We are sunsetting our SDKs and will no longer add new features, security patches, bug fixes, or technical support for them. To access the latest capabilities and ongoing improvements, we encourage you to migrate to our Research Service RESTful API.SDK support will officially end on December 31, 2026. On this date, the underlying endpoints used by the SDKs and related documentation will be decommissioned.To avoid any disruption to your services, please ensure your migration is complete by that date.For migration assistance, please contact us at support@bigdata.com. Methods
Ask a question in the chat.
Parameters:
formatter
InlineAttributionFormatter | None
Whether to stream the response.
source_filter
list[Source] | list[str] | None = None
Provide a list of trusted sources to ground the response. Check Find Sources to learn how to curate a list of trusted sources.You can either provide the list of Source Objects directly from the response of the method find_sources or the list of source IDs. # Import classes from the bigdata-client Python SDK
from bigdata_client import Bigdata
# Log in to Bigdata
bigdata = Bigdata("YOUR_USERNAME", "YOUR_PASSWORD")
# Create a new chat
chat = bigdata.chat.new("Companies in quantum computing")
# Get source by name
sources = bigdata.knowledge_graph.find_sources("Bloomberg News")
print(sources)
# Ask a question with source filtering, so the response will contain data from your specified trusted sources.
response = chat.ask("Companies involved in quantum computing", source_filter=sources, streaming=True)
