Mastering Cohere and FastAPI: A Comprehensive Tutorial for AI Enthusiasts

In today's digital landscape, tabular data is an essential format for storing and exchanging information. This data structure is pivotal across various applications, including data warehouses, data lakes, and data marts. In this tutorial, we will delve into creating a FastAPI application that seamlessly integrates with Cohere, enabling the extraction of valuable data from tables. This method is crucial for developing applications such as bots, dashboards, and data explorers that rely on efficient data retrieval.

Getting Started

Before we dive into coding, it’s essential to have the necessary tools at your disposal. Let’s set up a new project using your command-line interface:

  1. Create a new directory for your project.
  2. Change into that directory.
  3. Create a .env file in your project folder and add your Cohere API key there.

Next, you will need to install the necessary libraries to create a FastAPI application. Use the following command:

pip install fastapi[all] cohere

Writing the Application

Now, we can create the app.py file and start writing our application code.

Importing Libraries

Let’s begin by importing the required libraries:

from fastapi import FastAPI
import cohere

app = FastAPI()

Setting Up Cohere Client

Next, we need to establish a connection with Cohere:

cohere_client = cohere.Client('YOUR_COHERE_API_KEY')

Defining Example Data

For this tutorial, we will define some example data that we will use:

example_data = [
    {'id': 1, 'text': 'First example data point'},
    {'id': 2, 'text': 'Second example data point'},
]

Creating Request Handlers

Now, we can create the request handler for our FastAPI application:

@app.get('/data')
async def get_data():
    return example_data

Running the Application

To run your application, use the following command:

uvicorn app:app --reload

Testing the Application

With the application running, we can now test it by querying it:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/data

This will return the example data defined in our application.

Wrapping Up

FastAPI and Cohere combine to create a powerful toolset for AI applications. This tutorial aimed to illuminate the path to harnessing these technologies to retrieve data efficiently.

The synergy between FastAPI's simplicity and Cohere's robust capabilities makes them an ideal choice for developers at any stage of their journey. Whether you are an expert or a novice, these tools empower you to build applications that are both effective and innovative.
