weaviate.client¶
Client class definition.
- class weaviate.client.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.
- schema¶
A Schema object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.
- contextionary¶
A Contextionary object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.
- batch¶
A Batch object instance connected to the same Weaviate instance as the Client.
- Type
- 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
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 ... )
