cognee API Reference

Overview

The Cognee API has:

  1. Python library configuration entry points
  2. FastAPI server

Python Library

Module: cognee.config

This module provides functionalities to configure various aspects of the system's operation in the cognee library. It interfaces with a set of Pydantic settings singleton classes to manage the system's configuration.

Overview

The config class in this module offers a series of static methods to configure the system's directories, various machine learning models, and other parameters.

Methods

system_root_directory(system_root_directory: str)

Sets the root directory of the system where essential system files and operations are managed. Parameters:
system_root_directory (str): The path to set as the system's root directory. Example:

cognee.config.system_root_directory('/path/to/system/root')

data_root_directory(data_root_directory: str)

Sets the directory for storing data used and generated by the system.
Parameters:
data_root_directory (str): The path to set as the data root directory.

Example:

import cognee
cognee.config.data_root_directory('/path/to/data/root')

set_classification_model(classification_model: object)

Assigns a machine learning model for classification tasks within the system.
Parameters:
classification_model (object): The Pydantic model to use for classification. Check cognee.shared.data_models for existing models. Example:

import cognee
cognee.config.set_classification_model(model)

set_summarization_model(summarization_model: object) Sets the Pydantic model to be used for summarization tasks.
Parameters:
summarization_model (object): The model to use for summarization. Check cognee.shared.data_models for existing models. Example:

import cognee
cognee.config.set_summarization_model(my_summarization_model)

set_llm_model(llm_model: object)

Determines the model to handle LLMs. Parameters:
llm_model (object): The model to use for LLMs. Example:

import cognee
cognee.config.set_llm_model("openai")

graph_database_provider(graph_engine: string)

Sets the engine to manage graph processing tasks. Parameters:
graph_database_provider (object): The engine for graph tasks. Example:

from cognee.shared.data_models import GraphDBType

cognee.config.set_graph_engine(GraphDBType.NEO4J)
