langchain.chains.api.base.APIChain¶
class langchain.chains.api.base.APIChain[source]¶
Bases: Chain
Chain that makes API calls and summarizes the responses to answer a question.
Security Note: This API chain uses the requests toolkitto make GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, and DELETE requests to an API.
Exercise care in who is allowed to use this chain. If exposing
to end users, consider that users will be able to make arbitrary
requests on behalf of the server hosting the code. For example,
users could ask the server to make a request to a private API
that is only accessible from the server.
Control access to who can submit issue requests using this toolkit and
what network access it has.
See https://python.langchain.com/docs/security for more information.
Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.
Raises ValidationError if the input data cannot be parsed to form a valid model.
param api_answer_chain: LLMChain [Required]¶
param api_docs: str [Required]¶
param api_request_chain: LLMChain [Required]¶
param callback_manager: Optional[BaseCallbackManager] = None¶
Deprecated, use callbacks instead.
param callbacks: Callbacks = None¶
Optional list of callback handlers (or callback manager). Defaults to None.
Callback handlers are called throughout the lifecycle of a call to a chain,
starting with on_chain_start, ending with on_chain_end or on_chain_error.
Each custom chain can optionally call additional callback methods, see Callback docs
for full details.
param limit_to_domains: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None¶
Use to limit the domains that can be accessed by the API chain.
For example, to limit to just the domain https://www.example.com, setlimit_to_domains=[“https://www.example.com”].


The default value is an empty tuple, which means that no domains are
allowed by default. By design this will raise an error on instantiation.
Use a None if you want to allow all domains by default – this is not
recommended for security reasons, as it would allow malicious users to
make requests to arbitrary URLS including internal APIs accessible from
the server.
param memory: Optional[BaseMemory] = None¶
Optional memory object. Defaults to None.
Memory is a class that gets called at the start
and at the end of every chain. At the start, memory loads variables and passes
them along in the chain. At the end, it saves any returned variables.
There are many different types of memory - please see memory docs
for the full catalog.
param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None¶
Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
This metadata will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.
param requests_wrapper: TextRequestsWrapper [Required]¶
param tags: Optional[List[str]] = None¶
Optional list of tags associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
These tags will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.
param verbose: bool [Optional]¶
Whether or not run in verbose mode. In verbose mode, some intermediate logs
will be printed to the console. Defaults to the global verbose value,
accessible via langchain.globals.get_verbose().


accessible via langchain.globals.get_verbose().

prep_outputs(inputs: Dict[str, str], outputs: Dict[str, str], return_only_outputs: bool = False) → Dict[str, str]¶
Validate and prepare chain outputs, and save info about this run to memory.
Parameters
inputs – Dictionary of chain inputs, including any inputs added by chain
memory.
outputs – Dictionary of initial chain outputs.
return_only_outputs – Whether to only return the chain outputs. If False,
inputs are also added to the final outputs.
Returns
A dict of the final chain outputs.
run(*args: Any, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any¶
Convenience method for executing chain.
The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this
method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or
keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary
with all the inputs
Parameters
*args – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the
sole positional argument.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in
addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only


addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
**kwargs – If the chain expects multiple inputs, they can be passed in
directly as keyword arguments.
Returns
The chain output.
Example
# Suppose we have a single-input chain that takes a 'question' string:
chain.run("What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?")
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."
# Suppose we have a multi-input chain that takes a 'question' string
# and 'context' string:
question = "What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?"
context = "Weather report for Boise, Idaho on 07/03/23..."
chain.run(question=question, context=context)
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."
save(file_path: Union[Path, str]) → None¶
Save the chain.
Expects Chain._chain_type property to be implemented and for memory to benull.
Parameters
file_path – Path to file to save the chain to.
Example
chain.save(file_path="path/chain.yaml")
classmethod schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: unicode = '#/definitions/{model}') → DictStrAny¶
classmethod schema_json(*, by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: unicode = '#/definitions/{model}', **dumps_kwargs: Any) → unicode¶
stream(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Iterator[Output]¶
Default implementation of stream, which calls invoke.
Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.
to_json() → Union[SerializedConstructor, SerializedNotImplemented]¶
to_json_not_implemented() → SerializedNotImplemented¶


to_json_not_implemented() → SerializedNotImplemented¶
transform(input: Iterator[Input], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Iterator[Output]¶
Default implementation of transform, which buffers input and then calls stream.
Subclasses should override this method if they can start producing output while
input is still being generated.
classmethod update_forward_refs(**localns: Any) → None¶
Try to update ForwardRefs on fields based on this Model, globalns and localns.
classmethod validate(value: Any) → Model¶
with_config(config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Runnable[Input, Output]¶
Bind config to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.
with_fallbacks(fallbacks: Sequence[Runnable[Input, Output]], *, exceptions_to_handle: Tuple[Type[BaseException], ...] = (<class 'Exception'>,)) → RunnableWithFallbacksT[Input, Output]¶
Add fallbacks to a runnable, returning a new Runnable.
Parameters
fallbacks – A sequence of runnables to try if the original runnable fails.
exceptions_to_handle – A tuple of exception types to handle.
Returns
A new Runnable that will try the original runnable, and then each
fallback in order, upon failures.
with_listeners(*, on_start: Optional[Listener] = None, on_end: Optional[Listener] = None, on_error: Optional[Listener] = None) → Runnable[Input, Output]¶
Bind lifecycle listeners to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.
on_start: Called before the runnable starts running, with the Run object.
on_end: Called after the runnable finishes running, with the Run object.
on_error: Called if the runnable throws an error, with the Run object.
The Run object contains information about the run, including its id,


The Run object contains information about the run, including its id,
type, input, output, error, start_time, end_time, and any tags or metadata
added to the run.
with_retry(*, retry_if_exception_type: ~typing.Tuple[~typing.Type[BaseException], ...] = (<class 'Exception'>,), wait_exponential_jitter: bool = True, stop_after_attempt: int = 3) → Runnable[Input, Output]¶
Create a new Runnable that retries the original runnable on exceptions.
Parameters
retry_if_exception_type – A tuple of exception types to retry on
wait_exponential_jitter – Whether to add jitter to the wait time
between retries
stop_after_attempt – The maximum number of attempts to make before giving up
Returns
A new Runnable that retries the original runnable on exceptions.
with_types(*, input_type: Optional[Type[Input]] = None, output_type: Optional[Type[Output]] = None) → Runnable[Input, Output]¶
Bind input and output types to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.
