Find embedding providers (Python)

Gets information about embedding providers for automatic embedding generation, including supported providers, models, dimensions, and other configuration parameters.

Different databases might have different models available.

You need an application token with permission to interact with the target database, such as the Database Administrator role.

For more information, see Get endpoint and token.

Result

Returns a FindEmbeddingProvidersResult object that contains information about the the embedding providers.

The information in the response is arranged as a hierarchy of nested classes:

Parameters

Use the find_embedding_providers method, which belongs to the AstraDBDatabaseAdmin class.

Method signature
find_embedding_providers(
  *,
  filter_model_status: str | ModelStatus,
  database_admin_timeout_ms: int,
  request_timeout_ms: int,
  timeout_ms: int,
) -> FindEmbeddingProvidersResult
Name Type Summary

filter_model_status

ModelStatus or an equivalent string

Optional. Filters the available models by status.

Default: ModelStatus.SUPPORTED

database_admin_timeout_ms

int

Optional. A timeout, in milliseconds, to impose on the underlying API request. If not provided, the AstraDBDatabaseAdmin defaults apply.

This parameter is aliased as request_timeout_ms and timeout_ms for convenience.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to find embedding providers.

from astrapy import DataAPIClient

client = DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN")

admin = client.get_admin()

database_admin = admin.get_database_admin("API_ENDPOINT")

providers = database_admin.find_embedding_providers()

# Use the raw dict
print(providers.raw_info)

# Or work with the resulting object:

print(providers.embedding_providers.keys())

print(providers.embedding_providers["openai"])

print(providers.embedding_providers["openai"].parameters)

print(providers.embedding_providers["openai"].supported_authentication)

print(providers.embedding_providers["openai"].models[0])

print(providers.embedding_providers["openai"].models[0].parameters)
