local/x.parquet'")
except sery.AmbiguousMachine as e:
    for c in e.candidates:
        print(c["label"], c["machine_id"])  # re-issue with the machine_id

Limitations (v1)

• All sources in one query must live on the same machine — cross-machine joins raise CrossMachineJoinUnsupported.
• Routable protocols: local, s3, https.
