Test Python Library

Cohere Python SDK

This package provides functionality developed to simplify interfacing with the Cohere API in Python 3.

Documentation

See the API's documentation.

Installation

The package can be installed with pip:

pip install --upgrade cohere

Install from source:

python setup.py install

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

Quick Start

To use this library, you must have an API key and specify it as a string when creating the cohere.Client object. API keys can be created through the platform. This is a basic example of the creating the client and using the generate endpoint.

import cohere

# initialize the Cohere Client with an API Key
co = cohere.Client('YOUR_API_KEY')

# generate a prediction for a prompt 
prediction = co.generate(
            model='large',
            prompt='co:here',
            max_tokens=10)
            
# print the predicted text          
print('prediction: {}'.format(prediction.generations[0].text))

Versioning

To use the SDK with a specific API version, you can specify it when creating the Cohere Client:

import cohere

co = cohere.Client('YOUR_API_KEY', '2021-11-08')

Endpoints

For a full breakdown of endpoints and arguments, please consult the Cohere Docs.

Cohere Endpoint	Function
/generate	co.generate()
/choose-best	co.choose_best()
/embed	co.embed()
/likelihood	co.likelihood()

Models

To view an up-to-date list of available models please consult the models section in the platform. To get started try out large for Generate, Choose Best, and Likelihood or small for Embed.

Responses

All of the endpoint functions will return a Cohere object corresponding to the endpoint (e.g. for generation, it would be Generation). The responses can be found as instance variables of the object (e.g. generation would be Generation.text). The names of these instance variables and a detailed breakdown of the response body can be found in the Cohere Docs. Printing the Cohere response object itself will display an organized view of the instance variables.

Exceptions

Unsuccessful API calls from the SDK will raise an exception. Please see the documentation's page on errors for more information about what the errors mean.
