nova-python

🐍 Python library for accessing the Nova API

Usage

Install the module (This requires Cargo)

$ pip install nova-python

Import the module

from nova_python import Endpoints, Models, NovaClient

Create an instance of NovaClient, using your API key

client = NovaClient("YOUR_API_KEY")

nova_python currently implements two enums: Endpoints and Models. Those contain:

Endpoints

• Endpoints.CHAT_COMPLETION
• Endpoints.MODERATION

Models

• Models.GPT3
• Models.GPT4
• Models.MODERATION_LATEST
• Models.MODERATION_STABLE

Now, to make a request, use the make_request function. For example:

from nova_python import Endpoints, Models, NovaClient
client = NovaClient("YOUR_API_KEY")

reponse = client.make_request(
    endpoint=Endpoints.CHAT_COMPLETION,
    model=Models.GPT3,
    data=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
)

...

or

from nova_python import Endpoints, Models, NovaClient
client = NovaClient("YOUR_API_KEY")

reponse = client.make_request(
    endpoint=Endpoints.MODERATION,
    model=Models.MODERATION_STABLE,
    data=[{"input": "I'm going to kill them."}]
)

...

If everything goes to plan, you'll receive a string containing JSON-Data, which you can then use in your project.

Note, that when using chat completion, as special ChatResponse-Instance get's returned.
You can access the reponse's json.data, by casting it to a string using the str method, like this:

...

str(reponse)

...

but more importantly, you can use it's get_message_content function, to directly get access to the chat reponse. Used like this:

...

content = reponse.get_message_content()

...

Happy prompting!
