Instantiating the SDK client

Whenever you call the Textual SDK, you first instantiate the SDK client.

• To work with Textual datasets, or to redact individual files, you instantiate TonicTextual.

• To work with Textual pipelines and parsing, you instantiate TonicTextualParse.

Instantiating when the API key is already configured

If the API key is configured as the value of the environment variable TONIC_TEXTUAL_API_KEY, then you do not need to provide the API key when you instantiate the SDK client.

For Textual pipelines:

from tonic_textual.parse_api import TonicTextualParse
# The default URL is https://textual.tonic.ai (Textual Cloud)
# If you host Textual, provide your Textual URL
textual_url = "<Textual URL>"
textual = TonicTextualParse(textual_url)

For Textual datasets:

from tonic_textual.redact_api import TonicTextual
# The default URL is https://textual.tonic.ai (Textual Cloud)
# If you host Textual, provide your Textual URL
textual_url = "<Textual URL>"
textual = TonicTextual(textual_url)

Instantiating when the API key is not configured

If the API key is not configured as the value of the environment variable TONIC_TEXTUAL_API_KEY, then you must include the API key in the request.

For Textual pipelines:

from tonic_textual.parse_api import TonicTextualParse
api_key = "your-tonic-textual-api-key"
# The default URL is https://textual.tonic.ai (Textual Cloud)
# If you host Textual, provide your Textual URL
textual_url = "<Textual URL>"
textual = TonicTextualParse(textual_url, api_key=api_key)

For Textual datasets:

from tonic_textual.redact_api import TonicTextual
api_key = "your-tonic-textual-api-key"
# The default URL is https://textual.tonic.ai (Textual Cloud)
# If you host Textual, provide your Textual URL
textual_url = "<Textual URL>"
textual = TonicTextual(textual_url, api_key=api_key)
