Configuration

This page explains how to configure the SDK using environment variables and optional client parameters.

Environment variables

Set these variables before running your code:

export T2E_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-access-token"
export T2E_WORKSPACE_NAME="workspaces/your-workspace"
export TEXT2EVERYTHING_BASE_URL="https://your-api-endpoint.com"  # Optional; omit to use default

Summary:

Variable	Required	Purpose	Default
T2E_ACCESS_TOKEN	Yes	Authenticates API requests	None (must set)
T2E_WORKSPACE_NAME	Yes	Selects workspace scope	None (must set)
TEXT2EVERYTHING_BASE_URL	No	Overrides base API endpoint	Built-in default

If TEXT2EVERYTHING_BASE_URL is not set, the client uses the default endpoint.

Basic usage

import os
from text2everything_sdk import Text2EverythingClient

client = Text2EverythingClient(
    base_url=os.getenv("TEXT2EVERYTHING_BASE_URL"),  # May be None; default applied internally
    access_token=os.getenv("T2E_ACCESS_TOKEN"),
    workspace_name=os.getenv("T2E_WORKSPACE_NAME"),
)

You can provide values directly (discouraged for secrets):

client = Text2EverythingClient(
    base_url="https://your-api-endpoint.com",
    access_token="your-token",
    workspace_name="workspaces/dev",
)

Advanced options

Optional tuning parameters:

Parameter	Type	Purpose
timeout	int	Per-request timeout (seconds)
max_retries	int	Retry attempts for transient failures
retry_delay	float	Delay between retries (seconds)

Example:

client = Text2EverythingClient(
    base_url="https://your-api-endpoint.com",
    access_token="your-token",
    workspace_name="workspaces/dev",
    timeout=60,
    max_retries=5,
    retry_delay=2.0,
)

Context manager usage

Use a context manager to ensure resources (like HTTP sessions) are released:

from text2everything_sdk import Text2EverythingClient

with Text2EverythingClient(base_url="https://your-api-endpoint.com", access_token="your-token", workspace_name="workspaces/dev") as client:
    for project in client.projects.list():
        print(project.name)

Next steps

Proceed to the quick start or advanced integration guides after configuration.
