weaviate¶

Weaviate Python Client Library used to interact with a Weaviate instance.

The interaction with Weaviate instance should be through a Client object. A Client instance has instance attributes to all the object needed to create objects/schema, do classification, upload batches, query data, … Creating separate Schema, DataObject, Batch, Classification, Query, Connect, Reference is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. The Client class creates the needed instances and connects all of them to the same Weaviate instance for you.

Examples

A Weaviate instance running on localhost, on port 8080. With Authentication disables.

>>> import weaviate
>>> client = weaviate.Client('http://localhost:8080')
>>> print_type = lambda obj: print(type(obj))
>>> print_type(client.batch)
<class 'weaviate.batch.crud_batch.Batch'>
>>> print_type(client.schema)
<class 'weaviate.schema.crud_schema.Schema'>
>>> print_type(client.classification)
<class 'weaviate.classification.classify.Classification'>
>>> print_type(client.data_object)
<class 'weaviate.data.crud_data.DataObject'>
>>> print_type(client.query)
<class 'weaviate.gql.query.Query'>

weaviate.__version__¶

Current weaviate-python library version installed.

Type: str

class weaviate.AuthClientCredentials(client_secret: str)¶

Bases: weaviate.auth.AuthCredentials

Using a client secret for authentication. In case of grand type client credentials.

Parameters: client_secret (str) – The access token.

get_credentials() → dict¶

Get decoded credentials.

Returns: Decoded credentials.
Return type: dict

class weaviate.AuthClientPassword(username: str, password: str)¶

Bases: weaviate.auth.AuthCredentials

Using username and password for authentication. In case of grand type password.

Parameters

username (str) – The username to login with.
password (str) – Password fot the given User.

get_credentials() → dict¶

Get decoded credentials.

Returns: Decoded credentials.
Return type: dict

exception weaviate.AuthenticationFailedException¶

Bases: Exception

Authentication Failed Exception.

class weaviate.Client(url: str, auth_client_secret: Optional[weaviate.auth.AuthCredentials] = None, timeout_config: Union[Tuple[numbers.Real, numbers.Real], numbers.Real] = (2, 20))¶

Bases: object

A python native weaviate Client class that encapsulates Weaviate functionalities in one object. A Client instance creates all the needed objects to interact with Weaviate, and connects all of them to the same Weaviate instance. See below the Attributes of the Client instance. For the per attribute functionality see that attribute’s documentation.

classification¶

A Classification object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.

Type: weaviate.classification.Classification

schema¶

A Schema object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.

Type: weaviate.schema.Schema

contextionary¶

A Contextionary object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.

Type: weaviate.contextionary.Contextionary

batch¶

A Batch object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.

Type: weaviate.batch.Batch

data_object¶

A DataObject object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.

Type: weaviate.date.DataObject

query¶

A Query object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.

Type: weaviate.gql.Query

Initialize a Client class instance.

Parameters

url (str) – The URL to the weaviate instance.
auth_client_secret (weaviate.AuthCredentials, optional) – Authentication client secret, by default None.
timeout_config (tuple(Real, Real) or Real, optional) – Set the timeout configuration for all requests to the Weaviate server. It can be a real number or, a tuple of two real numbers: (connect timeout, read timeout). If only one real number is passed then both connect and read timeout will be set to that value, by default (2, 20).

Examples

Without Auth.

>>> client = Client(
...     url = 'http://localhost:8080'
... )
>>> client = Client(
...     url = 'http://localhost:8080',
...     timeout_config = (5, 15)
... )

With Auth.

>>> my_credentials = weaviate.auth.AuthClientPassword(USER_NAME, MY_PASSWORD)
>>> client = Client(
...     url = 'http://localhost:8080',
...     auth_client_secret = my_credentials
... )

Raises: TypeError – If arguments are of a wrong data type.

get_meta() → dict¶

Get the meta endpoint description of weaviate.

Returns: The dict describing the weaviate configuration.
Return type: dict
Raises: weaviate.UnexpectedStatusCodeException – If weaviate reports a none OK status.

get_open_id_configuration() → Optional[dict]¶

Get the openid-configuration.

Returns: The configuration or None if not configured.
Return type: dict
Raises: weaviate.UnexpectedStatusCodeException – If weaviate reports a none OK status.

is_live() → bool¶

Ping Weaviate’s live state.

Returns: True if weaviate is live and should not be killed, False otherwise.
Return type: bool

is_ready() → bool¶

Ping Weaviate’s ready state

Returns: True if Weaviate is ready to accept requests, False otherwise.
Return type: bool

property timeout_config¶

Getter/setter for timeout_config.

Parameters

timeout_config (tuple(Real, Real) or Real, optional) –

For Getter only: Set the timeout configuration for all requests to the Weaviate server. It can be a real number or, a tuple of two real numbers:

(connect timeout, read timeout).

If only one real number is passed then both connect and read timeout will be set to that value.

Returns

For Getter only: Requests Timeout configuration.

Return type

Tuple[Real, Real]

exception weaviate.ObjectAlreadyExistsException¶

Bases: Exception

Object Already Exists Exception.

exception weaviate.SchemaValidationException¶

Bases: Exception

Schema Validation Exception.

exception weaviate.UnexpectedStatusCodeException(message: str, response: requests.models.Response)¶

Bases: Exception

Is raised in case the status code returned from Weaviate is not handled in the client implementation and suggests an error.

Custom code can act on the attributes: - status_code - json

Parameters

message (str) – An error message specific to the context, in which the error occurred.
response (requests.Response) – The request response of which the status code was unexpected.
