Usage

Schema

from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Optional, List
from datetime import datetime

class SingleDividend(BaseModel):
    dividend_per_share: float
    payment_date: Optional[datetime] = None
    record_date: Optional[datetime] = None
    stock_type_specified: Optional[str] = None

class DividendExtraction(BaseModel):
    info_found: bool
    data: List[SingleDividend] = []

Entries

Entries consist of an identifier and the text to be structured.

entries = [{'id':0, 'context':
    """First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release today 
    announcing that the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 
    per share on April 30, 2021, unchanged compared to the last quarterly dividend per share. 
    The dividend is payable on May 24, 2021 to shareholders of record on May 10, 2021. 
    Also on July 12, 2020 there was a payable dividend of $0.15 per share to shareholders 
    of record on July 1st, 2020."""},

    {"id":1,"context": """XYZ Corp declared a dividend of $0.25 per share, payable June 15, 2021 
    to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2021."""}
]

Prompt

Choose a prompt such as:

prompt = "Extract ALL dividend information from this text"

Dataset Builder

Choose the requests per minute that work for your api key and model.

from txt2dataset import GeminiAPIBuilder

builder = GeminiAPIBuilder()
results = builder.build(prompt=prompt, schema=DividendExtraction, model="gemini-2.5-flash-lite",
               entries=entries, rpm=4_000, tpm=4_000_000, rpm_threshold=0.75, tpm_threshold=0.75)

Result

id	dividend_per_share	payment_date	record_date	stock_type_specified
0	0.18	2021-05-24 00:00:00+00:00	2021-05-10 00:00:00+00:00	quarterly
0	0.15	2020-07-12 00:00:00+00:00	2020-07-01 00:00:00+00:00	quarterly
1	0.25	2021-06-15 00:00:00+00:00	2021-06-01 00:00:00+00:00

Spot Checking

Use spotcheck() to check if results look good. Highly recommended to use a more powerful model for spot checking, and cheap model for dataset generation.

spotchecks = builder.spotcheck(prompt=prompt, schema=DividendExtraction, model="gemini-2.5-flash", entries=entries,
               results=results, sample_size = 10, rpm=4_000, tpm=4_000_000, rpm_threshold=0.75, tpm_threshold=0.75)

Result

id	correct	desc
1	true
0	false	The stock_type_specified for the $0.15 dividend is incorrectly listed as 'quarterly'; the source text does not explicitly state it for this particular dividend, so it should be null.

Spot Checking Visualization

Use spotcheck_visualize() for an interactive visual method.

builder.spotcheck_visualize(prompt=prompt, schema=DividendExtraction, model="gemini-2.5-flash", entries=entries,
               results=results, sample_size = 10, rpm=4_000, tpm=4_000_000, rpm_threshold=0.75, tpm_threshold=0.75)
