hotdata

Official Python client for the Hotdata HTTP API: workspaces, connections, datasets, SQL queries, results, secrets, uploads, indexes, jobs, embedding providers, and workspace context.

Requirements

Python 3.9+

Install

pip install hotdata

For an unreleased revision:

pip install "git+https://github.com/hotdata-dev/sdk-python.git"

From a local checkout (editable):

pip install -e .

Authentication

The API uses an API key sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>, plus an X-Workspace-Id header on requests scoped to a workspace.

import hotdata

configuration = hotdata.Configuration(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
)

host defaults to https://api.hotdata.dev. Override it if you target another environment.

Usage

import hotdata
from hotdata.rest import ApiException

configuration = hotdata.Configuration(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
)

with hotdata.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    workspaces = hotdata.WorkspacesApi(api_client)
    try:
        response = workspaces.list_workspaces()
    except ApiException as e:
        print(f"API error: {e.status} {e.reason}\n{e.body}")

Each Api class groups endpoints by resource. Construct the client, then call the typed methods you need.

Arrow results

Query results can be fetched as an Apache Arrow IPC stream instead of JSON, which is faster and far more memory-efficient for large result sets. Install the optional extra:

pip install 'hotdata[arrow]'

Use hotdata.arrow.ResultsApi (a drop-in subclass of ResultsApi that adds Arrow methods):

from hotdata import ApiClient, Configuration
from hotdata.arrow import ResultsApi

with ApiClient(Configuration(api_key="...", workspace_id="...")) as client:
    results = ResultsApi(client)

    # Buffered: returns a pyarrow.Table.
    table = results.get_result_arrow(result_id)

    # Streaming: yields a pyarrow.RecordBatchStreamReader without
    # materializing the full table in memory.
    with results.stream_result_arrow(result_id) as reader:
        for batch in reader:
            ...

Both methods accept offset and limit for pagination. They raise hotdata.arrow.ResultNotReadyError if the result is still pending or processing — poll results.get_result(result_id) until status == "ready" first.
