    name="fraud_detection",
    model_type="classification",
    framework="sklearn"
)

# Log predictions

import asyncio
from whiteboxai import WhiteBoxAI, ModelMonitor

Advanced Features

Offline Mode

Enable robust operation with unreliable network connectivity. Operations are queued locally and synced automatically.

from whiteboxai import WhiteBoxAI

# Enable offline mode with auto-sync
client = WhiteBoxAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    enable_offline=True,
    offline_dir="./whiteboxai_offline",
    offline_auto_sync=True,
    offline_sync_interval=60  # Sync every 60 seconds
)

# Operations are automatically queued when API is unavailable
# Check queue status
status = client.get_offline_status()
print(f"Queued operations: {status['queue_size']}")

# Manually trigger sync
result = client.sync_offline_queue()
print(f"Synced: {result['synced']}, Failed: {result['failed']}")

# Cleanup old operations
client.cleanup_offline_queue(older_than_days=7)

Key Features:

• Persistent Queue: SQLite-based storage survives restarts
• Auto-Sync: Background synchronization every 60s (configurable)
• Priority-Based: CRITICAL > HIGH > NORMAL > LOW
• Retry Logic: Automatic retry with exponential backoff (max 3 attempts)
• Thread-Safe: Supports concurrent operations

Configuration:

client = WhiteBoxAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    enable_offline=True,
    offline_dir="./offline_queue",        # Storage directory
    offline_max_queue_size=10000,         # Max operations (0 = unlimited)
    offline_auto_sync=True,               # Enable auto-sync
    offline_sync_interval=60,             # Sync interval (seconds)
)

See Offline Mode Guide for complete documentation.

Privacy Filters

from whiteboxai import WhiteBoxAI
from whiteboxai.privacy import mask_data

client = WhiteBoxAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    enable_privacy_filters=True
)

# Data is automatically masked before sending
data = {
    "email": "user@example.com",
    "phone": "555-123-4567",
    "amount": 100.0
}

# Mask sensitive data
masked = mask_data(data)
# {"email": "***MASKED***", "phone": "***MASKED***", "amount": 100.0}

Local Caching

client = WhiteBoxAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    enable_caching=True,
    cache_ttl=3600,
    cache_max_size=1000
)

Sampling

# Monitor 10% of predictions
monitor = ModelMonitor(
    client,
    model_id=123,
    sampling_rate=0.1
)

Drift Detection

import numpy as np

# Set baseline data
baseline = np.random.randn(1000, 10)
monitor.set_baseline(baseline)

# Detect drift
current_data = np.random.randn(100, 10)
drift_report = monitor.detect_drift(current_data)

Configuration

The SDK can be configured via constructor parameters or environment variables:

from whiteboxai import WhiteBoxAI

client = WhiteBoxAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",              # or EXPLAINAI_API_KEY env var
    base_url="https://api.whiteboxai.io", # Custom API endpoint
    timeout=30,                           # Request timeout (seconds)
    max_retries=3,                        # Retry attempts

    # Offline mode
    enable_offline=True,                  # Enable offline queueing
    offline_dir="./whiteboxai_offline",  # Queue storage directory
    offline_max_queue_size=10000,        # Max queued operations
    offline_auto_sync=True,              # Auto-sync in background
    offline_sync_interval=60,            # Sync interval (seconds)

    # Other features
    enable_caching=True,                  # Enable local caching
    enable_privacy_filters=True,          # Enable PII masking
    enable_sampling=True,                 # Enable prediction sampling
    sampling_rate=1.0                     # Sample 100% of predictions
)
