SOCO.ai JavaScript/TypeScript Client

NodeJS client for SOCO.ai.

• SOCO.ai
• SOCO Documentation

Install

npm install soco.ai

Usage

import { SocoClient, Config } from 'soco.ai';

const config: Config = {
  adminApiKey: '...', // needed for Admin APIs
  clientId: '...', // needed for APIs & Parse Doc API
  queryApiKey: '...',// needed for Query APIs
};
const client = new SocoClient(config);

Query / Search

Using:

• https://docs.soco.ai/soco-api/operation-guide/information-retrieval

import { QueryRequest } from 'soco.ai';
const request: QueryRequest = {
  uid: 'ID of the end user',
  query: {
    query: 'who is Jimmy?',
    n_best: 3
  }
};
const answers = await client.query(request);

Waiting for Operation to Finish

It is possible to pass waitUntilOpFinished to SocoClient functions, that call APIs that return an operation ID, which will make the function wait until the operation is finished or failed. The default value of waitUntilOpFinished is false. If waitUntilOpFinished set to true,

const waitUntilOpFinished = true;
const response = await client.addDocs(request, waitUntilOpFinished);

The function that waits for operation to be finished is available as well.

const operationId = '...';
const status = client.waitUntilFinished(operationId);

Examples

Load CSV and PDF data

CSV files with FAQ need to be in this structure. There can/should be multiple questions leading to a single answer to improve matching accuracy.

question         ,answer
how are you doing,I am doing fine
how is it going  ,I am doing fine
how is life      ,It is fine
how old are you  ,I am 42 years old
what is your age ,I am 42 years old

import { SocoClient, Config, ReindexRequest, ParseDocRequest } from "soco.ai";

const pdfFile = "http://path to your pdf.pdf"; // there is no OCR, plain text needs to be in the PDF 
const csvFolder = "/Users/path to your folder with CSV files";

async function loadData() {
  // create config with secrets 
  const config: Config = {
    adminApiKey: "copy paste the key here from https://app.soco.ai",
    clientId: "copy paste the key here from https://app.soco.ai",
    queryApiKey: "copy paste the key here from https://app.soco.ai"
  };
  // create SOCO client
  const client = new SocoClient(config);
 
  // delete all the docs from SOCO (if needed, to ensure clean start)
  await client.deleteDocs({ doc_ids: undefined, auto_index: true }, true);
  
  // refresh all indexes
  const request: ReindexRequest = {
    params: { lm: {}, qa: {}, kw: {}, qq: {}, tuple: {} }
  };
  await client.reindex(request, true);
  
  // add FAQs from CSV files
  await client.addFAQsFromCSVs(csvFolder, {}, true, true);
 
  // add content of PDF file (unstructured data)
  const parseRequest: ParseDocRequest = {
    client_id: config.clientId,
    file_type: "url",
    file_url: pdfFile,
    lang: "en"
  };
  await client.addUnstructuredDoc(parseRequest, {}, true, true);

  // refresh all indexes
  await client.reindex(request, true);
}

loadData()
  .then(_ => console.log("Done"))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));
