The Valyu Python SDK provides comprehensive access to all Valyu APIs, enabling you to build powerful AI applications with search, content extraction, and answer generation capabilities.

​
Features

The SDK includes three core APIs:
  • Search API - Advanced search across web and proprietary data sources
  • Contents API - Extract and process content from URLs with AI
  • Answer API - AI-powered answer generation with search integration

​
Installation

Install the Valyu Python SDK using pip: 
pip install valyu

​
Authentication

Get your API key from Valyu Platform (free $10 credits included). Set up authentication in one of two ways: 
export VALYU_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

from valyu import Valyu

# Automatically uses VALYU_API_KEY from environment
valyu = Valyu()

​
Direct API Key

from valyu import Valyu

valyu = Valyu("your-api-key-here")

​
Quick Start

Here’s a simple example to get you started with search: 
from valyu import Valyu

valyu = Valyu()

# Basic search example
search_response = valyu.search(
    "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?"
)

print(f"Found {len(search_response.results)} results")
for result in search_response.results:
    print(f"Title: {result.title}")
    print(f"URL: {result.url}")
    print(f"Content preview: {result.content[:200]}...")

​
Error Handling

The SDK includes built-in error handling and validation: 
response = valyu.search("test query")

if not response.success:
    print("Search failed:", response.error)
    return

# Process successful results
for result in response.results:
    # Handle each result
    pass
