Find reranking providers

Hybrid search, lexical search, and reranking are currently in public preview. Development is ongoing, and the features and functionality are subject to change. Astra DB Serverless, and the use of such, is subject to the DataStax Preview Terms.

Gets information about reranking providers for the find and rerank command, including supported providers, models, and 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

  • Python

  • TypeScript

  • Java

  • curl

Returns a FindRerankingProvidersResult object that contains information about the the reranking providers.

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

Returns a promise that resolves to a FindRerankingProvidersResult object that contains information about the the reranking providers.

The object contains a single key, rerankingProviders, which holds an untyped map with provider names as keys, and objects describing the provider as values.

Returns a FindRerankingProvidersResult object that contains information about the the reranking providers.

The object contains a single attribute, rerankingProviders, which holds an untyped map with provider names as keys, and objects describing the provider as values.

Returns an object that contains information about the reranking providers.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to find reranking providers.

  • Python

  • TypeScript

  • Java

  • curl

from astrapy import DataAPIClient

client = DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN")

admin = client.get_admin()

database_admin = admin.get_database_admin("API_ENDPOINT")

providers = database_admin.find_reranking_providers()

# Use the raw dict
print(providers.raw_info)

# Or work with the resulting object:

print(providers.reranking_providers.keys())

print(providers.reranking_providers["nvidia"])

print(providers.reranking_providers["nvidia"].models[0])
import { DataAPIClient } from "@datastax/astra-db-ts";

const client = new DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN");

const admin = client.admin();

const databaseAdmin = admin.dbAdmin("API_ENDPOINT");

(async function () {
  const providers = await databaseAdmin.findRerankingProviders();

  console.log(JSON.stringify(providers));
})();
import com.datastax.astra.client.DataAPIClient;
import com.datastax.astra.client.admin.DatabaseAdmin;
import com.datastax.astra.client.core.rerank.RerankProvider;
import com.datastax.astra.client.databases.Database;
import com.datastax.astra.client.databases.commands.results.FindRerankingProvidersResult;
import java.util.Map;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Database database = new DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN").getDatabase("API_ENDPOINT");

    DatabaseAdmin databaseAdmin = database.getDatabaseAdmin();

    FindRerankingProvidersResult result = databaseAdmin.findRerankingProviders();

    Map<String, RerankProvider> providers = result.getRerankingProviders();

    System.out.println(providers);
  }
}
curl -sS -L -X POST "API_ENDPOINT/api/json/v1" \
--header "Token: APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "findRerankingProviders": {
    "options": {
      "filterModelStatus": "SUPPORTED"
    }
  }
}'
