terminusdb 12.0.1

Terminus DB Python client

---

Python client for TerminusDB and TerminusCMS.

Migrating from terminusdb-client? This package was formerly known as terminusdb-client. Simply install terminusdb instead — both import terminusdb and import terminusdb_client continue to work, so no code changes are required.

TerminusDB is an open-source graph database and document store. It allows you to link JSON documents in a powerful knowledge graph all through a simple document API, with full git-for-data version control.

Requirements

• TerminusDB v12
• Python >=3.9

Release Notes and Previous Versions

TerminusDB Client v12 works with TerminusDB v12 onwards and the DFRNT cloud service. Please check the Release Notes to find out what has changed.

Installation

• TerminusDB Client can be downloaded from PyPI using pip: python -m pip install terminusdb

This only includes the core Python Client (Client) and WOQLQuery.

If you want to use woqlDataframe or the import and export CSV function in the Scaffolding CLI tool:

python -m pip install terminusdb[dataframe]

if you are installing from zsh you have to quote the argument like this:

python -m pip install 'terminusdb[dataframe]'

• Install from source:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb-client-python.git

Demo

Usage

Python client

Connect to a server

Connect to local host

from terminusdb import Client

client = Client("http://127.0.0.1:6363/")
client.connect()

The previous import path from terminusdb_client import Client also continues to work.

Connect to TerminusDB in the cloud

check the documentation on the DFRNT support page about how to add your API token to the environment variable

from terminusdb import Client

team="MyTeam"
client = Client(f"https://studio.dfrnt.com/api/hosted/{team}/")
client.connect(team="MyTeam", use_token=True)

Create a database

client.create_database("MyDatabase")

Create a schema

from terminusdb.schema import Schema, DocumentTemplate, RandomKey

my_schema = Schema()

class Pet(DocumentTemplate):
    _schema = my_schema
    name: str
    species: str
    age: int
    weight: float

my_schema.commit(client)

Create and insert documents

my_dog = Pet(name="Honda", species="Huskey", age=3, weight=21.1)
my_cat = Pet(name="Tiger", species="Bengal cat", age=5, weight=4.5)
client.insert_document([my_dog, my_cat])

Get back all documents

print(list(client.get_all_documents()))

[{'@id': 'Pet/b5edacf854e34fe79c228a91e2af45fb', '@type': 'Pet', 'age': 5, 'name': 'Tiger', 'species': 'Bengal cat', 'weight': 4.5}, {'@id': 'Pet/cdbe3f6d49394b38b952ae315309256d', '@type': 'Pet', 'age': 3, 'name': 'Honda', 'species': 'Huskey', 'weight': 21.1}]

Get a specific document

print(list(client.query_document({"@type":"Pet", "age":5})))

[{'@id': 'Pet/145eb73966d14a1394f7cd5576d7d0b8', '@type': 'Pet', 'age': 5, 'name': 'Tiger', 'species': 'Bengal cat', 'weight': 4.5}]

Delete a database

client.delete_database("MyDatabase")

Scaffolding CLI tool

Start a project in the directory

$ tdbpy startproject
Please enter a project name (this will also be the database name): mydb
Please enter an endpoint location (press enter to use localhost default) [http://127.0.0.1:6363/]:
config.json and schema.py created, please customize them to start your project.

Import a CSV named grades.csv

$ tdbpy importcsv grades.csv --na=error
0it [00:00, ?it/s]
Schema object Grades created with grades.csv inserted into database.
schema.py is updated with mydb schema.
1it [00:00,  1.00it/s]
Records in grades.csv inserted as type Grades into database with Lexical ids.

Get documents with query

$ tdbpy alldocs --type Grades -q grade="B-"
[{'@id': 'Grades/Android_Electric_087-65-4321_42.0_23.0_36.0_45.0_47.0_B-', '@type': 'Grades', 'final': 47.0, 'first_name': 'Electric', 'grade': 'B-', 'last_name': 'Android', 'ssn': '087-65-4321', 'test1': 42.0, 'test2': 23.0, 'test3': 36.0, 'test4': 45.0}, {'@id': 'Grades/Elephant_Ima_456-71-9012_45.0_1.0_78.0_88.0_77.0_B-', '@type': 'Grades', 'final': 77.0, 'first_name': 'Ima', 'grade': 'B-', 'last_name': 'Elephant', 'ssn': '456-71-9012', 'test1': 45.0, 'test2': 1.0, 'test3': 78.0, 'test4': 88.0}, {'@id': 'Grades/Franklin_Benny_234-56-2890_50.0_1.0_90.0_80.0_90.0_B-', '@type': 'Grades', 'final': 90.0, 'first_name': 'Benny', 'grade': 'B-', 'last_name': 'Franklin', 'ssn': '234-56-2890', 'test1': 50.0, 'test2': 1.0, 'test3': 90.0, 'test4': 80.0}]
