Nyx Client SDK

🌟 Nyx Client SDK offers a simple API for interacting with data in your Nyx network. Subscribe, search and download data from across your federated network with ease, or if you’re a publisher, easily created, update, or delete your existing data products programmatically!

If you’re looking for an out of the box experience, try installing nyx-extras, to seamlessly and quickly build powerful AI applications, to interact with data from your Nyx network!

🚧 Status

The Nyx ecosystem is at an early stage of its development, please give us feedback through the Github issues.

What is the Nyx Client SDK

The Nyx Client SDK is a Python library that provides an API for easy interaction with the Nyx Platform. It enables end users to seamlessly connect their data to the Nyx ecosystem, search for data, subscribe to it, and consume it. With this SDK, users can ultimately build powerful AI applications.

Several examples of SDK usage in an AI context are available:

• RAG demo examples

• https://[nyx_host]/try-me-now

As a data producer

I want to connect my Data

from nyx_client import NyxClient

client = NyxClient()
client.create_data(
    name="MyData1",
    title="My Data #1",
    description="The description of the data #1",
    size=1080,
    genre="ai",
    categories=["cat1", "cat2", "cat3"],
    download_url="http://storage/dataset1.csv",
    content_type="text/csv",
    lang="fr",
    preview="col1, col2, col3\naaa, bbb, ccc",
    license_url="https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT",
)

I want to share data using the instance’s storage to upload

from nyx_client import NyxClient

client = NyxClient()

# Open in binary mode with 'b', optionally
# you can supply and encoding if required
with open("somefile.csv", 'rb') as infile:
  client.create_data(
      name="MyData1",
      title="My Data #1",
      description="The description of the data #1",
      size=1080,
      genre="ai",
      categories=["cat1", "cat2", "cat3"],
      file=infile,
      content_type="text/csv",
      lang="fr",
      preview="col1, col2, col3\naaa, bbb, ccc",
      license_url="https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT",
  )

I want to delete/disconnect my Data

from nyx_client import NyxClient

client = NyxClient()
client.delete_data_by_name(name="MyData1")

As an application builder

I want to subscribe to some data

from nyx_client import NyxClient

client = NyxClient()
found_data = client.get_data(categories[genre="ai", categories=["cat1", "cat"], content_type="text/csv"])
for data in found_data:
  client.subscribe(data)

I want to consume the data

from nyx_client import NyxClient

client = NyxClient()
subscribed_data = client.my_subscriptions()
for data in subscribed_data:
  print(f"Downloading data {data.name}")
  content = data.as_string() # NOTE: If this is a binary file, use as_bytes() instead.

👉 Gotchas

• If the Data has been deleted/disconnected from Nyx, the SDK will no longer be able to access it. Ensure that the data is still available.

The Nyx ecosystem is at an early stage of its development, please give us feedback through Github issues.

• If you get the SSL error httpcore.ConnectError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

then it may be that you need to set some environment variables like this before running your script:

CERT_PATH=$(python -m certifi)
export SSL_CERT_FILE=${CERT_PATH}
export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=${CERT_PATH}

🐞 Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, ensure that:

• Your virtual environment is activated.

• All required dependencies are installed.

• Environment variables are set correctly.

• If an issue persists, check the Issues section on github
