This is a Python client for the Unstructured API.
pip install unstructured-client
Only the files
parameter is required. See the general partition page for all available parameters.
from unstructured_client import UnstructuredClient from unstructured_client.models import shared from unstructured_client.models.errors import SDKError s = UnstructuredClient(api_key_auth="YOUR_API_KEY") filename = "sample-docs/layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf" with open(filename, "rb") as f: # Note that this currently only supports a single file files=shared.Files( content=f.read(), file_name=filename, ) req = shared.PartitionParameters( files=files, # Other partition params strategy='ocr_only', languages=["eng"], ) try: resp = s.general.partition(req) print(resp.elements[0]) except SDKError as e: print(e) # { # 'type': 'UncategorizedText', # 'element_id': 'fc550084fda1e008e07a0356894f5816', # 'metadata': { # 'filename': 'layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf', # 'filetype': 'application/pdf', # 'languages': ['eng'], # 'page_number': 1 # } # }
If you are self hosting the API, or developing locally, you can change the server URL when setting up the client.
# Using a local server s = unstructured_client.UnstructuredClient( server_url="http://localhost:8000", api_key_auth=api_key, ) # Using your own server s = unstructured_client.UnstructuredClient( server_url="https://your-server", api_key_auth=api_key, )
The Python SDK makes API calls using the requests HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with a custom requests.Session
object.
For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:
import unstructured_client import requests http_client = requests.Session() http_client.headers.update({'x-custom-header': 'someValue'}) s = unstructured_client.UnstructuredClient(client: http_client)
This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
