Please report unacceptable behavior to haystack@deepset.ai.\n\n## I Have a Question\n\nBefore you ask a question, it is best to search for existing [Issues](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues) that might help you. In case you have\nfound a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue. It is also advisable to\nsearch the internet for answers first.\n\nIf you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, you can use [Haystack's Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/xYvH6drSmA).\n\n## Reporting Bugs\n\n### Before Submitting a Bug Report\n\nA good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to\ninvestigate carefully, collect information, and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the\nfollowing steps in advance to help us fix any potential bugs as fast as possible.\n\n- Make sure that you are using the latest version.\n- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side, for example, using incompatible versions.\n Make sure that you have read the [documentation](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/intro). If you are looking\n for support, you might want to check [this section](#i-have-a-question).\n- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there\n is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the [bug tracker](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues).\n- Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside of the GitHub community have\n discussed the issue.\n- Collect information about the bug:\n - OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)\n - Version of Haystack and the integrations you're using\n - Possibly your input and the output\n - If you can reliably reproduce the issue, a snippet of code we can use\n\n### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?\n\n> [!IMPORTANT]\n> You must never report security-related issues, vulnerabilities, or bugs, including sensitive information, to the issue tracker, or elsewhere in public. Instead, sensitive bugs must be reported using [this link](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/security/advisories/new).\n\nWe use GitHub issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:\n\n- Open an [Issue of type Bug Report](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&projects=&template=bug_report.md&title=).\n- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.\n- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the *reproduction steps* that someone else can follow to\n recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports, you should isolate the problem\n and create a reduced test case.\n- Provide the information you collected in the previous section.\n\nOnce it's filed:\n\n- The project team will label the issue accordingly.\n- A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no\n obvious way to reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps.\n- If the team is able to reproduce it, the issue will be scheduled for a fix or left to be\n [picked up by a community contributor](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A\"Contributions%20wanted!\").\n\n## Suggesting Enhancements\n\nThis section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion, including new integrations and improvements\nto existing ones. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and\nfind related suggestions.\n\n### Before Submitting an Enhancement\n\n- Make sure that you are using the latest version.\n- Read the [documentation](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/intro) carefully and find out if the functionality\n is already covered, possibly via particular configuration parameters.\n- Perform a [search](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues) to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the\n existing issue instead of opening a new one.\n- Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to\n convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that will be\n useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a minority of users,\n consider writing and distributing the integration on your own.\n\n### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?\n\nEnhancement suggestions are tracked as GitHub issues of type [Feature request](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues/new?template=feature_request.md).\n\n- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the suggestion.\n- Fill in the issue following the template\n\n## Contributing to Documentation\n\nIf you'd like to improve the documentation by fixing errors, clarifying explanations, adding examples, or creating new guides, see the [Documentation Contributing Guide](docs-website/CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## Contribute code\n\n> [!IMPORTANT]\n> When contributing to this project, you must agree that you have authored or carefully reviewed 100% of the content, that you have the necessary rights to the content and that the content you contribute may be provided under the project license.\n\n### Where to start\n\nIf this is your first code contribution, a good starting point is looking for an open issue that's marked with the label\n[\"good first issue\"](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).\nThe core contributors periodically mark certain issues as good for first-time contributors. Those issues are usually\nlimited in scope, easily fixable and low priority, so there is absolutely no reason why you should not try fixing them.\nIt's a good excuse to start looking into the project and a safe space to experiment and fail: if you don't get the\ngrasp of something, pick another one! Once you become comfortable contributing to Haystack, you can have a look at the\nlist of issues marked as [contributions wanted](https://github.com/orgs/deepset-ai/projects/14/views/1) to look for your\nnext contribution!\n\n### Issues not open for external contributions\n\nSome issues are handled internally by the core team and are **not open for external contributions**. You may see a\ncomment on such issues like:\n\n> 👋 Hello there! This issue will be handled internally and isn't open for external contributions. If you'd like to contribute, please take a look at issues labeled **contributions welcome** or **good first issue**. We'd really appreciate it!\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> **Please do not open pull requests for issues that are marked or commented as handled internally.** Your work may not be merged. Instead, look for issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) or [contributions wanted](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A\"Contributions%20wanted!\") — we'd love your help there!\n\n### Example high-quality contributions\n\nLooking at strong pull requests is a great way to learn our standards. Example high-quality PRs: [#9270](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/pull/9270), [#9227](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/pull/9227), [#9271](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/pull/9271), [#8648](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/pull/8648), [#8767](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/pull/8767). Use them as references for structure, testing, documentation, and how to describe changes in the PR description and release notes.\n\n### Using AI assistants to contribute\n\nYou may use AI assistants or agents to help you implement a contribution. Please use them wisely:\n\n- **Review and understand** all generated code before submitting. You are responsible for the contribution.\n- **Run tests and checks** locally (e.g. `hatch run test:unit`, `hatch run fmt`) so your PR meets our quality bar.\n- **If your PR was fully AI-generated**, add a short disclaimer in the PR description, for example: *\"This PR was\n fully generated with an AI assistant. I have reviewed the changes and run the relevant tests.\"*\n\nThis helps maintainers and keeps the project ready for both human and AI contributors.\n\n### Setting up your development environment\n\n*To run Haystack tests locally, ensure your development environment uses Python >=3.10 and <3.14.*\n\nHaystack makes heavy use of [Hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/), a Python project manager that we use to set up the\nvirtual environments, build the project, and publish packages. As you can imagine, the first step towards becoming a\nHaystack contributor is installing Hatch. There are a variety of installation methods depending on your operating system\nplatform, version, and personal taste: please have a look at [this page](https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/install/#installation)\nand keep reading once you can run from your terminal:\n\n```console\n$ hatch --version\nHatch, version 1.14.1\n```\n\nYou can create a new virtual environment for Haystack with `hatch` by running:\n\n```console\n$ hatch shell\n```\n\n### Clone the git repository\n\nYou won't be able to make changes directly to this repo, so the first step is to [create a fork](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo).\nOnce your fork is ready, you can clone a local copy with:\n\n```console\n$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/haystack\n```\n\nIf everything worked, you should be able to do something like this (the output might be different):\n\n```console\n$ cd haystack\n$ hatch version\n2.3.0-rc0\n```\n\nLast, install the pre-commit hooks with:\n\n```bash\npre-commit install\n```\n\nThis utility will run some tasks right before all `git commit` operations. From now on, your `git commit` output for\nHaystack should look something like this:\n\n```\n> git commit -m \"test\"\ncheck python ast.........................................................Passed\ncheck json...........................................(no files to check)Skipped\ncheck for merge conflicts................................................Passed\ncheck that scripts with shebangs are executable..........................Passed\ncheck toml...........................................(no files to check)Skipped\ncheck yaml...........................................(no files to check)Skipped\nfix end of files.........................................................Passed\nmixed line ending........................................................Passed\ndon't commit to branch...................................................Passed\ntrim trailing whitespace.................................................Passed\nruff.....................................................................Passed\ncodespell................................................................Passed\nLint GitHub Actions workflow files...................(no files to check)Skipped\n[massi/contrib d18a2577] test\n 2 files changed, 178 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-)\n```\n\n### Run the tests locally\n\nTests will automatically run in our CI for every commit you push to your PR on Github. In order to save precious CI time, we encourage you to run the tests locally before pushing new commits to Github. From the root of the git repository, you can run all the unit tests like this:\n\n```sh\nhatch run test:unit\n```\n\nHatch will create a dedicated virtual environment, sync the required dependencies and run all the unit tests from the\nproject. If you want to run a subset of the tests or even one test in particular, `hatch` will accept all the\noptions you would normally pass to `pytest`, for example:\n\n```sh\n# run one test method from a specific test class in a test file\nhatch run test:unit test/test_logging.py::TestSkipLoggingConfiguration::test_skip_logging_configuration\n```\n\n### Run code quality checks locally\n\nWe also use tools to ensure consistent code style, quality, and static type checking. The quality of your code will be\ntested by the CI, but once again, running the checks locally will speed up the review cycle.\n\n\nTo check for static type errors, run:\n```sh\nhatch run test:types\n```\n\nTo format your code and perform linting using Ruff (with automatic fixes), run:\n```sh\nhatch run fmt\n```\n\n\n## Requirements for Pull Requests\n\nTo ease the review process, please follow the instructions in this paragraph when creating a Pull Request:\n\n- For the title, use the [conventional commit convention](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/).\n- For the body, follow the existing [pull request template](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/.github/pull_request_template.md) to describe and document your changes.\n- If you used an AI assistant and the PR was **fully AI-generated**, include a brief disclaimer in the PR description\n (see [Using AI assistants to contribute](#using-ai-assistants-to-contribute)).\n\n### Release notes\n\nEach PR must include a release notes file under the `releasenotes/notes` path created with `reno`, and a CI check will\nfail if that's not the case. Pull requests with changes limited to tests, code comments or docstrings, and changes to\nthe CI/CD systems can be labeled with `ignore-for-release-notes` by a maintainer in order to bypass the CI check.\n\nFor example, if your PR is bumping the `transformers` version in the `pyproject.toml` file, that's something that\nrequires release notes. To create the corresponding file, from the root of the repo run:\n\n```\n$ hatch run release-note bump-transformers-to-4-31\n```\n\nA release notes file in YAML format will be created in the appropriate folder, appending a unique id to the name of the\nrelease note you provided (in this case, `bump-transformers-to-4-31`). To add the actual content of the release notes,\nyou must edit the file that's just been created. In the file, you will find multiple sections along with an explanation\nof what they're for. You have to remove all the sections that don't fit your release notes, in this case for example\nyou would fill in the `enhancements` section to describe the change:\n\n```yaml\nenhancements:\n - |\n Upgrade transformers to the latest version 4.31.0 so that Haystack can support the new LLama2 models.\n```\n\nEach section of the YAML file must follow [reStructuredText formatting](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html).\n\nFor inline code, use double backticks to wrap the code.\n```\n``OpenAIChatGenerator``\n```\n\nFor code blocks, use the [code block directive](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/directives.html#directive-code-block).\n\n```\n.. code:: python\n from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello!\")\n print(message.text)\n```\n\nYou can now add the file to the same branch containing the code changes. Your release note will be part of your pull\nrequest and reviewed along with any code you changed.\n\n## CI (Continuous Integration)\n\nWe use GitHub Action for our Continuous Integration tasks. This means that as soon as you open a PR, GitHub will start\nexecuting some workflows on your changes, like automated tests, linting, formatting, api docs generation, etc.\n\nIf all goes well, at the bottom of your PR page you should see something like this, where all checks are green.\n\n![Successful CI](images/ci-success.png)\n\nIf you see some red checks (like the following), then something didn't work, and action is needed on your side.\n\n![Failed CI](images/ci-failure-example.png)\n\nClick on the failing test and see if there are instructions at the end of the logs of the failed test.\nFor example, in the case above, the CI will give you instructions on how to fix the issue.\n\n![Logs of failed CI, with instructions for fixing the failure](images/ci-failure-example-instructions.png)\n\n## Working from GitHub forks\n\nTo help maintainers, we usually ask contributors to grant us push access to their fork.\n\nTo do so, please verify that \"Allow edits and access to secrets by maintainers\" on the PR preview page is checked\n(you can check it later on the PR's sidebar once it's created).\n\n![Allow access to your branch to maintainers](images/first_time_contributor_enable_access.png)\n\n## Writing tests\n\nWe formally define three scopes for tests in Haystack with different requirements and purposes:\n\n### Unit test\n- Tests a single logical concept\n- Execution time is a few milliseconds\n- Any external resource is mocked\n- Always returns the same result\n- Can run in any order\n- Runs at every commit in PRs, automated through `hatch run test:unit`\n- Can run locally with no additional setup\n- **Goal: being confident in merging code**\n\n### Integration test\n- Tests a single logical concept\n- Execution time is a few seconds\n- It uses external resources that must be available before execution\n- When using models, cannot use inference\n- Always returns the same result or an error\n- Can run in any order\n- Runs at every commit in PRs, automated through `hatch run test:integration`\n- Can run locally with some additional setup (e.g. Docker)\n- **Goal: being confident in merging code**\n\n### End to End (e2e) test\n- Tests a sequence of multiple logical concepts\n- Execution time has no limits (can be always on)\n- Can use inference\n- Evaluates the results of the execution or the status of the system\n- It uses external resources that must be available before execution\n- Can return different results\n- Can be dependent on the order\n- Can be wrapped into any process execution\n- Runs outside the development cycle (nightly or on demand)\n- Might not be possible to run locally due to system and hardware requirements\n- **Goal: being confident in releasing Haystack**\n\n### Slow/unstable Integration Tests (for maintainers)\n\nTo keep the CI stable and reasonably fast, we run certain tests in a separate workflow.\n\nWe use `@pytest.mark.slow` for tests that clearly meet one or more of the following conditions:\n- Unstable (such as call unstable external services)\n- Slow (such as model inference on CPU)\n- Require special setup (such as installing system dependencies, running Docker containers).\n\n⚠️ The main goal of this separation is to keep the regular integration tests fast and **stable**.\n\nWe should try to avoid including too many modules in the Slow Integration Tests workflow: doing so may reduce its effectiveness.\n\n#### How does it work?\n\nThese tests are executed by the [Slow Integration Tests workflow](.github/workflows/slow.yml).\n\nThe workflow always runs, but the tests only execute when:\n\n- There are changes to relevant files (as listed in the [workflow file](.github/workflows/slow.yml)).\n **Important**: If you mark a test but do not include both the test file and the file to be tested in the list, the test won't run automatically.\n- The workflow is scheduled (runs nightly).\n- The workflow is triggered manually (with the \"Run workflow\" button on [this page](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/actions/workflows/slow.yml)).\n- The PR has the \"run-slow-tests\" label (you can use this label to trigger the tests even if no relevant files are changed).\n- The push is to a release branch.\n\nIf none of the above conditions are met, the workflow completes successfully without running tests to satisfy Branch Protection rules.\n\n*Hatch commands for running Integration Tests*:\n- `hatch run test:integration` runs all integrations tests (fast + slow).\n- `hatch run test:integration-only-fast` skips the slow tests.\n- `hatch run test:integration-only-slow` runs only slow tests.\n\n## Contributor Licence Agreement (CLA)\n\nSignificant contributions to Haystack require a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). If the contribution requires a CLA,\nwe will get in contact with you. CLAs are quite common among company-backed open-source frameworks, and our CLA’s wording\nis similar to other popular projects, like [Rasa](https://cla-assistant.io/RasaHQ/rasa) or\n[Google's Tensorflow](https://cla.developers.google.com/clas/new?domain=DOMAIN_GOOGLE&kind=KIND_INDIVIDUAL)\n(retrieved 4th November 2021).\n\nThe agreement's main purpose is to protect the continued open use of Haystack. At the same time, it also helps in\n\\protecting you as a contributor. Contributions under this agreement will ensure that your code will continue to be\nopen to everyone in the future (“You hereby grant to Deepset **and anyone** [...]”) as well as remove liabilities on\nyour end (“you provide your Contributions on an AS IS basis, without warranties or conditions of any kind [...]”). You\ncan find the Contributor Licence Agreement [here](https://cla-assistant.io/deepset-ai/haystack).\n\nIf you have further questions about the licensing, feel free to reach out to contributors@deepset.ai." }, { "path": "LICENSE", "content": "\n Apache License\n Version 2.0, January 2004\n http://www.apache.org/licenses/\n\n TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION\n\n 1.

\n\n[Haystack](https://haystack.deepset.ai/) is an open-source AI orchestration framework for building production-ready LLM applications in Python.\n\nDesign modular pipelines and agent workflows with explicit control over retrieval, routing, memory, and generation. Build scalable RAG systems, multimodal applications, semantic search, question answering, and autonomous agents, all in a transparent architecture that lets you experiment, customize deeply, and deploy with confidence.\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n- [Installation](#installation)\n- [Documentation](#documentation)\n- [Features](#features)\n- [Haystack Enterprise: Support & Platform](#haystack-enterprise-support--platform)\n- [Telemetry](#telemetry)\n- [🖖 Community](#-community)\n- [Contributing to Haystack](#contributing-to-haystack)\n- [Organizations using Haystack](#organizations-using-haystack)\n\n\n## Installation\n\nThe simplest way to get Haystack is via pip:\n\n```sh\npip install haystack-ai\n```\n\nInstall nightly pre-releases to try the newest features:\n```sh\npip install --pre haystack-ai\n```\n\nHaystack supports multiple installation methods, including Docker images. For a comprehensive guide, please refer\nto the [documentation](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/installation).\n\n## Documentation\n\nIf you're new to the project, check out [\"What is Haystack?\"](https://haystack.deepset.ai/overview/intro) then go\nthrough the [\"Get Started Guide\"](https://haystack.deepset.ai/overview/quick-start) and build your first LLM application\nin a matter of minutes. Keep learning with the [tutorials](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials). For more advanced\nuse cases, or just to get some inspiration, you can browse our Haystack recipes in the\n[Cookbook](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook).\n\nAt any given point, hit the [documentation](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/intro) to learn more about Haystack, what it can do for you, and the technology behind.\n\n## Features\n\n**Built for context engineering** \nDesign flexible systems with explicit control over how information is retrieved, ranked, filtered, combined, structured, and routed before it reaches the model. Define pipelines and agent workflows where retrieval, memory, tools, and generation are transparent and traceable.\n\n**Model- and vendor-agnostic** \nIntegrate with OpenAI, Mistral, Anthropic, Cohere, Hugging Face, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, local models, and many others. Swap models or infrastructure components without rewriting your system.\n\n**Modular and customizable** \nUse built-in components for retrieval, indexing, tool calling, memory, and evaluation, or create your own. Add loops, branches, and conditional logic to precisely control how context moves through your pipelines and agent workflows.\n\n**Extensible ecosystem** \nBuild and share custom components through a consistent interface that makes it easy for the community and third parties to extend Haystack and contribute to an open ecosystem.\n\n> [!TIP]\n> \n> Would you like to deploy and serve Haystack pipelines as **REST APIs** or **MCP servers**? [Hayhooks](https://github.com/deepset-ai/hayhooks) provides a simple way for you to wrap pipelines and agents with custom logic and expose them through HTTP endpoints or MCP. It also supports OpenAI-compatible chat completion endpoints and works with chat UIs like [open-webui](https://openwebui.com/).\n\n## Haystack Enterprise: Support & Platform\n\nGet expert support from the Haystack team, build faster with enterprise-grade templates, and scale securely with deployment guides for cloud and on-prem environments with **Haystack Enterprise Starter**.

Reproducible steps to trigger the vulnerability.\n2. An explanation of what makes you think there is a vulnerability.\n3. Any information you may have on active exploitations of the vulnerability (zero-day).\n4. An explanation of why you believe the vulnerability is not out of scope. See the Out of Scope section below.\n\nWe encourage reports that are meaningful, high-impact, and reviewed by a human before submission. Fully automated or AI-generated reports submitted without human review and validation are unlikely to meet this bar and risk being declined.\n\n## Out of Scope\n\nHaystack is a framework intended to run inside a trusted execution environment. It assumes that the application built with it has already validated and sanitized user-supplied input before passing it to the framework. Validation and sanitization of input, for example URLs, file paths, filter expressions, and queries, are the responsibility of the application, not Haystack.\n\nAny vulnerability that can only be triggered by passing unsanitized, attacker-controlled input to Haystack is considered out of scope.

\n \"Haystack\n

\n\n[Haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack) is an end-to-end LLM framework that allows you to build applications powered by LLMs, Transformer models, vector search and more. Whether you want to perform retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), document search, question answering or answer generation, Haystack can orchestrate state-of-the-art embedding models and LLMs into pipelines to build end-to-end NLP applications and solve your use case.\n\n## Haystack 2.x\n\nFor the latest version of Haystack there's only one image available:\n\n- `haystack:base-` contains a working Python environment with Haystack preinstalled. This image is expected to\n be derived `FROM`.\n\n## Image Development\n\nImages are built with BuildKit and we use `bake` to orchestrate the process.\nYou can build a specific image by running:\n```sh\ndocker buildx bake base\n```\n\nYou can override any `variable` defined in the `docker-bake.hcl` file and build custom\nimages, for example if you want to use a branch from the Haystack repo, run:\n```sh\nHAYSTACK_VERSION=mybranch_or_tag BASE_IMAGE_TAG_SUFFIX=latest docker buildx bake base --no-cache\n```\n\n### Multi-Platform Builds\n\nHaystack images support multiple architectures. But depending on your operating system and Docker\nenvironment, you might not be able to build all of them locally.\n\nYou may encounter the following error when trying to build the image:\n\n```\nmultiple platforms feature is currently not supported for docker driver. Please switch to a different driver\n(eg. “docker buildx create --use”)\n```\n\nTo get around this, you need to override the `platform` option and limit local builds to the same architecture as\nyour computer's. For example, on an Apple M1 you can limit the builds to ARM only by invoking `bake` like this:\n\n```sh\ndocker buildx bake base --set \"*.platform=linux/arm64\"\n```\n\n# License\n\nView [license information](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/LICENSE) for\nthe software contained in this image.\n\nAs with all Docker images, these likely also contain other software which may be under\nother licenses (such as Bash, etc from the base distribution, along with any direct or\nindirect dependencies of the primary software being contained).\n\nAs for any pre-built image usage, it is the image user's responsibility to ensure that any\nuse of this image complies with any relevant licenses for all software contained within.\n" }, { "path": "docker/docker-bake.hcl", "content": "variable \"HAYSTACK_VERSION\" {\n default = \"main\"\n}\n\nvariable \"GITHUB_REF\" {\n default = \"\"\n}\n\nvariable \"IMAGE_NAME\" {\n default = \"deepset/haystack\"\n}\n\nvariable \"IMAGE_TAG_SUFFIX\" {\n default = \"local\"\n}\n\nvariable \"BASE_IMAGE_TAG_SUFFIX\" {\n default = \"local\"\n}\n\nvariable \"IS_STABLE\" {\n default = \"false\"\n}\n\n# 2.Y.Z releases are also tagged as \"stable\"\n# Example: 2.99.0 is tagged as base-2.99.0 and stable\n\ntarget \"base\" {\n dockerfile = \"Dockerfile.base\"\n tags = \"${compact([\n \"${IMAGE_NAME}:base-${IMAGE_TAG_SUFFIX}\",\n equal(\"${IS_STABLE}\", \"true\") ? \"${IMAGE_NAME}:stable\" : \"\"\n ])}\"\n args = {\n build_image = \"python:3.12-slim\"\n base_image = \"python:3.12-slim\"\n haystack_version = \"${HAYSTACK_VERSION}\"\n }\n platforms = [\"linux/amd64\", \"linux/arm64\"]\n}\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/.gitattributes", "content": "* text=auto\n*.md text diff=markdown\n*.mdx text diff=markdown\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/.gitignore", "content": ".DS_Store\n.vscode/*\n!.vscode/extensions.json\n.idea\n*.iml\n*.code-workspace\n.changelog\n.history\n\nnode_modules\n.yarn\npackage-lock.json\n\n.eslintcache\n\nyarn-error.log\nwebsite/build\ncoverage\n.docusaurus\n.cache-loader\ntypes\ntest-website\ntest-website-in-workspace\n\npackages/create-docusaurus/lib/\npackages/lqip-loader/lib/\npackages/docusaurus/lib/\npackages/docusaurus-*/lib/*\npackages/eslint-plugin/lib/\npackages/stylelint-copyright/lib/\n\nwebsite/netlifyDeployPreview/*\nwebsite/changelog\n!website/netlifyDeployPreview/index.html\n!website/netlifyDeployPreview/_redirects\n\nwebsite/_dogfooding/_swizzle_theme_tests\n\nCrowdinTranslations_*.zip\n\nwebsite/.cpu-prof\nwebsite/i18n/**/*\n.netlify\n\nbuild/\n\n# Auto-generated requirements files\nrequirements.txt\nrequirements-*.txt\n\n# Auto-generated llms.txt\nllms.txt\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/CONTRIBUTING.md", "content": "# Contributing to Haystack Documentation\n\nThank you for your interest in contributing to the Haystack documentation!

Copy the appropriate template from `docs/_templates/`\n2. Move the copy to its final location under `docs/`\n3. Update the frontmatter (title, id, description, slug)\n4. Fill in all sections marked with placeholders\n5. Update the sidebar to include your new page\n\n**Do not:**\n- Commit new documentation under `_templates/`\n- Leave template placeholder text in production docs\n\n## Testing\n\n### Build Testing\n\nWe strongly recommend building the site locally before opening a PR:\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\n```\n\nThis command:\n- Builds production-ready static files\n- Validates all links and anchors\n- Reports broken links, duplicate routes, and errors\n\n**Fix all warnings before submitting your PR.** For minor changes like typo fixes, you may skip the local build and rely on CI feedback, but for substantial changes (new pages, restructuring, multiple edits), a local build helps catch issues early and saves CI time.\n\n## API Reference Contributions\n\nThe API reference documentation is automatically generated from Python docstrings in the main Haystack codebase.\n\n**To update API documentation:**\n\n1. Edit docstrings in the [Haystack repository](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack)\n2. Open a PR in the main Haystack repo\n3. After merge, the API reference will be automatically synced through CI\n\n**Do not:**\n- Manually edit files in `reference/` or `reference_versioned_docs/`\n- Commit changes to auto-generated API documentation\n- Any manual changes will be overwritten by the next sync\n\n## Understanding Documentation Versions and Where to Make Changes\n\nThe documentation structure supports multiple Haystack versions. Haystack releases new versions monthly, and documentation versioning is handled automatically through GitHub workflows during the release process.\n\n**Documentation directories:**\n- `docs/` - Unstable/next version (corresponds to Haystack's `main` branch)\n- `versioned_docs/version-X.Y/` - Stable release documentation for version X.Y\n\n**Note:** The highest version number in `versioned_docs/` represents the current stable release. For example, if you see `version-2.20`, `version-2.19`, and `version-2.18`, then version 2.20 is the current stable release, and older versions are for reference.\n\n**When to edit which version:**\n\n**Scenario 1: New feature or change in Haystack main branch**\n\nIf you're documenting a new feature or change that exists in Haystack's `main` branch (next release):\n\n✅ Edit files in `docs/` (the unstable version)\n\nExample: A new component was added to Haystack main → document it in `docs/pipeline-components/`\n\n**Scenario 2: Bug fix or correction for current release**\n\nIf you're fixing an error in the current release documentation (for example, incorrect information, broken link, typo):\n\n✅ Edit files in BOTH locations:\n1. `docs/` (so the fix persists in future versions)\n2. `versioned_docs/version-/` (the highest-numbered version directory)\n\nExample: A code example has a bug in the Pipelines guide → fix it in both `docs/concepts/pipelines.mdx` AND `versioned_docs/version-2.20/concepts/pipelines.mdx` (if 2.20 is the current stable release)\n\n**Pro tip:** When fixing bugs in current release docs, make the change in `docs/` first, then copy it to the highest-numbered versioned directory to ensure consistency.\n\n## Preview Deployments\n\nPull requests that modify documentation will generate preview deployments once authorized by a maintainer. Once authorized, check your PR for a preview link, which allows you and reviewers to see the changes in a live environment before merging.\n\nPreview deployments include:\n- Full site build with your changes\n- All versions and navigation\n- Identical to production except for the URL\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Blank Page on npm start\n\nIf you see a blank page when running `npm start`:\n\n```bash\n# Clear Docusaurus cache\nnpm run clear\nnpm start\n```\n\nIf the issue persists, build once to generate route metadata:\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\nnpm start\n```\n\nThis is necessary because Docusaurus needs to generate internal routing metadata for versioned docs on first run.\n\n### Cache Issues\n\nClear cached data if something looks off:\n\n```bash\nnpm run clear\n```\n\nThis removes:\n- `.docusaurus/` directory\n- Build cache\n- Generated metadata\n\n### Build Errors\n\n**Broken links:**\n- Check that all internal links use correct relative paths\n- Verify file names and paths match exactly (case-sensitive)\n- Ensure linked pages have proper frontmatter with `id` field\n\n**Duplicate routes:**\n- Check for duplicate `slug` values in frontmatter\n- Ensure no two pages map to the same URL path\n\n**Missing images:**\n- Verify image paths are correct\n- Check that images exist in `static/img/` or local `assets/` directories\n- Use relative paths from the markdown file location\n\n## Moving or Removing Pages\n\n**Moving a page:**\n\n1. Keep the existing URL stable by retaining the `slug` in frontmatter\n2. Update `sidebars.js` or `reference-sidebars.js` to reflect new file location\n3. Update any internal links that reference the moved page\n\n**Removing a page:**\n\n1. Remove the file from `docs/`\n2. Remove references from `sidebars.js`\n3. Check for and update any links pointing to the removed page\n4. Coordinate with maintainers for redirect setup if the URL was public\n\n**If a URL must change:**\n- Coordinate with maintainers to set up redirect rules\n- Avoid breaking inbound links from external sites\n\n## Images and Assets\n\nShared images are stored in `static/img/`.\n\n**Best practices:**\n- Use descriptive filenames (for example, `pipeline-architecture.png`)\n- Optimize images before committing (use tools like ImageOptim, TinyPNG)\n- Prefer modern formats (WebP, optimized PNG/JPEG)\n- Always include alt text for accessibility\n\n**Adding images:**\n\nUse the `ClickableImage` component for all images. Import it at the top of your MDX file:\n\n```mdx\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n\n```\n\n**For zoomable images** (diagrams, screenshots that users may want to see in detail), use `size=\"large\"`:\n\n```mdx\n\n```\n\n**Images with transparent backgrounds:**\n\nFor transparent PNGs that need better visibility in dark mode, add a background class:\n\n```mdx\n\n

This allows the API reference and guides to version independently and maintain separate navigation.\n\n- **Custom remark plugin** (`src/remark/versionedReferenceLinks.js`) — Automatically rewrites cross-links between docs and reference to include the correct version prefix. For example, if you're viewing docs version 2.19 and click a link to `/reference/some-api`, the plugin rewrites it to `/reference/2.19/some-api` so readers stay in the same version context.\n\n**When one might need these plugins:**\n- **Broken cross-links after a release:** If links between docs and API reference pages break (404s), the remark plugin may need adjustment—especially if version naming conventions change.\n- **Version dropdown issues:** If the version selector shows wrong versions or doesn't switch correctly between docs/reference, check the dual `plugin-content-docs` configs in `docusaurus.config.js`.\n- **Sidebar mismatches:** If API reference navigation breaks separately from main docs, remember they use different sidebar files (`sidebars.js` vs `reference-sidebars.js`).\n\n## Available Scripts\n\n**Important:** Run these commands from the `haystack/docs-website` directory:\n\n| Command | Description |\n|---------|-------------|\n| `npm install` | Install all dependencies |\n| `npm start` | Start development server with live reload (http://localhost:3000) |\n| `npm run build` | Build production-ready static files to `build/` |\n| `npm run serve` | Preview production build locally |\n| `npm run clear` | Clear Docusaurus cache (use if encountering build issues) |\n| `npm run docusaurus` | Run Docusaurus CLI commands directly |\n| `npm run swizzle` | Eject and customize Docusaurus theme components |\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions to improve the documentation! See [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for:\n\n- Writing and style guidelines\n- How to author new documentation pages\n- Setting up your development environment\n- Testing requirements\n- Pull request process\n\nFor code contributions to Haystack itself, see the [main repository's contribution guide](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## CI/CD and Automation\n\nThis site uses automated workflows for API reference sync and preview deployments. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.\n\n### Versioning\n\nDocumentation versions are released alongside Haystack releases and are fully automated through GitHub workflows. Contributors do not need to manually create or manage versions.\n\n**Automated Workflows:**\n- `promote_unstable_docs.yml` - Automatically triggered during Haystack releases\n- `minor_version_release.yml` - Creates new version directories and updates version configuration\n\nThese workflows automatically create versioned documentation snapshots and pull requests during the release process.\n\n## Deployment\n\nThe documentation site is automatically deployed to **https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai** when changes are merged to the `main` branch.\n\n## llms.txt for AI tools\n\nThis docs site exposes a concatenated view of the documentation for AI tools with an `llms.txt` file, generated by the [`docusaurus-plugin-generate-llms-txt`](https://github.com/din0s/docusaurus-plugin-llms-txt) plugin.\n\n- **What it is**: A single, generated text file that concatenates the docs content to make it easier for LLMs and other tools to consume.\n- **Where to find it (deployed)**: At the site root `https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/llms.txt`.\n- **How it’s generated**:\n - Automatically when you run:\n - `npm run start`\n - `npm run build`\n - Manually with:\n\n ```bash\n npm run generate-llms-txt\n ```\n\n- **Configuration**:\n - The plugin is wired in `docusaurus.config.js` under the `plugins` array as `'docusaurus-plugin-generate-llms-txt'` with `outputFile: 'llms.txt'`.\n - A local plugin (`plugins/txtLoaderPlugin.js`) configures Webpack to treat `.txt` files (including `llms.txt`) as text assets so they don’t cause build-time parse errors.*\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/api/search.ts", "content": "import { VercelRequest, VercelResponse } from \"@vercel/node\";\n\nexport default async function handler(req: VercelRequest, res: VercelResponse) {\n if (req.method !== \"POST\") {\n res.setHeader(\"Allow\", \"POST\");\n return res.status(405).end(\"Method Not Allowed\");\n }\n\n const { query, filter } = req.body;\n\n if (!query) {\n return res.status(400).json({ error: \"Query is required\" });\n }\n\n const { SEARCH_API_WORKSPACE, SEARCH_API_PIPELINE, SEARCH_API_TOKEN } =\n process.env;\n\n if (!SEARCH_API_WORKSPACE || !SEARCH_API_PIPELINE || !SEARCH_API_TOKEN) {\n console.error(\n \"Search API environment variables are not configured on the server.\"\n );\n return res.status(500).json({ error: \"Search service is not configured.\" });\n }\n\n try {\n // Build the request body with optional filters\n const requestBody: any = {\n queries: [query],\n };\n\n // Add filters if provided (for future backend filtering support)\n if (filter && filter !== \"all\") {\n requestBody.debug = true;\n requestBody.filters = {\n operator: \"AND\",\n conditions: [\n {\n field: \"meta.type\",\n operator: \"==\",\n value: filter,\n },\n ],\n };\n }\n\n const apiResponse = await fetch(\n `https://api.cloud.deepset.ai/api/v1/workspaces/${SEARCH_API_WORKSPACE}/pipelines/${SEARCH_API_PIPELINE}/search`,\n {\n method: \"POST\",\n headers: {\n \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\",\n \"X-Client-Source\": \"haystack-docs\",\n Authorization: `Bearer ${SEARCH_API_TOKEN}`,\n },\n body: JSON.stringify(requestBody),\n }\n );\n\n if (!apiResponse.ok) {\n const errorData = await apiResponse.text();\n console.error(\"Haystack API error:\", errorData);\n return res\n .status(apiResponse.status)\n .json({ error: `API error: ${apiResponse.statusText}` });\n }\n\n const data = await apiResponse.json();\n return res.status(200).json(data);\n } catch (error) {\n console.error(\"Internal server error:\", error);\n return res.status(500).json({ error: \"Failed to fetch search results.\" });\n }\n}\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/api/tsconfig.json", "content": "{\n \"compilerOptions\": {\n \"target\": \"ES2021\",\n \"module\": \"commonjs\",\n \"moduleResolution\": \"node\",\n \"lib\": [\"ES2021\", \"DOM\"],\n \"esModuleInterop\": true,\n \"strict\": true,\n \"skipLibCheck\": true,\n \"resolveJsonModule\": true,\n \"types\": [\"node\"]\n },\n \"include\": [\"./**/*.ts\"]\n}\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/_templates/component-template.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Component Name\"\nid: \"component-name\"\ndescription: \"A short description of the component\"\nslug: \"/component-name\"\n---\n\n# Component Name\n\n

It provides a structured way to store messages during execution, share data between tools, and store intermediate results throughout an agent's workflow.\n\n## Overview\n\nWhen building agents that use multiple tools, you often need tools to share information with each other. State solves this problem by providing centralized storage that all tools can read from and write to. For example, one tool might retrieve documents while another tool uses those documents to generate an answer.\n\nState uses a schema-based approach where you define:\n\n- What data can be stored,\n- The type of each piece of data,\n- How values are merged when updated.\n\n### Supported Types\n\nState supports standard Python types:\n\n- Basic types: `str`, `int`, `float`, `bool`, `dict`,\n- List types: `list`, `list[str]`, `list[int]`, `list[Document]`,\n- Union types: `Union[str, int]`, `Optional[str]`,\n- Custom classes and data classes.\n\n### Automatic Message Handling\n\nState automatically includes a `messages` field to store messages during execution. You don't need to define this in your schema.\n\n```python\n## State automatically adds messages field\nstate = State(schema={\"user_id\": {\"type\": str}})\n\n## The messages field is available\nprint(\"messages\" in state.schema) # True\nprint(state.schema[\"messages\"][\"type\"]) # list[ChatMessage]\n\n## Access messages\nmessages = state.get(\"messages\", [])\n```\n\nThe `messages` field uses `list[ChatMessage]` type and `merge_lists` handler by default, which means new messages are appended during execution.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Creating State\n\nCreate State by defining a schema that specifies what data can be stored and their types:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents.state import State\n\n## Define the schema\nschema = {\n \"user_name\": {\"type\": str},\n \"documents\": {\"type\": list},\n \"count\": {\"type\": int},\n}\n\n## Create State with initial data\nstate = State(schema=schema, data={\"user_name\": \"Alice\", \"documents\": [], \"count\": 0})\n```\n\n### Reading from State\n\nUse the `get()` method to retrieve values:\n\n```python\n## Get a value\nuser_name = state.get(\"user_name\")\n\n## Get a value with a default if key doesn't exist\ndocuments = state.get(\"documents\", [])\n\n## Check if a key exists\nif state.has(\"user_name\"):\n print(f\"User: {state.get('user_name')}\")\n```\n\n### Writing to State\n\nUse the `set()` method to store or merge values:\n\n```python\n## Set a value\nstate.set(\"user_name\", \"Bob\")\n\n## Set list values (these are merged by default)\nstate.set(\"documents\", [{\"title\": \"Doc 1\", \"content\": \"Content 1\"}])\n```\n\n## Schema Definition\n\nThe schema defines what data can be stored and how values are updated. Each schema entry consists of:\n\n- `type` (required): The Python type that defines what kind of data can be stored (for example, `str`, `int`, `list`)\n- `handler` (optional): A function that determines how new values are merged with existing values when you call `set()`\n\n```python\n{\n \"parameter_name\": {\n \"type\": SomeType, # Required: Expected Python type for this field\n \"handler\": Optional[\n Callable[[Any, Any], Any]\n ], # Optional: Function to merge values\n },\n}\n```\n\nIf you don't specify a handler, State automatically assigns a default handler based on the type.\n\n### Default Handlers\n\nHandlers control how values are merged when you call `set()` on an existing key. State provides two default handlers:\n\n- `merge_lists`: Combines the lists together (default for list types)\n- `replace_values`: Overwrites the existing value (default for non-list types)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents.state.state_utils import merge_lists, replace_values\n\nschema = {\n \"documents\": {\"type\": list}, # Uses merge_lists by default\n \"user_name\": {\"type\": str}, # Uses replace_values by default\n \"count\": {\"type\": int}, # Uses replace_values by default\n}\n\nstate = State(schema=schema)\n\n## Lists are merged by default\nstate.set(\"documents\", [1, 2])\nstate.set(\"documents\", [3, 4])\nprint(state.get(\"documents\")) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]\n\n## Other values are replaced\nstate.set(\"user_name\", \"Alice\")\nstate.set(\"user_name\", \"Bob\")\nprint(state.get(\"user_name\")) # Output: \"Bob\"\n```\n\n### Custom Handlers\n\nYou can define custom handlers for specific merge behavior:\n\n```python\ndef custom_merge(current_value, new_value):\n \"\"\"Custom handler that merges and sorts lists.\"\"\"\n current_list = current_value or []\n new_list = new_value if isinstance(new_value, list) else [new_value]\n return sorted(current_list + new_list)\n\n\nschema = {\"numbers\": {\"type\": list, \"handler\": custom_merge}}\n\nstate = State(schema=schema)\nstate.set(\"numbers\", [3, 1])\nstate.set(\"numbers\", [2, 4])\nprint(state.get(\"numbers\")) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]\n```\n\nYou can also override handlers for individual operations:\n\n```python\ndef concatenate_strings(current, new):\n return f\"{current}-{new}\" if current else new\n\n\nschema = {\"user_name\": {\"type\": str}}\nstate = State(schema=schema)\n\nstate.set(\"user_name\", \"Alice\")\nstate.set(\"user_name\", \"Bob\", handler_override=concatenate_strings)\nprint(state.get(\"user_name\")) # Output: \"Alice-Bob\"\n```\n\n## Using State with Agents\n\nTo use State with an Agent, define a state schema when creating the Agent. The Agent automatically manages State throughout its execution.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n\n## Define a simple calculation tool\ndef calculate(expression: str) -> dict:\n \"\"\"Evaluate a mathematical expression.\"\"\"\n result = eval(expression, {\"__builtins__\": {}})\n return {\"result\": result}\n\n\n## Create a tool that writes to state\ncalculator_tool = Tool(\n name=\"calculator\",\n description=\"Evaluate basic math expressions\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"expression\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"expression\"],\n },\n function=calculate,\n outputs_to_state={\"calc_result\": {\"source\": \"result\"}},\n)\n\n## Create agent with state schema\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[calculator_tool],\n state_schema={\"calc_result\": {\"type\": int}},\n)\n\n## Run the agent\nresult = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Calculate 15 + 27\")])\n\n## Access the state from results\ncalc_result = result[\"calc_result\"]\nprint(calc_result) # Output: 42\n```\n\n## Tools and State\n\nTools interact with State through two mechanisms: `inputs_from_state` and `outputs_to_state`.\n\n### Reading from State: `inputs_from_state`\n\nTools can automatically read values from State and use them as parameters. The `inputs_from_state` parameter maps state keys to tool parameter names.\n\n```python\ndef search_documents(query: str, user_context: str) -> dict:\n \"\"\"Search documents using query and user context.\"\"\"\n return {\"results\": [f\"Found results for '{query}' (user: {user_context})\"]}\n\n\n## Create tool that reads from state\nsearch_tool = Tool(\n name=\"search\",\n description=\"Search documents\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"query\": {\"type\": \"string\"}, \"user_context\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"query\"],\n },\n function=search_documents,\n inputs_from_state={\n \"user_name\": \"user_context\",\n }, # Maps state's \"user_name\" to the tool’s input parameter “user_context”\n)\n\n## Define agent with state schema including user_name\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[search_tool],\n state_schema={\"user_name\": {\"type\": str}, \"search_results\": {\"type\": list}},\n)\n\n## Initialize agent with user context\nresult = agent.run(\n messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Search for Python tutorials\")],\n user_name=\"Alice\", # All additional kwargs passed to Agent at runtime are put into State\n)\n```\n\nWhen the tool is invoked, the Agent automatically retrieves the value from State and passes it to the tool function.\n\n### Writing to State: `outputs_to_state`\n\nTools can write their results back to State. The `outputs_to_state` parameter defines mappings from tool outputs to state keys.\n\nThe structure of the output is: `{”state_key”: {”source”: “tool_result_key”}}`.\n\n```python\ndef retrieve_documents(query: str) -> dict:\n \"\"\"Retrieve documents based on query.\"\"\"\n return {\n \"documents\": [\n {\"title\": \"Doc 1\", \"content\": \"Content about Python\"},\n {\"title\": \"Doc 2\", \"content\": \"More about Python\"},\n ],\n \"count\": 2,\n \"query\": query,\n }\n\n\n## Create tool that writes to state\nretrieval_tool = Tool(\n name=\"retrieve\",\n description=\"Retrieve relevant documents\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"query\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"query\"],\n },\n function=retrieve_documents,\n outputs_to_state={\n \"documents\": {\n \"source\": \"documents\",\n }, # Maps tool's \"documents\" output to state's \"documents\"\n \"result_count\": {\n \"source\": \"count\",\n }, # Maps tool's \"count\" output to state's \"result_count\"\n \"last_query\": {\n \"source\": \"query\",\n }, # Maps tool's \"query\" output to state's \"last_query\"\n },\n)\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[retrieval_tool],\n state_schema={\n \"documents\": {\"type\": list},\n \"result_count\": {\"type\": int},\n \"last_query\": {\"type\": str},\n },\n)\n\nresult = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Find information about Python\")])\n\n## Access state values from result\ndocuments = result[\"documents\"]\nresult_count = result[\"result_count\"]\nlast_query = result[\"last_query\"]\nprint(documents) # List of retrieved documents\nprint(result_count) # 2\nprint(last_query) # \"Find information about Python\"\n```\n\nEach mapping can specify:\n\n- `source`: Which field from the tool's output to use\n- `handler`: Optional custom function for merging values\n\nIf you omit the `source`, the entire tool result is stored:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n\ndef get_user_info() -> dict:\n \"\"\"Get user information.\"\"\"\n return {\"name\": \"Alice\", \"email\": \"alice@example.com\", \"role\": \"admin\"}\n\n\n## Tool that stores entire result\ninfo_tool = Tool(\n name=\"get_info\",\n description=\"Get user information\",\n parameters={\"type\": \"object\", \"properties\": {}},\n function=get_user_info,\n outputs_to_state={\n \"user_info\": {}, # Stores entire result dict in state's \"user_info\"\n },\n)\n\n## Create agent with matching state schema\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[info_tool],\n state_schema={\n \"user_info\": {\"type\": dict}, # Schema must match the tool's output type\n },\n)\n\n## Run the agent\nresult = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Get the user information\")])\n\n## Access the complete result from state\nuser_info = result[\"user_info\"]\nprint(\n user_info,\n) # Output: {\"name\": \"Alice\", \"email\": \"alice@example.com\", \"role\": \"admin\"}\nprint(user_info[\"name\"]) # Output: \"Alice\"\nprint(user_info[\"email\"]) # Output: \"alice@example.com\"\n```\n\n### Combining Inputs and Outputs\n\nTools can both read from and write to State, enabling tool chaining:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n\ndef process_documents(documents: list, max_results: int) -> dict:\n \"\"\"Process documents and return filtered results.\"\"\"\n processed = documents[:max_results]\n return {\"processed_docs\": processed, \"processed_count\": len(processed)}\n\n\nprocessing_tool = Tool(\n name=\"process\",\n description=\"Process retrieved documents\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"max_results\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"max_results\"],\n },\n function=process_documents,\n inputs_from_state={\"documents\": \"documents\"}, # Reads documents from state\n outputs_to_state={\n \"final_docs\": {\"source\": \"processed_docs\"},\n \"final_count\": {\"source\": \"processed_count\"},\n },\n)\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[retrieval_tool, processing_tool], # Chain tools using state\n state_schema={\n \"documents\": {\"type\": list},\n \"final_docs\": {\"type\": list},\n \"final_count\": {\"type\": int},\n },\n)\n\n## Run the agent -

They interact with their environment using tools, memory, and reasoning.\n\n### What Makes an AI Agent\n\nAn AI agent is more than a chatbot. It actively plans, chooses the right tools and executes tasks to achieve a goal. Unlike traditional software, it adapts to new information and refines its process as needed.\n\n1. **LLM as the Brain**: The agent's core is an LLM, which understands context, processes natural language and serves as the central intelligence system.\n2. **Tools for Interaction**: Agents connect to external tools, APIs, and databases to gather information and take action.\n3. **Memory for Context**: Short-term memory helps track conversations, while long-term memory stores knowledge for future interactions.\n4. **Reasoning and Planning**: Agents break down complex problems, come up with step-by-step action plans, and adapt based on new data and feedback.\n\n### How AI Agents Work\n\nAn AI agent starts with a prompt that defines its role and objectives. It decides when to use tools, gathers data, and refines its approach through loops of reasoning and action. It evaluates progress and adjusts its strategy to improve results.\n\nFor example, a customer service agent answers queries using a database. If it lacks an answer, it fetches real-time data, summarizes it, and provides a response. A coding assistant understands project requirements, suggests solutions, and even writes code.\n\n## Key Components\n\n### Agents\n\nHaystack has a universal [Agent](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx) component that interacts with chat-based LLMs and tools to solve complex queries. It requires a Chat Generator that supports tools to work and can be customizable according to your needs. Check out the [Agent](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx) documentation, or the [example](#tool-calling-agent) below to see how it works.\n\n### Additional Components\n\nYou can build an AI agent in Haystack yourself, using the three main elements in a pipeline:\n\n- [Chat Generators](../pipeline-components/generators.mdx) to generate tool calls (with tool name and arguments) or assistant responses with an LLM,\n- [`Tool`](../tools/tool.mdx) class that allows the LLM to perform actions such as running a pipeline or calling an external API, connecting to the external world,\n- [`ToolInvoker`](../pipeline-components/tools/toolinvoker.mdx) component to execute tool calls generated by an LLM. It parses the LLM's tool-calling responses and invokes the appropriate tool with the correct arguments from the pipeline.\n\nThere are three ways of creating a tool in Haystack:\n\n- [`Tool`](../tools/tool.mdx) class – Creates a tool representation for a consistent tool-calling experience across all Generators. It allows for most customization, as you can define its own name and description.\n- [`ComponentTool`](../tools/componenttool.mdx) class – Wraps a Haystack component as a callable tool.\n- [`@tool`](../tools/tool.mdx#tool-decorator) decorator – Creates tools from Python functions and automatically uses their function name and docstring.\n- [Toolset](../tools/toolset.mdx) – A container for grouping multiple tools that can be passed directly to Agents or Generators.\n\n## Example Agents\n\n### Tool-Calling Agent\n\nYou can create a similar tool-calling agent with the `Agent` component:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document, ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools.component_tool import ComponentTool\n\n\n## Create the web search component\nweb_search = SerperDevWebSearch(top_k=3)\n\n## Create the ComponentTool with simpler parameters\nweb_tool = ComponentTool(\n component=web_search,\n name=\"web_search\",\n description=\"Search the web for current information like weather, news, or facts.\",\n)\n\n## Create the agent with the web tool\ntool_calling_agent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"),\n system_prompt=\"\"\"You're a helpful agent. When asked about current information like weather, news, or facts,\n use the web_search tool to find the information and then summarize the findings.\n When you get web search results, extract the relevant information and present it in a clear,\n concise manner.\"\"\",\n tools=[web_tool],\n)\n\n## Run the agent with the user message\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"How is the weather in Berlin?\")\nresult = tool_calling_agent.run(messages=[user_message])\n\n## Print the result - using .text instead of .content\nprint(result[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\nResulting in:\n\n```python\n>>> The current weather in Berlin is approximately 60°F. The forecast for today includes clouds in the morning with some sunshine later. The high temperature is expected to be around 65°F, and the low tonight will drop to 40°F.\n\n- **Morning**: 49°F\n- **Afternoon**: 57°F\n- **Evening**: 47°F\n- **Overnight**: 39°F\n\nFor more details, you can check the full forecasts on [AccuWeather](https://www.accuweather.com/en/de/berlin/10178/current-weather/178087) or [Weather.com](https://weather.com/weather/today/l/5ca23443513a0fdc1d37ae2ffaf5586162c6fe592a66acc9320a0d0536be1bb9).\n```\n\n### Pipeline With Tools\n\nHere’s an example of how you would build a tool-calling agent with the help of `ToolInvoker`.\n\nThis is what’s happening in this code example:\n\n1. `OpenAIChatGenerator` uses an LLM to analyze the user's message and determines whether to provide an assistant response or initiate a tool call.\n2. `ConditionalRouter` directs the output from the `OpenAIChatGenerator` to `there_are_tool_calls` branch if it’s a tool call or to `final_replies` to return to the user directly.\n3. `ToolInvoker` executes the tool call generated by the LLM. `ComponentTool` wraps the `SerperDevWebSearch` component that fetches real-time search results, making it accessible for `ToolInvoker` to execute it as a tool.\n4. After the tool provides its output, the `ToolInvoker` sends this information back to the `OpenAIChatGenerator`, along with the original user question stored by the `MessageCollector`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.core.component.types import Variadic\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\n\nfrom typing import Any\n\n\n## helper component to temporarily store last user query before the tool call\n@component()\nclass MessageCollector:\n def __init__(self):\n self._messages = []\n\n @component.output_types(messages=list[ChatMessage])\n def run(self, messages: Variadic[list[ChatMessage]]) -> dict[str, Any]:\n self._messages.extend([msg for inner in messages for msg in inner])\n return {\"messages\": self._messages}\n\n def clear(self):\n self._messages = []\n\n\n## Create a tool from a component\nweb_tool = ComponentTool(component=SerperDevWebSearch(top_k=3))\n\n## Define routing conditions\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{replies[0].tool_calls | length > 0}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{replies}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"there_are_tool_calls\",\n \"output_type\": list[ChatMessage],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{replies[0].tool_calls | length == 0}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{replies}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"final_replies\",\n \"output_type\": list[ChatMessage],\n },\n]\n\n## Create the pipeline\ntool_agent = Pipeline()\ntool_agent.add_component(\"message_collector\", MessageCollector())\ntool_agent.add_component(\n \"generator\",\n OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[web_tool]),\n)\ntool_agent.add_component(\"router\", ConditionalRouter(routes, unsafe=True))\ntool_agent.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[web_tool]))\n\ntool_agent.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"router\")\ntool_agent.connect(\"router.there_are_tool_calls\", \"tool_invoker\")\ntool_agent.connect(\"router.there_are_tool_calls\", \"message_collector\")\ntool_agent.connect(\"tool_invoker.tool_messages\", \"message_collector\")\ntool_agent.connect(\"message_collector\", \"generator.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You're a helpful agent choosing the right tool when necessary\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"How is the weather in Berlin?\"),\n]\nresult = tool_agent.run({\"messages\": messages})\n\nprint(result[\"router\"][\"final_replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\nResulting in:\n\n```python\n>>> The current weather in Berlin is around 46°F (8°C) with cloudy conditions. The high for today is forecasted to reach 48°F (9°C) and the low is expected to be around 37°F (3°C). The humidity is quite high at 92%, and there is a light wind blowing at 4 mph.\n\nFor more detailed weather updates, you can check the following links:\n- [AccuWeather](https://www.accuweather.com/en/de/berlin/10178/weather-forecast/178087)\n- [Weather.com](https://weather.com/weather/today/l/5ca23443513a0fdc1d37ae2ffaf5586162c6fe592a66acc9320a0d0536be1bb9)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/components/custom-components.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Creating Custom Components\"\nid: custom-components\nslug: \"/custom-components\"\ndescription: \"Create your own components and use them standalone or in pipelines.\"\n---\n\n# Creating Custom Components\n\nCreate your own components and use them standalone or in pipelines.\n\nWith Haystack, you can easily create any custom components for various tasks, from filtering results to integrating with external software. You can then insert, reuse, and share these components within Haystack or even with an external audience by packaging them and submitting them to [Haystack Integrations](../integrations.mdx)!\n\n## Requirements\n\nHere are the requirements for all custom components:\n\n- `@component`: This decorator marks a class as a component, allowing it to be used in a pipeline.\n- `run()`: This is a required method in every component. It accepts input arguments and returns a `dict`. The inputs can either come from the pipeline when it’s executed, or from the output of another component when connected using `connect()`. The `run()` method should be compatible with the input/output definitions declared for the component. See an [Extended Example](#extended-example) below to check how it works.\n\n\n:::note Avoid in-place input mutation\n\nWhen building custom components, do not change the component's inputs directly. Instead, work on a copy or a new version of the input, modify that, and return it. The reason for this is that the original input values might be reused by other components or by later pipeline steps. Mutating the input directly can lead to unintended side effects and bugs in the pipeline, as other components might rely on the original input values.\n\nWhen only one or a few fields of the input need to be changed (for example, `meta` on a `Document`), use `dataclasses.replace()` to create a new instance with the updated fields. This is simpler and more efficient than deep-copying the whole object:\n\n```python\nfrom dataclasses import replace\n\n\ndef run(self, documents):\n updated = [replace(doc, meta={**doc.meta, \"processed\": True}) for doc in documents]\n return {\"documents\": updated}\n```\n\nWhen you need to modify nested mutable structures, for example `list` or `dict` attributes, or update many fields of the dataclass instance, use a full deep copy instead:\n\n```python\nimport copy\n\n\ndef run(self, documents):\n documents_copy = copy.deepcopy(documents)\n # mutate documents_copy safely here\n return {\"documents\": documents_copy}\n```\n\n:::\n\n\n### Inputs and Outputs\n\nNext, define the inputs and outputs for your component.\n\n#### Inputs\n\nYou can choose between three input options:\n\n- `set_input_type`: This method defines or updates a single input socket for a component instance. It’s ideal for adding or modifying a specific input at runtime without affecting others. Use this when you need to dynamically set or modify a single input based on specific conditions.\n- `set_input_types`: This method allows you to define multiple input sockets at once, replacing any existing inputs. It’s useful when you know all the inputs the component will need and want to configure them in bulk. Use this when you want to define multiple inputs during initialization.\n- Declaring arguments directly in the `run()` method. Use this method when the component’s inputs are static and known at the time of class definition.\n\n#### Outputs\n\nYou can choose between two output options:\n\n- `@component.output_types`: This decorator defines the output types and names at the time of class definition. The output names and types must match the `dict` returned by the `run()` method. Use this when the output types are static and known in advance. This decorator is cleaner and more readable for static components.\n- `set_output_types`: This method defines or updates multiple output sockets for a component instance at runtime. It’s useful when you need flexibility in configuring outputs dynamically. Use this when the output types need to be set at runtime for greater flexibility.\n\n## Short Example\n\nHere is an example of a simple minimal component setup:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component\n\n\n@component\nclass WelcomeTextGenerator:\n \"\"\"\n A component generating personal welcome message and making it upper case\n \"\"\"\n\n @component.output_types(welcome_text=str, note=str)\n def run(self, name: str):\n return {\n \"welcome_text\": f\"Hello {name}, welcome to Haystack!\".upper(),\n \"note\": \"welcome message is ready\",\n }\n```\n\nHere, the custom component `WelcomeTextGenerator` accepts one input: `name` string and returns two outputs: `welcome_text` and `note`.\n\n## Extended Example\n\nCheck out an example below on how to create two custom components and connect them in a Haystack pipeline.\n\n```python\n# import necessary dependencies\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\n\n\n# Create two custom components. Note the mandatory @component decorator and @component.output_types, as well as the mandatory run method.\n@component\nclass WelcomeTextGenerator:\n \"\"\"\n A component generating personal welcome message and making it upper case\n \"\"\"\n\n @component.output_types(welcome_text=str, note=str)\n def run(self, name: str):\n return {\n \"welcome_text\": (\n \"Hello {name}, welcome to Haystack!\".format(name=name)\n ).upper(),\n \"note\": \"welcome message is ready\",\n }\n\n\n@component\nclass WhitespaceSplitter:\n \"\"\"\n A component for splitting the text by whitespace\n \"\"\"\n\n @component.output_types(split_text=list[str])\n def run(self, text: str):\n return {\"split_text\": text.split()}\n\n\n# create a pipeline and add the custom components to it\ntext_pipeline = Pipeline()\ntext_pipeline.add_component(\n name=\"welcome_text_generator\",\n instance=WelcomeTextGenerator(),\n)\ntext_pipeline.add_component(name=\"splitter\", instance=WhitespaceSplitter())\n\n# connect the components\ntext_pipeline.connect(\n sender=\"welcome_text_generator.welcome_text\",\n receiver=\"splitter.text\",\n)\n\n# define the result and run the pipeline\nresult = text_pipeline.run({\"welcome_text_generator\": {\"name\": \"Bilge\"}})\n\nprint(result[\"splitter\"][\"split_text\"])\n```\n\n## Extending the Existing Components\n\nTo extend already existing components in Haystack, subclass an existing component and use the `@component` decorator to mark it. Override or extend the `run()` method to process inputs and outputs. Call `super()` with the derived class name from the init of the derived class to avoid initialization issues:\n\n```python\nclass DerivedComponent(BaseComponent):\n def __init__(self):\n super(DerivedComponent, self).__init__()\n\n\n## ...\n\ndc = DerivedComponent() # ok\n```\n\nAn example of an extended component is Haystack's [FaithfulnessEvaluator](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/e5a80722c22c59eb99416bf0cd712f6de7cd581a/haystack/components/evaluators/faithfulness.py) derived from LLMEvaluator.\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks:\n\n- [Build quizzes and adventures with Character Codex and llamafile](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/charactercodex_llamafile/)\n- [Run tasks concurrently within a custom component](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/concurrent_tasks/)\n- [Chat With Your SQL Database](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/chat_with_sql_3_ways/)\n- [Hacker News Summaries with Custom Components](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/hackernews-custom-component-rag/)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/components/supercomponents.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"SuperComponents\"\nid: supercomponents\nslug: \"/supercomponents\"\ndescription: \"`SuperComponent` lets you wrap a complete pipeline and use it like a single component.

This is helpful when you want to simplify the interface of a complex pipeline, reuse it in different contexts, or expose only the necessary inputs and outputs.\n\n## `@super_component` decorator (recommended)\n\nHaystack now provides a simple `@super_component` decorator for wrapping a pipeline as a component. All you need is to create a class with the decorator, and to include an `pipeline` attribute.\n\nWith this decorator, the `to_dict` and `from_dict` serialization is optional, as is the input and output mapping.\n\n### Example\n\nThe custom HybridRetriever example SuperComponent below turns your query into embeddings, then runs both a BM25 search and an embedding-based search at the same time. It finally merges those two result sets and returns the combined documents.\n\n```python\n## pip install haystack-ai datasets \"sentence-transformers>=3.0.0\"\n\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline, super_component\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import DocumentJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import (\n InMemoryBM25Retriever,\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nfrom datasets import load_dataset\n\n\n@super_component\nclass HybridRetriever:\n def __init__(\n self,\n document_store: InMemoryDocumentStore,\n embedder_model: str = \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\",\n ):\n embedding_retriever = InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store)\n bm25_retriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store)\n text_embedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(embedder_model)\n document_joiner = DocumentJoiner()\n\n self.pipeline = Pipeline()\n self.pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", text_embedder)\n self.pipeline.add_component(\"embedding_retriever\", embedding_retriever)\n self.pipeline.add_component(\"bm25_retriever\", bm25_retriever)\n self.pipeline.add_component(\"document_joiner\", document_joiner)\n\n self.pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder\", \"embedding_retriever\")\n self.pipeline.connect(\"bm25_retriever\", \"document_joiner\")\n self.pipeline.connect(\"embedding_retriever\", \"document_joiner\")\n\n\ndataset = load_dataset(\"HaystackBot/medrag-pubmed-chunk-with-embeddings\", split=\"train\")\ndocs = [\n Document(content=doc[\"contents\"], embedding=doc[\"embedding\"]) for doc in dataset\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nquery = \"What treatments are available for chronic bronchitis?\"\n\nresult = HybridRetriever(document_store).run(text=query, query=query)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n### Input Mapping\n\nYou can optionally map the input names of your SuperComponent to the actual sockets inside the pipeline.\n\n```python\ninput_mapping = {\"query\": [\"retriever.query\", \"prompt.query\"]}\n```\n\n### Output Mapping\n\nYou can also map the pipeline's output sockets that you want to expose to the SuperComponent's output names.\n\n```python\noutput_mapping = {\"llm.replies\": \"replies\"}\n```\n\nIf you don’t provide mappings, SuperComponent will try to auto-detect them. So, if multiple components have outputs with the same name, we recommend using `output_mapping` to avoid conflicts.\n\n## SuperComponent class\n\nHaystack also gives you an option to inherit from SuperComponent class. This option requires `to_dict` and `from_dict` serialization, as well as the input and output mapping described above.\n\n### Example\n\nHere is a simple example of initializing a `SuperComponent` with a pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, SuperComponent\n\nwith open(\"pipeline.yaml\", \"r\") as file:\n pipeline = Pipeline.load(file)\n\nsuper_component = SuperComponent(pipeline)\n```\n\nThe example pipeline below retrieves relevant documents based on a user query, builds a custom prompt using those documents, then sends the prompt to an `OpenAIChatGenerator` to create an answer. The `SuperComponent` wraps the pipeline so it can be run with a simple input (`query`) and returns a clean output (`replies`).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, SuperComponent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.chat_message import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\"),\n Document(content=\"London is the capital of England.\"),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents)\n\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n '''\n According to the following documents:\n {% for document in documents %}\n {{document.content}}\n {% endfor %}\n Answer the given question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n '''\n )\n]\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=prompt_template, required_variables=\"*\")\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"retriever\", InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store))\npipeline.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator())\npipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\npipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\n## Create a super component with simplified input/output mapping\nwrapper = SuperComponent(\n pipeline=pipeline,\n input_mapping={\n \"query\": [\"retriever.query\", \"prompt_builder.query\"],\n },\n output_mapping={\n \"llm.replies\": \"replies\",\n \"retriever.documents\": \"documents\"\n }\n)\n\n## Run the pipeline with simplified interface\nresult = wrapper.run(query=\"What is the capital of France?\")\nprint(result)\n{'replies': [ChatMessage(_role=,\n _content=[TextContent(text='The capital of France is Paris.')],...)\n```\n\n## Type Checking and Static Code Analysis\n\nCreating SuperComponents using the @super_component decorator can induce type or linting errors. One way to avoid these issues is to add the exposed public methods to your SuperComponent. Here's an example:\n\n```python\nfrom typing import TYPE_CHECKING\n\nif TYPE_CHECKING:\n\n def run(self, *, documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]: ...\n def warm_up(self) -> None: # noqa: D102\n ...\n```\n\n## Ready-Made SuperComponents\n\nYou can see two implementations of SuperComponents already integrated in Haystack:\n\n- [DocumentPreprocessor](../../pipeline-components/preprocessors/documentpreprocessor.mdx)\n- [MultiFileConverter](../../pipeline-components/converters/multifileconverter.mdx)\n- [OpenSearchHybridRetriever](../../pipeline-components/retrievers/opensearchhybridretriever.mdx)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/components.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Components\"\nid: components\nslug: \"/components\"\ndescription: \"Components are the building blocks of a pipeline. They perform tasks such as preprocessing, retrieving, or summarizing text while routing queries through different branches of a pipeline. This page is a summary of all component types available in Haystack.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Components\n\nComponents are the building blocks of a pipeline. They perform tasks such as preprocessing, retrieving, or summarizing text while routing queries through different branches of a pipeline. This page is a summary of all component types available in Haystack.\n\nComponents are connected to each other using a [pipeline](pipelines.mdx), and they function like building blocks that can be easily switched out for each other. A component can take the selected outputs of other components as input. You can also provide input to a component when you call `pipeline.run()`.\n\n## Stand-Alone or In a Pipeline\n\nYou can integrate components in a pipeline to perform a specific task. But you can also use some of them stand-alone, outside of a pipeline. For example, you can run `DocumentWriter` on its own, to write documents into a Document Store. To check how to use a component and if it's usable outside of a pipeline, check the _Usage_ section on the component's documentation page.\n\nEach component has a `run()` method. When you connect components in a pipeline, and you run the pipeline by calling `Pipeline.run()`, it invokes the `run()` method for each component sequentially.\n\n## Input and Output\n\nTo connect components in a pipeline, you need to know the names of the inputs and outputs they accept. The output of one component must be compatible with the input the subsequent component accepts. For example, to connect Retriever and Ranker in a pipeline, you must know that the Retriever outputs `documents` and the Ranker accepts `documents` as input.\n\nThe mandatory inputs and outputs are listed in a table at the top of each component's documentation page so that you can quickly check them:\n\n\nYou can also look them up in the code in the component`run()` method. Here's an example of the inputs and outputs of `TransformerSimilarityRanker`:\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(documents=List[Document]) # \"documents\" is the output name you need when connecting components in a pipeline\ndef run(self, query: str, documents: List[Document], top_k: Optional[int] = None):# \"query\" and \"documents\" are the mandatory inputs, additionally you can also specify the optional top_k parameter\n\"\"\"\nReturns a list of Documents ranked by their similarity to the given query.\n\n:param query: Query string.\n:param documents: List of Documents.\n:param top_k: The maximum number of Documents you want the Ranker to return.\n:return: List of Documents sorted by their similarity to the query with the most similar Documents appearing first.\n\"\"\"\n```\n\n## Warming Up Components\n\nComponents that use heavy resources, like LLMs or embedding models, have a `warm_up()` method that loads the necessary resources (such as models) into memory. This method is automatically called the first time the component runs, so you can use components directly without explicitly calling `warm_up()`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\n\nresult = doc_embedder.run([doc]) # warm_up() is called automatically on first run\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n```\n\nYou can still call `warm_up()` explicitly if you want to control when resources are loaded.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/concepts-overview.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Haystack Concepts Overview\"\nid: concepts-overview\nslug: \"/concepts-overview\"\ndescription: \"Haystack provides all the tools you need to build custom agents and RAG pipelines with LLMs that work for you. This includes everything from prototyping to deployment. This page discusses the most important concepts Haystack operates on.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Haystack Concepts Overview\n\nHaystack provides all the tools you need to build custom agents and RAG pipelines with LLMs that work for you. This includes everything from prototyping to deployment. This page discusses the most important concepts Haystack operates on.\n\n### Components\n\nHaystack offers various components, each performing different kinds of tasks. You can see the whole variety in the **PIPELINE COMPONENTS** section in the left-side navigation. These are often powered by the latest Large Language Models (LLMs) and transformer models. Code-wise, they are Python classes with methods you can directly call. Most commonly, all you need to do is initialize the component with the required parameters and then run it with a `run()` method.\n\nWorking on this level with Haystack components is a hands-on approach. Components define the name and the type of all of their inputs and outputs. The Component API reduces complexity and makes it easier to [create custom components](components/custom-components.mdx), for example, for third-party APIs and databases. Haystack validates the connections between components before running the pipeline and, if needed, generates error messages with instructions on fixing the errors.\n\n#### Generators\n\n[Generators](../pipeline-components/generators.mdx) are responsible for generating text responses after you give them a prompt. They are specific for each LLM technology (OpenAI, Cohere, local models, and others). There are two types of Generators: chat and non-chat:\n\n- The chat ones enable chat completion and are designed for conversational contexts. It expects a list of messages to interact with the user.\n- The non-chat Generators use LLMs for simpler text generation (for example, translating or summarizing text).\n\nRead more about various Generators in our [guides](../pipeline-components/generators/guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx).\n\n#### Retrievers\n\n[Retrievers](../pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx) go through all the documents in a Document Store, select the ones that match the user query, and pass it on to the next component. There are various Retrievers that are customized for specific Document Stores. This means that they can handle specific requirements for each database using customized parameters.\n\nFor example, for Elasticsearch Document Store, you will find both the Document Store and Retriever packages in its GitHub [repo](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/elasticsearch).\n\n### Document Stores\n\n[Document Store](document-store.mdx) is an object that stores your documents in Haystack, like an interface to a storage database. It uses specific functions like `write_documents()` or `delete_documents()` to work with data. Various components have access to the Document Store and can interact with it by, for example, reading or writing Documents.\n\nIf you are working with more complex pipelines in Haystack, you can use a [`DocumentWriter`](../pipeline-components/writers/documentwriter.mdx) component to write data into Document Stores for you\n\n### Data Classes\n\nYou can use different [data classes](data-classes.mdx) in Haystack to carry the data through the system. The data classes are mostly likely to appear as inputs or outputs of your pipelines.\n\n`Document` class contains information to be carried through the pipeline. It can be text, metadata, tables, or binary data. Documents can be written into Document Stores but also written and read by other components.\n\n`Answer` class holds not only the answer generated in a pipeline but also the originating query and metadata.\n\n### Pipelines\n\nFinally, you can combine various components, Document Stores, and integrations into [pipelines](pipelines.mdx) to create powerful and customizable systems. It is a highly flexible system that allows you to have simultaneous flows, standalone components, loops, and other types of connections. You can have the preprocessing, indexing, and querying steps all in one pipeline, or you can split them up according to your needs.\n\nIf you want to reuse pipelines, you can save them into a convenient format (YAML, TOML, and more) on a disk or share them around using the [serialization](pipelines/serialization.mdx) process.\n\nHere is a short Haystack pipeline, illustrated:\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ChatMessage\"\nid: chatmessage\nslug: \"/chatmessage\"\ndescription: \"`ChatMessage` is the central abstraction to represent a message for a LLM.

multiple content types: text, tool calls, and tool call results.\n\nThere are some breaking changes involved, so we recommend reviewing this guide to migrate smoothly.\n\n### Creating a ChatMessage\n\nYou can no longer directly initialize `ChatMessage` using `role`, `content`, and `meta`.\n\n- Use the following class methods instead: `from_assistant`, `from_user`, `from_system`, and `from_tool`.\n- Replace the `content` parameter with `text`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## LEGACY - DOES NOT WORK IN 2.9.0\nmessage = ChatMessage(role=ChatRole.USER, content=\"Hello!\")\n\n## Use the class method instead\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello!\")\n```\n\n### Accessing ChatMessage Attributes\n\n- The legacy `content` attribute is now internal (`_content`).\n- Inspect `ChatMessage` attributes using the following properties:\n - `role`\n - `meta`\n - `name`\n - `text` and `texts`\n - `image` and `images`\n - `tool_call` and `tool_calls`\n - `tool_call_result` and `tool_call_results`\n - `reasoning` and `reasonings`\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello!\")\n\n## LEGACY - DOES NOT WORK IN 2.9.0\nprint(message.content)\n\n## Use the appropriate property instead\nprint(message.text)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/data-classes.mdx", "content":

These are classes that carry data through the system and you are likely to interact with these as either the input or output of your pipeline.\n\nHaystack uses data classes to help components communicate with each other in a simple and modular way. By doing this, data flows seamlessly through the Haystack pipelines. This page goes over the available data classes in Haystack: ByteStream, Answer (along with its variants ExtractedAnswer and GeneratedAnswer), ChatMessage, Document, and StreamingChunk, explaining how they contribute to the Haystack ecosystem.\n\nYou can check out the detailed parameters in our [Data Classes](/reference/data-classes-api) API reference.\n\n### Answer\n\n#### Overview\n\nThe `Answer` class serves as the base for responses generated within Haystack, containing the answer's data, the originating query, and additional metadata.\n\n#### Key Features\n\n- Adaptable data handling, accommodating any data type (`data`).\n- Query tracking for contextual relevance (`query`).\n- Extensive metadata support for detailed answer description.\n\n#### Attributes\n\n```python\n@dataclass\nclass Answer:\n data: Any\n query: str\n meta: Dict[str, Any]\n```\n\n### ExtractedAnswer\n\n#### Overview\n\n`ExtractedAnswer` is a subclass of `Answer` that deals explicitly with answers derived from Documents, offering more detailed attributes.\n\n#### Key Features\n\n- Includes reference to the originating `Document`.\n- Score attribute to quantify the answer's confidence level.\n- Optional start and end indices for pinpointing answer location within the source.\n\n#### Attributes\n\n```python\n@dataclass\nclass ExtractedAnswer:\n query: str\n score: float\n data: Optional[str] = None\n document: Optional[Document] = None\n context: Optional[str] = None\n document_offset: Optional[\"Span\"] = None\n context_offset: Optional[\"Span\"] = None\n meta: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)\n```\n\n### GeneratedAnswer\n\n#### Overview\n\n`GeneratedAnswer` extends the `Answer` class to accommodate answers generated from multiple Documents.\n\n#### Key Features\n\n- Handles string-type data.\n- Links to a list of `Document` objects, enhancing answer traceability.\n\n#### Attributes\n\n```python\n@dataclass\nclass GeneratedAnswer:\n data: str\n query: str\n documents: List[Document]\n meta: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)\n```\n\n### ByteStream\n\n#### Overview\n\n`ByteStream` represents binary object abstraction in the Haystack framework and is crucial for handling various binary data formats.\n\n#### Key Features\n\n- Holds binary data and associated metadata.\n- Optional MIME type specification for flexibility.\n- File interaction methods (`to_file`, `from_file_path`, `from_string`) for easy data manipulation.\n\n#### Attributes\n\n```python\n@dataclass(repr=False)\nclass ByteStream:\n data: bytes\n meta: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict, hash=False)\n mime_type: Optional[str] = field(default=None)\n```\n\n#### Example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.byte_stream import ByteStream\n\nimage = ByteStream.from_file_path(\"dog.jpg\")\n```\n\n### ChatMessage\n\n`ChatMessage` is the central abstraction to represent a message for a LLM.

For components that interface with cloud-based services, the service provider automatically takes care of the details of provisioning the requisite hardware (like GPUs). However, if you wish to use models on your local machine, you’ll need to figure out how to deploy them on your hardware. Further complicating things, different ML libraries have different APIs to launch models on specific devices.\n\nTo make the process of running inference on local models as straightforward as possible, Haystack uses a framework-agnostic device management implementation. Exposing devices through this interface means you no longer need to worry about library-specific invocations and device representations.\n\n## Concepts\n\nHaystack’s device management is built on the following abstractions:\n\n- `DeviceType` - An enumeration that lists all the different types of supported devices.\n- `Device` - A generic representation of a device composed of a `DeviceType` and a unique identifier. Together, it represents a single device in the group of all available devices.\n- `DeviceMap` - A mapping of strings to `Device` instances. The strings represent model-specific identifiers, usually model parameters. This allows us to map specific parts of a model to specific devices.\n- `ComponentDevice` - A tagged union of a single `Device` or a `DeviceMap` instance. Components that support local inference will expose an optional `device` parameter of this type in their constructor.\n\nWith the above abstractions, Haystack can fully address any supported device that’s part of your local machine and can support the usage of multiple devices at the same time. Every component that supports local inference will internally handle the conversion of these generic representations to their backend-specific representations.\n\n:::info Source Code\n\nFind the full code for the abstractions above in the Haystack GitHub [repo](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/6a776e672fb69cc4ee42df9039066200f1baf24e/haystack/utils/device.py).\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\nTo use a single device for inference, use either the `ComponentDevice.from_single` or `ComponentDevice.from_str` class method:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import ComponentDevice, Device\n\ndevice = ComponentDevice.from_single(Device.gpu(id=1))\n## Alternatively, use a PyTorch device string\ndevice = ComponentDevice.from_str(\"cuda:1\")\ngenerator = HuggingFaceLocalGenerator(model=\"llama2\", device=device)\n```\n\nTo use multiple devices, use the `ComponentDevice.from_multiple` class method:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import ComponentDevice, Device, DeviceMap\n\ndevice_map = DeviceMap(\n {\n \"encoder.layer1\": Device.gpu(id=0),\n \"decoder.layer2\": Device.gpu(id=1),\n \"self_attention\": Device.disk(),\n \"lm_head\": Device.cpu(),\n },\n)\ndevice = ComponentDevice.from_multiple(device_map)\ngenerator = HuggingFaceLocalGenerator(model=\"llama2\", device=device)\n```\n\n### Integrating Devices in Custom Components\n\nComponents should expose an optional `device` parameter of type `ComponentDevice`. Once exposed, they can determine what to do with it:\n\n- If `device=None`, the component can pass that to the backend. In this case, the backend decides which device the model will be placed on.\n- Alternatively, the component can attempt to automatically pick an available device before passing it to the backend using the `ComponentDevice.resolve_device` class method.\n\nOnce the device has been resolved, the component can use the `ComponentDevice.to_*` methods to get the backend-specific representation of the underlying device, which is then passed to the backend.\n\nThe `ComponentDevice` instance should be serialized in the component’s `to_dict` and `from_dict` methods.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import ComponentDevice, Device, DeviceMap\n\nclass MyComponent(Component):\n def __init__(self, device: Optional[ComponentDevice] = None):\n # If device is None, automatically select a device.\n self.device = ComponentDevice.resolve_device(device)\n\n def warm_up(self):\n # Call the framework-specific conversion method.\n self.model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(\n \"deepset/bert-base-cased-squad2\", device=self.device.to_hf()\n )\n\n def to_dict(self):\n # Serialize the policy like any other (custom) data.\n return default_to_dict(\n self, device=self.device.to_dict() if self.device else None, ...\n )\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n # Deserialize the device data inplace before passing\n # it to the generic from_dict function.\n\t init_params = data[\"init_parameters\"]\n init_params[\"device\"] = ComponentDevice.from_dict(init_params[\"device\"])\n return default_from_dict(cls, data)\n\n## Automatically selects a device.\nc = MyComponent(device=None)\n\n## Uses the first GPU available.\nc = MyComponent(device=ComponentDevice.from_str(\"cuda:0\"))\n\n## Uses the CPU.\nc = MyComponent(device=ComponentDevice.from_single(Device.cpu()))\n\n## Allow the component to use multiple devices using a device map.\nc = MyComponent(device=ComponentDevice.from_multiple(DeviceMap({\n \"layer1\": Device.cpu(),\n \"layer2\": Device.gpu(1),\n \"layer3\": Device.disk()\n})))\n```\n\nIf the component’s backend provides a more specialized API to manage devices, it could add an additional init parameter that acts as a conduit. For instance, `HuggingFaceLocalGenerator` exposes a `huggingface_pipeline_kwargs` parameter through which Hugging Face-specific `device_map` arguments can be passed:\n\n```python\ngenerator = HuggingFaceLocalGenerator(\n model=\"llama2\",\n huggingface_pipeline_kwargs={\"device_map\": \"balanced\"},\n)\n```\n\nIn such cases, ensure that the parameter precedence and selection behavior is clearly documented. In the case of `HuggingFaceLocalGenerator`, the device map passed through the `huggingface_pipeline_kwargs` parameter overrides the explicit `device` parameter and is documented as such.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/document-store/choosing-a-document-store.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Choosing a Document Store\"\nid: choosing-a-document-store\nslug: \"/choosing-a-document-store\"\ndescription: \"This article goes through different types of Document Stores and explains their advantages and disadvantages.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Choosing a Document Store\n\nThis article goes through different types of Document Stores and explains their advantages and disadvantages.\n\n### Introduction\n\nWhether you are developing a chatbot, a RAG system, or an image captioner, at some point, it’ll be likely for your AI application to compare the input it gets with the information it already knows. Most of the time, this comparison is performed through vector similarity search.\n\nIf you’re unfamiliar with vectors, think about them as a way to represent text, images, or audio/video in a numerical form called vector embeddings. Vector databases are specifically designed to store such vectors efficiently, providing all the functionalities an AI application needs to implement data retrieval and similarity search.\n\nDocument Stores are special objects in Haystack that abstract all the different vector databases into a common interface that can be easily integrated into a pipeline, most commonly through a Retriever component. Normally, you will find specialized Document Store and Retriever objects for each vector database Haystack supports.\n\n### Types of vector databases\n\nBut why are vector databases so different, and which one should you use in your Haystack pipeline?\n\nWe can group vector databases into five categories, from more specialized to general purpose:\n\n- Vector libraries\n- Pure vector databases\n- Vector-capable SQL databases\n- Vector-capable NoSQL databases\n- Full-text search databases\n\nWe are working on supporting all these types in Haystack.\n\nIn the meantime, here’s the most recent overview of available integrations:\n\n\n#### Summary\n\nHere is a quick summary of different Document Stores available in Haystack.\n\nContinue further down the article for a more complex explanation of the strengths and disadvantages of each type.\n\n
\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Type | Best for |\n| Vector libraries | Managing hardware resources effectively. |\n| Pure vector DBs | Managing lots of high-dimensional data. |\n| Vector-capable SQL DBs | Lower maintenance costs with focus on structured data and less on vectors. |\n| Vector-capable NoSQL DBs | Combining vectors with structured data without the limitations of the traditional relational model. |\n| Full-text search DBs | Superior full-text search, reliable for production. |\n| In-memory | Fast, minimal prototypes on small datasets. |\n\n
\n\n#### Vector libraries\n\nVector libraries are often included in the “vector database” category improperly, as they are limited to handling only vectors, are designed to work in-memory, and normally don’t have a clean way to store data on disk. Still, they are the way to go every time performance and speed are the top requirements for your AI application, as these libraries can use hardware resources very effectively.\n\n:::warning In progress\n\nWe are currently developing the support for vector libraries in Haystack.\n:::\n\n#### Pure vector databases\n\nPure vector databases, also known as just “vector databases”, offer efficient similarity search capabilities through advanced indexing techniques. Most of them support metadata, and despite a recent trend to add more text-search features on top of it, you should consider pure vector databases closer to vector libraries than a regular database. Pick a pure vector database when your application needs to manage huge amounts of high-dimensional data effectively: they are designed to be highly scalable and highly available. Most are open source, but companies usually provide them “as a service” through paid subscriptions.\n\n- [Chroma](../../document-stores/chromadocumentstore.mdx)\n- [Pinecone](../../document-stores/pinecone-document-store.mdx)\n- [Qdrant](../../document-stores/qdrant-document-store.mdx)\n- [Weaviate](../../document-stores/weaviatedocumentstore.mdx)\n- [Milvus](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/milvus-document-store) (external integration)\n\n#### Vector-capable SQL databases\n\nThis category is relatively small but growing fast and includes well-known relational databases where vector capabilities were added through plugins or extensions. They are not as performant as the previous categories, but the main advantage of these databases is the opportunity to easily combine vectors with structured data, having a one-stop data shop for your application. You should pick a vector-capable SQL database when the performance trade-off is paid off by the lower cost of maintaining a single database instance for your application or when the structured data plays a more fundamental role in your business logic, with vectors being more of a nice-to-have.\n\n- [Pgvector](../../document-stores/pgvectordocumentstore.mdx)\n\n#### Vector-capable NoSQL databases\n\nHistorically, the killer features of NoSQL databases were the ability to scale horizontally and the adoption of a flexible data model to overcome certain limitations of the traditional relational model. This stays true for databases in this category, where the vector capabilities are added on top of the existing features. Similarly to the previous category, vector support might not be as good as pure vector databases, but once again, there is a tradeoff that might be convenient to bear depending on the use case. For example, if a certain NoSQL database is already part of the stack of your application and a lower performance is not a show-stopper, you might give it a shot.\n\n- [Astra](../../document-stores/astradocumentstore.mdx)\n- [MongoDB](../../document-stores/mongodbatlasdocumentstore.mdx)\n- [Neo4j](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/neo4j-document-store) (external)\n\n#### Full-text search databases\n\nThe main advantage of full-text search databases is they are already designed to work with text, so you can expect a high level of support for text data along with good performance and the opportunity to scale both horizontally and vertically. Initially, vector capabilities were subpar and provided through plugins or extensions, but this is rapidly changing. You can see how the market leaders in this category have recently added first-class support for vectors. Pick a full-text search database if text data plays a central role in your business logic so that you can easily and effectively implement techniques like hybrid search with a good level of support for similarity search and state-of-the-art support for full-text search.\n\n- [Elasticsearch](../../document-stores/elasticsearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [OpenSearch](../../document-stores/opensearch-document-store.mdx)\n\n#### The in-memory Document Store\n\nHaystack ships with an ephemeral document store that relies on pure Python data structures stored in memory, so it doesn’t fall into any of the vector database categories above. This special Document Store is ideal for creating quick prototypes with small datasets. It doesn’t require any special setup, and it can be used right away without installing additional dependencies.\n\n- [InMemory](../../document-stores/inmemorydocumentstore.mdx)\n\n### Final considerations\n\nIt can be very challenging to pick one vector database over another by only looking at pure performance, as even the slightest difference in the benchmark can produce a different leaderboard (for example, some benchmarks test the cloud services while others work on a reference machine). Thinking about including features like filtering or not can bring in a whole new set of complexities that make the comparison even harder.\n\nWhat’s important for you to know is that the Document Store interface doesn’t add much to the costs, and the relative performance of one vector database over another should stay the same when used within Haystack pipelines.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/document-store/creating-custom-document-stores.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Creating Custom Document Stores\"\nid: creating-custom-document-stores\nslug: \"/creating-custom-document-stores\"\ndescription: \"Create your own Document Stores to manage your documents.\"\n---\n\n# Creating Custom Document Stores\n\nCreate your own Document Stores to manage your documents.\n\nCustom Document Stores are resources that you can build and leverage in situations where a ready-made solution is not available in Haystack. For example:\n\n- You’re working with a vector store that’s not yet supported in Haystack.\n- You need a very specific retrieval strategy to search for your documents.\n- You want to customize the way Haystack reads and writes documents.\n\nSimilar to [custom components](../components/custom-components.mdx), you can use a custom Document Store in a Haystack pipeline as long as you can import its code into your Python program. The best practice is distributing a custom Document Store as a standalone integration package.\n\n## Recommendations\n\nBefore you start, there are a few recommendations we provide to ensure a custom Document Store behaves consistently with the rest of the Haystack ecosystem. At the end of the day, a Document Store is just Python code written in a way that Haystack can understand, but the way you name it, organize it, and distribute it can make a difference. None of these recommendations are mandatory, but we encourage you to follow as many as you can.\n\n### Naming Convention\n\nWe recommend naming your Document Store following the format `-haystack`, for example, `chroma-haystack`. This makes it consistent with the others, lowering the cognitive load for your users and easing discoverability.\n\nThis naming convention applies to the name of the git repository (`https://github.com/your-org/example-haystack`) and the name of the Python package (`example-haystack`).\n\n### Structure\n\nMore often than not, a Document Store can be fairly complex, and setting up a dedicated Git repository can be handy and future-proof. To ease this step, we prepared a [GitHub template](https://github.com/deepset-ai/document-store) that provides the structure you need to host a custom Document Store in a dedicated repository.\n\nSee the instructions about [how to use the template](https://github.com/deepset-ai/document-store?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-use-this-repo) to get you started.\n\n### Packaging\n\nAs with any other [Haystack integration](../integrations.mdx), a Document Store can be added to your Haystack applications by installing an additional Python package, for example, with `pip`. Once you have a Git repository hosting your Document Store and a `pyproject.toml` file to create an `example-haystack` package (using our [GitHub template](https://github.com/deepset-ai/document-store)), it will be possible to `pip install` it directly from sources, for example:\n\n```shell\npip install git+https://github.com/your-org/example-haystack.git\n```\n\nThough very practical to quickly deliver prototypes, if you want others to use your custom Document Store, we recommend you publish a package on PyPI so that it will be versioned and installable with simply:\n\n```shell\npip install example-haystack\n```\n\n:::tip\n👍\n\nOur [GitHub template](https://github.com/deepset-ai/document-store) ships a GitHub workflow that will automatically publish the Document Store package on PyPI.\n:::\n\n### Documentation\n\nWe recommend thoroughly documenting your custom Document Store with a detailed README file and possibly generating API documentation using a static generator.\n\nFor inspiration, see the [neo4j-haystack](https://github.com/prosto/neo4j-haystack) repository and its [documentation](https://prosto.github.io/neo4j-haystack/) pages.\n\n## Implementation\n\n### DocumentStore Protocol\n\nYou can use any Python class as a Document Store, provided that it implements all the methods of the `DocumentStore` Python protocol defined in Haystack:\n\n```python\nclass DocumentStore(Protocol):\n def to_dict(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:\n \"\"\"\n Serializes this store to a dictionary.\n \"\"\"\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data: Dict[str, Any]) -> \"DocumentStore\":\n \"\"\"\n Deserializes the store from a dictionary.\n \"\"\"\n\n def count_documents(self) -> int:\n \"\"\"\n Returns the number of documents stored.\n \"\"\"\n\n def filter_documents(\n self,\n filters: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,\n ) -> List[Document]:\n \"\"\"\n Returns the documents that match the filters provided.\n \"\"\"\n\n def write_documents(\n self,\n documents: List[Document],\n policy: DuplicatePolicy = DuplicatePolicy.FAIL,\n ) -> int:\n \"\"\"\n Writes (or overwrites) documents into the DocumentStore, return the number of documents that was written.\n \"\"\"\n\n def delete_documents(self, document_ids: List[str]) -> None:\n \"\"\"\n Deletes all documents with a matching document_ids from the DocumentStore.\n \"\"\"\n```\n\nThe `DocumentStore` interface supports the basic CRUD operations you would normally perform on a database or a storage system, and mostly generic components like [`DocumentWriter`](../../pipeline-components/writers/documentwriter.mdx) use it.\n\n### Additional Methods\n\nUsually, a Document Store comes with additional methods that can provide advanced search functionalities. These methods are not part of the `DocumentStore` protocol and don’t follow any particular convention. We designed it like this to provide maximum flexibility to the Document Store when using any specific features of the underlying database.\n\nSome additional methods that are not part of the `DocumentStore` protocol, but are implemented by most Document Stores in Haystack, include:\n\n```python\ndef delete_all_documents(recreate_index: bool = False)\ndef update_by_filter(filters: dict[str, Any], meta: dict[str, Any], refresh: bool = False) -> int:\ndef delete_by_filter(filters: dict[str, Any]) -> int:\n```\nThese methods are not part of the Protocol but highly recommended to implement in your custom Document Store, as users often expect them to be available.\n\nFor example, Haystack wouldn’t get in the way when your Document Store defines a specific `search` method that takes a long list of parameters that only make sense in the context of a particular vector database. Normally, a [Retriever](../../pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx) component would then use this additional search method.\n\n### Retrievers\n\nTo get the most out of your custom Document Store, in most cases, you would need to create one or more accompanying Retrievers that use the additional search methods mentioned above. Before proceeding and implementing your custom Retriever, it might be helpful to learn more about [Retrievers](../../pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx) in general through the Haystack documentation.\n\nFrom the implementation perspective, Retrievers in Haystack are like any other custom component. For more details, refer to the [creating custom components](../components/custom-components.mdx) documentation page.\n\nAlthough not mandatory, we encourage you to follow more specific [naming conventions](../../pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx#naming-conventions) for your custom Retriever.\n\n### Serialization\n\nHaystack requires every component to be representable by a Python dictionary for correct serialization implementation. Some components, such as Retrievers and Writers, maintain a reference to a Document Store instance. Therefore, `DocumentStore` classes should implement the `from_dict` and `to_dict` methods. This allows to rebuild an instance after reading a pipeline from a file.\n\nFor a practical example of what to serialize in a custom Document Store, consider a database client you created using an IP address and a database name. When constructing the dictionary to return in `to_dict`, you would store the IP address and the database name, not the database client instance.\n\n### Secrets Management\n\nThere's a likelihood that users will need to provide sensitive data, such as passwords, API keys, or private URLs, to create a Document Store instance. This sensitive data could potentially be leaked if it's passed around in plain text.\n\nHaystack has a specific way to wrap sensitive data into special objects called Secrets. This prevents the data from being leaked during serialization roundtrips. We strongly recommend using this feature extensively for data security (better safe than sorry!).\n\nYou can read more about Secret Management in Haystack [documentation](../secret-management.mdx).\n\n### Testing\n\nHaystack comes with some testing functionalities you can use in a custom Document Store. In particular, an empty class inheriting from `DocumentStoreBaseTests` would already run the standard tests that any Document Store is expected to pass in order to work properly.\n\n### Implementation Tips\n\n- The best way to learn how to write a custom Document Store is to look at the existing ones: the `InMemoryDocumentStore`, which is part of Haystack, or the [`ElasticsearchDocumentStore`](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/elasticsearch), which is a Core Integration, are good places to start.\n- When starting from scratch, it might be easier to create the four CRUD methods of the `DocumentStore` protocol one at a time and test them one at a time as well. For example:\n 1. Implement the logic for `count_documents`.\n 2. In your `test_document_store.py` module, define the test class `TestDocumentStore(CountDocumentsTest)`. Note how we only inherit from the specific testing mix-in `CountDocumentsTest`.\n 3. Make the tests pass.\n 4. Implement the logic for `write_documents`.\n 5. Change `test_document_store.py` so that your class now also derives from the `WriteDocumentsTest` mix-in: `TestDocumentStore(CountDocumentsTest, WriteDocumentsTest)`.\n 6. Keep iterating with the remaining methods.\n- Having a notebook where users can try out your Document Store in a full pipeline can really help adoption, and it’s a great source of documentation. Our [haystack-cookbook](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-cookbook) repository has good visibility, and we encourage contributors to create a PR and add their own.\n\nVerifying that the implementation meets all `DocumentStoreBaseTests` [tests](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/testing/document_store.py) is the minimum requirement for a custom Document Store to be consistent with the rest of the Haystack ecosystem.\n\nBut, ideally making it compatible with the ``DocumentStoreBaseExtendedTests`` tests is a good way to ensure that your Document Store meets all the common used functionalities that users expect from a Document Store, such as `delete_all_documents` or `update_by_filter`.\n\nIf the technology you are using for your Document Store supports asynchronous operations, we recommend implementing `async` versions of the methods in the `DocumentStore` protocol as well. This allows users to take advantage of async features in their applications and pipelines, improving performance and scalability.\n\n## Get Featured on the Integrations Page\n\nThe [Integrations web page](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations) makes Haystack integrations visible to the community, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase your work. Once your Document Store is usable and properly packaged, you can open a pull request in the [haystack-integrations](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-integrations) GitHub repository to add an integration tile.\n\nSee the [integrations documentation page](../integrations.mdx#how-do-i-showcase-my-integration) for more details.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/document-store.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Document Store\"\nid: document-store\nslug: \"/document-store\"\ndescription: \"You can think of the Document Store as a database that stores your data and provides them to the Retriever at query time.

Learn how to use Document Store in a pipeline or how to create your own.\n\nDocument Store is an object that stores your documents. In Haystack, a Document Store is different from a component, as it doesn't have the `run()` method. You can think of it as an interface to your database – you put the information there, or you can look through it. This means that a Document Store is not a piece of a pipeline but rather a tool that the components of a pipeline have access to and can interact with.\n\n:::tip Work with Retrievers\n\nThe most common way to use a Document Store in Haystack is to fetch documents using a Retriever. A Document Store will often have a corresponding Retriever to get the most out of specific technologies. See more information in our [Retriever](../pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx) documentation.\n:::\n\n:::note How to choose a Document Store?\n\nTo learn about different types of Document Stores and their strengths and disadvantages, head to the [Choosing a Document Store](document-store/choosing-a-document-store.mdx) page.\n:::\n\n### DocumentStore Protocol\n\nDocument Stores in Haystack are designed to use the following methods as part of their protocol:\n\n- `count_documents` returns the number of documents stored in the given store as an integer.\n- `filter_documents` returns a list of documents that match the provided filters.\n- `write_documents` writes or overwrites documents into the given store and returns the number of documents that were written as an integer.\n- `delete_documents` deletes all documents with given `document_ids` from the Document Store.\n\n### Initialization\n\nTo use a Document Store in a pipeline, you must initialize it first.\n\nSee the installation and initialization details for each Document Store in the \"Document Stores\" section in the navigation panel on your left.\n\n### Work with Documents\n\nConvert your data into `Document` objects before writing them into a Document Store along with its metadata and document ID.\n\nThe ID field is mandatory, so if you don’t choose a specific ID yourself, Haystack will do its best to come up with a unique ID based on the document’s information and assign it automatically. However, since Haystack uses the document’s contents to create an ID, two identical documents might have identical IDs. Keep it in mind as you update your documents, as the ID will not be updated automatically.\n\n```python\ndocument_store = ChromaDocumentStore()\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n meta={\"name\": DOCUMENT_NAME, ...}, id=\"document_unique_id\", content=\"this is content\"\n ),\n \t...\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents)\n```\n\nTo write documents into the `InMemoryDocumentStore`, simply call the `.write_documents()` function:\n\n```python\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"My name is Jean and I live in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Mark and I live in Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Giorgio and I live in Rome.\"),\n ],\n)\n```\n\n:::note `DocumentWriter`\n\nSee `DocumentWriter` component [docs](../pipeline-components/writers/documentwriter.mdx) to write your documents into a Document Store in a pipeline.\n:::\n\n### DuplicatePolicy\n\nThe `DuplicatePolicy` is a class that defines the different options for handling documents with the same ID in a `DocumentStore`. It has three possible values:\n\n- **OVERWRITE**: Indicates that if a document with the same ID already exists in the `DocumentStore`, it should be overwritten with the new document.\n- **SKIP**: If a document with the same ID already exists, the new document will be skipped and not added to the `DocumentStore`.\n- **FAIL**: Raises an error if a document with the same ID already exists in the `DocumentStore`. It prevents duplicate documents from being added.\n\nHere is an example of how you could apply the policy to skip the existing document:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_writer = DocumentWriter(\n document_store=document_store,\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.SKIP,\n)\n```\n\n### Custom Document Store\n\nAll custom document stores must implement the [protocol](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/13804293b1bb79743e5a30e980b76a0561dcfaf8/haystack/document_stores/types/protocol.py) with four mandatory methods: `count_documents`,`filter_documents`, `write_documents`, and `delete_documents`.\n\nThe `init` function should indicate all the specifics for the chosen database or vector store.\n\nWe also recommend having a custom corresponding Retriever to get the most out of a specific Document Store.\n\nSee [Creating Custom Document Stores](document-store/creating-custom-document-stores.mdx) page for more details.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/experimental-package.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Experimental Package\"\nid: experimental-package\nslug: \"/experimental-package\"\ndescription: \"Try out new experimental features with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# Experimental Package\n\nTry out new experimental features with Haystack.\n\nThe `haystack-experimental` package allows you to test new experimental features without committing to their official release.

Compatibility with older versions of Haystack is not guaranteed.\n:::\n\n### Lifecycle\n\nEach experimental feature has a default lifespan of 3 months starting from the date of the first non-pre-release build that includes it. Once it reaches the end of its lifespan, we will remove it from `haystack-experimental` and either:\n\n- Merge the feature into Haystack and publish it with the next minor release,\n- Release the feature as an integration, or\n- Drop the feature.\n\n### Usage\n\nYou can import the experimental new features like any other Haystack integration package:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_experimental.components.generators import FoobarGenerator\n\nc = FoobarGenerator()\nc.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's an experiment? Be brief.\")])\n```\n\nExperiments can also override existing Haystack features. For example, you can opt into an experimental type of `Pipeline` by changing the usual import:\n\n```python\n## from haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack_experimental import Pipeline\n\npipe = Pipeline()\n## ...\npipe.run(...)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks:\n\n- [Improving Retrieval with Auto-Merging and Hierarchical Document Retrieval](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/auto_merging_retriever)\n- [Invoking APIs with OpenAPITool](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/openapitool)\n- [Conversational RAG using Memory](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/conversational_rag_using_memory)\n- [Define & Run Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/tools_support)\n- [Newsletter Sending Agent with Experimental Haystack Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/newsletter-agent)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/integrations.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Introduction to Integrations\"\nid: integrations\nslug: \"/integrations\"\ndescription: \"The Haystack ecosystem integrates with many other technologies, such as vector databases, model providers and even custom components made by the community.

Here you can explore our integrations, which may be maintined by deepset, or submitted by others.\n\nHaystack integrates with a number of other technologies and tools. For example, you can use a number of different model providers or databases with Haystack. \n\nThere are two main types of integrations:\n\n- **Maintained by deepset:** All of the integrations we maintain are hosted in the [haystack-core-integrations](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations) repository.\n- **Maintained by our partners or community:** These are integrations that you, our partners, or anyone else can build and maintain themselves. Given they comply with some of our requirements, we will also showcase these on our website.\n\n## What are integrations?\n\nAn integration is any type of external technology that can be used to extend the capabilities of the Haystack framework. Some integration examples are those providing access to model providers like OpenAI or Cohere, to databases like Weaviate and Qdrant, or even to monitoring tools such as Traceloop. They can be components, Document Stores, or any other feature that can be used with Haystack.\n\nWe maintain a list of available integrations on the [Haystack Integrations](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations) page, where you can see which integrations we maintain or which have been contributed by the community.\n\nAn integrations page focuses on explaining how Haystack integrates with that technology. For example, the OpenAI integration page will provide a summary of the various ways Haystack and OpenAI can work together.\n\nHere are the integration types you can currently choose from:\n\n- **Model Provider**: You can see how we integrate with different model providers and the available components through these integrations\n- **Document Store**: These are the databases and vector stores you can use with your Haystack pipelines.\n- **Evaluation Framework**: Evaluation frameworks that are supported by Haystack that you can use to evaluate Haystack pipelines.\n- **Monitoring Tool**: These are tools like Chainlit and Traceloop that integrate with Haystack and provide monitoring and observability capabilities.\n- **Data Ingestion**: These are the integrations that allow you to ingest and use data from different resources, such as Notion, Mastodon, and others.\n- **Custom Component**: Some integrations that cover very unique use cases are often contributed and maintained by our community members. We list these integrations under the _Custom Component_ tag.\n\n## How do I use an integration?\n\nEach page dedicated to an integration contains installation instructions and basic usage instructions. For example, the OpenAI integration page gives you an overview of the different ways in which you can interact with OpenAI.\n\n## How can I create an integration?\n\nThe most common types of integrations are custom components and Document Stores. Integrations such as model providers might even include multiple custom components. Have a look at these documentation pages that will guide you through the requirements for each integration type:\n\n- [Creating Custom Components](components/custom-components.mdx)\n- [Creating Custom Document Stores](document-store/creating-custom-document-stores.mdx)\n\n## How do I showcase my integration?\n\nTo make your integration visible to the Haystack community, contribute it to our [haystack-integrations](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-integrations) GitHub repository. There are several requirements you have to follow:\n\n- Make sure your contribution is [packaged](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/), installable, and runnable. We suggest using [hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/) for this purpose.\n- Provide the GitHub repo and issue link.\n- Create a Pull Request in the [haystack-integrations](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-integrations) repo by following the [draft-integration.md](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-integrations/blob/main/draft-integration.md) and include a clear explanation of what your integration is. This page should include:\n - Installation instructions\n - A list of the components the integration includes\n - Examples of how to use it with clear/runnable code\n - Licensing information\n - (Optionally) Documentation and/or API docs that you’ve generated for your repository" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/jinja-templates.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Jinja Templates\"\nid: jinja-templates\nslug: \"/jinja-templates\"\ndescription: \"Learn how Jinja templates work with Haystack components.\"\n---\n\n# Jinja Templates\n\nLearn how Jinja templates work with Haystack components.\n\nJinja templates are text structures that contain placeholders for generating dynamic content. These placeholders are filled in when the template is rendered. You can check out the full list of Jinja2 features in the [original documentation](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/templates/).\n\nYou can use these templates in Haystack [Builders](../pipeline-components/builders.mdx), [OutputAdapter](../pipeline-components/converters/outputadapter.mdx), and [ConditionalRouter](../pipeline-components/routers/conditionalrouter.mdx) components.\n\nHere is an example of `OutputAdapter` using a short Jinja template to output only the content field of the first document in the arrays of documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\n\nadapter = OutputAdapter(template=\"{{ documents[0].content }}\", output_type=str)\ninput_data = {\"documents\": [Document(content=\"Test content\")]}\nexpected_output = {\"output\": \"Test content\"}\nassert adapter.run(**input_data) == expected_output\n```\n\n### Using Python f‑strings with Jinja\n\nWhen you embed Jinja placeholders inside a Python f‑string, you must escape Jinja’s `{` and `}` by doubling them (so `{{ var }}` becomes `{{{{ var }}}}`). Otherwise, Python will consume the braces and the Jinja variable won’t be found.\n\nPreferred template:\n\n```python\ntemplate = \"\"\"\nLanguage: {{ language }}\nQuestion: {{ question }}\n\"\"\"\n## pass both variables when rendering\n```\n\nIt you need to use an f‑string (escape braces):\n\n```python\nlanguage = \"en\"\ntemplate = f\"\"\"\nLanguage: {language}\nQuestion: {{{{ question }}}}\n\"\"\"\n```\n\n## Safety Features\n\nDue to how we use Jinja in some Components, there are some security considerations to take into account. Jinja works by executing embedded in templates, so it’s _imperative_ that they stem from a trusted source. If the template is allowed to be customized by the end user, it can potentially lead to remote code execution.\n\nTo mitigate this risk, Jinja templates are executed and rendered in a [sandbox environment](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/sandbox/). While this approach is safer, it's also less flexible and limits the expressiveness of the template. If you need the more advanced functionality of Jinja templates, components that use them provide an `unsafe` init parameter - setting it to `False` will disable the sandbox environment and enable unsafe template rendering.\n\nWith unsafe template rendering, the [OutputAdapter](../pipeline-components/converters/outputadapter.mdx) and [ConditionalRouter](../pipeline-components/routers/conditionalrouter.mdx) components allow their `output_type` to be set to one of the [Haystack data classes](data-classes.mdx) such as `ChatMessage`, `Document`, or `Answer`.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/metadata-filtering.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Metadata Filtering\"\nid: metadata-filtering\nslug: \"/metadata-filtering\"\ndescription: \"This page provides a detailed explanation of how to apply metadata filters at query time.\"\n---\n\n# Metadata Filtering\n\nThis page provides a detailed explanation of how to apply metadata filters at query time.\n\nWhen you index documents into your Document Store, you can attach metadata to them. One example is the `DocumentLanguageClassifier`, which adds the language of the document's content to its metadata. Components like `MetadataRouter` can then route documents based on their metadata.\n\nYou can then use the metadata to filter your search queries, allowing you to narrow down the results by focusing on specific criteria. This ensures your Retriever fetches answers from the most relevant subset of your data.\n\nTo illustrate how metadata filters work, imagine you have a set of annual reports from various companies. You may want to perform a search on just a specific year and just on a small selection of companies. This can reduce the workload of the Retriever and also ensure that you get more relevant results.\n\n## Filtering Types\n\nFilters are defined as a dictionary or nested dictionaries that can be of two types: Comparison or Logic.\n\n### Comparison\n\nComparison operators help search your metadata fields according the specified conditions.\n\nComparison dictionaries must contain the following keys:\n\n\\-`field`: the name of one of the meta fields of a document, such as `meta.years`.\n\n\\-`operator`: must be one of the following:\n\n```\n - `==`\n - `!=`\n - `>`\n - `>=`\n - `<`\n - `<=`\n - `in`\n - `not in`\n```\n\n:::info\nThe available comparison operators may vary depending on the specific Document Store integration. For example, the `ChromaDocumentStore` supports two additional operators: `contains` and `not contains`. Find the details about the supported filters in the specific integration’s API reference.\n:::\n\n\\-`value`: takes a single value or (in the case of \"in\" and “not in”) a list of values.\n\n#### Example\n\nHere is an example of a simple filter in the form of a dictionary. The filter selects documents classified as “article” in the `type` meta field of the document:\n\n```python\nfilters = {\"field\": \"meta.type\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"article\"}\n```\n\n### Logic\n\nLogical operators can be used to create a nested dictionary, allowing you to apply multiple `fields` as filter conditions. Logic dictionaries must contain the following keys:\n\n\\-`operator`: usually one of the following:\n\n```\n - `NOT`\n - `OR`\n - `AND`\n```\n\n:::info\nThe available logic operators may vary depending on the specific Document Store integration. For example, the `ChromaDocumentStore` doesn’t support the `NOT` operator. Find the details about the supported filters in the specific integration’s API reference.\n:::\n\n\\-`conditions`: must be a list of dictionaries, either of type Comparison or Logic.\n\n#### Nested Filter Example\n\nHere is a more complex filter that uses both Comparison and Logic to find documents where:\n\n- Meta field `type` is \"article\",\n- Meta field `date` is between 1420066800 and 1609455600 (a specific date range),\n- Meta field `rating` is greater than or equal to 3,\n- Documents are either classified as `genre`  [\"economy\", \"politics\"] `OR` the meta field `publisher` is \"nytimes\".\n\n```python\nfilters = {\n \"operator\": \"AND\",\n \"conditions\": [\n {\"field\": \"meta.type\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"article\"},\n {\"field\": \"meta.date\", \"operator\": \">=\", \"value\": 1420066800},\n {\"field\": \"meta.date\", \"operator\": \"<\", \"value\": 1609455600},\n {\"field\": \"meta.rating\", \"operator\": \">=\", \"value\": 3},\n {\n \"operator\": \"OR\",\n \"conditions\": [\n {\n \"field\": \"meta.genre\",\n \"operator\": \"in\",\n \"value\": [\"economy\", \"politics\"],\n },\n {\"field\": \"meta.publisher\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"nytimes\"},\n ],\n },\n ],\n}\n```\n\n## Filters Usage\n\nFilters can be applied either through the `Retriever` class or directly within Document Stores.\n\nIn the `Retriever` class, filters are passed through the `filters` argument. When working with a pipeline, filters can be provided to `Pipeline.run()`, which will automatically route them to the `Retriever` class (refer to the [pipelines documentation](pipelines.mdx) for more information on working with pipelines).\n\nThe example below shows how filters can be passed to Retrievers within a pipeline:\n\n```python\npipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\n \"query\": \"Why did the revenue increase?\",\n \"filters\": {\n \"operator\": \"AND\",\n \"conditions\": [\n {\"field\": \"meta.years\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"2019\"},\n {\n \"field\": \"meta.companies\",\n \"operator\": \"in\",\n \"value\": [\"BMW\", \"Mercedes\"],\n },\n ],\n },\n },\n },\n)\n```\n\nIn Document Stores, the `filter_documents` method is used to apply filters to stored documents, if the specific integration supports filtering.\n\nThe example below shows how filters can be passed to the `QdrantDocumentStore`:\n\n```python\nfilters = {\n \"operator\": \"AND\",\n \"conditions\": [\n {\"field\": \"meta.type\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"article\"},\n {\"field\": \"meta.genre\", \"operator\": \"in\", \"value\": [\"economy\", \"politics\"]},\n ],\n}\nresults = QdrantDocumentStore.filter_documents(filters=filters)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Filtering Documents with Metadata](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/31_metadata_filtering)\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Extracting Metadata Filters from a Query](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/extracting_metadata_filters_from_a_user_query)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/pipelines/asyncpipeline.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AsyncPipeline\"\nid: asyncpipeline\nslug: \"/asyncpipeline\"\ndescription: \"Use AsyncPipeline to run multiple Haystack components at the same time for faster processing.\"\n---\n\n# AsyncPipeline\n\nUse AsyncPipeline to run multiple Haystack components at the same time for faster processing.\n\nThe `AsyncPipeline` in Haystack introduces asynchronous execution capabilities, enabling concurrent component execution when dependencies allow. This optimizes performance, particularly in complex pipelines where multiple independent components can run in parallel.\n\nThe `AsyncPipeline` provides significant performance improvements in scenarios such as:\n\n- Hybrid retrieval pipelines, where multiple Retrievers can run in parallel,\n- Multiple LLM calls that can be executed concurrently,\n- Complex pipelines with independent branches of execution,\n- I/O-bound operations that benefit from asynchronous execution.\n\n## Key Features\n\n### Concurrent Execution\n\nThe `AsyncPipeline` schedules components based on input readiness and dependency resolution, ensuring efficient parallel execution when possible. For example, in a hybrid retrieval scenario, multiple Retrievers can run simultaneously if they do not depend on each other.\n\n### Execution Methods\n\nThe `AsyncPipeline` offers three ways to run your pipeline:\n\n#### Synchronous Run (`run`)\n\nExecutes the pipeline synchronously with the provided input data. This method is blocking, making it suitable for environments where asynchronous execution is not possible or desired. Although components execute concurrently internally, the method blocks until the pipeline completes.\n\n#### Asynchronous Run (`run_async`)\n\nExecutes the pipeline in an asynchronous manner, allowing non-blocking execution. This method is ideal when integrating the pipeline into an async workflow, enabling smooth operation within larger async applications or services.\n\n#### Asynchronous Generator (`run_async_generator`)\n\nAllows step-by-step execution by yielding partial outputs as components complete their tasks. This is particularly useful for monitoring progress, debugging, and handling outputs incrementally. It differs from `run_async`, which executes the pipeline in a single async call.\n\nIn an `AsyncPipeline`, components such as A and B will run in parallel _only if they have no shared dependencies_ and can process inputs independently.\n\n### Concurrency Control\n\nYou can control the maximum number of components that run simultaneously using the `concurrency_limit` parameter to ensure controlled resource usage.\n\nYou can find more details in our [API Reference](/reference/pipeline-api#asyncpipeline), or directly in the pipeline's [GitHub code](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/core/pipeline/async_pipeline.py).\n\n## Example\n\n```python\nimport asyncio\n\nfrom haystack import AsyncPipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import DocumentJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import (\n InMemoryBM25Retriever,\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Khufu is the largest pyramid.\"),\n Document(content=\"Khafre is the middle pyramid.\"),\n Document(content=\"Menkaure is the smallest pyramid.\"),\n]\n\ndocs_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ndocs_embedder.warm_up()\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs_embedder.run(documents=documents)[\"documents\"])\n\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"\"\"\n You are a precise, factual QA assistant.\n According to the following documents:\n {% for document in documents %}\n {{document.content}}\n {% endfor %}\n\n If an answer cannot be deduced from the documents, say \"I don't know based on these documents\".\n\n When answering:\n - be concise\n - list the documents that support your answer\n\n Answer the given question.\n \"\"\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"{{query}}\"),\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"Answer:\"),\n]\n\nhybrid_rag_retrieval = AsyncPipeline()\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.add_component(\"text_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.add_component(\n \"embedding_retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=3),\n)\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.add_component(\n \"bm25_retriever\",\n InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=3),\n)\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.add_component(\"document_joiner\", DocumentJoiner())\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.add_component(\n \"prompt_builder\",\n ChatPromptBuilder(template=prompt_template),\n)\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator())\n\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.connect(\n \"text_embedder.embedding\",\n \"embedding_retriever.query_embedding\",\n)\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.connect(\"bm25_retriever.documents\", \"document_joiner.documents\")\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.connect(\n \"embedding_retriever.documents\",\n \"document_joiner.documents\",\n)\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.connect(\"document_joiner.documents\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nhybrid_rag_retrieval.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nquestion = \"Which pyramid is neither the smallest nor the biggest?\"\n\ndata = {\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": question},\n \"text_embedder\": {\"text\": question},\n \"bm25_retriever\": {\"query\": question},\n}\n\n\nasync def process_results():\n async for partial_output in hybrid_rag_retrieval.run_async_generator(\n data=data,\n include_outputs_from={\"document_joiner\", \"llm\"},\n ):\n if \"document_joiner\" in partial_output:\n print(\n \"Retrieved documents:\",\n len(partial_output[\"document_joiner\"][\"documents\"]),\n )\n if \"llm\" in partial_output:\n print(\"Generated answer:\", partial_output[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\n\n\nasyncio.run(process_results())\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/pipelines/creating-pipelines.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Creating Pipelines\"\nid: creating-pipelines\nslug: \"/creating-pipelines\"\ndescription: \"Learn the general principles of creating a pipeline.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Creating Pipelines\n\nLearn the general principles of creating a pipeline.\n\nYou can use these instructions to create both indexing and query pipelines.\n\nThis task uses an example of a semantic document search pipeline.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nFor each component you want to use in your pipeline, you must know the names of its input and output.

Initialize components\n\nInitialize the components, passing any parameters you want to configure:\n\n```python\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\ntext_embedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder()\nretriever = InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n```\n\n### 3\\. Create the pipeline\n\n```python\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\n```\n\n### 4\\. Add components\n\nAdd components to the pipeline one by one. The order in which you do this doesn't matter:\n\n```python\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"component_name\", component_type)\n\n## Here is an example of how you'd add the components initialized in step 2 above:\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", text_embedder)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"retriever\", retriever)\n\n## You could also add components without initializing them before:\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\n```\n\n### 5\\. Connect components\n\nConnect the components by indicating which output of a component should be connected to the input of the next component. If a component has only one input or output and the connection is obvious, you can just pass the component name without specifying the input or output.\n\nTo understand what inputs are expected to run your pipeline, use an `.inputs()` pipeline function. See a detailed examples in the [Pipeline Inputs](#pipeline-inputs) section below.\n\nHere's a more visual explanation within the code:\n\n```python\n## This is the syntax to connect components. Here you're connecting output1 of component1 to input1 of component2:\npipeline.connect(\"component1.output1\", \"component2.input1\")\n\n## If both components have only one output and input, you can just pass their names:\npipeline.connect(\"component1\", \"component2\")\n\n## If one of the components has only one output but the other has multiple inputs,\n## you can pass just the name of the component with a single output, but for the component with\n## multiple inputs, you must specify which input you want to connect\n\n## Here, component1 has only one output, but component2 has multiple inputs:\npipeline.connect(\"component1\", \"component2.input1\")\n\n## And here's how it should look like for the semantic document search pipeline we're using as an example:\npipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n## Because the InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever only has one input, this is also correct:\npipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever\")\n```\n\nYou need to link all the components together, connecting them gradually in pairs. Here's an explicit example for the pipeline we're assembling:\n\n```python\n## Imagine this pipeline has four components: text_embedder, retriever, prompt_builder and llm.\n## Here's how you would connect them into a pipeline:\n\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever\")\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n```\n\n### 6\\. Run the pipeline\n\nWait for the pipeline to validate the components and connections. If everything is OK, you can now run the pipeline. `Pipeline.run()` can be called in two ways, either passing a dictionary of the component names and their inputs, or by directly passing just the inputs. When passed directly, the pipeline resolves inputs to the correct components.\n\n```python\n## Here's one way of calling the run() method\nresults = pipeline.run({\"component1\": {\"input1_value\": value1, \"input2_value\": value2}})\n\n## The inputs can also be passed directly without specifying component names\nresults = pipeline.run({\"input1_value\": value1, \"input2_value\": value2})\n\n## This is how you'd run the semantic document search pipeline we're using as an example:\nquery = \"Here comes the query text\"\nresults = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n```\n\n## Pipeline Inputs\n\nIf you need to understand what component inputs are expected to run your pipeline, Haystack features a useful pipeline function `.inputs()` that lists all the required inputs for the components.\n\nThis is how it works:\n\n```python\n## A short pipeline example that converts webpages into documents\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\nconverter = HTMLToDocument()\nwriter = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(instance=fetcher, name=\"fetcher\")\npipeline.add_component(instance=converter, name=\"converter\")\npipeline.add_component(instance=writer, name=\"writer\")\n\npipeline.connect(\"fetcher.streams\", \"converter.sources\")\npipeline.connect(\"converter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\n## Requesting a list of required inputs\npipeline.inputs()\n\n## {'fetcher': {'urls': {'type': typing.List[str], 'is_mandatory': True}},\n## 'converter': {'meta': {'type': typing.Union[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any], typing.List[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]], NoneType],\n## 'is_mandatory': False,\n## 'default_value': None},\n## 'extraction_kwargs': {'type': typing.Optional[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]],\n## 'is_mandatory': False,\n## 'default_value': None}},\n## 'writer': {'policy': {'type': typing.Optional[haystack.document_stores.types.policy.DuplicatePolicy],\n## 'is_mandatory': False,\n## 'default_value': None}}}\n```\n\nFrom the above response, you can see that the `urls` input is mandatory for `LinkContentFetcher`. This is how you would then run this pipeline:\n\n```python\npipeline.run(\n data={\"fetcher\": {\"urls\": [\"https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/pipelines\"]}},\n)\n```\n\n## Example\n\nThe following example walks you through creating a RAG pipeline.\n\n```python\n# import necessary dependencies\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# create a document store and write documents to it\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"My name is Jean and I live in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Mark and I live in Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Giorgio and I live in Rome.\"),\n ],\n)\n\n# A prompt corresponds to an NLP task and contains instructions for the model. Here, the pipeline will go through each Document to figure out the answer.\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n Question:\n \"\"\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"{{question}}\"),\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"Answer:\"),\n]\n\n# create the components adding the necessary parameters\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=prompt_template, required_variables=\"*\")\nllm = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"),\n model=\"gpt-4o-mini\",\n)\n\n# Create the pipeline and add the components to it. The order doesn't matter.\n# At this stage, the Pipeline validates the components without running them yet.\nrag_pipeline = Pipeline()\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\"retriever\", retriever)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\n\n# Arrange pipeline components in the order you need them. If a component has more than one inputs or outputs, indicate which input you want to connect to which output using the format (\"component_name.output_name\", \"component_name, input_name\").\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\n# Run the pipeline by specifying the first component in the pipeline and passing its mandatory inputs. Optionally, you can pass inputs to other components.\nquestion = \"Who lives in paris?\"\nresults = rag_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": question},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"question\": question},\n },\n)\n\nprint(results[\"llm\"][\"replies\"])\n```\n\nHere's what a [visualized Mermaid graph](visualizing-pipelines.mdx) of this pipeline would look like:\n\n

A `Breakpoint` allows you to pause the execution at specific components, inspect the pipeline state, and resume execution from saved snapshots. This feature works for any regular component as well as an `Agent` component.\n\nYou can set a `Breakpoint` on any component in a pipeline with a specific visit count. When triggered, the system stops the execution of the `Pipeline` and captures a snapshot of the current pipeline state. The state can be saved to a JSON file when snapshot file saving is enabled, see [Snapshot file saving](#snapshot-file-saving) below. You can inspect and modify the snapshot and use it to resume execution from the exact point where it stopped.\n\nYou can also set breakpoints on an Agent, specifically on the `ChatGenerator` component or on any of the `Tool` specified in the `ToolInvoker` component .\n\n## Setting a `Breakpoint` on a Regular Component\n\nCreate a `Breakpoint` by specifying the component name and the visit count at which to trigger it. This is useful for pipelines with loops. The default `visit_count` value is 0.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.breakpoints import Breakpoint\nfrom haystack.core.errors import BreakpointException\n\n## Create a breakpoint that triggers on the first visit to the \"llm\" component\nbreak_point = Breakpoint(\n component_name=\"llm\",\n visit_count=0, # 0 = first visit, 1 = second visit, etc.\n snapshot_file_path=\"/path/to/snapshots\", # Optional: save snapshot to file\n)\n\n## Run pipeline with breakpoint\ntry:\n result = pipeline.run(data=input_data, break_point=break_point)\nexcept BreakpointException as e:\n print(f\"Breakpoint triggered at component: {e.component}\")\n print(f\"Component inputs: {e.inputs}\")\n print(f\"Pipeline results so far: {e.results}\")\n```\n\nA `BreakpointException` is raised containing the component inputs and the outputs of the pipeline up until the moment where the execution was interrupted, such as just before the execution of component associated with the breakpoint – the `llm` in the example above.\n\nIf a `snapshot_file_path` is specified in the `Breakpoint` and snapshot file saving is enabled, the system saves a JSON snapshot with the same information as in the `BreakpointException`. Snapshot file saving to disk is disabled by default; see [Snapshot file saving](#snapshot-file-saving) below.\n\nTo access the pipeline state during the breakpoint we can both catch the exception raised by the breakpoint as well as specify where the JSON file should be saved, note that file saving is enabled must be enabled.\n\n## Using a custom snapshot callback\n\nYou can pass a `snapshot_callback` to `Pipeline.run()` or `Agent.run()` to handle snapshots yourself instead of saving to a file. When a breakpoint is triggered or a snapshot is created on error, the callback is invoked with the `PipelineSnapshot` object. This is useful for saving snapshots to a database, sending them to a remote service, or custom logging.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.core.errors import BreakpointException\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.breakpoints import Breakpoint, PipelineSnapshot\n\n\ndef my_snapshot_callback(snapshot: PipelineSnapshot) -> None:\n # Custom handling: e.g. save to DB, send to API, or log\n print(f\"Snapshot at component: {snapshot.break_point}\")\n\n\nbreak_point = Breakpoint(component_name=\"llm\", visit_count=0)\ntry:\n result = pipeline.run(\n data=input_data,\n break_point=break_point,\n snapshot_callback=my_snapshot_callback,\n )\nexcept BreakpointException as e:\n print(f\"Breakpoint triggered: {e.component}\")\n```\n\nWhen `snapshot_callback` is provided, file-saving is skipped and the callback is responsible for handling the snapshot. The same parameter is available on `Agent.run()` for agent breakpoints.\n\n## Snapshot file saving\n\nSnapshot file saving to disk is **disabled by default**. To save snapshots as JSON files when a breakpoint is triggered or on pipeline failure, set the environment variable `HAYSTACK_PIPELINE_SNAPSHOT_SAVE_ENABLED` to `\"true\"` or `\"1\"` (case-insensitive). When enabled, snapshots are written to the path given by `snapshot_file_path` on the breakpoint, or to the default directory in [Error Recovery with Snapshots](#error-recovery-with-snapshots) when a run fails.\n\nCustom `snapshot_callback` functions are always invoked when provided, regardless of this setting.\n\n```python\nimport os\n\n# Enable saving snapshot files to disk\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_PIPELINE_SNAPSHOT_SAVE_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nbreak_point = Breakpoint(\n component_name=\"llm\",\n visit_count=0,\n snapshot_file_path=\"/path/to/snapshots\",\n)\n# When the breakpoint triggers, a JSON file will be written to /path/to/snapshots/\n```\n\n## Resuming a Pipeline Execution from a Breakpoint\n\nTo resume the execution of a pipeline from the breakpoint, pass the path to the generated JSON file at the run time of the pipeline, using the `pipeline_snapshot`.\n\nUse the `load_pipeline_snapshot()` to first load the JSON and then pass it to the pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.core.pipeline.breakpoint import load_pipeline_snapshot\n\n## Load the snapshot\nsnapshot = load_pipeline_snapshot(\"llm_2025_05_03_11_23_23.json\")\n\n## Resume execution from the snapshot\nresult = pipeline.run(data={}, pipeline_snapshot=snapshot)\nprint(result[\"llm\"][\"replies\"])\n```\n\n## Setting a Breakpoint on an Agent\n\nYou can also set breakpoints in an Agent component. An Agent supports two types of breakpoints:\n\n1. **Chat Generator Breakpoint**: Pauses before LLM calls.\n2. **Tool Invoker Breakpoint**: Pauses before any tool execution.\n\nA `ChatGenerator` breakpoint is defined as shown below. You need to define a `Breakpoint` as for a pipeline breakpoint and then an `AgentBreakpoint` where you pass the breakpoint defined before and the name of Agent component.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.breakpoints import AgentBreakpoint, Breakpoint, ToolBreakpoint\n\n## Break at chat generator (LLM calls)\nchat_bp = Breakpoint(component_name=\"chat_generator\", visit_count=0)\nagent_breakpoint = AgentBreakpoint(break_point=chat_bp, agent_name=\"my_agent\")\n```\n\nTo set a breakpoint on a Tool in an Agent, do the following:\n\nFirst, define a `ToolBreakpoint` specifying the `ToolInvoker` component whose name is `tool_invoker` and then the tool associated with the breakpoint, in this case – a `weather_tool` .\n\nThen, define an `AgentBreakpoint` passing the `ToolBreakpoint` defined before as the breakpoint.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.breakpoints import AgentBreakpoint, Breakpoint, ToolBreakpoint\n\n## Break at tool invoker (tool calls)\ntool_bp = ToolBreakpoint(\n component_name=\"tool_invoker\",\n visit_count=0,\n tool_name=\"weather_tool\", # Specific tool, or None for any tool\n)\nagent_breakpoint = AgentBreakpoint(break_point=tool_bp, agent_name=\"my_agent\")\n```\n\n### Resuming Agent Execution\n\nWhen an Agent breakpoint is triggered, you can resume execution using the saved snapshot. Similar to the regular component in a pipeline, pass the JSON file with the snapshot to the `run()` method of the pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.core.pipeline.breakpoint import load_pipeline_snapshot\n\n## Load the snapshot\nsnapshot_file = \"./agent_debug/agent_chat_generator_2025_07_11_23_23.json\"\nsnapshot = load_pipeline_snapshot(snapshot_file)\n\n## Resume pipeline execution\nresult = pipeline.run(data={}, pipeline_snapshot=snapshot)\nprint(\"Pipeline resumed successfully\")\nprint(f\"Final result: {result}\")\n```\n\n## Error Recovery with Snapshots\n\nPipelines automatically create a snapshot of the last valid state if a run fails. The snapshot contains inputs, visit counts, and intermediate outputs up to the failure. You can inspect it, fix the issue, and resume execution from that checkpoint instead of restarting the whole run.\n\n### Access the Snapshot on Failure\n\nWrap `pipeline.run()` in a `try`/`except` block and retrieve the snapshot from the raised `PipelineRuntimeError`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.core.errors import PipelineRuntimeError\n\ntry:\n pipeline.run(data=input_data)\nexcept PipelineRuntimeError as e:\n snapshot = e.pipeline_snapshot\n if snapshot is not None:\n intermediate_outputs = snapshot.pipeline_state.pipeline_outputs\n # Inspect intermediate_outputs to diagnose the failure\n```\n\nWhen snapshot file saving is enabled (see [Snapshot file saving](#snapshot-file-saving)), Haystack also saves the same snapshot as a JSON file on disk.\nThe directory is chosen automatically in this order:\n\n- `~/.haystack/pipeline_snapshot`\n- `/tmp/haystack/pipeline_snapshot`\n- `./.haystack/pipeline_snapshot`\n\nFilenames will have the following pattern: `{component_name}_{visit_nr}_{YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS}.json`.\n\n### Resume from a Snapshot\n\nYou can resume directly from the in-memory snapshot or load it from disk.\n\nResume from memory:\n\n```python\nresult = pipeline.run(data={}, pipeline_snapshot=snapshot)\n```\n\nResume from disk:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.core.pipeline.breakpoint import load_pipeline_snapshot\n\nsnapshot = load_pipeline_snapshot(\n \"/path/to/.haystack/pipeline_snapshot/reader_0_2025_09_20_12_33_10.json\",\n)\nresult = pipeline.run(data={}, pipeline_snapshot=snapshot)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/pipelines/pipeline-loops.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Pipeline Loops\"\nid: pipeline-loops\nslug: \"/pipeline-loops\"\ndescription: \"Understand how loops work in Haystack pipelines, how they terminate, and how to use them safely for feedback and self-correction.\"\n---\n\n# Pipeline Loops\n\nLearn how loops work in Haystack pipelines, how they terminate, and how to use them for feedback and self-correction.\n\nHaystack pipelines support **loops**: cycles in the component graph where the output of a later component is fed back into an earlier one.\nThis enables feedback flows such as self-correction, validation, or iterative refinement, as well as more advanced [agentic behavior](../pipelines.mdx#agentic-pipelines).\n\nAt runtime, the pipeline re-runs a component whenever all of its required inputs are ready again.\nYou control when loops stop either by designing your graph and routing logic carefully or by using built-in [safety limits](#loop-termination-and-safety-limits).\n\n## Multiple Runs of the Same Component\n\nIf a component participates in a loop, it can be run multiple times within a single `Pipeline.run()` call.\nThe pipeline keeps an internal visit counter for each component:\n\n- Each time the component runs, its visit count increases by 1.\n- You can use this visit count in debugging tools like [breakpoints](./pipeline-breakpoints.mdx) to inspect specific iterations of a loop.\n\nIn the final pipeline result:\n\n- For each component that ran, the pipeline returns **only the last-produced output**.\n- To capture outputs from intermediate components (for example, a validator or a router) in the final result dictionary, use the `include_outputs_from` argument of `Pipeline.run()`.\n\n## Loop Termination and Safety Limits\n\nLoops must eventually stop so that a pipeline run can complete.\nThere are two main ways a loop ends:\n\n1. **Natural completion**: No more components are runnable \n The pipeline finishes when the work queue is empty and no component can run again (for example, the router stops feeding inputs back into the loop).\n\n2. **Reaching the maximum run count** \n Every pipeline has a per-component run limit, controlled by the `max_runs_per_component` parameter of the `Pipeline` (or `AsyncPipeline`) constructor, which is `100` by default. If any component exceeds this limit, Haystack raises a `PipelineMaxComponentRuns` error.\n\n You can set this limit to a lower value:\n\n ```python\n from haystack import Pipeline\n\n pipe = Pipeline(max_runs_per_component=5)\n ```\n\n The limit is checked before each execution, so a component with a limit of 3 will complete 3 runs successfully before the error is raised on the 4th attempt.\n\n This safeguard is especially important when experimenting with new loops or complex routing logic.\n If your loop condition is wrong or never satisfied, the error prevents the pipeline from running indefinitely.\n\n## Example: Feedback Loop for Self-Correction\n\nThe following example shows a simple feedback loop where:\n\n- A `ChatPromptBuilder` creates a prompt that includes previous incorrect replies.\n- An `OpenAIChatGenerator` produces an answer.\n- A `ConditionalRouter` checks if the answer is correct:\n - If correct, it sends the answer to `final_answer` and the loop ends.\n - If incorrect, it sends the answer back to the `ChatPromptBuilder`, which triggers another iteration.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Answer the following question concisely with just the answer, no punctuation.\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"{% if previous_replies %}\"\n \"Previously you replied incorrectly: {{ previous_replies[0].text }}\\n\"\n \"{% endif %}\"\n \"Question: {{ query }}\",\n ),\n]\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template, required_variables=[\"query\"])\ngenerator = OpenAIChatGenerator()\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(\n routes=[\n {\n # End the loop when the answer is correct\n \"condition\": \"{{ 'Rome' in replies[0].text }}\",\n \"output\": \"{{ replies }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"final_answer\",\n \"output_type\": list[ChatMessage],\n },\n {\n # Loop back when the answer is incorrect\n \"condition\": \"{{ 'Rome' not in replies[0].text }}\",\n \"output\": \"{{ replies }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"previous_replies\",\n \"output_type\": list[ChatMessage],\n },\n ],\n unsafe=True, # Required to handle ChatMessage objects\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline(max_runs_per_component=3)\n\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"generator\", generator)\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"generator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"router.replies\")\npipe.connect(\"router.previous_replies\", \"prompt_builder.previous_replies\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n {\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"query\": \"What is the capital of Italy? If the statement 'Previously you replied incorrectly:' is missing \"\n \"above then answer with Milan.\",\n },\n },\n include_outputs_from={\"router\", \"prompt_builder\"},\n)\n\nprint(result[\"prompt_builder\"][\"prompt\"][1].text) # Shows the last prompt used\nprint(result[\"router\"][\"final_answer\"][0].text) # Rome\n```\n\n### What Happens During This Loop\n\n1. **First iteration**\n - `prompt_builder` runs with `query=\"What is the capital of Italy?\"` and no previous replies.\n - `generator` returns a `ChatMessage` with the LLM's answer.\n - The router evaluates its conditions and checks if `\"Rome\"` is in the reply.\n - If the answer is incorrect, `previous_replies` is fed back into `prompt_builder.previous_replies`.\n\n2. **Subsequent iterations** (if needed)\n - `prompt_builder` runs again, now including the previous incorrect reply in the user message.\n - `generator` produces a new answer with the additional context.\n - The router checks again whether the answer contains `\"Rome\"`.\n\n3. **Termination**\n - When the router routes to `final_answer`, no more inputs are fed back into the loop.\n - The queue empties and the pipeline run finishes successfully.\n\nBecause we used `max_runs_per_component=3`, any unexpected behavior that causes the loop to continue would raise a `PipelineMaxComponentRuns` error instead of looping forever.\n\n## Components for Building Loops\n\nTwo components are particularly useful for building loops:\n\n- **[`ConditionalRouter`](../../pipeline-components/routers/conditionalrouter.mdx)**: Routes data to different outputs based on conditions. Use it to decide whether to exit the loop or continue iterating. The example above uses this pattern.\n\n- **[`BranchJoiner`](../../pipeline-components/joiners/branchjoiner.mdx)**: Merges inputs from multiple sources into a single output. Use it when a component inside the loop needs to receive both the initial input (on the first iteration) and looped-back values (on subsequent iterations). For example, you might use `BranchJoiner` to feed both user input and validation errors into the same Generator. See the [BranchJoiner documentation](../../pipeline-components/joiners/branchjoiner.mdx#enabling-loops) for a complete loop example.\n\n## Greedy vs. Lazy Variadic Sockets in Loops\n\nSome components support variadic inputs that can receive multiple values on a single socket.\nIn loops, variadic behavior controls how inputs are consumed across iterations.\n\n- **Greedy variadic sockets** \n Consume exactly one value at a time and remove it after the component runs.\n This includes user-provided inputs, which prevents them from retriggering the component indefinitely.\n Most variadic sockets are greedy by default.\n\n- **Lazy variadic sockets** \n Accumulate all values received from predecessors across iterations.\n Useful when you need to collect multiple partial results over time (for example, gathering outputs from several loop iterations before proceeding).\n\nFor most loop scenarios it's sufficient to just connect components as usual and use `max_runs_per_component` to protect against mistakes.\n\n## Troubleshooting Loops\n\nIf your pipeline seems stuck or runs longer than expected, here are common causes and how to debug them.\n\n### Common Causes of Infinite Loops\n\n1. **Condition never satisfied**: Your exit condition (for example, `\"Rome\" in reply`) might never be true due to LLM behavior or data issues. Always set a reasonable `max_runs_per_component` as a safety net.\n\n2. **Relying on optional outputs**: When a component has multiple output sockets but only returns some of them, the unreturned outputs don't trigger their downstream connections. This can cause confusion in loops.\n\n For example, this pattern can be problematic:\n\n ```python\n @component\n class Validator:\n @component.output_types(valid=str, invalid=Optional[str])\n def run(self, text: str):\n if is_valid(text):\n return {\"valid\": text} # \"invalid\" is never returned\n else:\n return {\"invalid\": text}\n ```\n\n If you connect `invalid` back to an upstream component for retry, but also have other connections that keep the loop alive, you might get unexpected behavior.\n\n Instead, use a `ConditionalRouter` with explicit, mutually exclusive conditions:\n\n ```python\n router = ConditionalRouter(\n routes=[\n {\"condition\": \"{{ is_valid }}\", \"output\": \"{{ text }}\", \"output_name\": \"valid\", ...},\n {\"condition\": \"{{ not is_valid }}\", \"output\": \"{{ text }}\", \"output_name\": \"invalid\", ...},\n ]\n )\n ```\n\n3. **User inputs retriggering the loop**: If a user-provided input is connected to a socket inside the loop, it might cause the loop to restart unexpectedly.\n\n ```python\n # Problematic: user input goes directly to a component inside the loop\n result = pipe.run({\n \"generator\": {\"prompt\": query}, # This input persists and may retrigger the loop\n })\n\n # Better: use an entry-point component outside the loop\n result = pipe.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": query}, # Entry point feeds into the loop once\n })\n ```\n\n See [Greedy vs. Lazy Variadic Sockets](#greedy-vs-lazy-variadic-sockets-in-loops) for details on how inputs are consumed.\n\n4. **Multiple paths feeding the same component**: If a component inside the loop receives inputs from multiple sources, it runs whenever *any* path provides input.\n\n ```python\n # Component receives from two sources – runs when either provides input\n pipe.connect(\"source_a.output\", \"processor.input\")\n pipe.connect(\"source_b.output\", \"processor.input\") # Variadic input\n ```\n\n Ensure you understand when each path produces output, or use `BranchJoiner` to explicitly control the merge point.\n\n### Debugging Tips\n\n1. **Start with a low limit**: When developing loops, set `max_runs_per_component=3` or similar. This helps you catch issues early with a clear error instead of waiting for a timeout.\n\n2. **Use `include_outputs_from`**: Add intermediate components (like your router) to see what's happening at each step:\n ```python\n result = pipe.run(data, include_outputs_from={\"router\", \"validator\"})\n ```\n\n3. **Enable tracing**: Use tracing to see every component execution, including inputs and outputs. This makes it easy to follow each iteration of the loop. For quick debugging, use `LoggingTracer` ([setup instructions](./debugging-pipelines.mdx#real-time-pipeline-logging)). For deeper analysis, integrate with tools like Langfuse or other [tracing backends](../../development/tracing.mdx).\n\n4. **Visualize the pipeline**: Use `pipe.draw()` or `pipe.show()` to see the graph structure and verify your connections are correct. See the [Pipeline Visualization](./visualizing-pipelines.mdx) documentation for details.\n\n5. **Use breakpoints**: Set a `Breakpoint` on a specific component and visit count to inspect the state at that iteration. See [Pipeline Breakpoints](./pipeline-breakpoints.mdx) for details.\n\n6. **Check for blocked pipelines**: If you see a `PipelineComponentsBlockedError`, it means no components can run. This typically indicates a missing connection or a circular dependency. Check that all required inputs are provided.\n\nBy combining careful graph design, per-component run limits, and these debugging tools, you can build robust feedback loops in your Haystack pipelines.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/pipelines/serialization.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Serializing Pipelines\"\nid: serialization\nslug: \"/serialization\"\ndescription: \"Save your pipelines into a custom format and explore the serialization options.\"\n---\n\n# Serializing Pipelines\n\nSave your pipelines into a custom format and explore the serialization options.\n\nSerialization means converting a pipeline to a format that you can save on your disk and load later.\n\nHaystack supports YAML format for pipeline serialization.\n\n## Converting a Pipeline to YAML\n\nUse the `dumps()` method to convert a Pipeline object to YAML:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\n\npipe = Pipeline()\nprint(pipe.dumps())\n\n## Prints:\n##\n## components: {}\n## connections: []\n## max_runs_per_component: 100\n## metadata: {}\n```\n\nYou can also use `dump()` method to save the YAML representation of a pipeline in a file:\n\n```python\nwith open(\"/content/test.yml\", \"w\") as file:\n pipe.dump(file)\n```\n\n## Converting a Pipeline Back to Python\n\nYou can convert a YAML pipeline back into Python. Use the `loads()` method to convert a string representation of a pipeline (`str`, `bytes` or `bytearray`) or the `load()` method to convert a pipeline represented in a file-like object into a corresponding Python object.\n\nBoth loading methods support callbacks that let you modify components during the deserialization process.\n\nHere is an example script:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.core.serialization import DeserializationCallbacks\nfrom typing import Type, Dict, Any\n\n## This is the YAML you want to convert to Python:\npipeline_yaml = \"\"\"\ncomponents:\n cleaner:\n init_parameters:\n remove_empty_lines: true\n remove_extra_whitespaces: true\n remove_regex: null\n remove_repeated_substrings: false\n remove_substrings: null\n type: haystack.components.preprocessors.document_cleaner.DocumentCleaner\n converter:\n init_parameters:\n encoding: utf-8\n type: haystack.components.converters.txt.TextFileToDocument\nconnections:\n- receiver: cleaner.documents\n sender: converter.documents\nmax_runs_per_component: 100\nmetadata: {}\n\"\"\"\n\n\ndef component_pre_init_callback(\n component_name: str,\n component_cls: Type,\n init_params: Dict[str, Any],\n):\n # This function gets called every time a component is deserialized.\n if component_name == \"cleaner\":\n assert \"DocumentCleaner\" in component_cls.__name__\n # Modify the init parameters. The modified parameters are passed to\n # the init method of the component during deserialization.\n init_params[\"remove_empty_lines\"] = False\n print(\"Modified 'remove_empty_lines' to False in 'cleaner' component\")\n else:\n print(f\"Not modifying component {component_name} of class {component_cls}\")\n\n\npipe = Pipeline.loads(\n pipeline_yaml,\n callbacks=DeserializationCallbacks(component_pre_init_callback),\n)\n```\n\n## Default Serialization Behavior\n\nThe serialization system uses `default_to_dict` and `default_from_dict` to handle many object types automatically. You typically do **not** need to implement custom `to_dict`/`from_dict` for:\n\n- **Secrets**: serialized and deserialized automatically so that sensitive values aren't stored in plain text.\n- **ComponentDevice**: device configuration is detected and restored automatically.\n- **Objects with their own `to_dict`/`from_dict`**: any init parameter whose type defines `to_dict()` is serialized by calling it; any dict in `init_parameters` with a `type` key pointing to a class with `from_dict()` is deserialized automatically.\n\nTo serialize or deserialize a single component, you can use `component_to_dict` and `component_from_dict` from `haystack.core.serialization`. They use the default behavior above as a fallback when the component doesn't define custom `to_dict`/`from_dict`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component\nfrom haystack.core.serialization import component_from_dict, component_to_dict\n\n\n@component\nclass Greeter:\n def __init__(self, message: str = \"Hello\"):\n self.message = message\n\n @component.output_types(greeting=str)\n def run(self, name: str):\n return {\"greeting\": f\"{self.message}, {name}!\"}\n\n\n# Serialize a component instance to a dictionary\ngreeter = Greeter(message=\"Hi\")\ndata = component_to_dict(greeter, \"my_greeter\")\n\n# Deserialize back to a component instance\nrestored = component_from_dict(Greeter, data, \"my_greeter\")\nassert restored.message == greeter.message\n```\n\n:::caution Init parameters must be stored as instance attributes\n\nDefault serialization only works when there is a **1:1 mapping** between init parameter names and instance attributes. For every argument in `__init__`, the component must assign it to an attribute with the same name. For example, if you have `def __init__(self, prompt: str)`, you must have `self.prompt = prompt` in the class. Otherwise the serialization logic can't find the value to serialize and raises an error or uses the default value if the parameter has one.\n:::\n\n## Performing Custom Serialization\n\nPipelines and components in Haystack can serialize simple components, including custom ones, out of the box. Code like this just works:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component\n\n\n@component\nclass RepeatWordComponent:\n def __init__(self, times: int):\n self.times = times\n\n @component.output_types(result=str)\n def run(self, word: str):\n return word * self.times\n```\n\nOn the other hand, this code doesn't work if the final format is JSON, as the `set` type is not JSON-serializable:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component\n\n\n@component\nclass SetIntersector:\n def __init__(self, intersect_with: set):\n self.intersect_with = intersect_with\n\n @component.output_types(result=set)\n def run(self, data: set):\n return data.intersection(self.intersect_with)\n```\n\nIn such cases, you can provide your own implementation `from_dict` and `to_dict` to components:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, default_from_dict, default_to_dict\n\n\nclass SetIntersector:\n def __init__(self, intersect_with: set):\n self.intersect_with = intersect_with\n\n @component.output_types(result=set)\n def run(self, data: set):\n return data.intersect(self.intersect_with)\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return default_to_dict(self, intersect_with=list(self.intersect_with))\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n # convert the set into a list for the dict representation,\n # so it can be converted to JSON\n data[\"intersect_with\"] = set(data[\"intersect_with\"])\n return default_from_dict(cls, data)\n```\n\n## Saving a Pipeline to a Custom Format\n\nOnce a pipeline is available in its dictionary format, the last step of serialization is to convert that dictionary into a format you can store or send over the wire. Haystack supports YAML out of the box, but if you need a different format, you can write a custom Marshaller.\n\nA `Marshaller` is a Python class responsible for converting text to a dictionary and a dictionary to text according to a certain format. Marshallers must respect the `Marshaller` [protocol](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/marshal/protocol.py), providing the methods `marshal` and `unmarshal`.\n\nThis is the code for a custom TOML marshaller that relies on the `rtoml` library:\n\n```python\n## This code requires a `pip install rtoml`\nfrom typing import Dict, Any, Union\nimport rtoml\n\n\nclass TomlMarshaller:\n def marshal(self, dict_: Dict[str, Any]) -> str:\n return rtoml.dumps(dict_)\n\n def unmarshal(self, data_: Union[str, bytes]) -> Dict[str, Any]:\n return dict(rtoml.loads(data_))\n```\n\nYou can then pass a Marshaller instance to the methods `dump`, `dumps`, `load`, and `loads`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom my_custom_marshallers import TomlMarshaller\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.dumps(TomlMarshaller())\n## prints:\n## 'max_runs_per_component = 100\\nconnections = []\\n\\n[metadata]\\n\\n[components]\\n'\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Serializing LLM Pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/29_serializing_pipelines)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/pipelines/smart-pipeline-connections.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Smart Pipeline Connections\"\nid: smart-pipeline-connections\nslug: \"/smart-pipeline-connections\"\ndescription: \"Learn how Haystack pipelines simplify connections through implicit joining and flexible type adaptation, reducing the need for glue components.\"\n---\n\n# Smart Pipeline Connections\n\nHaystack pipelines support smarter connection semantics that reduce boilerplate and make pipeline definitions easier to read and maintain.\nThese features focus on simplifying how components are connected, without changing component behavior.\n\nSmart connections help eliminate common glue components such as `Joiners` and `OutputAdapters` in many pipelines.\n\n## Implicit List Joining\n\nPipelines natively support connecting multiple component outputs directly to a single component input, without requiring an explicit `Joiner` component.\n\nThis works when:\n\n* The target input is typed as `list`, `list | None`, or a union of list types (e.g. `list[int] | list[str]`).\n* All connected outputs are compatible list types.\n\nWhen multiple outputs are connected to the same input, the pipeline implicitly concatenates the lists from the outputs into a single list for the input.\n\n### Example\n\nMultiple converters can write directly into a single `DocumentWriter` without using a `DocumentJoiner`:\n\n
\n\nExpand to see the pipeline graph\n\n\n
\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument, TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nsources = [\n ByteStream.from_string(text=\"Text file content\", mime_type=\"text/plain\"),\n ByteStream.from_string(\n text=\"Some content\",\n mime_type=\"text/html\",\n ),\n]\n\ndoc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"text/html\"]))\npipe.add_component(\"txt_converter\", TextFileToDocument())\npipe.add_component(\"html_converter\", HTMLToDocument())\npipe.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(doc_store))\npipe.connect(\"router.text/plain\", \"txt_converter.sources\")\npipe.connect(\"router.text/html\", \"html_converter.sources\")\npipe.connect(\"txt_converter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\npipe.connect(\"html_converter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"sources\": sources}})\n```\n\nThis pattern is especially useful when routing files, documents, or results across multiple parallel branches.\n\n## Flexible Type Connections\n\nTo further streamline pipeline definitions, Haystack pipelines support limited implicit type adaptation at connection time.\nThis makes pipeline connections more flexible and reduces the need for `OutputAdapter` components.\n\n**Supported adaptations**\n\n| Source Type | Target Type | Behavior |\n|--------------------------|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `str` | `ChatMessage` | Wrapped into a `ChatMessage` with user role. |\n| `ChatMessage` | `str` | Extracts `ChatMessage.text`; raises `PipelineRuntimeError` if `None`. |\n| `T` | `list[T]` | Wraps the item into a single-element list. |\n| `list[str] or list[ChatMessage]`| `str` or `ChatMessage` | Extracts the first item; raises `PipelineRuntimeError` if the list is empty. |\n\n\nAll adaptations are checked at connection time to ensure type safety, but applied at runtime during pipeline execution.\n\nWhen multiple connections are possible, strict type matching is prioritized over implicit conversion.\nThis preserves backward compatibility with earlier versions of Haystack, where flexible type connections were not supported.\n\n### Example\n\nPipeline connecting the Chat Generator `messages` output (`list[ChatMessage]`) to the retriever `query` input (`str`)\nwithout using an `OutputAdapter`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Bob lives in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"Alice lives in London.\"),\n Document(content=\"Ivy lives in Melbourne.\"),\n Document(content=\"Kate lives in Brisbane.\"),\n Document(content=\"Liam lives in Adelaide.\"),\n]\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents)\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"{% message role=\"user\" %}\nRewrite the following query to be used for keyword search.\n{{ query }}\n{% endmessage %}\n\"\"\"\n\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder(template=template))\np.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4.1-mini\"))\np.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=3),\n)\n\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n# implicitly converts list[ChatMessage] -> str\np.connect(\"llm\", \"retriever\")\n\nquery = \"\"\"Someday I'd love to visit Brisbane, but for now I just want\nto know the names of the people who live there.\"\"\"\n\nresult = p.run(data={\"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": query}})\n```\n\n## When You Still Need `Joiners` or `OutputAdapters`\n\nExplicit `Joiners` or `OutputAdapters` are still useful when you need:\n\n- Custom aggregation logic beyond simple list concatenation\n- Type conversions not covered by implicit adaptation\n- Explicit control over formatting or ordering\n\nSmart connections reduce the need for glue components, but they do not remove them entirely.\nWhen in doubt, explicit components provide clarity and more control.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/pipelines/visualizing-pipelines.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Visualizing Haystack Pipelines\"\nid: visualizing-pipelines\nslug: \"/visualizing-pipelines\"\ndescription: \"You can visualize your Haystack AI pipelines as graphs to better understand how the components are connected.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Visualizing Haystack Pipelines\n\nYou can visualize your pipelines as graphs to better understand how the components are connected.\n\nHaystack pipelines have `draw()` and `show()` methods that enable you to visualize the pipeline as a graph using Mermaid graphs.\n\n:::note Data Privacy Notice\n\nExercise caution with sensitive data when using pipeline visualization.\n\nThis feature is based on Mermaid graphs web service that doesn't have clear terms of data retention or privacy policy.\n:::\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo use Mermaid graphs, you must have an internet connection to reach the Mermaid graph renderer at https://mermaid.ink.\n\n## Displaying a Graph\n\nUse the pipeline's `show()` method to display the diagram in Jupyter notebooks.\n\n```python\nmy_pipeline.show()\n```\n\n## Saving a Graph\n\nUse the pipeline's `draw()` method passing the path where you want to save the diagram and the diagram format.

The Haystack pipeline is built for this purpose and enables you to design and scale your interactions with LLMs.\n\nThe pipelines in Haystack are directed multigraphs of different Haystack components and integrations. They give you the freedom to connect these components in various ways. This means that the pipeline doesn't need to be a continuous stream of information. With the flexibility of Haystack pipelines, you can have simultaneous flows, standalone components, loops, and other types of connections.\n\n## Flexibility\n\nHaystack pipelines are much more than just query and indexing pipelines. What a pipeline does, whether that be indexing, querying, fetching from an API, preprocessing or more, completely depends on how you design your pipeline and what components you use. While you can still create single-function pipelines, like indexing pipelines using ready-made components to clean up, split, and write the documents into a Document Store, or query pipelines that just take a query and return an answer, Haystack allows you to combine multiple use cases into one pipeline with decision components (like the `ConditionalRouter`) as well.\n\n### Agentic Pipelines\n\nHaystack loops and branches enable the creation of complex applications like agents. Here are a few examples on how to create them:\n\n- [Tutorial: Building a Chat Agent with Function Calling](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/40_building_chat_application_with_function_calling)\n- [Tutorial: Building an Agentic RAG with Fallback to Websearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/36_building_fallbacks_with_conditional_routing)\n- [Tutorial: Generating Structured Output with Loop-Based Auto-Correction](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/28_structured_output_with_loop)\n- [Cookbook: Define & Run Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/tools_support)\n- [Cookbook: Conversational RAG using Memory](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/conversational_rag_using_memory)\n- [Cookbook: Newsletter Sending Agent with Experimental Haystack Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/newsletter-agent)\n\n### Branching\n\nA pipeline can have multiple branches that process data concurrently. For example, to process different file types, you can have a pipeline with a bunch of converters, each handling a specific file type. You then feed all your files to the pipeline and it smartly divides and routes them to appropriate converters all at once, saving you the effort of sending your files one by one for processing.\n\n\n### Loops\n\nComponents in a pipeline can work in iterative loops, which you can cap at a desired number. This can be handy for scenarios like self-correcting loops, where you have a generator producing some output and then a validator component to check if the output is correct. If the generator's output has errors, the validator component can loop back to the generator for a corrected output. The loop goes on until the output passes the validation and can be sent further down the pipeline.\n\nSee [Pipeline Loops](pipelines/pipeline-loops.mdx) for a deeper explanation of how loops are executed, how they terminate, and how to use them safely.\n\n\n\n### Async Pipelines\n\nThe AsyncPipeline enables parallel execution of Haystack components when their dependencies allow it. This improves performance in complex pipelines with independent operations. For example, it can run multiple Retrievers or LLM calls simultaneously, execute independent pipeline branches in parallel, and efficiently handle I/O-bound operations that would otherwise cause delays. Through concurrent execution, the AsyncPipeline significantly reduces total processing time compared to sequential execution.\n\nFind out more in our [AsyncPipeline](pipelines/asyncpipeline.mdx) documentation.\n\n## SuperComponents\n\nTo simplify your code, we have introduced [SuperComponents](components/supercomponents.mdx) that allow you to wrap complete pipelines and reuse them as a single component. Check out their documentation page for the details and examples.\n\n## Data Flow\n\nWhile the data (the initial query) flows through the entire pipeline, individual values are only passed from one component to another when they are connected. Therefore, not all components have access to all the data. This approach offers the benefits of speed and ease of debugging.\n\nTo connect components and integrations in a pipeline, you must know the names of their inputs and outputs. The output of one component must be accepted as input by the following component. When you connect components in a pipeline with `Pipeline.connect()`, it validates if the input and output types match.\n\n### Smart Pipeline Connections\n\nPipelines support smarter connection semantics that simplify how components are wired together.\n\nCompatible outputs can be implicitly combined when connected to a single input.\nPipelines also perform implicit type adaptation at connection time for some selected types.\n\nThese behaviors reduce the need for glue components like `Joiners` and `OutputAdapters`, keeping pipelines concise and easier to read.\n\nSee [Smart Pipeline Connections](pipelines/smart-pipeline-connections.mdx) for details and examples.\n\n\n\n\n## Steps to Create a Pipeline Explained\n\nOnce all your components are created and ready to be combined in a pipeline, there are four steps to make it work:\n\n1. Create the pipeline with `Pipeline()`.\n This creates the Pipeline object.\n2. Add components to the pipeline, one by one, with `.add_component(name, component)`.\n This just adds components to the pipeline without connecting them yet. It's especially useful for loops as it allows the smooth connection of the components in the next step because they all already exist in the pipeline.\n3. Connect components with `.connect(\"producer_component.output_name\", \"consumer_component.input_name\")`.\n At this step, you explicitly connect one of the outputs of a component to one of the inputs of the next component. This is also when the pipeline validates the connection without running the components. It makes the validation fast.\n4. Run the pipeline with `.run({\"component_1\": {\"mandatory_inputs\": value}})`.\n Finally, you run the Pipeline by specifying the first component in the pipeline and passing its mandatory inputs. Optionally, you can pass inputs to other components, for example: `.run({\"component_1\": {\"mandatory_inputs\": value}, \"component_2\": {\"inputs\": value}})`.\n\nThe full pipeline [example](pipelines/creating-pipelines.mdx#example) in [Creating Pipelines](pipelines/creating-pipelines.mdx) shows how all the elements come together to create a working RAG pipeline.\n\nOnce you create your pipeline, you can [visualize it in a graph](pipelines/visualizing-pipelines.mdx) to understand how the components are connected and make sure that's how you want them. You can use Mermaid graphs to do that.\n\n## Validation\n\nValidation happens when you connect pipeline components with `.connect()`, but before running the components to make it faster. The pipeline validates that:\n\n- The components exist in the pipeline.\n- The components' outputs and inputs match and are explicitly indicated. For example, if a component produces two outputs, when connecting it to another component, you must indicate which output connects to which input.\n- The components' types match.\n- For input types other than `Variadic`, checks if the input is already occupied by another connection.\n\nAll of these checks produce detailed errors to help you quickly fix any issues identified.\n\n## Serialization\n\nThanks to serialization, you can save and then load your pipelines. Serialization is converting a Haystack pipeline into a format you can store on disk or send over the wire. It's particularly useful for:\n\n- Editing, storing, and sharing pipelines.\n- Modifying existing pipelines in a format different than Python.\n\nHaystack pipelines delegate the serialization to its components, so serializing a pipeline simply means serializing each component in the pipeline one after the other, along with their connections. The pipeline is serialized into a dictionary format, which acts as an intermediate format that you can then convert into the final format you want.\n\n:::info Serialization formats\n\nHaystack only supports YAML format at this time. We'll be rolling out more formats gradually.\n:::\n\nFor serialization to be possible, components must support conversion from and to Python dictionaries. All Haystack components have two methods that make them serializable: `from_dict` and `to_dict`. The `Pipeline` class, in turn, has its own `from_dict` and `to_dict` methods that take care of serializing components and connections.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/concepts/secret-management.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Secret Management\"\nid: secret-management\nslug: \"/secret-management\"\ndescription: \"This page emphasizes secret management in Haystack components and introduces the `Secret` type for structured secret handling.

It explains the drawbacks of hard-coding secrets in code and suggests using environment variables instead.\n\nMany Haystack components interact with third-party frameworks and service providers such as Azure, Google Vertex AI, and OpenAI. Their libraries often require the user to authenticate themselves to ensure they receive access to the underlying product. The authentication process usually works with a secret value that acts as an opaque identifier to the third-party backend.\n\nThis page describes the two main types of secrets: token-based and environment variable-based, and how to handle them when using Haystack.\n\nYou can find additional details for the `Secret` class in our [API reference](/reference/utils-api).\n\n
\n\nExample Use Case - Problem Statement\n\n### Problem Statement\n\nLet’s consider an example RAG pipeline that embeds a query, uses a Retriever component to locate documents relevant to the query, and then leverages an LLM to generate an answer based on the retrieved documents.\n\nThe `OpenAIGenerator` component used in the pipeline below expects an API key to authenticate with OpenAI’s servers and perform the generation. Let’s assume that the component accepts a `str` value for it:\n\n```python\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(model=\"gpt-4\", api_key=\"sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\")\npipeline.add_component(\"generator\", generator)\n```\n\nThis works in a pinch, but this is bad practice - we shouldn’t hard-code such secrets in the codebase. An alternative would be to store the key in an environment variable externally, read from it in Python, and pass that to the component:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\napi_key = os.environ.get(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(model=\"gpt-4\", api_key=api_key)\npipeline.add_component(\"generator\", generator)\n```\n\nThis is better – the pipeline works as intended, and we aren’t hard-coding any secrets in the code.\n\nRemember that pipelines are serializable. Since the API key is a secret, we should definitely avoid saving it to disk. Let’s modify the component’s `to_dict` method to exclude the key:\n\n```python\ndef to_dict(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:\n # Do not pass the `api_key` init parameter.\n return default_to_dict(self, model=self.model)\n```\n\nBut what happens when the pipeline is loaded from disk? In the best-case scenario, the component’s backend will automatically try to read the key from a hard-coded environment variable, and that key is the same as the one that was passed to the component before it was serialized. But in a worse case, the backend doesn’t look up the key in a hard-coded environment variable and fails when it gets called inside a `pipeline.run()` invocation.\n\n
\n\n### Import\n\nTo use Haystack secrets within the code, first import with:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n```\n\n### Token-Based Secrets\n\nYou can paste tokens directly as a string using the `from_token` method:\n\n```python\nllm = OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"sk-randomAPIkeyasdsa32ekasd32e\"))\n```\n\nNote that this type of code cannot be serialized, meaning you can't convert the above component to a dictionary or save a pipeline containing it to a YAML file. This is a security feature to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive data.\n\n### Environment Variable-Based Secrets\n\nEnvironment variable-based secrets are more flexible. They allow you to specify one or more environment variables that may contain your secret.\n\nExisting Haystack components that require an API Key (like OpenAIGenerator) have a default value for `Secret.from_env_var` (in this case, `OPENAI_API_KEY`). This means that the `OpenAIGenerator` will look for the value of the environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY` (if it exists) and use it for authentication. And when pipelines are serialized to YAML, only the name of the environment variable is save to the YAML file. In doing so, this method ensures that there are no security leaks and is therefore strongly recommended.\n\n```bash\n## First, export an environment variable name `OPENAI_API_KEY` with its value\nexport OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-randomAPIkeyasdsa32ekasd32e\n\n## or alternatively, using Python\n## import os\n## os.environ[”OPENAI_API_KEY”]=sk-randomAPIkeyasdsa32ekasd32e\n```\n\n```python\nllm_generator = (\n OpenAIGenerator()\n) # Uses the default value from the env var for the component\n```\n\nAlternatively, in components where a Secret is expected, you can customize the name of the environment variable from which the API Key is to be read.\n\n```python\n## Export an environment variable with custom name and its value\nllm_generator = OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"YOUR_ENV_VAR\"))\n```\n\nWhen `OpenAIGenerator` is serialized within a pipeline, this is what the YAML code will look like, using the custom variable name:\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n llm:\n init_parameters:\n api_base_url: null\n api_key:\n env_vars:\n - YOUR_ENV_VAR\n strict: true\n type: env_var\n generation_kwargs: {}\n model: gpt-4o-mini\n organization: null\n streaming_callback: null\n system_prompt: null\n type: haystack.components.generators.openai.OpenAIGenerator\n ...\n```\n\n### Serialization\n\nWhile token-based secrets cannot be serialized, environment variable-based secrets can be converted to and from dictionaries:\n\n```python\n## Convert to dictionary\nenv_secret_dict = env_secret.to_dict()\n\n## Create from dictionary\nnew_env_secret = Secret.from_dict(env_secret_dict)\n```\n\n### Resolving Secrets\n\nBoth types of secrets can be resolved to their actual values using the `resolve_value` method. This method returns the token or the value of the environment variable.\n\n```python\n## Resolve the token-based secret\ntoken_value = api_key_secret.resolve_value()\n\n## Resolve the environment variable-based secret\nenv_value = env_secret.resolve_value()\n```\n\n### Custom Component Example\n\nHere is a complete example that shows how to create a component that uses the `Secret` class in Haystack, highlighting the differences between token-based and environment variable-based authentication, and showing that token-based secrets cannot be serialized:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret, deserialize_secrets_inplace\n\n@component\nclass MyComponent:\n def __init__(self, api_key: Optional[Secret] = None, **kwargs):\n self.api_key = api_key\n self.backend = None\n\n def warm_up(self):\n # Call resolve_value to yield a single result. The semantics of the result is policy-dependent.\n # Currently, all supported policies will return a single string token.\n self.backend = SomeBackend(\n api_key=self.api_key.resolve_value() if self.api_key else None, ...\n )\n\n def to_dict(self):\n # Serialize the policy like any other (custom) data. If the policy is token-based, it will\n # raise an error.\n return default_to_dict(\n self, api_key=self.api_key.to_dict() if self.api_key else None, ...\n )\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n # Deserialize the policy data before passing it to the generic from_dict function.\n api_key_data = data[\"init_parameters\"][\"api_key\"]\n api_key = Secret.from_dict(api_key_data) if api_key_data is not None else None\n data[\"init_parameters\"][\"api_key\"] = api_key\n # Alternatively, use the helper function.\n # deserialize_secrets_inplace(data[\"init_parameters\"], keys=[\"api_key\"])\n return default_from_dict(cls, data)\n\n## No authentication.\ncomponent = MyComponent(api_key=None)\n\n## Token based authentication\ncomponent = MyComponent(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"sk-randomAPIkeyasdsa32ekasd32e\"))\ncomponent.to_dict() # Error! Can't serialize authentication tokens\n\n## Environment variable based authentication\ncomponent = MyComponent(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"))\ncomponent.to_dict() # This is fine\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/deployment/docker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Docker\"\nid: docker\nslug: \"/docker\"\ndescription: \"Learn how to deploy your Haystack pipelines through Docker starting from the basic Docker container to a complex application using Hayhooks.\"\n---\n\n# Docker\n\nLearn how to deploy your Haystack pipelines through Docker starting from the basic Docker container to a complex application using Hayhooks.\n\n## Running Haystack in Docker\n\nThe most basic form of Haystack deployment happens through Docker containers. Becoming familiar with running and customizing Haystack Docker images is useful as they form the basis for more advanced deployment.\n\nHaystack releases are officially distributed through the [`deepset/haystack`](https://hub.docker.com/r/deepset/haystack) Docker image. Haystack images come in different flavors depending on the specific components they ship and the Haystack version. \n\n:::info\nAt the moment, the only flavor available for Haystack is `base`, which ships exactly what you would get by installing Haystack locally with `pip install haystack-ai`.\n:::\n\nYou can pull a specific Haystack flavor using Docker tags: for example, to pull the image containing Haystack `2.12.1`, you can run the command:\n\n```shell\ndocker pull deepset/haystack:base-v2.12.1\n```\n\nAlthough the `base` flavor is meant to be customized, it can also be used to quickly run Haystack scripts locally without the need to set up a Python environment and its dependencies. For example, this is how you would print Haystack’s version running a Docker container:\n\n```shell\ndocker run -it --rm deepset/haystack:base-v2.12.1 python -c\"from haystack.version import __version__; print(__version__)\"\n```\n\n## Customizing the Haystack Docker Image\n\nChances are your application will be more complex than a simple script, and you’ll need to install additional dependencies inside the Docker image along with Haystack.\n\nFor example, you might want to run a simple indexing pipeline using [Chroma](../../document-stores/chromadocumentstore.mdx) as your Document Store using a Docker container. The `base` image only contains a basic install of Haystack, but you need to install the Chroma integration (`chroma-haystack`) package additionally. The best approach would be to create a custom Docker image shipping the extra dependency. \n\nAssuming you have a `main.py` script in your current folder, the Dockerfile would look like this: \n\n```shell\nFROM deepset/haystack:base-v2.12.1\n\nRUN pip install chroma-haystack\n\nCOPY ./main.py /usr/src/myapp/main.py\n\nENTRYPOINT [\"python\", \"/usr/src/myapp/main.py\"]\n```\n\nThen you can create your custom Haystack image with:\n\n```shell\ndocker build . -t my-haystack-image\n```\n\n## Complex Application with Docker Compose\n\nA Haystack application running in Docker can go pretty far: with an internet connection, the container can reach external services providing vector databases, inference endpoints, and observability features.\n\nStill, you might want to orchestrate additional services for your Haystack container locally, for example, to reduce costs or increase performance. When your application runtime depends on more than one Docker container, [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) is a great tool to keep everything together.\n\nAs an example, let’s say your application wraps two pipelines: one to _index_ documents into a Qdrant instance and the other to _query_ those documents at a later time. This setup would require two Docker containers: one to run the pipelines as REST APIs using [Hayhooks](../hayhooks.mdx) and a second to run a Qdrant instance.\n\nFor building the Hayhooks image, we can easily customize the base image of one of the latest versions of Hayhooks, adding required dependencies required by [`QdrantDocumentStore`](../../document-stores/qdrant-document-store.mdx). The Dockerfile would look like this:\n\n```dockerfile Dockerfile\nFROM deepset/hayhooks:v0.6.0\n\nRUN pip install qdrant-haystack sentence-transformers\n\nCMD [\"hayhooks\", \"run\", \"--host\", \"0.0.0.0\"]\n\n```\n\nWe wouldn’t need to customize Qdrant, so their official Docker image would work perfectly. The `docker-compose.yml` file would then look like this:\n\n```yaml\nservices:\n qdrant:\n image: qdrant/qdrant:latest\n restart: always\n container_name: qdrant\n ports:\n - 6333:6333\n - 6334:6334\n expose:\n - 6333\n - 6334\n - 6335\n configs:\n - source: qdrant_config\n target: /qdrant/config/production.yaml\n volumes:\n - ./qdrant_data:/qdrant_data\n\n hayhooks:\n build: . # Build from local Dockerfile\n container_name: hayhooks\n ports:\n - \"1416:1416\"\n volumes:\n - ./pipelines:/pipelines\n environment:\n - HAYHOOKS_PIPELINES_DIR=/pipelines\n - LOG=DEBUG\n depends_on:\n - qdrant\n\nconfigs:\n qdrant_config:\n content: |\n log_level: INFO\n```\n\nFor a functional example of a Docker Compose deployment, check out the [“Qdrant Indexing”](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-demos/tree/main/qdrant_indexing) demo from GitHub." }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/deployment/kubernetes.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Kubernetes\"\nid: kubernetes\nslug: \"/kubernetes\"\ndescription: \"Learn how to deploy your Haystack pipelines through Kubernetes.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Kubernetes\n\nLearn how to deploy your Haystack pipelines through Kubernetes.\n\nThe best way to get Haystack running as a workload in a container orchestrator like Kubernetes is to create a service to expose one or more [Hayhooks](../hayhooks.mdx) instances.\n\n## Create a Haystack Kubernetes Service using Hayhooks\n\nAs a first step, we recommend to create a local [KinD](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind) or [Minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube) Kubernetes cluster. You can manage your cluster from CLI, but tools like [k9s](https://k9scli.io/) or [Lens](https://k8slens.dev/) can ease the process.\n\nWhen done, start with a very simple Kubernetes Service running a single Hayhooks Pod:\n\n```yaml\nkind: Pod\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n name: hayhooks\n labels:\n app: haystack\nspec:\n containers:\n - image: deepset/hayhooks:v0.6.0\n name: hayhooks\n imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent\n resources:\n limits:\n memory: \"512Mi\"\n cpu: \"500m\"\n requests:\n memory: \"256Mi\"\n cpu: \"250m\"\n\n---\n\nkind: Service\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n name: haystack-service\nspec:\n selector:\n app: haystack\n type: ClusterIP\n ports:\n # Default port used by the Hayhooks Docker image\n - port: 1416\n\n```\n\nAfter applying the above to an existing Kubernetes cluster, a `hayhooks` Pod will show up as a Service called `haystack-service`.\n\n\nNote that the `Service` defined above is of type `ClusterIP`. That means it's exposed only _inside_ the Kubernetes cluster. To expose the Hayhooks API to the _outside_ world as well, you need a `NodePort` or `Ingress` resource. As an alternative, it's also possible to use [Port Forwarding](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/) to access the `Service` locally.\n\nTo do that, add port `30080` to Host-To-Node Mapping of our KinD cluster. In other words, make sure that the cluster is created with a node configuration similar to the following:\n\n```yaml\nkind: Cluster\napiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4\nnodes:\n - role: control-plane\n # ...\n extraPortMappings:\n - containerPort: 30080\n hostPort: 30080\n protocol: TCP\n```\n\nThen, create a simple `NodePort` to test if Hayhooks Pod is running correctly:\n\n```yaml\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n name: haystack-nodeport\nspec:\n selector:\n app: haystack\n type: NodePort\n ports:\n - port: 1416\n targetPort: 1416\n nodePort: 30080\n name: http\n```\n\nAfter applying this, `hayhooks` Pod will be accessible on `localhost:30080`.\n\nFrom here, you should be able to manage pipelines. Remember that it's possible to deploy multiple different pipelines on a single Hayhooks instance. Check the [Hayhooks docs](../hayhooks.mdx) for more details.\n\n## Auto-Run Pipelines at Pod Start\n\nHayhooks can load Haystack pipelines at startup, making them readily available when the server starts. You can leverage this mechanism to have your pods immediately serve one or more pipelines when they start.\n\nAt startup, it will look for deployed pipelines on the path specified at `HAYHOOKS_PIPELINES_DIR`, then load them.\n\nA [deployed pipeline](https://github.com/deepset-ai/hayhooks?tab=readme-ov-file#deploy-a-pipeline) is essentially a directory which must contain a `pipeline_wrapper.py` file and possibly other files. To preload an [example pipeline](https://github.com/deepset-ai/hayhooks/tree/main/examples/pipeline_wrappers/chat_with_website), you need to mount a local folder inside the cluster node, then make it available on Hayhooks Pod as well.\n\nFirst, ensure that a local folder is mounted correctly on the KinD cluster node at `/data`:\n\n```yaml\nkind: Cluster\napiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4\nnodes:\n - role: control-plane\n # ...\n extraMounts:\n - hostPath: /path/to/local/pipelines/folder\n containerPath: /data\n```\n\nNext, make `/data` available as a volume and mount it on Hayhooks Pod. To do that, update your previous Pod configuration to the following:\n\n```yaml\nkind: Pod\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n name: hayhooks\n labels:\n app: haystack\nspec:\n containers:\n - image: deepset/hayhooks:v0.6.0\n name: hayhooks\n imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent\n command: [\"/bin/sh\", \"-c\"]\n args:\n - |\n pip install trafilatura && \\\n hayhooks run --host 0.0.0.0\n volumeMounts:\n - name: local-data\n mountPath: /mnt/data\n env:\n - name: HAYHOOKS_PIPELINES_DIR\n value: /mnt/data\n - name: OPENAI_API_KEY\n valueFrom:\n secretKeyRef:\n name: openai-secret\n key: api-key\n resources:\n limits:\n memory: \"512Mi\"\n cpu: \"500m\"\n requests:\n memory: \"256Mi\"\n cpu: \"250m\"\n volumes:\n - name: local-data\n hostPath:\n path: /data\n type: Directory\n\n```\n\nNote that:\n\n- We changed the Hayhooks container `command` to install `trafilaura` dependency before startup, since it's needed for our [chat_with_website](https://github.com/deepset-ai/hayhooks/tree/main/examples/pipeline_wrappers/chat_with_website) example pipeline. For a real production environment, we recommend creating a custom Hayhooks image as described [here](docker.mdx#customizing-the-haystack-docker-image).\n- We make Hayhooks container read `OPENAI_API_KEY` from a Kubernetes Secret.\n\nBefore applying this new configuration, create the `openai-secret`:\n\n```yaml\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n name: openai-secret\ntype: Opaque\ndata:\n # Replace the placeholder below with the base64 encoded value of your API key\n # Generate it using: echo -n $OPENAI_API_KEY | base64\n api-key: YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_API_KEY_HERE\n```\n\nAfter applying this, check your Hayhooks Pod logs, and you'll see that the `chat_with_website` pipelines have already been deployed.\n\n\n## Roll Out Multiple Pods\n\nHaystack pipelines are usually stateless, which is a perfect use case for distributing the requests to multiple pods running the same set of pipelines. Let's convert the single-Pod configuration to an actual Kubernetes `Deployment`:\n\n```yaml\napiVersion: apps/v1\nkind: Deployment\nmetadata:\n name: haystack-deployment\nspec:\n replicas: 3\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n app: haystack\n template:\n metadata:\n labels:\n app: haystack\n spec:\n initContainers:\n - name: install-dependencies\n image: python:3.12-slim\n workingDir: /mnt/data\n command: [\"/bin/bash\", \"-c\"]\n args:\n - |\n echo \"Installing dependencies...\"\n pip install trafilatura\n echo \"Dependencies installed successfully!\"\n touch /mnt/data/init-complete\n volumeMounts:\n - name: local-data\n mountPath: /mnt/data\n resources:\n requests:\n memory: \"64Mi\"\n cpu: \"100m\"\n limits:\n memory: \"128Mi\"\n cpu: \"250m\"\n containers:\n - image: deepset/hayhooks:v0.6.0\n name: hayhooks\n imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent\n command: [\"/bin/sh\", \"-c\"]\n args:\n - |\n pip install trafilatura && \\\n hayhooks run --host 0.0.0.0\n ports:\n - containerPort: 1416\n name: http\n volumeMounts:\n - name: local-data\n mountPath: /mnt/data\n env:\n - name: HAYHOOKS_PIPELINES_DIR\n value: /mnt/data\n - name: OPENAI_API_KEY\n valueFrom:\n secretKeyRef:\n name: openai-secret\n key: api-key\n resources:\n requests:\n memory: \"256Mi\"\n cpu: \"250m\"\n limits:\n memory: \"512Mi\"\n cpu: \"500m\"\n volumes:\n - name: local-data\n hostPath:\n path: /data\n type: Directory\n\n```\n\nImplementing the above configuration will create three pods. Each pod will run a different instance of Hayhooks, all serving the same example pipeline provided by the mounted volume in the previous example.\n\n\n\nNote that the `NodePort` you created before will now act as a load balancer and will distribute incoming requests to the three Hayhooks Pods.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/deployment/openshift.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenShift\"\nid: openshift\nslug: \"/openshift\"\ndescription: \"Learn how to deploy your applications running Haystack pipelines using OpenShift.\"\n---\n\n# OpenShift\n\nLearn how to deploy your applications running Haystack pipelines using OpenShift.\n\n## Introduction\n\nOpenShift by Red Hat is a platform that helps create and manage applications built on top of Kubernetes. It can be used to build, update, launch, and oversee applications running Haystack pipelines. A [developer sandbox](https://developers.redhat.com/developer-sandbox) is available, ideal for getting familiar with the platform and building prototypes that can be smoothly moved to production using a public cloud, private network, hybrid cloud, or edge computing.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nThe fastest way to deploy a Haystack pipeline is to deploy an OpenShift application that runs Hayhooks. Before starting, make sure to have the following prerequisites:\n\n- Access to an OpenShift project. Follow RedHat's [instructions](https://developers.redhat.com/developer-sandbox) to create one and start experimenting immediately.\n- Hayhooks are installed. Run `pip install hayhooks` and make sure it works by running `hayhooks --version`. Read more about Hayhooks in our [docs](../hayhooks.mdx).\n- You can optionally install the OpenShift command-line utility `oc`. Follow the [installation instructions](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.15/cli_reference/openshift_cli/getting-started-cli.html) for your platform and make sure it works by running `oc—h`.\n\n## Creating a Hayhooks Application\n\nIn this guide, we’ll be using the `oc` command line, but you can achieve the same by interacting with the user interface offered by the OpenShift console.\n\n1. The first step is to log into your OpenShift account using `oc`. From the top-right corner of your OpenShift console, click on your username and open the menu. Click **Copy login command** and follow the instructions.\n\n2. The console will show you the exact command to run in your terminal to log in. It’s something like the following: \n ```\n oc login --token= --server=https://:6443\n ```\n\n3. Assuming you already have a project (it’s the case for the developer sandbox), create an application running the Hayhooks Docker image available on Docker Hub: \n Note how you can pass environment variables that your application will use at runtime. In this case, we disable Haystack’s internal telemetry and set an OpenAI key that will be used by the pipelines we’ll eventually deploy in Hayhooks.\n ```\n oc new-app deepset/hayhooks:main -e HAYSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false -e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY\n ```\n\n4. To make sure you make the most out of OpenShift's ability to manage the lifecycle of the application, you can set a [liveness probe](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/): \n ```\n oc set probe deployment/hayhooks --liveness --get-url=http://:1416/status\n ```\n\n5. Finally, you can expose our Hayhooks instance to the public Internet: \n ```\n oc expose service/hayhooks\n ```\n\n6. You can get the public address that was assigned to your application by running: \n\n ```\n oc status\n ```\n\n In the output, look for something like this:\n\n ```\n In project on server https://:6443\n\n http://hayhooks-XXX.openshiftapps.com to pod port 1416-tcp (svc/hayhooks)\n ```\n\n7. `http://hayhooks-XXX.openshiftapps.com` will be the public URL serving your Hayhooks instance. At this point, you can query Hayhooks status by running: \n ```\n hayhooks --server http://hayhooks-XXX.openshiftapps.com status\n ```\n\n8. Lastly, deploy your pipeline as usual: \n ```\n hayhooks --server http://hayhooks-XXX.openshiftapps.com deploy your_pipeline.yaml\n ```" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/deployment.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Deployment\"\nid: deployment\nslug: \"/deployment\"\ndescription: \"Deploy your Haystack pipelines through various services such as Docker, Kubernetes, Ray, or a variety of Serverless options.\"\n---\n\n# Deployment\n\nDeploy your Haystack pipelines through various services such as Docker, Kubernetes, Ray, or a variety of Serverless options.\n\nAs a framework, Haystack is typically integrated into a variety of applications and environments, and there is no single, specific deployment strategy to follow. However, it is very common to make Haystack pipelines accessible through a service that can be easily called from other software systems.\n\nThese guides focus on tools and techniques that can be used to run Haystack pipelines in common scenarios. While these suggestions should not be considered the only way to do so, they should provide inspiration and the ability to customize them according to your needs.\n\n### Guides\n\nHere are the currently available guides on Haystack pipeline deployment:\n\n- [Deploying with Docker](deployment/docker.mdx)\n- [Deploying with Kubernetes](deployment/kubernetes.mdx)\n- [Deploying with OpenShift](deployment/openshift.mdx)\n\n### Hayhooks\n\nHaystack can be easily integrated into any HTTP application, but if you don’t have one, you can use Hayhooks, a ready-made application that serves Haystack pipelines as REST endpoints.

To learn how to install CUDA, see the [NVIDIA CUDA Guide for Linux](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html).\n\n2. Run the `nvidia-smi`in the command line to check if the GPU is enabled. If the GPU is enabled, the output shows a list of available GPUs and their memory usage:\n \n\n### Enabling the GPU in Colab\n\n1. In your Colab environment, select **Runtime>Change Runtime type**.\n\n\n2. Choose **Hardware accelerator>GPU**.\n3. To check if the GPU is enabled, run:\n\n```python python\n%%bash\n\nnvidia-smi\n```\n\nThe output should show the GPUs available and their usage.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/external-integrations-development.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"External Integrations\"\nid: external-integrations-development\nslug: \"/external-integrations-development\"\ndescription: \"External integrations that enable tracing, monitoring, and deploying your pipelines.\"\n---\n\n# External Integrations\n\nExternal integrations that enable tracing, monitoring, and deploying your pipelines.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [Arize Phoenix](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/arize-phoenix) | Trace your pipelines with Arize Phoenix. |\n| [Arize AI](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/arize) | Trace and monitor your pipelines with Arize AI. |\n| [Burr](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/burr) | Build Burr agents using Haystack. |\n| [Context AI](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/context-ai) | Log conversations for analytics by Context.ai. |\n| [Ray](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/ray) | Run and scale your pipelines with in distributed manner. |\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/hayhooks.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Hayhooks\"\nid: hayhooks\nslug: \"/hayhooks\"\ndescription: \"Hayhooks is a web application you can use to serve Haystack pipelines through HTTP endpoints. This page provides an overview of the main features of Hayhooks.\"\n---\n\n# Hayhooks\n\nHayhooks is a web application you can use to serve Haystack pipelines through HTTP endpoints. This page provides an overview of the main features of Hayhooks.\n\n:::info Hayhooks GitHub\n\nYou can find the code and an in-depth explanation of the features in the [Hayhooks GitHub repository](https://github.com/deepset-ai/hayhooks).\n:::\n\n## Overview\n\nHayhooks simplifies the deployment of Haystack pipelines as REST APIs. It allows you to:\n\n- Expose Haystack pipelines as HTTP endpoints, including OpenAI-compatible chat endpoints,\n- Customize logic while keeping minimal boilerplate,\n- Deploy pipelines quickly and efficiently.\n\n### Installation\n\nInstall Hayhooks using pip:\n\n```shell\npip install hayhooks\n```\n\nThe `hayhooks` package ships both the server and the client component, and the client is capable of starting the server. From a shell, start the server with:\n\n```shell\n$ hayhooks run\nINFO: Started server process [44782]\nINFO: Waiting for application startup.\nINFO: Application startup complete.\nINFO: Uvicorn running on http://localhost:1416 (Press CTRL+C to quit)\n```\n\n### Check Status\n\nFrom a different shell, you can query the status of the server with:\n\n```shell\n$ hayhooks status\nHayhooks server is up and running.\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nHayhooks can be configured in three ways:\n\n1. Using an `.env` file in the project root.\n2. Passing environment variables when running the command.\n3. Using command-line arguments with `hayhooks run`.\n\n### Environment Variables\n\n
\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Variable | Description |\n| `HAYHOOKS_HOST` | Host address for the server |\n| `HAYHOOKS_PORT` | Port for the server |\n| `HAYHOOKS_PIPELINES_DIR` | Directory containing pipelines |\n| `HAYHOOKS_ROOT_PATH` | Root path of the server |\n| `HAYHOOKS_ADDITIONAL_PYTHON_PATH` | Additional Python paths to include |\n| `HAYHOOKS_DISABLE_SSL` | Disable SSL verification (boolean) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_SHOW_TRACEBACKS` | Show error tracebacks (boolean) |\n\n
\n\n### CORS Settings\n\n
\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Variable | Description |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` | List of allowed origins (default: `[*]`) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_ALLOW_METHODS` | List of allowed HTTP methods (default: `[*]`) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_ALLOW_HEADERS` | List of allowed headers (default: `[*]`) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS` | Allow credentials (default: `false`) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN_REGEX` | Regex pattern for allowed origins (default: `null`) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_EXPOSE_HEADERS` | Headers to expose in response (default: `[]`) |\n| `HAYHOOKS_CORS_MAX_AGE` | Max age for preflight responses (default: `600`) |\n\n
\n\n## Running Hayhooks\n\nTo start the server:\n\n```shell\nhayhooks run\n```\n\nThis will launch Hayhooks at `HAYHOOKS_HOST:HAYHOOKS_PORT`.\n\n## Deploying a Pipeline\n\n### Steps\n\n1. Prepare a pipeline definition (`.yml` file) and a `pipeline_wrapper.py` file.\n2. Deploy the pipeline:\n\n ```shell\n hayhooks pipeline deploy-files -n my_pipeline my_pipeline_dir\n ```\n3. Access the pipeline at `{pipeline_name}/run` endpoint.\n\n### Pipeline Wrapper\n\nA `PipelineWrapper` class is required to wrap the pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom hayhooks import BasePipelineWrapper\n\n\nclass PipelineWrapper(BasePipelineWrapper):\n def setup(self) -> None:\n pipeline_yaml = (Path(__file__).parent / \"pipeline.yml\").read_text()\n self.pipeline = Pipeline.loads(pipeline_yaml)\n\n def run_api(self, input_text: str) -> str:\n result = self.pipeline.run({\"input\": {\"text\": input_text}})\n return result[\"output\"][\"text\"]\n```\n\n## File Uploads\n\nHayhooks enables handling file uploads in your pipeline wrapper’s `run_api` method by including `files: Optional[List[UploadFile]] = None` as an argument.\n\n```python\ndef run_api(self, files: Optional[List[UploadFile]] = None) -> str:\n if files and len(files) > 0:\n filenames = [f.filename for f in files if f.filename is not None]\n file_contents = [f.file.read() for f in files]\n return f\"Received files: {', '.join(filenames)}\"\n return \"No files received\"\n```\n\nHayhooks automatically processes uploaded files and passes them to the `run_api` method when present. The HTTP request must be a `multipart/form-data` request.\n\n### Combining Files and Parameters\n\nHayhooks also supports handling both files and additional parameters in the same request by including them as arguments in `run_api`:\n\n```python\ndef run_api(\n self,\n files: Optional[List[UploadFile]] = None,\n additional_param: str = \"default\",\n) -> str: ...\n```\n\n## Running Pipelines from the CLI\n\n### With JSON-Compatible Parameters\n\nYou can execute a pipeline through the command line using the `hayhooks pipeline run` command. Internally, this triggers the `run_api` method of the pipeline wrapper, passing parameters as a JSON payload.\n\nThis method is ideal for testing deployed pipelines from the CLI without writing additional code.\n\n```shell\nhayhooks pipeline run --param 'question=\"Is this recipe vegan?\"'\n```\n\n### With File Uploads\n\nTo execute a pipeline that requires a file input, use a `multipart/form-data` request. You can submit both files and parameters in the same request.\n\nEnsure the deployed pipeline supports file handling.\n\n```shell\n## Upload a directory\nhayhooks pipeline run --dir files_to_index\n\n## Upload a single file\nhayhooks pipeline run --file file.pdf\n\n## Upload multiple files\nhayhooks pipeline run --dir files_to_index --file file1.pdf --file file2.pdf\n\n## Upload a file with an additional parameter\nhayhooks pipeline run --file file.pdf --param 'question=\"Is this recipe vegan?\"'\n```\n\n## MCP Support\n\n### MCP Server\n\nHayhooks supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can act as an MCP Server. It automatically lists your deployed pipelines as MCP Tools using Server-Sent Events (SSE) as the transport method.\n\nTo start the Hayhooks MCP server, run:\n\n```shell\nhayhooks mcp run\n```\n\nThis starts the server at `HAYHOOKS_MCP_HOST:HAYHOOKS_MCP_PORT`.\n\n### Creating a PipelineWrapper\n\nTo expose a Haystack pipeline as an MCP Tool, you need a `PipelineWrapper` with the following properties:\n\n- **name**: The tool's name\n- **description**: The tool's description\n- **inputSchema**: A JSON Schema object for the tool's input parameters\n\nFor each deployed pipeline, Hayhooks will:\n\n1. Use the pipeline wrapper name as the MCP Tool name,\n2. Use the `run_api` method's docstring as the MCP Tool description (if present),\n3. Generate a Pydantic model from the `run_api` method arguments.\n\n#### PipelineWrapper Example\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom typing import List\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom hayhooks import BasePipelineWrapper\n\n\nclass PipelineWrapper(BasePipelineWrapper):\n def setup(self) -> None:\n pipeline_yaml = (Path(__file__).parent / \"chat_with_website.yml\").read_text()\n self.pipeline = Pipeline.loads(pipeline_yaml)\n\n def run_api(self, urls: List[str], question: str) -> str:\n \"\"\"\n Ask a question about one or more websites using a Haystack pipeline.\n \"\"\"\n result = self.pipeline.run(\n {\"fetcher\": {\"urls\": urls}, \"prompt\": {\"query\": question}},\n )\n return result[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0]\n```\n\n### Skipping MCP Tool Listing\n\nTo deploy a pipeline without listing it as an MCP Tool, set `skip_mcp = True` in your class:\n\n```python\nclass PipelineWrapper(BasePipelineWrapper):\n # This will skip the MCP Tool listing\n skip_mcp = True\n\n def setup(self) -> None: ...\n\n def run_api(self, urls: List[str], question: str) -> str: ...\n```\n\n## OpenAI Compatibility\n\nHayhooks supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints through the `run_chat_completion` method.\n\n```python\nfrom hayhooks import BasePipelineWrapper, get_last_user_message\n\n\nclass PipelineWrapper(BasePipelineWrapper):\n def run_chat_completion(self, model: str, messages: list, body: dict):\n question = get_last_user_message(messages)\n return self.pipeline.run({\"query\": question})\n```\n\n### Streaming Responses\n\nHayhooks provides a `streaming_generator` utility to stream pipeline output to the client:\n\n```python\nfrom hayhooks import streaming_generator\n\n\ndef run_chat_completion(self, model: str, messages: list, body: dict):\n question = get_last_user_message(messages)\n return streaming_generator(\n pipeline=self.pipeline,\n pipeline_run_args={\"query\": question},\n )\n```\n\n## Running Programmatically\n\nHayhooks can be embedded in a FastAPI application:\n\n```python\nimport uvicorn\nfrom hayhooks.settings import settings\nfrom fastapi import Request\nfrom hayhooks import create_app\n\n## Create the Hayhooks app\nhayhooks = create_app()\n\n\n## Add a custom route\n@hayhooks.get(\"/custom\")\nasync def custom_route():\n return {\"message\": \"Hi, this is a custom route!\"}\n\n\n## Add a custom middleware\n@hayhooks.middleware(\"http\")\nasync def custom_middleware(request: Request, call_next):\n response = await call_next(request)\n response.headers[\"X-Custom-Header\"] = \"custom-header-value\"\n return response\n\n\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n uvicorn.run(\"app:hayhooks\", host=settings.host, port=settings.port)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/logging.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Logging\"\nid: logging\nslug: \"/logging\"\ndescription: \"Logging is crucial for monitoring and debugging LLM applications during development as well as in production. Haystack provides different logging solutions out of the box to get you started quickly, depending on your use case.\"\n---\n\nimport ClickableImage from \"@site/src/components/ClickableImage\";\n\n# Logging\n\nLogging is crucial for monitoring and debugging LLM applications during development as well as in production. Haystack provides different logging solutions out of the box to get you started quickly, depending on your use case.\n\n## Standard Library Logging (default)\n\nHaystack logs through Python’s standard library. This gives you full flexibility and customizability to adjust the log format according to your needs.\n\n### Changing the Log Level\n\nBy default, Haystack's logging level is set to `WARNING`. To display more information, you can change it to `INFO`. This way, not only warnings but also information messages are displayed in the console output.\n\nTo change the logging level to `INFO`, run:\n\n```python\nimport logging\n\nlogging.basicConfig(\n format=\"%(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s\",\n level=logging.WARNING,\n)\nlogging.getLogger(\"haystack\").setLevel(logging.INFO)\n```\n\n#### Further Configuration\n\nSee [Python’s documentation on logging](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html) for more advanced configuration.\n\n## Real-Time Pipeline Logging\n\nUse Haystack's [`LoggingTracer`](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/tracing/logging_tracer.py) logs to inspect the data that's flowing through your pipeline in real-time.\n\nThis feature is particularly helpful during experimentation and prototyping, as you don’t need to set up any tracing backend beforehand.\n\nHere’s how you can enable this tracer. In this example, we are adding color tags (this is optional) to highlight the components' names and inputs:\n\n```python\nimport logging\nfrom haystack import tracing\nfrom haystack.tracing.logging_tracer import LoggingTracer\n\nlogging.basicConfig(\n format=\"%(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s\",\n level=logging.WARNING,\n)\nlogging.getLogger(\"haystack\").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)\n\ntracing.tracer.is_content_tracing_enabled = (\n True # to enable tracing/logging content (inputs/outputs)\n)\ntracing.enable_tracing(\n LoggingTracer(\n tags_color_strings={\n \"haystack.component.input\": \"\\x1b[1;31m\",\n \"haystack.component.name\": \"\\x1b[1;34m\",\n },\n ),\n)\n```\n\nHere’s what the resulting log would look like when a pipeline is run:\n\n\n## Structured Logging\n\nHaystack leverages the [structlog library](https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/) to provide structured key-value logs. This provides additional metadata with each log message and is especially useful if you archive your logs with tools like [ELK](https://www.elastic.co/de/elastic-stack), [Grafana](https://grafana.com/oss/agent/?plcmt=footer), or [Datadog](https://www.datadoghq.com/).\n\nIf Haystack detects a [structlog installation](https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/) on your system, it will automatically switch to structlog for logging.\n\n### Console Rendering\n\nTo make development a more pleasurable experience, Haystack uses [structlog’s `ConsoleRender`](https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/console-output.html) by default to render structured logs as a nicely aligned and colorful output:\n\n\n:::tip Rich Formatting\n\nInstall [_rich_](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html) to beautify your logs even more!\n:::\n\n### JSON Rendering\n\nWe recommend JSON logging when deploying Haystack to production. Haystack will automatically switch to JSON format if it detects no interactive terminal session. If you want to enforce JSON logging:\n\n- Run Haystack with the environment variable `HAYSTACK_LOGGING_USE_JSON` set to `true`.\n- Or, use Python to tell Haystack to log as JSON:\n\n ```python\n import haystack.logging\n\n haystack.logging.configure_logging(use_json=True)\n ```\n\n\n### Disabling Structured Logging\n\nTo disable structured logging despite an existing installation of structlog, set the environment variable `HAYSTACK_LOGGING_IGNORE_STRUCTLOG_ENV_VAR` to `true` when running Haystack.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/development/tracing.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Tracing\"\nid: tracing\nslug: \"/tracing\"\ndescription: \"This page explains how to use tracing in Haystack.

It describes how to set up a tracing backend with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or your own solution. This can help you monitor your app's performance and optimize it.\n\nTraces document the flow of requests through your application and are vital for monitoring applications in production. This helps to understand the execution order of your pipeline components and analyze where your pipeline spends the most time.\n\n## Configuring a Tracing Backend\n\nInstrumented applications typically send traces to a trace collector or a tracing backend. Haystack provides out-of-the-box support for [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) and [Datadog](https://app.datadoghq.eu/dashboard/lists). You can also quickly implement support for additional providers of your choosing.\n\n### OpenTelemetry\n\nTo use OpenTelemetry as your tracing backend, follow these steps:\n\n1. Install the [OpenTelemetry SDK](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/python/):\n\n ```shell\n pip install opentelemetry-sdk\n pip install opentelemetry-exporter-otlp\n ```\n2. To add traces to even deeper levels of your pipelines, we recommend you check out [OpenTelemetry integrations](https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/?s=python), such as:\n - [`urllib3` instrumentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/tree/main/instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib3) for tracing HTTP requests in your pipeline,\n - [OpenAI instrumentation](https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry/tree/main/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai) for tracing OpenAI requests.\n3. There are two options for how to hook Haystack to the OpenTelemetry SDK.\n\n - Run your Haystack applications using OpenTelemetry’s [automated instrumentation](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/python/getting-started/#instrumentation). Haystack will automatically detect the configured tracing backend and use it to send traces.\n\n First, install the `OpenTelemetry` CLI:\n\n ```shell\n pip install opentelemetry-distro\n ```\n\n Then, run your Haystack application using the OpenTelemetry SDK:\n\n ```shell\n opentelemetry-instrument \\\n --traces_exporter console \\\n --metrics_exporter console \\\n --logs_exporter console \\\n --service_name my-haystack-app \\\n \n ```\n\n — or —\n\n - Configure the tracing backend in your Python code:\n\n ```python\n from haystack import tracing\n\n from opentelemetry import trace\n from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter\n from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider\n from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor\n from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource\n from opentelemetry.semconv.resource import ResourceAttributes\n\n # Service name is required for most backends\n resource = Resource(attributes={\n ResourceAttributes.SERVICE_NAME: \"haystack\" # Correct constant\n })\n\n tracer_provider = TracerProvider(resource=resource)\n processor = BatchSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter(endpoint=\"http://localhost:4318/v1/traces\"))\n tracer_provider.add_span_processor(processor)\n trace.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)\n\n # Tell Haystack to auto-detect the configured tracer\n import haystack.tracing\n haystack.tracing.auto_enable_tracing()\n\n # Explicitly tell Haystack to use your tracer\n from haystack.tracing import OpenTelemetryTracer\n\n tracer = tracer_provider.get_tracer(\"my_application\")\n tracing.enable_tracing(OpenTelemetryTracer(tracer))\n ```\n\n### Datadog\n\nTo use Datadog as your tracing backend, follow these steps:\n\n1. Install [Datadog’s tracing library ddtrace](https://ddtrace.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#).\n\n ```shell\n pip install ddtrace\n ```\n2. There are two options for how to hook Haystack to ddtrace.\n\n - Run your Haystack application using the `ddtrace`:\n ```shell\n ddtrace \n\n### MLflow\n\n[MLflow](https://mlflow.org/) is an open-source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning and AI lifecycle. MLflow provides native tracing support for Haystack. Simply install MLflow and enable automatic tracing with a single line of code.\n\n```shell\npip install mlflow\n```\n\n```python\nimport mlflow\n\nmlflow.haystack.autolog()\n# Optionally set an experiment name\nmlflow.set_experiment(\"Haystack\")\n```\n\nThis automatically captures traces from all Haystack pipelines and components, including latencies, token usage, cost, and any exceptions.\n\n:::info\nCheck out the [MLflow Haystack integration guide](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/mlflow) for a full walkthrough with examples.\n:::\n\n### Weights & Biases Weave\n\nThe `WeaveConnector` component allows you to trace and visualize your pipeline execution in [Weights & Biases](https://wandb.ai/site/) framework.\n\nYou will first need to create a free account on Weights & Biases website and get your API key, as well as install the integration with `pip install weights_biases-haystack`.\n\n:::info\nCheck out the component's [documentation page](../pipeline-components/connectors/weaveconnector.mdx) for more details and example usage.\n:::\n\n### Custom Tracing Backend\n\nTo use your custom tracing backend with Haystack, follow these steps:\n\n1. Implement the `Tracer` interface. The following code snippet provides an example using the OpenTelemetry package:\n\n ```python\n import contextlib\n from typing import Optional, Dict, Any, Iterator\n\n from opentelemetry import trace\n from opentelemetry.trace import NonRecordingSpan\n\n from haystack.tracing import Tracer, Span\n from haystack.tracing import utils as tracing_utils\n import opentelemetry.trace\n\n class OpenTelemetrySpan(Span):\n def __init__(self, span: opentelemetry.trace.Span) -> None:\n self._span = span\n\n def set_tag(self, key: str, value: Any) -> None:\n \t\t\t # Tracing backends usually don't support any tag value\n \t\t\t # `coerce_tag_value` forces the value to either be a Python\n \t\t\t # primitive (int, float, boolean, str) or tries to dump it as string.\n coerced_value = tracing_utils.coerce_tag_value(value)\n self._span.set_attribute(key, coerced_value)\n\n class OpenTelemetryTracer(Tracer):\n def __init__(self, tracer: opentelemetry.trace.Tracer) -> None:\n self._tracer = tracer\n\n @contextlib.contextmanager\n def trace(self, operation_name: str, tags: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) -> Iterator[Span]:\n with self._tracer.start_as_current_span(operation_name) as span:\n span = OpenTelemetrySpan(span)\n if tags:\n span.set_tags(tags)\n\n yield span\n\n def current_span(self) -> Optional[Span]:\n current_span = trace.get_current_span()\n if isinstance(current_span, NonRecordingSpan):\n return None\n\n return OpenTelemetrySpan(current_span)\n ```\n\n2. Tell Haystack to use your custom tracer:\n\n ```python\n from haystack import tracing\n\n haystack_tracer = OpenTelemetryTracer(tracer)\n tracing.enable_tracing(haystack_tracer)\n ```\n\n## Disabling Auto Tracing\n\nHaystack automatically detects and enables tracing under the following circumstances:\n\n- If `opentelemetry-sdk` is installed and configured for OpenTelemetry.\n- If `ddtrace` is installed for Datadog.\n\nTo disable this behavior, there are two options:\n\n- Set the environment variable `HAYSTACK_AUTO_TRACE_ENABLED` to `false` when running your Haystack application\n\n— or —\n\n- Disable tracing in Python:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tracing import disable_tracing\n\n disable_tracing()\n ```\n\n## Content Tracing\n\nHaystack also allows you to trace your pipeline components' input and output values. This is useful for investigating your pipeline execution step by step.\n\nBy default, this behavior is disabled to prevent sensitive user information from being sent to your tracing backend.\n\nTo enable content tracing, there are two options:\n\n- Set the environment variable `HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED` to `true` when running your Haystack application\n\n— or —\n\n- Explicitly enable content tracing in Python:\n\n ```python\n from haystack import tracing\n\n tracing.tracer.is_content_tracing_enabled = True\n ```\n\n## Visualizing Traces During Development\n\nUse [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.6/getting-started/) as a lightweight tracing backend for local pipeline development. This allows you to experiment with tracing without the need for a complex tracing backend.\n\n\n1. Run the Jaeger container. This creates a tracing backend as well as a UI to visualize the traces:\n\n ```shell\n docker run --rm -d --name jaeger \\\n -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HOST_PORT=:9411 \\\n -p 6831:6831/udp \\\n -p 6832:6832/udp \\\n -p 5778:5778 \\\n -p 16686:16686 \\\n -p 4317:4317 \\\n -p 4318:4318 \\\n -p 14250:14250 \\\n -p 14268:14268 \\\n -p 14269:14269 \\\n -p 9411:9411 \\\n jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest\n ```\n2. Install the OpenTelemetry SDK:\n\n ```shell\n pip install opentelemetry-sdk\n pip install opentelemetry-exporter-otlp\n ```\n3. Configure `OpenTelemetry` to use the Jaeger backend:\n\n ```python\n from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource\n from opentelemetry.semconv.resource import ResourceAttributes\n\n from opentelemetry import trace\n from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter\n from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider\n from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor\n\n # Service name is required for most backends\n resource = Resource(attributes={\n ResourceAttributes.SERVICE_NAME: \"haystack\"\n })\n\n tracer_provider = TracerProvider(resource=resource)\n processor = BatchSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter(endpoint=\"http://localhost:4318/v1/traces\"))\n tracer_provider.add_span_processor(processor)\n trace.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)\n ```\n4. Tell Haystack to use OpenTelemetry for tracing:\n\n ```python\n import haystack.tracing\n\n haystack.tracing.auto_enable_tracing()\n ```\n5. Run your pipeline:\n\n ```python\n ...\n pipeline.run(...)\n ...\n ```\n6. Inspect the traces in the UI provided by Jaeger at [http://localhost:16686](http://localhost:16686/search).\n\n## Real-Time Pipeline Logging\n\nUse Haystack's [`LoggingTracer`](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/tracing/logging_tracer.py) logs to inspect the data that's flowing through your pipeline in real-time.\n\nThis feature is particularly helpful during experimentation and prototyping, as you don’t need to set up any tracing backend beforehand.\n\nHere’s how you can enable this tracer. In this example, we are adding color tags (this is optional) to highlight the components' names and inputs:\n\n```python\nimport logging\nfrom haystack import tracing\nfrom haystack.tracing.logging_tracer import LoggingTracer\n\nlogging.basicConfig(\n format=\"%(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s\",\n level=logging.WARNING,\n)\nlogging.getLogger(\"haystack\").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)\n\ntracing.tracer.is_content_tracing_enabled = (\n True # to enable tracing/logging content (inputs/outputs)\n)\ntracing.enable_tracing(\n LoggingTracer(\n tags_color_strings={\n \"haystack.component.input\": \"\\x1b[1;31m\",\n \"haystack.component.name\": \"\\x1b[1;34m\",\n },\n ),\n)\n```\n\nHere’s what the resulting log would look like when a pipeline is run:\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/arcadedbdocumentstore.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ArcadeDBDocumentStore\"\nid: arcadedbdocumentstore\nslug: \"/arcadedbdocumentstore\"\n---\n\n# ArcadeDBDocumentStore\n\n

\n\nDataStax Astra DB is a serverless vector database built on Apache Cassandra, and it supports vector-based search and auto-scaling. You can deploy it on AWS, GCP, or Azure and easily expand to one or more regions within those clouds for multi-region availability, low latency data access, data sovereignty, and to avoid cloud vendor lock-in. For more information, see the [DataStax documentation](https://docs.datastax.com/en/home/docs/index.html).\n\n### Initialization\n\nOnce you have an AstraDB account and have created a database, install the `astra-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install astra-haystack\n```\n\nFrom the configuration in AstraDB’s web UI, you need the database ID and a generated token.\n\nYou will additionally need a collection name and a namespace. When you create the collection name, you also need to set the embedding dimensions and the similarity metric. The namespace organizes data in a database and is called a keyspace in Apache Cassandra.\n\nThen, in Haystack, initialize an `AstraDocumentStore` object that’s connected to the AstraDB instance, and write documents to it.\n\nWe strongly encourage passing authentication data through environment variables: make sure to populate the environment variables `ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT` and `ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN` before running the following example.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.astra import AstraDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = AstraDocumentStore()\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [Document(content=\"This is first\"), Document(content=\"This is second\")],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\n### Supported Retrievers\n\n[AstraEmbeddingRetriever](../pipeline-components/retrievers/astraretriever.mdx): An embedding-based Retriever that fetches documents from the Document Store based on a query embedding provided to the Retriever.\n\n### Indexing Warnings\n\nWhen you create an Astra DB Document Store, you might see one of these warnings:\n\n> Astra DB collection `...` is detected as having indexing turned on for all fields (either created manually or by older versions of this plugin). This implies stricter limitations on the amount of text each string in a document can store. Consider indexing anew on a fresh collection to be able to store longer texts.\n\nOr:\n\n> Astra DB collection `...` is detected as having the following indexing policy: `{...}`. This does not match the requested indexing policy for this object: `{...}`. In particular, there may be stricter limitations on the amount of text each string in a document can store. Consider indexing anew on a fresh collection to be able to store longer texts.\n\n#### Why You See This Warning\n\nThe collection already exists and is configured to [index all fields for search](https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra-db-serverless/api-reference/collections.html#the-indexing-option), possibly because you created it earlier or an older plugin did. When Haystack tries to create the collection, it applies an indexing policy optimized for your intended use. This policy lets you store longer texts and avoids indexing fields you won’t filter on, which also reduces write overhead.\n\n#### Common Causes\n\n1. You created the collection outside Haystack (for example, in the Astra UI or with AstraPy’s `Database.create_collection()`).\n2. You created the collection with an older version of the plugin.\n\n#### Impact\n\nThis is only a warning. Your application keeps running unless you try to store very long text fields. If you do, Astra DB returns an indexing error.\n\n#### Solutions\n\n- **Recommended:** _Drop and recreate the collection_ if you can repopulate it. Then rerun your Haystack application so it creates the collection with the optimized indexing policy.\n- _Ignore the warning_ if you’re sure you won’t store very long text fields.\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Using AstraDB as a data store in your Haystack pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/astradb_haystack_integration)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/azureaisearchdocumentstore.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AzureAISearchDocumentStore\"\nid: azureaisearchdocumentstore\nslug: \"/azureaisearchdocumentstore\"\ndescription: \"A Document Store for storing and retrieval from Azure AI Search Index.\"\n---\n\n# AzureAISearchDocumentStore\n\nA Document Store for storing and retrieval from Azure AI Search Index.\n\n

\n\n[Azure AI Search](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-what-is-azure-search) is an enterprise-ready search and retrieval system to build RAG-based applications on Azure, with native LLM integrations.\n\n`AzureAISearchDocumentStore` supports semantic reranking and metadata/content filtering. The Document Store is useful for various tasks such as generating knowledge base insights (catalog or document search), information discovery (data exploration), RAG, and automation.\n\n### Initialization\n\nThis integration requires you to have an active Azure subscription with a deployed [Azure AI Search](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/ai-search) service.\n\nOnce you have the subscription, install the `azure-ai-search-haystack` integration:\n\n```python\npip install azure-ai-search-haystack\n```\n\nTo use the `AzureAISearchDocumentStore`, you need to provide a search service endpoint as an `AZURE_AI_SEARCH_ENDPOINT` and an API key as `AZURE_AI_SEARCH_API_KEY` for authentication. If the API key is not provided, the `DefaultAzureCredential` will attempt to authenticate you through the browser.\n\nDuring initialization the Document Store will either retrieve the existing search index for the given `index_name` or create a new one if it doesn't already exist. Note that one of the limitations of `AzureAISearchDocumentStore` is that the fields of the Azure search index cannot be modified through the API after creation. Therefore, any additional fields beyond the default ones must be provided as `metadata_fields` during the Document Store's initialization. However, if needed, [Azure AI portal](https://azure.microsoft.com/) can be used to modify the fields without deleting the index.\n\nIt is recommended to pass authentication data through `AZURE_AI_SEARCH_API_KEY` and `AZURE_AI_SEARCH_ENDPOINT` before running the following example.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack import Document\n\ndocument_store = AzureAISearchDocumentStore(index_name=\"haystack-docs\")\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is the first document.\"),\n Document(content=\"This is the second document.\"),\n ],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\n:::info Latency Notice\n\nDue to Azure search index latency, the document count returned in the example might be zero if executed immediately. To ensure accurate results, be mindful of this latency when retrieving documents from the search index.\n:::\n\nYou can enable semantic reranking in `AzureAISearchDocumentStore` by providing [SemanticSearch](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-search-documents/azure.search.documents.indexes.models.semanticsearch?view=azure-python) configuration in `index_creation_kwargs` during initialization and calling it from one of the Retrievers. For more information, refer to the [Azure AI tutorial](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-get-started-semantic) on this feature.\n\n### Supported Retrievers\n\nThe Haystack Azure AI Search integration includes three Retriever components. Each Retriever leverages the Azure AI Search API and you can select the one that best suits your pipeline:\n\n- [`AzureAISearchEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/azureaisearchembeddingretriever.mdx): This Retriever accepts the embeddings of a single query as input and returns a list of matching documents. The query must be embedded beforehand, which can be done using an [Embedder](../pipeline-components/embedders.mdx) component.\n- [`AzureAISearchBM25Retriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/azureaisearchbm25retriever.mdx): A keyword-based Retriever that retrieves documents matching a query from the Azure AI Search index.\n- [`AzureAISearchHybridRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/azureaisearchhybridretriever.mdx): This Retriever combines embedding-based retrieval and keyword search to find matching documents in the search index to get more relevant results.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/chromadocumentstore.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ChromaDocumentStore\"\nid: chromadocumentstore\nslug: \"/chromadocumentstore\"\n---\n\n# ChromaDocumentStore\n\n
\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| API reference | [Chroma](/reference/integrations-chroma) |\n| GitHub link | https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/chroma |\n\n
\n\n[Chroma](https://docs.trychroma.com/) is an open source vector database capable of storing collections of documents along with their metadata, creating embeddings for documents and queries, and searching the collections filtering by document metadata or content. Additionally, Chroma supports multi-modal embedding functions.\n\nChroma can be used in-memory, as an embedded database, or in a client-server fashion. When running in-memory, Chroma can still keep its contents on disk across different sessions. This allows users to quickly put together prototypes using the in-memory version and later move to production, where the client-server version is deployed.\n\n## Initialization\n\nFirst, install the Chroma integration, which will install Haystack and Chroma if they are not already present. The following command is all you need to start:\n\n```shell\npip install chroma-haystack\n```\n\nTo store data in Chroma, create a `ChromaDocumentStore` instance and write documents with:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.chroma import ChromaDocumentStore\nfrom haystack import Document\n\ndocument_store = ChromaDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is the first document.\"),\n Document(content=\"This is the second document.\"),\n ],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\nIn this case, since we didn’t pass any embeddings along with our documents, Chroma will create them for us using its [default embedding function](https://docs.trychroma.com/embeddings#default-all-minilm-l6-v2).\n\n### Connection Options\n\n1. **In-Memory Mode (Local)**: Chroma can be set up as a local Document Store for fast and lightweight usage. You can use this option during development or small-scale experiments. Set up a local in-memory instance of `ChromaDocumentStore` like this:\n\n ```python\n from haystack_integrations.document_stores.chroma import ChromaDocumentStore\n\n document_store = ChromaDocumentStore()\n ```\n2. **Persistent Storage**: If you need to retain the documents between sessions, Chroma supports persistent storage by specifying a path to store data on disk:\n\n ```python\n from haystack_integrations.document_stores.chroma import ChromaDocumentStore\n\n document_store = ChromaDocumentStore(persist_path=\"your_directory_path\")\n ```\n3. **Remote Connection**: You can connect to a remote Chroma database through HTTP. This is suitable for distributed setups where multiple clients might interact with the same remote Chroma instance.\n\n Note that this option is incompatible with in-memory or persistent storage modes.\n\n First, start a Chroma server:\n\n ```shell\n chroma run --path /db_path\n ```\n\n Or using docker:\n\n ```shell\n docker run -p 8000:8000 chromadb/chroma\n ```\n\n Then, initialize the Document Store with `host` and `port` parameters:\n\n ```python\n from haystack_integrations.document_stores.chroma import ChromaDocumentStore\n\n document_store = ChromaDocumentStore(host=\"localhost\", port=\"8000\")\n ```\n\n## Supported Retrievers\n\nThe Haystack Chroma integration comes with three Retriever components. They all rely on the Chroma [query API](https://docs.trychroma.com/reference/Collection#query), but they have different inputs and outputs so that you can pick the one that best fits your pipeline:\n\n- [`ChromaQueryTextRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/chromaqueryretriever.mdx): This Retriever takes a plain-text query string in input and returns a list of matching documents. Chroma will create the embeddings for the query using its [default embedding function](https://docs.trychroma.com/embeddings#default-all-minilm-l6-v2).\n- [`ChromaEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/chromaembeddingretriever.mdx): This Retriever takes the embeddings of a single query in input and returns a list of matching documents. The query needs to be embedded before being passed to this component. For example, you can use an [embedder](../pipeline-components/embedders.mdx) component.\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Use Chroma for RAG and Indexing](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/chroma-indexing-and-rag-examples)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/elasticsearch-document-store.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ElasticsearchDocumentStore\"\nid: elasticsearch-document-store\nslug: \"/elasticsearch-document-store\"\ndescription: \"Use an Elasticsearch database with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# ElasticsearchDocumentStore\n\nUse an Elasticsearch database with Haystack.\n\n

\n\n`FAISSDocumentStore` is a local Document Store backed by [FAISS](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss) for vector similarity search.\nIt keeps vectors in a FAISS index and stores document data in memory, with optional persistence to disk.\n\n`FAISSDocumentStore` is a good fit for local development and small to medium-sized datasets where you want a lightweight setup without running an external database service.\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall the FAISS integration:\n\n```shell\npip install faiss-haystack\n```\n\n## Initialization\n\nCreate a `FAISSDocumentStore` instance and write embedded documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.faiss import FAISSDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = FAISSDocumentStore(\n index_path=\"my_faiss_index\", # Optional: enables persistence on disk\n index_string=\"Flat\",\n embedding_dim=768,\n)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is first\", embedding=[0.1] * 768),\n Document(content=\"This is second\", embedding=[0.2] * 768),\n ],\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE,\n)\n\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n\n# Persist index and metadata files (`.faiss` and `.json`)\ndocument_store.save(\"my_faiss_index\")\n```\n\n### Persistence\n\nIf you provide `index_path` when initializing `FAISSDocumentStore`, it tries to load existing persisted files (`.faiss` and `.json`) from that path.\nYou can also explicitly call:\n\n- `save(index_path)` to write index and metadata to disk.\n- `load(index_path)` to load them later.\n\nExample of loading from a previously saved folder/path:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.faiss import FAISSDocumentStore\n\n# This loads `my_faiss_index.faiss` and `my_faiss_index.json` if they exist\ndocument_store = FAISSDocumentStore(index_path=\"my_faiss_index\")\n\n# Alternatively, initialize first and then load explicitly\nanother_store = FAISSDocumentStore(embedding_dim=768)\nanother_store.load(\"my_faiss_index\")\n```\n\n## Supported Retrievers\n\n[`FAISSEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/faissembeddingretriever.mdx): Retrieves documents from `FAISSDocumentStore` based on query embeddings.\n\n\n### Fixing OpenMP Runtime Conflicts on macOS\n\n#### Symptoms\n\nYou may encounter one or both of the following errors at runtime:\n\n```\nOMP: Error #15: Initializing libomp.dylib, but found libomp.dylib already initialized.\nOMP: Hint This means that multiple copies of the OpenMP runtime have been linked into the program.\n```\n\n```\nresource_tracker: There appear to be 1 leaked semaphore objects to clean up at shutdown\n```\n\nIf setting `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1` prevents the crash, the root cause is **multiple OpenMP runtimes loaded simultaneously**. Each runtime maintains its own thread pool and thread-local storage (TLS). When two runtimes spin up worker threads at the same time, they corrupt each other's memory — causing segfaults at `N > 1` threads.\n\n---\n\n#### Diagnosis\n\nFirst, find how many copies of `libomp.dylib` exist in your virtual environment:\n\n```bash\nfind /path/to/your/.venv -name \"libomp.dylib\" 2>/dev/null\n```\n\nIf you see more than one, e.g.:\n\n```\n.venv/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/torch/lib/libomp.dylib\n.venv/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/sklearn/.dylibs/libomp.dylib\n.venv/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/faiss/.dylibs/libomp.dylib\n```\n\nyou need to consolidate them into a single runtime.\n\n---\n\n#### Fix\n\nThe solution is to pick one canonical `libomp.dylib` (torch's is a good choice) and replace all other copies with symlinks pointing to it.\n\nFor each duplicate, delete the copy and replace it with a symlink:\n\n```bash\n# Delete the duplicate\nrm /path/to/.venv/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages//.dylibs/libomp.dylib\n\n# Replace with a symlink to the canonical copy\nln -s /path/to/.venv/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/torch/lib/libomp.dylib \\\n /path/to/.venv/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages//.dylibs/libomp.dylib\n```\n\nRepeat for every duplicate found. Because these packages use `@loader_path`-relative references to load `libomp.dylib`, the symlink will be transparently resolved to the single canonical runtime at load time.\n\n---\n\n#### Verify\n\nAfter applying the fix, confirm only one unique `libomp.dylib` is being referenced:\n\n```bash\nfind /path/to/your/.venv -name \"*.so\" | xargs otool -L 2>/dev/null | grep libomp | sort -u\n```\n\nAll entries should resolve to the same canonical path. You should now be able to run without `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1`.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/inmemorydocumentstore.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"InMemoryDocumentStore\"\nid: inmemorydocumentstore\nslug: \"/inmemorydocumentstore\"\n---\n\n# InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nThe `InMemoryDocumentStore` is a very simple document store with no extra services or dependencies.\n\nIt is great for experimenting with Haystack, however we do not recommend using it for production.\n\n### Initialization\n\n`InMemoryDocumentStore` requires no external setup.

\n\n`MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` can be used to manage documents using [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/atlas), a multi-cloud database service by the same people who build MongoDB. Atlas simplifies deploying and managing your databases while offering the versatility you need to build resilient and performant global applications on the cloud providers of your choice. You can use MongoDB Atlas on cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, all without leaving Atlas' web UI.\n\nMongoDB Atlas supports embeddings and can therefore be used for embedding retrieval.\n\n## Installation\n\nTo use MongoDB Atlas with Haystack, install the integration first:\n\n```shell\npip install mongodb-atlas-haystack\n```\n\n## Initialization\n\nTo use MongoDB Atlas with Haystack, you will need to create your MongoDB Atlas account: check the [MongoDB Atlas documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/) for help. You also need to [create a vector search index](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index) and [a full-text search index](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/manage-indexes/#create-an-atlas-search-index) for the collection you plan to use.\n\nOnce you have your connection string, you should export it in an environment variable called `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING`. It should look something like this:\n\n```python\nexport MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING=\"mongodb+srv://:@.gwkckbk.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority\"\n```\n\nAt this point, you’re ready to initialize the store:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import (\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore,\n)\n\n## Initialize the document store\ndocument_store = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(\n database_name=\"haystack_test\",\n collection_name=\"test_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"embedding_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"search_index\",\n)\n```\n\n## Supported Retrievers\n\n- [`MongoDBAtlasEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/mongodbatlasembeddingretriever.mdx): Compares the query and document embeddings and fetches the documents most relevant to the query.\n- [`MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/mongodbatlasfulltextretriever.mdx): A full-text search Retriever.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/opensearch-document-store.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearchDocumentStore\"\nid: opensearch-document-store\nslug: \"/opensearch-document-store\"\ndescription: \"A Document Store for storing and retrieval from OpenSearch.\"\n---\n\n# OpenSearchDocumentStore\n\nA Document Store for storing and retrieval from OpenSearch.\n\n

\n\nPgvector is an extension for PostgreSQL that enhances its capabilities with vector similarity search. It builds upon the classic features of PostgreSQL, such as ACID compliance and point-in-time recovery, and introduces the ability to perform exact and approximate nearest neighbor search using vectors.\n\nFor more information, see the [pgvector repository](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector).\n\nPgvector Document Store supports embedding retrieval and metadata filtering.\n\n## Installation\n\nTo quickly set up a PostgreSQL database with pgvector, you can use Docker:\n\n```shell\ndocker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres ankane/pgvector\n```\n\nFor more information on installing pgvector, visit the [pgvector GitHub repository](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector).\n\nTo use pgvector with Haystack, install the `pgvector-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install pgvector-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Connection String\n\nDefine the connection string to your PostgreSQL database in the `PG_CONN_STR` environment variable. Two formats are supported:\n\n**URI format:**\n\n```shell\nexport PG_CONN_STR=\"postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DB_NAME\"\n```\n\n**Keyword/value format:**\n\n```shell\nexport PG_CONN_STR=\"host=HOST port=PORT dbname=DB_NAME user=USER password=PASSWORD\"\n```\n\n:::caution Special Characters in Connection URIs\n\nWhen using the URI format, special characters in the password must be [percent-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding). Otherwise, connection errors may occur. A password like `p=ssword` would cause the error `psycopg.OperationalError: [Errno -2] Name or service not known`.\n\nFor example, if your password is `p=ssword`, the connection string should be:\n\n```shell\nexport PG_CONN_STR=\"postgresql://postgres:p%3Dssword@localhost:5432/postgres\"\n```\n\nAlternatively, use the keyword/value format, which does not require percent-encoding:\n\n```shell\nexport PG_CONN_STR=\"host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgres user=postgres password=p=ssword\"\n```\n\n:::\n\nFor more details, see the [PostgreSQL connection string documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING).\n\n## Initialization\n\nInitialize a `PgvectorDocumentStore` object that’s connected to the PostgreSQL database and writes documents to it:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.pgvector import PgvectorDocumentStore\nfrom haystack import Document\n\ndocument_store = PgvectorDocumentStore(\n embedding_dimension=768,\n vector_function=\"cosine_similarity\",\n recreate_table=True,\n search_strategy=\"hnsw\",\n)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is first\", embedding=[0.1] * 768),\n Document(content=\"This is second\", embedding=[0.3] * 768),\n ],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\nTo learn more about the initialization parameters, see our [API docs](/reference/integrations-pgvector#pgvectordocumentstore).\n\nTo properly compute embeddings for your documents, you can use a Document Embedder (for instance, the [`SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder`](../pipeline-components/embedders/sentencetransformersdocumentembedder.mdx)).\n\n### Supported Retrievers\n\n- [`PgvectorEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/pgvectorembeddingretriever.mdx): An embedding-based Retriever that fetches documents from the Document Store based on a query embedding provided to the Retriever.\n- [`PgvectorKeywordRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/pgvectorembeddingretriever.mdx): A keyword-based Retriever that fetches documents matching a query from the Pgvector Document Store.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/pinecone-document-store.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PineconeDocumentStore\"\nid: pinecone-document-store\nslug: \"/pinecone-document-store\"\ndescription: \"Use a Pinecone vector database with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# PineconeDocumentStore\n\nUse a Pinecone vector database with Haystack.\n\n

\n\n[Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/) is a cloud-based vector database. It is fast and easy to use.\nUnlike other solutions (such as Qdrant and Weaviate), it can’t run locally on the user's machine but provides a generous free tier.\n\n### Installation\n\nYou can simply install the Pinecone Haystack integration with:\n\n```shell\npip install pinecone-haystack\n```\n\n### Initialization\n\n- To use Pinecone as a Document Store in Haystack, sign up for a free Pinecone [account](https://app.pinecone.io/) and get your API key.\n The Pinecone API key can be explicitly provided or automatically read from the environment variable `PINECONE_API_KEY` (recommended).\n- In Haystack, each `PineconeDocumentStore` operates in a specific namespace of an index. If not provided, both index and namespace are `default`.\n If the index already exists, the Document Store connects to it. Otherwise, it creates a new index.\n- When creating a new index, you can provide a `spec` in the form of a dictionary. This allows choosing between serverless and pod deployment options and setting additional parameters. Refer to the [Pinecone documentation](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/control-plane/create_index) for more details. If not provided, a default spec with serverless deployment in the `us-east-1` region will be used (compatible with the free tier).\n- You can provide `dimension` and `metric`, but they are only taken into account if the Pinecone index does not already exist.\n\nThen, you can use the Document Store like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.pinecone import PineconeDocumentStore\n\n## Make sure you have the PINECONE_API_KEY environment variable set\ndocument_store = PineconeDocumentStore(\n index=\"default\",\n namespace=\"default\",\n dimension=5,\n metric=\"cosine\",\n spec={\"serverless\": {\"region\": \"us-east-1\", \"cloud\": \"aws\"}},\n)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is first\", embedding=[0.1] * 5),\n Document(content=\"This is second\", embedding=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5]),\n ],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\n### Supported Retrievers\n\n[`PineconeEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/pineconedenseretriever.mdx): Retrieves documents from the `PineconeDocumentStore` based on their dense embeddings (vectors).\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/qdrant-document-store.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"QdrantDocumentStore\"\nid: qdrant-document-store\nslug: \"/qdrant-document-store\"\ndescription: \"Use the Qdrant vector database with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# QdrantDocumentStore\n\nUse the Qdrant vector database with Haystack.\n\n

\n\nQdrant is a powerful high-performance, massive-scale vector database. The `QdrantDocumentStore` can be used with any Qdrant instance, in-memory, locally persisted, hosted, and the official Qdrant Cloud.\n\n### Installation\n\nYou can simply install the Qdrant Haystack integration with:\n\n```shell\npip install qdrant-haystack\n```\n\n### Initialization\n\nThe quickest way to use `QdrantDocumentStore` is to create an in-memory instance of it:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.document import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.qdrant import QdrantDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = QdrantDocumentStore(\n \":memory:\",\n recreate_index=True,\n return_embedding=True,\n wait_result_from_api=True,\n)\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is first\", embedding=[0.0] * 768),\n Document(content=\"This is second\", embedding=[0.1] * 768),\n ],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\n:::warning Collections Created Outside Haystack\n\nWhen you create a `QdrantDocumentStore` instance, Haystack takes care of setting up the collection. In general, you cannot use a Qdrant collection created without Haystack with Haystack. If you want to migrate your existing collection, see the sample script at https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/blob/main/integrations/qdrant/src/haystack_integrations/document_stores/qdrant/migrate_to_sparse.py.\n:::\n\nYou can also connect directly to [Qdrant Cloud](https://cloud.qdrant.io/login) directly. Once you have your API key and your cluster URL from the Qdrant dashboard, you can connect like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.document import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.qdrant import QdrantDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ndocument_store = QdrantDocumentStore(\n url=\"https://XXXXXXXXX.us-east4-0.gcp.cloud.qdrant.io:6333\",\n index=\"your_index_name\",\n embedding_dim=1024, # based on the embedding model\n recreate_index=True, # enable only to recreate the index and not connect to the existing one\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"YOUR_TOKEN\"),\n)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"This is first\", embedding=[0.0] * 5),\n Document(content=\"This is second\", embedding=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5]),\n ],\n)\nprint(document_store.count_documents())\n```\n\n:::tip More information\n\nYou can find more ways to initialize and use QdrantDocumentStore on our [integration page](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/qdrant-document-store).\n:::\n\n### Supported Retrievers\n\n- [`QdrantEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/qdrantembeddingretriever.mdx): Retrieves documents from the `QdrantDocumentStore` based on their dense embeddings (vectors).\n- [`QdrantSparseEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/qdrantsparseembeddingretriever.mdx): Retrieves documents from the `QdrantDocumentStore` based on their sparse embeddings.\n- [`QdrantHybridRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/qdranthybridretriever.mdx): Retrieves documents from the `QdrantDocumentStore` based on both dense and sparse embeddings.\n\n:::note Sparse Embedding Support\n\nTo use Sparse Embedding support, you need to initialize the `QdrantDocumentStore` with `use_sparse_embeddings=True`, which is `False` by default.\n\nIf you want to use Document Store or collection previously created with this feature disabled, you must migrate the existing data. You can do this by taking advantage of the `migrate_to_sparse_embeddings_support` utility function.\n:::\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Sparse Embedding Retrieval with Qdrant and FastEmbed](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/sparse_embedding_retrieval)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/document-stores/valkeydocumentstore.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ValkeyDocumentStore\"\nid: valkeydocumentstore\nslug: \"/valkeydocumentstore\"\ndescription: \"Use a Valkey database with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# ValkeyDocumentStore\n\n

\n\n[Valkey](https://valkey.io/) is a high-performance, in-memory data structure store that you can use in Haystack pipelines with the `ValkeyDocumentStore`. Valkey operates in-memory by default for maximum performance, but can be configured with persistence options for data durability.\n\nThe `ValkeyDocumentStore` connects to a Valkey server with the search module running and supports vector similarity search for RAG and other retrieval use cases. For a detailed overview of all the available methods and settings, visit the [API Reference](/reference/integrations-valkey#valkeydocumentstore).\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can install the Valkey Haystack integration with:\n\n```shell\npip install valkey-haystack\n```\n\n## Initialization\n\nTo use Valkey as your data storage for Haystack pipelines, you need a Valkey server with the search module running. Initialize a `ValkeyDocumentStore` like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.valkey import ValkeyDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = ValkeyDocumentStore(\n nodes_list=[(\"localhost\", 6379)],\n index_name=\"my_documents\",\n embedding_dim=768,\n distance_metric=\"cosine\"\n)\n```\n\n### Running Valkey locally\n\nFor development and testing, you can start a Valkey server with Docker:\n\n```shell\ndocker run -d -p 6379:6379 valkey/valkey-bundle:latest\n```\n\nThen connect with the same initialization code above, using `nodes_list=[(\"localhost\", 6379)]`.\n\nFor more advanced configurations and clustering setups, refer to the [Valkey documentation](https://valkey.io/docs/).\n\n## Writing documents\n\nTo write documents to your `ValkeyDocumentStore`, create an indexing pipeline or use the `write_documents()` method. You can use [Converters](../pipeline-components/converters.mdx), [PreProcessors](../pipeline-components/preprocessors.mdx), and other integrations to fetch and prepare data. Below is an example that indexes Markdown files into Valkey.\n\n### Indexing pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import MarkdownToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.valkey import ValkeyDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = ValkeyDocumentStore(\n nodes_list=[(\"localhost\", 6379)],\n index_name=\"my_documents\",\n embedding_dim=768,\n distance_metric=\"cosine\"\n)\n\nindexing = Pipeline()\nindexing.add_component(\"converter\", MarkdownToDocument())\nindexing.add_component(\"splitter\", DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=2))\nindexing.add_component(\"embedder\", SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder())\nindexing.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store))\nindexing.connect(\"converter\", \"splitter\")\nindexing.connect(\"splitter\", \"embedder\")\nindexing.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": [\"filename.md\"]}})\n```\n\n## Using Valkey in a RAG pipeline\n\nOnce documents are in your `ValkeyDocumentStore`, you can use [`ValkeyEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/valkeyembeddingretriever.mdx) to retrieve them. The following example builds a RAG pipeline with a custom prompt:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.valkey import ValkeyDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.valkey import ValkeyEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = ValkeyDocumentStore(\n nodes_list=[(\"localhost\", 6379)],\n index_name=\"my_documents\",\n embedding_dim=768,\n distance_metric=\"cosine\"\n)\n\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"Answer the question based on the provided context.

This approach tries to tackle this problem. Given a query, the Hypothetical Document Embeddings (HyDE) first zero-shot prompts an instruction-following language model to generate a “fake” hypothetical document that captures relevant textual patterns from the initial query - in practice, this is done five times. Then, it encodes each hypothetical document into an embedding vector and averages them. The resulting, single embedding can be used to identify a neighbourhood in the document embedding space from which similar actual documents are retrieved based on vector similarity. As with any other retriever, these retrieved documents can then be used downstream in a pipeline (for example, in a Generator for RAG). Refer to the paper “[Precise Zero-Shot Dense Retrieval without Relevance Labels](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.99/)” for more details.\n\n\n## How To Build It in Haystack?\n\nFirst, prepare all the components that you would need:\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom numpy import array, mean\nfrom typing import List\n\nfrom haystack.components.generators.openai import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack import component, Document\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\n\n## We need to ensure we have the OpenAI API key in our environment variables\nos.environ[\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"] = \"YOUR_OPENAI_KEY\"\n\n## Initializing standard Haystack components\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-3.5-turbo\",\n generation_kwargs={\"n\": 5, \"temperature\": 0.75, \"max_tokens\": 400},\n)\nprompt_builder = PromptBuilder(\n template=\"\"\"Given a question, generate a paragraph of text that answers the question.

This page explains what model-based evaluation is and discusses the various options available with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# Model-Based Evaluation\n\nHaystack supports various kinds of model-based evaluation. This page explains what model-based evaluation is and discusses the various options available with Haystack.\n\n## What is Model-Based Evaluation\n\nModel-based evaluation in Haystack uses a language model to check the results of a Pipeline. This method is easy to use because it usually doesn't need labels for the outputs. It's often used with Retrieval-Augmented Generative (RAG) Pipelines, but can work with any Pipeline.\n\nCurrently, Haystack supports the end-to-end, model-based evaluation of a complete RAG Pipeline.\n\n### Using LLMs for Evaluation\n\nA common strategy for model-based evaluation involves using a Language Model (LLM), such as OpenAI's GPT models, as the evaluator model, often referred to as the _golden_ model. The most frequently used golden model is GPT-4. We utilize this model to evaluate a RAG Pipeline by providing it with the Pipeline's results and sometimes additional information, along with a prompt that outlines the evaluation criteria.\n\nThis method of using an LLM as the evaluator is very flexible as it exposes a number of metrics to you. Each of these metrics is ultimately a well-crafted prompt describing to the LLM how to evaluate and score results. Common metrics are faithfulness, context relevance, and so on.\n\n### Using Local LLMs\n\nTo use the model-based Evaluators with a local model, you need to pass the `api_base_url` and `model` in the `api_params` parameter when initializing the Evaluator.\n\nThe following example shows how this would work with an Ollama model.\n\nFirst, make sure that Ollama is running locally:\n\n```curl\ncurl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{\n \"model\": \"llama3\",\n \"prompt\":\"Why is the sky blue?\"\n}'\n```\n\nThen, your pipeline would look like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import FaithfulnessEvaluator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\nquestions = [\"Who created the Python language?\"]\ncontexts = [\n [\n (\n \"Python, created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, is a high-level general-purpose programming \"\n \"language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its language constructs aim to help \"\n \"programmers write clear, logical code for both small and large-scale software projects.\"\n ),\n ],\n]\npredicted_answers = [\n \"Python is a high-level general-purpose programming language that was created by George Lucas.\",\n]\nlocal_endpoint = \"http://localhost:11434/v1\"\n\nevaluator = FaithfulnessEvaluator(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"just-a-placeholder\"),\n api_params={\"api_base_url\": local_endpoint, \"model\": \"llama3\"},\n)\n\nresult = evaluator.run(\n questions=questions,\n contexts=contexts,\n predicted_answers=predicted_answers,\n)\n```\n\n### Using Small Cross-Encoder Models for Evaluation\n\nAlongside LLMs for evaluation, we can also use small cross-encoder models. These models can calculate, for example, semantic answer similarity. In contrast to metrics based on LLMs, the metrics based on smaller models don’t require an API key of a model provider.\n\nThis method of using small cross-encoder models as evaluators is faster and cheaper to run but is less flexible in terms of what aspect you can evaluate. You can only evaluate what the small model was trained to evaluate.\n\n## Model-Based Evaluation Pipelines in Haystack\n\nThere are two ways of performing model-based evaluation in Haystack, both of which leverage [Pipelines](../../concepts/pipelines.mdx) and [Evaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators.mdx) components.\n\n- You can create and run an evaluation Pipeline independently. This means you’ll have to provide the required inputs to the evaluation Pipeline manually. We recommend this way because the separation of your RAG Pipeline and your evaluation Pipeline allows you to store the results of your RAG Pipeline and try out different evaluation metrics afterward without needing to re-run your RAG Pipeline every time.\n- As another option, you can add an evaluator component to the end of a RAG Pipeline. This means you run both a RAG Pipeline and evaluation on top of it in a single `pipeline.run()` call.\n\n### Model-based Evaluation of Retrieved Documents\n\n#### [ContextRelevanceEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/contextrelevanceevaluator.mdx)\n\nContext relevance refers to how relevant the retrieved documents are to the query. An LLM is used to judge that aspect. It first extracts statements from the documents and then checks how many of them are relevant for answering the query.\n\n### Model-based Evaluation of Generated or Extracted Answers\n\n#### [FaithfulnessEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/faithfulnessevaluator.mdx)\n\nFaithfulness, also called groundedness, evaluates to what extent a generated answer is based on retrieved documents. An LLM is used to extract statements from the answer and check the faithfulness for each separately. If the answer is not based on the documents, the answer, or at least parts of it, is called a hallucination.\n\n#### [SASEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/sasevaluator.mdx) (Semantic Answer Similarity)\n\nSemantic answer similarity uses a transformer-based, cross-encoder architecture to evaluate the semantic similarity of two answers rather than their lexical overlap. While F1 and EM would both score _one hundred percent_ as sharing zero similarity with _100 %_, SAS is trained to assign a high score to such cases. SAS is particularly useful for seeking out cases where F1 doesn't give a good indication of the validity of a predicted answer. You can read more about SAS in [Semantic Answer Similarity for Evaluating Question-Answering Models paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.06130).\n\n### Evaluation Framework Integrations\n\nCurrently, Haystack has integrations with [DeepEval](https://docs.confident-ai.com/docs/metrics-introduction) and [Ragas](https://docs.ragas.io/en/stable/index.html). There is an Evaluator component available for each of these frameworks:\n\n- [RagasEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/ragasevaluator.mdx)\n- [DeepEvalEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/deepevalevaluator.mdx)\n\n| | | |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Feature/Integration | RagasEvaluator | DeepEvalEvaluator |\n| Evaluator Models | All GPT models from OpenAI

This page explains what statistical evaluation is and discusses the various options available within Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# Statistical Evaluation\n\nHaystack supports various statistical evaluation metrics. This page explains what statistical evaluation is and discusses the various options available within Haystack.\n\n## Introduction\n\nStatistical evaluation in Haystack compares ground truth labels with pipeline predictions, typically using metrics such as precision or recall. It's often used to evaluate the Retriever component within Retrieval-Augmented Generative (RAG) pipelines, but this methodology can be adapted for any pipeline if ground truth labels of relevant documents are available.\n\nWhen evaluating answers, such as those predicted by an extractive question answering pipeline, the ground truth labels of expected answers are compared to the pipeline's predictions.\n\nFor assessing answers generated by LLMs with one of Haystack’s Generator components, we recommend model-based evaluation instead. It can incorporate measures of semantic similarity or coherence and is better suited to evaluate predictions that might differ in wording from the ground truth labels.\n\n## Statistical Evaluation Pipelines in Haystack\n\nThere are two ways of performing model-based evaluation in Haystack, both of which leverage [pipelines](../../concepts/pipelines.mdx) and [Evaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators.mdx) components:\n\n- You can create and run an evaluation pipeline independently. This means you’ll have to provide the required inputs to the evaluation pipeline manually. We recommend this way because the separation of your RAG pipeline and your evaluation pipeline allows you to store the results of your RAG pipeline and try out different evaluation metrics afterward without needing to re-run your pipeline every time.\n- As another option, you can add an Evaluator to the end of a RAG pipeline. This means you run both a RAG pipeline and evaluation on top of it in a single `pipeline.run()` call.\n\n## Statistical Evaluation of Retrieved Documents\n\n### [DocumentRecallEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/documentrecallevaluator.mdx)\n\nRecall measures how often the correct document was among the retrieved documents over a set of queries. For a single query, the output is binary: either the correct document is contained in the selection, or it is not. Over the entire dataset, the recall score amounts to a number between zero (no query retrieved the right document) and one (all queries retrieved the right documents).\n\nIn some scenarios, there can be multiple correct documents for one query. The metric `recall_single_hit` considers whether at least one of the correct documents is retrieved, whereas `recall_multi_hit` takes into account how many of the multiple correct documents for one query are retrieved.\n\nNote that recall is affected by the number of documents that the Retriever returns. If the Retriever returns few documents, it means that it is difficult to retrieve the correct documents. Make sure to set the Retriever's `top_k` to an appropriate value in the pipeline that you're evaluating.\n\n### [DocumentMRREvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/documentmrrevaluator.mdx) (Mean Reciprocal Rank)\n\nIn contrast to the recall metric, mean reciprocal rank takes the position of the top correctly retrieved document (the “rank”) into account. It does this to account for the fact that a query elicits multiple responses of varying relevance. Like recall, MRR can be a value between zero (no matches) and one (the system retrieved a correct document for all queries as the top result). For more details, check out [Mean Reciprocal Rank wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_reciprocal_rank).\n\n### [DocumentMAPEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/documentmapevaluator.mdx) (Mean Average Precision)\n\nMean average precision is similar to mean reciprocal rank but takes into account the position of every correctly retrieved document. Like MRR, mAP can be a value between zero (no matches) and one (the system retrieved correct documents for all top results). mAP is particularly useful in cases where there is more than one correct answer to be retrieved. For more details, check out [Mean Average Precision wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_measures_(information_retrieval)#Mean_average_precision).\n\n## Statistical Evaluation of Extracted or Generated Answers\n\n### [AnswerExactMatchEvaluator](../../pipeline-components/evaluators/answerexactmatchevaluator.mdx)\n\nExact match measures the proportion of cases where the predicted Answer is identical to the correct Answer. For example, for the annotated question-answer pair “What is Haystack?\" + \"A question answering library in Python”, even a predicted answer like “A Python question answering library” would yield a zero score because it does not match the expected answer 100%." }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/optimization/evaluation.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Evaluation\"\nid: evaluation\nslug: \"/evaluation\"\ndescription: \"Learn all about pipeline or component evaluation in Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# Evaluation\n\nLearn all about pipeline or component evaluation in Haystack.\n\nHaystack has all the tools needed to evaluate entire pipelines or individual components like Retrievers, Readers, or Generators. This guide explains how to evaluate your pipeline in different scenarios and how to understand the metrics.\n\nUse evaluation and its results to:\n\n- Judge how well your system is performing on a given domain,\n- Compare the performance of different models,\n- Identify underperforming components in your pipeline.\n\n## Evaluation Options\n\n**Evaluating individual components or end-to-end pipelines.**\n\nEvaluating individual components can help understand performance bottlenecks and optimize one component at a time, for example, a Retriever or a prompt used with a Generator.\n\nEnd-to-end evaluation checks how the full pipeline is used and evaluates only the final outputs. The pipeline is approached as a black box.\n\n**Using ground-truth labels or no labels at all.**\n\nMost statistical evaluators require ground truth labels, such as the documents relevant to the query or the expected answer. In contrast, most model-based evaluators work without any labels just by following the prompt instructions. However, few-shot labels included in the prompt can improve the evaluator.\n\n**Model-based evaluation using a language model or statistical evaluation.**\n\nModel-based evaluation uses LLMs with prompt instructions or smaller fine-tuned models to score aspects of a pipeline’s outputs. Statistical evaluation requires no models and is thus a more lightweight way to score pipeline outputs. For more information, see our docs on [model-based](evaluation/model-based-evaluation.mdx) evaluation and [statistical](evaluation/statistical-evaluation.mdx) evaluation.\n\n## Evaluator Components\n\n| | | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Evaluator | Evaluates Answers or Documents | Model-based or Statistical | Requires Labels |\n| [AnswerExactMatchEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/answerexactmatchevaluator.mdx) | Answers | Statistical | Yes |\n| [ContextRelevanceEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/contextrelevanceevaluator.mdx) | Documents | Model-based | No |\n| [DocumentMRREvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/documentmrrevaluator.mdx) | Documents | Statistical | Yes |\n| [DocumentMAPEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/documentmapevaluator.mdx) | Documents | Statistical | Yes |\n| [DocumentRecallEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/documentrecallevaluator.mdx) | Documents | Statistical | Yes |\n| [FaithfulnessEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/faithfulnessevaluator.mdx) | Answers | Model-based | No |\n| [LLMEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/llmevaluator.mdx) | User-defined | Model-based | No |\n| [SASEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/sasevaluator.mdx) | Answers | Model-based | Yes |\n\n## Evaluator Integrations\n\nTo learn more about our integration with the Ragas and DeepEval evaluation frameworks, head over to the [RagasEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/ragasevaluator.mdx) and [DeepEvalEvaluator](../pipeline-components/evaluators/deepevalevaluator.mdx) component docs.\n\nTo get started using practical examples, check out our evaluation tutorial or the respective cookbooks below.\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Evaluating RAG Pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/35_evaluating_rag_pipelines)\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks:\n\n- [RAG Evaluation with Prometheus 2](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/prometheus2_evaluation)\n- [RAG Pipeline Evaluation Using Ragas](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/rag_eval_ragas)\n- [RAG Pipeline Evaluation Using DeepEval](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/rag_eval_deep_eval)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/overview/breaking-change-policy.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Breaking Change Policy\"\nid: breaking-change-policy\nslug: \"/breaking-change-policy\"\ndescription: \"This document outlines the breaking change policy for Haystack, including the definition of breaking changes, versioning conventions, and the deprecation process for existing features.\"\n---\n\n# Breaking Change Policy\n\nThis document outlines the breaking change policy for Haystack, including the definition of breaking changes, versioning conventions, and the deprecation process for existing features.\n\nHaystack is under active development, which means that functionalities are being added, deprecated, or removed rather frequently. This policy aims to minimize the impact of these changes on current users and deployments. It provides a clear schedule and outlines the necessary steps before upgrading to a new Haystack version.\n\n## Breaking Change Definition\n\nA breaking change occurs when: \n\n- A Component is removed, renamed, or the Python import path is changed.\n- A parameter is renamed, removed, or changed from optional to mandatory.\n- A new mandatory parameter is added.\n\nExisting deployments might break, and the change is deemed a _breaking change_. The decision to declare a change as breaking has nothing to do with its potential impact: while the change might only impact a tiny subset of applications using a specific Haystack feature, it would still be treated as a breaking change.\n\nThe following cases are **not** considered a breaking change:\n\n- A new functionality is added (for example, a new Component).\n- A component, class, or utility function gets a new optional parameter.\n- An existing parameter gets changed from mandatory to optional.\n\nExisting deployments are not impacted, and the change is deemed non-breaking. Release notes will mention the change and possibly provide an upgrade path, but upgrading Haystack won’t break existing applications.\n\n## Versioning\n\nHaystack releases are labeled with a series of three numbers separated by dots, for example, `2.0.1`. Each number has a specific meaning: \n\n- `2` is the Major version\n- `0` is the Minor version\n- `1` is the Patch version\n\n:::info\nAlbeit similar, Haystack DOES NOT follow the principles of [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org). Read on to see the differences.\n:::\n\nGiven a Haystack release with a version number of type `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, you should expect:\n\n1. **For Major version change:** fundamental, incompatible API changes. In this case, you would most likely need a migration process before being able to update Haystack. Major releases happen no more than once a year, changes are extensively documented, and a migration path is provided.\n2. **For Minor version change:** addition or removal of functionalities that might not be backward compatible. Most of the time, you will be able to upgrade your Haystack installation seamlessly, but always refer to the [release notes](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/releases) for guidance. Deprecated components are the most common breaking change shipped in a Minor version release.\n3. **For Patch version change:** bugfixes. You can safely upgrade Haystack to the new version without concerns that your program will break.\n\n## Deprecation of Existing Features\n\nHaystack strives for robustness. To achieve this, we clean up our code by removing old features that are no longer used. This helps us maintain the codebase, improve security, and make it easier to keep everything running smoothly. Before we remove a feature, component, class, or utility function, we go through a process called deprecation.\n\nA Major or Minor (but not Patch) version may deprecate certain features from previous releases, and this is what you should expect:\n\n- If a feature is deprecated in Haystack version `X.Y`, it will continue to work but the Python code will raise warnings detailing the steps to take in order to upgrade.\n- Features deprecated in Haystack version `X.Y` will be removed in Haystack `X.Y+1`, giving affected users a timeframe of roughly a month to prepare the upgrade.\n\n### Example\n\nTo clarify the process, here’s an example:\n\nAt some point, we decide to remove a `FooComponent` and declare it deprecated in Haystack version `2.99.0`. This is what will happen:\n\n1. `FooComponent` keeps working as usual In Haystack `2.99.0`, but using the component raises a `FutureWarning` message in the code.\n2. In Haystack version `2.100.0`, we remove the `FooComponent` from the codebase. Trying to use it produces an error.\n\n## Discontinuing an Integration\n\nWhen existing features are changed or removed, integrations go through the same deprecation process as detailed on this page for Haystack. It’s important to note that integrations are independent and distributed with their own packages. In certain cases, a special form of deprecation may occur where the integration is discontinued and subsequently removed from the Core Integrations repository.\n\nTo give our community the opportunity to take over the integration and keep it maintained before being discontinued Core Integrations gradually go through different states, as detailed below:\n\n- **Staged**\n - The source code of the integration is moved from `main` to a special `staging` branch of the Core Integrations repository.\n - The documentation pages are removed from the Haystack documentation website.\n - The main README of the Core Integrations repository shows a disclaimer explaining how the integration can be adopted from the community.\n - The integration tile is removed (it can be re-added later by the maintainer who adopted the integration).\n - The integration package on PyPI remains available.\n - A grace period of 3 months starts.\n- **Adopted**\n - An organization or an individual from the community accepts to take over the ownership of the Staged integration.\n - The adopter creates their own repository, and the source code of the discontinued integration is removed from the `staging` branch.\n - Ownership of the PyPI package is transferred to the new maintainer.\n - The adopter will create a new integration tile in [haystack-integrations](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-integrations).\n- **Discontinued**\n - If the grace period expires and nobody adopts the Staged Integration, its source code is removed from the `staging` branch.\n - The PyPI package of the integration won’t be removed but won’t be further updated." }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/overview/faq.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"FAQ\"\nid: faq\nslug: \"/faq\"\ndescription: \"Here are the answers to the questions people frequently ask about Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# FAQ\n\nHere are the answers to the questions people frequently ask about Haystack.\n\n### How can I make sure that my GPU is being engaged when I use Haystack?\n\nYou will want to ensure that a CUDA enabled GPU is being engaged when Haystack is running (you can check by running `nvidia-smi -l` on your command line).

\n\nWere you already using Haystack 1.x?\n\n:::warning\n\nInstalling `farm-haystack` and `haystack-ai` in the same Python environment (virtualenv, Colab, or system) causes problems.\n\nInstalling both packages in the same environment can somehow work or fail in obscure ways. We suggest installing only one of these packages per Python environment. Make sure that you remove both packages if they are installed in the same environment, followed by installing only one of them:\n\n```bash\npip uninstall -y farm-haystack haystack-ai\npip install haystack-ai\n```\n\nIf you have any questions, please reach out to us on the [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/discussions) or [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/VBpFzsgRVF).\n:::\n\n
\n\n### Optional Dependencies\n\nSome components in Haystack rely on additional optional dependencies.\nTo keep the installation lightweight, these are not included by default – only the essentials are installed.\nIf you use a feature that requires an optional dependency that hasn't been installed, Haystack will raise an error that instructs you to install missing dependencies, for example:\n\n```shell\nImportError: \"Haystack failed to import the optional dependency 'pypdf'. Run 'pip install pypdf'.\n```\n\n## Contributing to Haystack\n\nIf you would like to contribute to the Haystack, check our [Contributor Guidelines](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) first.\n\nTo be able to make changes to Haystack code, install with the following commands:\n\n```shell\n## Clone the repo\ngit clone https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack.git\n\n## Move into the cloned folder\ncd haystack\n\n## Upgrade pip\npip install --upgrade pip\n\n## Install Haystack in editable mode\npip install -e '.[dev]'\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/overview/migrating-from-langgraphlangchain-to-haystack.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Migrating from LangGraph/LangChain to Haystack\"\nid: migrating-from-langgraphlangchain-to-haystack\nslug: \"/migrating-from-langgraphlangchain-to-haystack\"\ndescription: \"Whether you're planning to migrate to Haystack or just comparing LangChain/LangGraph and Haystack to choose the proper framework for your AI application, this guide will help you map common patterns between frameworks.\"\n---\n\nimport CodeBlock from '@theme/CodeBlock';\n\n# Migrating from LangGraph/LangChain to Haystack\n\nWhether you're planning to migrate to Haystack or just comparing **LangChain/LangGraph** and **Haystack** to choose the proper framework for your AI application, this guide will help you map common patterns between frameworks.\n\nIn this guide, you'll learn how to translate core LangGraph concepts, like nodes, edges, and state, into Haystack components, pipelines, and agents. The goal is to preserve your existing logic while leveraging Haystack's flexible, modular ecosystem.\n\nIt's most accurate to think of Haystack as covering both **LangChain** and **LangGraph** territory: Haystack provides the building blocks for everything from simple sequential flows to fully agentic workflows with custom logic.\n\n## Why you might explore or migrate to Haystack\n\nYou might consider Haystack if you want to build your AI applications on a **stable, actively maintained foundation** with an intuitive developer experience.\n\n* **Unified orchestration framework.** Haystack supports both deterministic pipelines and adaptive agentic flows, letting you combine them with the right level of autonomy in a single system.\n* **High-quality codebase and design.** Haystack is engineered for clarity and reliability with well-tested components, predictable APIs, and a modular architecture that simply works.\n* **Ease of customization.** Extend core components, add your own logic, or integrate custom tools with minimal friction.\n* **Reduced cognitive overhead.** Haystack extends familiar ideas rather than introducing new abstractions, helping you stay focused on applying concepts, not learning them.\n* **Comprehensive documentation and learning resources.** Every concept, from components and pipelines to agents and tools, is supported by detailed and well-maintained docs, tutorials, and educational content.\n* **Frequent release cycles.** New features, improvements, and bug fixes are shipped regularly, ensuring that the framework evolves quickly while maintaining backward compatibility.\n* **Scalable from prototype to production.** Start small and expand easily. The same code you use for a proof of concept can power enterprise-grade deployments through the whole Haystack ecosystem.\n\n## Concept mapping: LangGraph/LangChain → Haystack\n\nHere's a table of key concepts and their approximate equivalents between the two frameworks. Use this when auditing your LangGraph/Langchain architecture and planning the migration.\n\n| LangGraph/LangChain concept | Haystack equivalent | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Node | Component | A unit of logic in both frameworks. In Haystack, a [Component](../concepts/components.mdx) can run standalone, in a pipeline, or as a tool with agent. You can [create custom components](../concepts/components/custom-components.mdx) or use built-in ones like Generators and Retrievers. |\n| Edge / routing logic | Connection / Branching / Looping | [Pipelines](../concepts/pipelines.mdx) connect component inputs and outputs with type-checked links. They support branching, routing, and loops for flexible flow control. |\n| Graph / Workflow (nodes + edges) | Pipeline or Agent | LangGraph explicitly defines graphs; Haystack achieves similar orchestration through pipelines or [Agents](../concepts/agents.mdx) when adaptive logic is needed. |\n| Subgraphs | SuperComponent | A [SuperComponent](../concepts/components/supercomponents.mdx) wraps a full pipeline and exposes it as a single reusable component |\n| Models / LLMs | ChatGenerator Components | Haystack's [ChatGenerators](../pipeline-components/generators.mdx) unify access to open and proprietary models, with support for streaming, structured outputs, and multimodal data. |\n| Agent Creation (`create_agent`, multi-agent from LangChain) | Agent Component | Haystack provides a simple, pipeline-based [Agent](../concepts/agents.mdx) abstraction that handles reasoning, tool use, and multi-step execution. |\n| Tool (Langchain) | [Tool](../tools/tool.mdx) / [PipelineTool](../tools/pipelinetool.mdx) / [ComponentTool](../tools/componenttool.mdx) / [MCPTool](../tools/mcptool.mdx) | Haystack exposes Python functions, pipelines, components, external APIs and MCP servers as agent tools. |\n| Multi-Agent Collaboration (LangChain) | Multi-Agent System | Using [`ComponentTool`](../tools/componenttool.mdx), agents can use other agents as tools, enabling [multi-agent architectures](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/45_creating_a_multi_agent_system) within one framework. |\n| Model Context Protocol `load_mcp_tools` `MultiServerMCPClient` | Model Context Protocol - `MCPTool`, `MCPToolset`, `StdioServerInfo`, `StreamableHttpServerInfo` | Haystack provides [various MCP primitives](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/mcp) for connecting multiple MCP servers and organizing MCP toolsets. |\n| Memory (State, short-term, long-term) | Memory (Agent State, short-term, long-term) | Agent [State](../concepts/agents/state.mdx) provides a structured way to share data between tools and store intermediate results during agent execution. For short-term memory, Haystack offers a [ChatMessage Store](/reference/experimental-chatmessage-store-api) to persist chat history. More memory options are coming soon. |\n| Time travel (Checkpoints) | Breakpoints (Breakpoint, AgentBreakpoint, ToolBreakpoint, Snapshot) | [Breakpoints](../concepts/pipelines/pipeline-breakpoints.mdx) let you pause, inspect, modify, and resume a pipeline, agent, or tool for debugging or iterative development. |\n| Human-in-the-Loop (Interrupts / Commands) | Human-in-the-loop ( ConfirmationStrategy / ConfirmationPolicy) | (Experimental) Haystack uses [confirmation strategies](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/47_human_in_the_loop_agent) to pause or block the execution to gather user feedback |\n\n## Ecosystem and Tooling Mapping: LangChain → Haystack\n\nAt deepset, we're building the tools to make LLMs truly usable in production, open source and beyond.\n\n* [Haystack, AI Orchestration Framework](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack) → Open Source AI framework for building production-ready, AI-powered agents and applications, on your own or with community support.\n* [Haystack Enterprise Starter](https://www.deepset.ai/products-and-services/haystack-enterprise) → Private and secure engineering support, advanced pipeline templates, deployment guides, and early access features for teams needing more support and guidance.\n* [Haystack Enterprise Platform](https://www.deepset.ai/products-and-services/deepset-ai-platform) → An enterprise-ready platform for teams running Gen AI apps in production, with security, governance, and scalability built in with [a free version](https://www.deepset.ai/deepset-studio).\n\nHere's the product equivalent of two ecosystems:\n\n| **LangChain Ecosystem** | **Haystack Ecosystem** | **Notes** |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **LangChain, LangGraph, Deep Agents** | **Haystack** | **Core AI orchestration framework for components, pipelines, and agents**. Supports deterministic workflows and agentic execution with explicit, modular building blocks. |\n| **LangSmith (Observability)** | **Haystack Enterprise Platform** | **Integrated tooling for building, debugging and iterating.** Assemble agents and pipelines visually with the **Builder**, which includes component validation, testing and debugging.

The function signature and docstring define the tool's interface, which the LLM uses to understand when and how to invoke each tool.\n\n
\n
\n {`# pip install haystack-ai anthropic-haystack\n\nfrom haystack.tools import tool\n\n# Define tools\n@tool\ndef multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n \"\"\"Multiply \\`a\\` and \\`b\\`.\n\n Args:\n a: First int\n b: Second int\n \"\"\"\n return a * b\n\n@tool\ndef add(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n \"\"\"Adds \\`a\\` and \\`b\\`.\n\n Args:\n a: First int\n b: Second int\n \"\"\"\n return a + b\n\n@tool\ndef divide(a: int, b: int) -> float:\n \"\"\"Divide \\`a\\` and \\`b\\`.\n\n Args:\n a: First int\n b: Second int\n \"\"\"\n return a / b`}\n
\n
\n {`# pip install langchain-anthropic langgraph langchain\n\nfrom langchain.tools import tool\n\n# Define tools\n@tool\ndef multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n \"\"\"Multiply \\`a\\` and \\`b\\`.\n\n Args:\n a: First int\n b: Second int\n \"\"\"\n return a * b\n\n@tool\ndef add(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n \"\"\"Adds \\`a\\` and \\`b\\`.\n\n Args:\n a: First int\n b: Second int\n \"\"\"\n return a + b\n\n@tool\ndef divide(a: int, b: int) -> float:\n \"\"\"Divide \\`a\\` and \\`b\\`.\n\n Args:\n a: First int\n b: Second int\n \"\"\"\n return a / b`}\n
\n
\n\n**Step 2: Initialize the LLM with tools**\n\nBoth frameworks connect tools to the LLM, but with different APIs. In Haystack, tools are passed directly to the `ChatGenerator` component during initialization. In LangGraph, you first initialize the model, then bind tools using `.bind_tools()` to create a tool-enabled LLM instance.\n\n
\n
\n {`from haystack_integrations.components.generators.anthropic import AnthropicChatGenerator\n\n# Augment the LLM with tools\ntools = [add, multiply, divide]\nmodel = AnthropicChatGenerator(\n model=\"claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929\",\n generation_kwargs={\"temperature\": 0},\n tools=tools,\n)`}\n
\n
\n {`from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model\n\n# Augment the LLM with tools\nmodel = init_chat_model(\n \"claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929\",\n temperature=0,\n)\ntools = [add, multiply, divide]\ntools_by_name = {tool.name: tool for tool in tools}\nllm_with_tools = model.bind_tools(tools)`}\n
\n
\n\n**Step 3: Set up message handling and LLM invocation**\n\nThis is where the frameworks diverge more significantly. In Haystack you'll use a custom component (`MessageCollector`) to accumulate conversation history across the agentic loop. LangGraph instead defines a node function (`llm_call`) that operates on `MessagesState` - a built-in state container that automatically manages message history.\n\n
\n
\n {`from typing import Any, Dict, List\n\nfrom haystack import component\nfrom haystack.core.component.types import Variadic\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Components\n\n# Custom component to temporarily store the messages\n@component()\nclass MessageCollector:\n def __init__(self):\n self._messages = []\n\n @component.output_types(messages=List[ChatMessage])\n def run(self, messages: Variadic[List[ChatMessage]]) -> Dict[str, Any]:\n self._messages.extend([msg for inner in messages for msg in inner])\n return {\"messages\": self._messages}\n\n def clear(self):\n self._messages = []\n\nmessage_collector = MessageCollector()`}\n
\n
\n {`from langgraph.graph import MessagesState\nfrom langchain.messages import SystemMessage, ToolMessage\nfrom typing import Literal\n\n# Nodes\ndef llm_call(state: MessagesState):\n # LLM decides whether to call a tool or not\n\n return {\n \"messages\": [\n llm_with_tools.invoke(\n [\n SystemMessage(\n content=\"You are a helpful assistant tasked with performing arithmetic on a set of inputs.\"\n )\n ]\n + state[\"messages\"]\n )\n ]\n }`}\n
\n
\n\n**Step 4: Execute tool calls**\n\nWhen the LLM decides to use a tool, it must be invoked and its result returned. Haystack provides a built-in `ToolInvoker` component that handles this automatically. LangGraph requires you to define a custom node function that iterates over tool calls, invokes each tool, and wraps the results in `ToolMessage` objects.\n\n
\n
\n {`from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n# Tool invoker component to execute a tool call\ntool_invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=tools)`}\n
\n
\n {`def tool_node(state: dict):\n # Performs the tool call\n result = []\n for tool_call in state[\"messages\"][-1].tool_calls:\n tool = tools_by_name[tool_call[\"name\"]]\n observation = tool.invoke(tool_call[\"args\"])\n result.append(ToolMessage(content=observation, tool_call_id=tool_call[\"id\"]))\n return {\"messages\": result}`}\n
\n
\n\n**Step 5: Implement conditional routing logic**\n\nAfter the LLM responds, we need to decide whether to continue the loop (if tools were called) or finish (if the LLM provided a final answer). Haystack uses a `ConditionalRouter` component with declarative route conditions written in Jinja2 templates. LangGraph uses a conditional edge function (`should_continue`) that inspects the state and returns the next node or `END`.\n\n
\n
\n {`from haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\n# ConditionalRouter component to route to the tool invoker or end user based upon whether the LLM made a tool call\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{replies[0].tool_calls | length > 0}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{replies}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"there_are_tool_calls\",\n \"output_type\": List[ChatMessage],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{replies[0].tool_calls | length == 0}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{replies}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"final_replies\",\n \"output_type\": List[ChatMessage],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, unsafe=True)`}\n
\n
\n {`from langgraph.graph import END\n\n# Conditional edge function to route to the tool node or end based upon whether the LLM made a tool call\ndef should_continue(state: MessagesState) -> Literal[\"tool_node\", END]:\n # Decide if we should continue the loop or stop based upon whether the LLM made a tool call\n\n messages = state[\"messages\"]\n last_message = messages[-1]\n\n # If the LLM makes a tool call, then perform an action\n if last_message.tool_calls:\n return \"tool_node\"\n\n # Otherwise, we stop (reply to the user)\n return END`}\n
\n
\n\n**Step 6: Assemble the workflow**\n\nThis is where you wire together all the components or nodes. Haystack uses a `Pipeline` where you explicitly add components and connect their inputs and outputs, creating a directed graph with loops. LangGraph uses a `StateGraph` where you add nodes and edges, then compile the graph into an executable agent. Both approaches achieve the same agentic loop, but with different levels of explicitness.\n\n
\n
\n {`from haystack import Pipeline\n\n# Build pipeline\nagent_pipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components\nagent_pipe.add_component(\"message_collector\", message_collector)\nagent_pipe.add_component(\"llm\", model)\nagent_pipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\nagent_pipe.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", tool_invoker)\n\n# Add connections\nagent_pipe.connect(\"message_collector\", \"llm.messages\")\nagent_pipe.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"router\")\nagent_pipe.connect(\"router.there_are_tool_calls\", \"tool_invoker\") # If there are tool calls, send them to the ToolInvoker\nagent_pipe.connect(\"router.there_are_tool_calls\", \"message_collector\")\nagent_pipe.connect(\"tool_invoker.tool_messages\", \"message_collector\")`}\n
\n
\n {`from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START\n\n# Build workflow\nagent_builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)\n\n# Add nodes\nagent_builder.add_node(\"llm_call\", llm_call)\nagent_builder.add_node(\"tool_node\", tool_node)\n\n# Add edges to connect nodes\nagent_builder.add_edge(START, \"llm_call\")\nagent_builder.add_conditional_edges(\n \"llm_call\",\n should_continue,\n [\"tool_node\", END]\n)\nagent_builder.add_edge(\"tool_node\", \"llm_call\")\n\n# Compile the agent\nagent = agent_builder.compile()`}\n
\n
\n\n**Step 7: Run the agent**\n\nFinally, we execute the agent with a user message. Haystack calls `.run()` on the pipeline with initial messages, while LangGraph calls `.invoke()` on the compiled agent. Both return the conversation history.\n\n
\n
\n {`# Run the pipeline\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(text=\"You are a helpful assistant tasked with performing arithmetic on a set of inputs.\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(text=\"Add 3 and 4.\")\n]\nresult = agent_pipe.run({\"messages\": messages})\nresult`}\n
\n
\n {`from langchain.messages import HumanMessage\n\n# Invoke\nmessages = [\n HumanMessage(content=\"Add 3 and 4.\")\n]\nmessages = agent.invoke({\"messages\": messages})\nfor m in messages[\"messages\"]:\n m.pretty_print()`}\n

If you're new to Haystack, skip this page and proceed directly to Haystack 2.x [documentation](get-started.mdx).\n\n## Major Changes\n\nHaystack 2.x represents a significant overhaul of Haystack 1.x, and it's important to note that certain key concepts outlined in this section don't have a direct correlation between the two versions.\n\n### Package Name\n\nHaystack 1.x was distributed with a package called `farm-haystack`. To migrate your application, you must uninstall `farm-haystack` and install the new `haystack-ai` package for Haystack 2.x.\n\n:::warning\nTwo versions of the project cannot coexist in the same Python environment.\n\nOne of the options is to remove both packages if they are installed in the same environment, followed by installing only one of them:\n\n```bash\npip uninstall -y farm-haystack haystack-ai\npip install haystack-ai\n```\n:::\n\n### Nodes\n\nWhile Haystack 2.x continues to rely on the `Pipeline` abstraction, the elements linked in a pipeline graph are now referred to as just _components_, replacing the terms _nodes_ and _pipeline components_ used in the previous versions. The [_Migrating Components_](#migrating-components) paragraph below outlines which component in Haystack 2.x can be used as a replacement for a specific 1.x node.\n\n### Pipelines\n\nPipelines continue to serve as the fundamental structure of all Haystack applications. While the concept of `Pipeline` abstraction remains consistent, Haystack 2.x introduces significant enhancements that address various limitations of its predecessor. For instance, the pipelines now support loops. Pipelines also offer greater flexibility in their input, which is no longer restricted to queries. The pipeline now allows to route the output of a component to multiple recipients. This increases flexibility, however, comes with notable differences in the pipeline definition process in Haystack 2.x compared to the previous version.\n\nIn Haystack 1.x, a pipeline was built by adding one node after the other. In the resulting pipeline graph, edges are automatically added to connect those nodes in the order they were added.\n\nBuilding a pipeline in Haystack 2.x is a two-step process:\n\n1. Initially, components are added to the pipeline without any specific order by calling the `add_component` method.\n2. Subsequently, the components must be explicitly connected by calling the `connect` method to define the final graph.\n\nTo migrate an existing pipeline, the first step is to go through the nodes and identify their counterparts in Haystack 2.x (see the following section, [_Migrating Components_](#migrating-components), for guidance). If all the nodes can be replaced by corresponding components, they have to be added to the pipeline with `add_component` and explicitly connected with the appropriate calls to `connect`. Here is an example:\n\n**Haystack 1.x**\n\n```python\npipeline = Pipeline()\n\nnode_1 = SomeNode()\nnode_2 = AnotherNode()\n\npipeline.add_node(node_1, name=\"Node_1\", inputs=[\"Query\"])\npipeline.add_node(node_2, name=\"Node_2\", inputs=[\"Node_1\"])\n```\n\n**Haystack 2.x**\n\n```python\npipeline = Pipeline()\n\ncomponent_1 = SomeComponent()\ncomponent_2 = AnotherComponent()\n\npipeline.add_component(\"Comp_1\", component_1)\npipeline.add_component(\"Comp_2\", component_2)\n\npipeline.connect(\"Comp_1\", \"Comp_2\")\n```\n\nIn case a specific replacement component is not available for one of your nodes, migrating the pipeline might still be possible by:\n\n- Either [creating a custom component](../concepts/components/custom-components.mdx), or\n- Changing the pipeline logic, as the last resort.\n\n:::info\nCheck out the [Pipelines](../concepts/pipelines.mdx) section of our 2.x documentation to understand how new pipelines work more granularly.\n:::\n\n### Document Stores\n\nThe fundamental concept of Document Stores as gateways to access text and metadata stored in a database didn’t change in Haystack 2.x, but there are significant differences against Haystack 1.x.\n\nIn Haystack 1.x, Document Stores were a special type of node that you can use in two ways:\n\n- As the last node in an indexing pipeline (such as a pipeline whose ultimate goal is storing data in a database).\n- As a normal Python instance passed to a Retriever node.\n\nIn Haystack 2.x, the Document Store is not a component, so to migrate the two use cases above to version 2.x, you can respectively:\n\n- Replace the Document Store at the end of the pipeline with a [`DocumentWriter`](../pipeline-components/writers/documentwriter.mdx) component.\n- Identify the right Retriever component and create it passing the Document Store instance, same as it is in Haystack 1.x.\n\n### Retrievers\n\nHaystack 1.x provided a set of nodes that filter relevant documents from different data sources according to a given query. Each of those nodes implements a certain retrieval algorithm and supports one or more types of Document Stores. For example, the `BM25Retriever` node in Haystack 1.x can work seamlessly with OpenSearch and Elasticsearch but not with Qdrant; the `EmbeddingRetriever`, on the contrary, can work with all the three databases.\n\nIn Haystack 2.x, the concept is flipped, and each Document Store provides one or more retriever components, depending on which retrieval methods the underlying vector database supports. For example, the `OpenSearchDocumentStore` comes with [two Retriever components](../document-stores/opensearch-document-store.mdx#supported-retrievers), one relying on BM25, and the other on vector similarity.\n\nTo migrate a 1.x retrieval pipeline to 2.x, the first step is to identify the Document Store being used and replace the Retriever node with the corresponding Retriever component from Haystack 2.x with the Document Store of choice. For example, a `BM25Retriever` node using Elasticsearch in a Haystack 1.x pipeline should be replaced with the [`ElasticsearchBM25Retriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/elasticsearchbm25retriever.mdx) component.\n\n### PromptNode\n\nThe `PromptNode` in Haystack 1.x represented the gateway to any Large Language Model (LLM) inference provider, whether it is locally available or remote. Based on the name of the model, Haystack infers the right provider to call and forward the query.\n\nIn Haystack 2.x, the task of using LLMs is assigned to [Generators](../pipeline-components/generators.mdx). These are a set of components that are highly specialized and tailored for each inference provider.\n\nThe first step when migrating a pipeline with a `PromptNode` is to identify the model provider used and to replace the node with two components:\n\n- A Generator component for the model provider of choice,\n- A `PromptBuilder` or `ChatPromptBuilder` component to build the prompt to be used.\n\nThe [_Migration examples_](#migration-examples) section below shows how to port a `PromptNode` using OpenAI with a prompt template to a corresponding Haystack 2.x pipeline using the `OpenAIGenerator` in conjunction with a `PromptBuilder` component.\n\n### Agents\n\nThe agentic approach facilitates the answering of questions that are significantly more complex than those typically addressed by extractive or generative question answering techniques.\n\nHaystack 1.x provided Agents, enabling the use of LLMs in a loop.\n\nCurrently in Haystack 2.x, you can build Agents using three main elements in a pipeline: Chat Generators, ToolInvoker component, and Tools. A standalone Agent abstraction in Haystack 2.x is in an experimental phase.\n\n:::note Agents Documentation Page\n\nTake a look at our 2.x [Agents](../concepts/agents.mdx) documentation page for more information and detailed examples.\n:::\n\n### REST API\n\nHaystack 1.x enabled the deployment of pipelines through a RESTful API over HTTP. This feature is facilitated by a separate application named `rest_api` which is exclusively accessible in the form of a [source code on GitHub](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/tree/v1.x/rest_api).\n\nHaystack 2.x takes the same RESTful approach, but in this case, the application to be used to deploy pipelines is called [Hayhooks](../development/hayhooks.mdx) and can be installed with `pip install hayhooks`.\n\nAt the moment, porting an existing Haystack 1.x deployment using the `rest_api` project to Hayhooks would require a complete rewrite of the application.\n\n## Dependencies\n\nIn order to minimize runtime errors, Haystack 1.x was distributed in a package that’s quite large, as it tries to set up the Python environment with as many dependencies as possible.\n\nIn contrast, Haystack 2.x strives for a more streamlined approach, offering a minimal set of dependencies right out of the box. It features a system that issues a warning when an additional dependency is required, thereby providing the user with the necessary instructions.\n\nTo make sure all the dependencies are satisfied when migrating a Haystack 1.x application to version 2.x, a good strategy is to run end-to-end tests and cover all the execution paths to ensure all the required dependencies are available in the target Python environment.\n\n## Migrating Components\n\nThis table outlines which component (or a group of components) can be used to replace a certain node when porting a Haystack 1.x pipeline to the latest 2.x version. It’s important to note that when a Haystack 2.x replacement is not available, this doesn’t necessarily mean we are planning this feature.\n\nIf you need help migrating a 1.x node without a 2.x counterpart, open an [issue](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues) in Haystack GitHub repository.\n\n### Data Handling\n\n| Haystack 1.x | Description | Haystack 2.x |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Crawler | Scrapes text from websites. **Example usage:** To run searches on your website content. | Not Available |\n| DocumentClassifier | Classifies documents by attaching metadata to them. **Example usage:** Labeling documents by their characteristic (for example, sentiment). | [TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier](../pipeline-components/classifiers/transformerszeroshotdocumentclassifier.mdx) |\n| DocumentLanguageClassifier | Detects the language of the documents you pass to it and adds it to the document metadata. | [DocumentLanguageClassifier](../pipeline-components/classifiers/documentlanguageclassifier.mdx) |\n| EntityExtractor | Extracts predefined entities out of a piece of text. **Example usage:** Named entity extraction (NER). | [NamedEntityExtractor](../pipeline-components/extractors/namedentityextractor.mdx) |\n| FileClassifier | Distinguishes between text, PDF, Markdown, Docx, and HTML files. **Example usage:** Routing files to appropriate converters (for example, it routes PDF files to `PDFToTextConverter`). | [FileTypeRouter](../pipeline-components/routers/filetyperouter.mdx) |\n| FileConverter | Cleans and splits documents in different formats. **Example usage:** In indexing pipelines, extracting text from a file and casting it into the Document class format. | [Converters](../pipeline-components/converters.mdx) |\n| PreProcessor | Cleans and splits documents. **Example usage:** Normalizing white spaces, getting rid of headers and footers, splitting documents into smaller ones. | [PreProcessors](../pipeline-components/preprocessors.mdx) |\n\n### Semantic Search\n\n| Haystack 1.x | Description | Haystack 2.x |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ranker | Orders documents based on how relevant they are to the query. **Example usage:** In a query pipeline, after a keyword-based Retriever to rank the documents it returns. | [Rankers](../pipeline-components/rankers.mdx) |\n| Reader | Finds an answer by selecting a text span in documents. **Example usage:** In a query pipeline when you want to know the location of the answer. | [ExtractiveReader](../pipeline-components/readers/extractivereader.mdx) |\n| Retriever | Fetches relevant documents from the Document Store. **Example usage:** Coupling Retriever with a Reader in a query pipeline to speed up the search (the Reader only goes through the documents it gets from the Retriever). | [Retrievers](../pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx) |\n| QuestionGenerator | When given a document, it generates questions this document can answer. **Example usage:** Auto-suggested questions in your search app. | Prompt [Builders](../pipeline-components/builders.mdx) with dedicated prompt, [Generators](../pipeline-components/generators.mdx) |\n\n### Prompts and LLMs\n\n| Haystack 1.x | Description | Haystack 2.x |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| PromptNode | Uses large language models to perform various NLP tasks in a pipeline or on its own. **Example usage:** It's a very versatile component that can perform tasks like summarization, question answering, translation, and more. | Prompt [Builders](../pipeline-components/builders.mdx),[Generators](../pipeline-components/generators.mdx) |\n\n### Routing\n\n| Haystack 1.x | Description | Haystack 2.x |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| QueryClassifier | Categorizes queries. **Example usage:** Distinguishing between keyword queries and natural language questions and routing them to the Retrievers that can handle them best. | [TransformersZeroShotTextRouter](../pipeline-components/routers/transformerszeroshottextrouter.mdx)

That's why some basic information, like the type of Document Store used, is shared automatically.\n\n## What Information Is Shared?\n\nTelemetry in Haystack comprises anonymous usage statistics of base components, such as `DocumentStore`, `Retriever`, `Reader`, or any other pipeline component. We receive an event every time these components are initialized. This way, we know which components are most relevant to our community. For the same reason, an event is also sent when one of the tutorials is executed.\n\nEach event contains an anonymous, randomly generated user ID (`uuid`) and a collection of properties about your execution environment. They **never** contain properties that can be used to identify you, such as:\n\n- IP addresses\n- Hostnames\n- File paths\n- Queries\n- Document contents\n\nBy taking the above steps, we ensure that only anonymized data is transmitted to our telemetry server.\n\nHere is an exemplary event that is sent when tutorial 1 is executed by running `Tutorial1_Basic_QA_Pipeline.py`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"event\": \"tutorial 1 executed\",\n \"distinct_id\": \"9baab867-3bc8-438c-9974-a192c9d53cd1\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"os_family\": \"Darwin\",\n \"os_machine\": \"arm64\",\n \"os_version\": \"21.3.0\",\n \"haystack_version\": \"1.0.0\",\n \"python_version\": \"3.9.6\",\n \"torch_version\": \"1.9.0\",\n \"transformers_version\": \"4.13.0\",\n \"execution_env\": \"script\",\n \"n_gpu\": 0,\n },\n}\n```\n\nOur telemetry code can be directly inspected on [GitHub](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/5d66d040cc303ab49225587cd61290f1987a5d1f/haystack/telemetry/_telemetry.py).\n\n## How Does Telemetry Help?\n\nThanks to telemetry, we can understand the needs of the community: _\"What pipeline nodes are most popular?\", \"Should we focus on supporting one specific Document Store?\", \"How many people use Haystack on Windows?\"_ are some of the questions telemetry helps us answer. Metadata about the operating system and installed dependencies allows us to quickly identify and address issues caused by specific setups.\n\nIn short, by sharing this information, you enable us to continuously improve Haystack for everyone.\n\n## How Can I Opt Out?\n\nYou can disable telemetry with one of the following methods:\n\n### Through an Environment Variable\n\nYou can disable telemetry by setting the environment variable `HAYSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED` to `\"False\"` .\n\n### Using a Bash Shell\n\nIf you are using a bash shell, add the following line to the file `~/.bashrc` to disable telemetry: `export HAYSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=False`.\n\n### Using zsh\n\nIf you are using zsh as your shell, for example, on macOS, add the following line to the file `~/.zshrc`: `export HAYSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=False`.\n\n### On Windows\n\nTo disable telemetry on Windows, set a user-level environment variable by running this command in the standard command prompt: `setx HAYSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED \"False\"`.\n\nAlternatively, run the following command in Windows PowerShell: `[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(\"HAYSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED\",\"False\",\"User\")`.\n\nYou might need to restart the operating system for the command to take effect.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Agent\"\nid: agent\nslug: \"/agent\"\ndescription: \"The `Agent` component is a tool-using agent that interacts with chat-based LLMs and tools to solve complex queries iteratively.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `Agent` component is a loop-based system that uses a chat-based large language model (LLM) and external tools to solve complex user queries. It works iteratively—calling tools, updating state, and generating prompts—until one of the configurable `exit_conditions` is met.\n\nIt can:\n\n- Dynamically select tools based on user input,\n- Maintain and validate runtime state using a schema,\n- Stream token-level outputs from the LLM.\n\nThe `Agent` returns a dictionary containing:\n\n- `messages`: the full conversation history,\n- Additional dynamic keys based on `state_schema`.\n\n### Parameters\n\nTo initialize the `Agent` component, you need to provide it with an instance of a Chat Generator that supports tools. You can pass a list of [tools](../../tools/tool.mdx) or [`ComponentTool`](../../tools/componenttool.mdx) instances, or wrap them in a [`Toolset`](../../tools/toolset.mdx) to manage them as a group.\n\nYou can additionally configure:\n\n- A `system_prompt` for your Agent,\n- A list of `exit_conditions` strings that will cause the agent to return. Can be either:\n - “text”, which means that the Agent will exit as soon as the LLM replies only with a text response,\n - or specific tool names.\n- A `state_schema` for one agent invocation run. It defines extra information – such as documents or context – that tools can read from or write to during execution. You can use this schema to pass parameters that tools can both produce and consume.\n- `streaming_callback` to stream the tokens from the LLM directly in output.\n\n:::info\nFor a complete list of available parameters, refer to the [Agents API Documentation](/reference/agents-api).\n:::\n\n### Agents as Tools\n\nYou can wrap an `Agent` using [`ComponentTool`](../../tools/componenttool.mdx) to create multi-agent systems where specialized agents act as tools for a coordinator agent.\n\nWhen wrapping an `Agent` as a `ComponentTool`, use the `outputs_to_string` parameter with `{\"source\": \"last_message\"}` to extract only the agent's final response text, rather than the execution trace with tool calls to keep the coordinator agent's context clean and focused.\n\n```python\n## Wrap the agent as a ComponentTool with outputs_to_string\nresearch_tool = ComponentTool(\n component=research_agent, # another agent component\n name=\"research_specialist\",\n description=\"A specialist that can research topics from the knowledge base\",\n outputs_to_string={\"source\": \"last_message\"}, ## Extract only the final response\n)\n\n## Create a coordinator agent that uses the specialist\ncoordinator_agent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"),\n tools=[research_tool],\n system_prompt=\"You are a coordinator that delegates research tasks to a specialist.\",\n exit_conditions=[\"text\"],\n)\n\n## Run\nresult = coordinator_agent.run(\n messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about Haystack\")],\n)\n\nprint(result[\"last_message\"].text)\n```\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it’s generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`.\nUse the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure the Agent with a streaming callback\ncoordinator_agent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"),\n tools=[research_tool],\n system_prompt=\"You are a coordinator that delegates research tasks to a specialist.\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk,\n)\n```\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](../generators/guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nGive preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools.tool import Tool\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\n\n\n## Tool Function\ndef calculate(expression: str) -> dict:\n try:\n result = eval(expression, {\"__builtins__\": {}})\n return {\"result\": result}\n except Exception as e:\n return {\"error\": str(e)}\n\n\n## Tool Definition\ncalculator_tool = Tool(\n name=\"calculator\",\n description=\"Evaluate basic math expressions.\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"expression\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"description\": \"Math expression to evaluate\",\n },\n },\n \"required\": [\"expression\"],\n },\n function=calculate,\n outputs_to_state={\"calc_result\": {\"source\": \"result\"}},\n)\n\n## Agent Setup\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[calculator_tool],\n exit_conditions=[\"calculator\"],\n state_schema={\"calc_result\": {\"type\": int}},\n)\n\n## Run the Agent\nresponse = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is 7 * (4 + 2)?\")])\n\n## Output\nprint(response[\"messages\"])\nprint(\"Calc Result:\", response.get(\"calc_result\"))\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe example pipeline below creates a database assistant using `OpenAIChatGenerator`, `LinkContentFetcher`, and custom database tool. It reads the given URL and processes the page content, then builds a prompt for the AI. The assistant uses this information to write people's names and titles from the given page to the database.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.converters.html import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers.link_content import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.core.pipeline import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import tool\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom typing import Optional\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, Document\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore() # create a document store or an SQL database\n\n\n@tool\ndef add_database_tool(\n name: str,\n surname: str,\n job_title: Optional[str],\n other: Optional[str],\n):\n \"\"\"Use this tool to add names to the database with information about them\"\"\"\n document_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(\n content=name + \" \" + surname + \" \" + (job_title or \"\"),\n meta={\"other\": other},\n ),\n ],\n )\n return\n\n\ndatabase_assistant = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"),\n tools=[add_database_tool],\n system_prompt=\"\"\"\n You are a database assistant.\n Your task is to extract the names of people mentioned in the given context and add them to a knowledge base,\n along with additional relevant information about them that can be extracted from the context.\n Do not use you own knowledge, stay grounded to the given context.\n Do not ask the user for confirmation.\n Instead, automatically update the knowledge base and return a brief summary of the people added,\n including the information stored for each.\n \"\"\",\n exit_conditions=[\"text\"],\n max_agent_steps=100,\n raise_on_tool_invocation_failure=False,\n)\n\nextraction_agent = Pipeline()\nextraction_agent.add_component(\"fetcher\", LinkContentFetcher())\nextraction_agent.add_component(\"converter\", HTMLToDocument())\nextraction_agent.add_component(\n \"builder\",\n ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"\"\"\n {% for doc in docs %}\n {{ doc.content|default|truncate(25000) }}\n {% endfor %}\n \"\"\"),\n ],\n required_variables=[\"docs\"],\n ),\n)\n\nextraction_agent.add_component(\"database_agent\", database_assistant)\nextraction_agent.connect(\"fetcher.streams\", \"converter.sources\")\nextraction_agent.connect(\"converter.documents\", \"builder.docs\")\nextraction_agent.connect(\"builder\", \"database_agent\")\n\nagent_output = extraction_agent.run(\n {\"fetcher\": {\"urls\": [\"https://haystack.deepset.ai/release-notes/v2.20.0\"]}},\n)\n\nprint(agent_output[\"database_agent\"][\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Build a GitHub Issue Resolver Agent](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/github_issue_resolver_agent)\n\n📓 Tutorials:\n- [Build a Tool-Calling Agent](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/43_building_a_tool_calling_agent)\n- [Creating a Multi-Agent System](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/45_creating_a_multi_agent_system)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/audio/external-integrations-audio.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"External Integrations\"\nid: external-integrations-audio\nslug: \"/external-integrations-audio\"\ndescription: \"External integrations that enable working with audio in Haystack by transcribing files or converting text to audio.\"\n---\n\n# External Integrations\n\nExternal integrations that enable working with audio in Haystack by transcribing files or converting text to audio.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [AssemblyAI](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/assemblyai) | Perform speech recognition, speaker diarization and summarization. |\n| [Elevenlabs](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/elevenlabs) | Convert text to speech using ElevenLabs’ API. |\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/audio/localwhispertranscriber.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"LocalWhisperTranscriber\"\nid: localwhispertranscriber\nslug: \"/localwhispertranscriber\"\ndescription: \"Use `LocalWhisperTranscriber` to transcribe audio files using OpenAI's Whisper model using your local installation of Whisper.\"\n---\n\n# LocalWhisperTranscriber\n\nUse `LocalWhisperTranscriber` to transcribe audio files using OpenAI's Whisper model using your local installation of Whisper.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe component also needs to know which Whisper model to work with. Specify this in the `model` parameter when initializing the component. All transcription is completed on the executing machine, and the audio is never sent to a third-party provider.\n\nSee other optional parameters you can specify in our [API documentation](/reference/audio-api).\n\nSee the [Whisper API documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text) and the official Whisper [GitHub repo](https://github.com/openai/whisper) for the supported audio formats and languages.\n\nTo work with the `LocalWhisperTranscriber`, install torch and [Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) first with the following commands:\n\n```python\npip install 'transformers[torch]'\npip install -U openai-whisper\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere’s an example of how to use `LocalWhisperTranscriber` on its own:\n\n```python\nimport requests\nfrom haystack.components.audio import LocalWhisperTranscriber\n\nresponse = requests.get(\n \"https://ia903102.us.archive.org/19/items/100-Best--Speeches/EK_19690725_64kb.mp3\",\n)\nwith open(\"kennedy_speech.mp3\", \"wb\") as file:\n file.write(response.content)\n\ntranscriber = LocalWhisperTranscriber(model=\"tiny\")\n\ntranscription = transcriber.run(sources=[\"./kennedy_speech.mp3\"])\nprint(transcription[\"documents\"][0].content)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe pipeline below fetches an audio file from a specified URL and transcribes it.

For example, [Groq](https://console.groq.com/docs/speech-text) offers a drop-in replacement that can be used as well. You can set the API key in one of two ways:\n\n1. Through the `api_key` initialization parameter, where the key is resolved using [Secret API](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n2. By setting it in the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable, which the system will use to access the key.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.audio import RemoteWhisperTranscriber\n\ntranscriber = RemoteWhisperTranscriber()\n```\n\nAdditionally, the component requires the following parameters to work:\n\n- `model` specifies the Whisper model.\n- `api_base_url` specifies the OpenAI base URL and defaults to `\"https://api.openai.com/v1\"`. If you are using Whisper provider other than OpenAI set this parameter according to provider's documentation.\n\nSee other optional parameters in our [API documentation](/reference/audio-api).\n\nSee the [Whisper API documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text) and the official Whisper [GitHub repo](https://github.com/openai/whisper) for the supported audio formats and languages.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere’s an example of how to use `RemoteWhisperTranscriber` to transcribe a local file:\n\n```python\nimport requests\nfrom haystack.components.audio import RemoteWhisperTranscriber\n\nresponse = requests.get(\n \"https://ia903102.us.archive.org/19/items/100-Best--Speeches/EK_19690725_64kb.mp3\",\n)\nwith open(\"kennedy_speech.mp3\", \"wb\") as file:\n file.write(response.content)\n\ntranscriber = RemoteWhisperTranscriber()\ntranscription = transcriber.run(sources=[\"./kennedy_speech.mp3\"])\n\nprint(transcription[\"documents\"][0].content)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe pipeline below fetches an audio file from a specified URL and transcribes it. It first retrieves the audio file using `LinkContentFetcher`, then transcribes the audio into text with `RemoteWhisperTranscriber`, and finally outputs the transcription text.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.audio import RemoteWhisperTranscriber\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"fetcher\", LinkContentFetcher())\npipe.add_component(\"transcriber\", RemoteWhisperTranscriber())\n\npipe.connect(\"fetcher\", \"transcriber\")\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"fetcher\": {\n \"urls\": [\n \"https://ia903102.us.archive.org/19/items/100-Best--Speeches/EK_19690725_64kb.mp3\",\n ],\n },\n },\n)\nprint(result[\"transcriber\"][\"documents\"][0].content)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Multilingual RAG from a podcast with Whisper, Qdrant and Mistral](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/multilingual_rag_podcast)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/audio.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Audio\"\nid: audio\nslug: \"/audio\"\ndescription: \"Use these components to work with audio in Haystack by transcribing files or converting text to audio.\"\n---\n\n# Audio\n\nUse these components to work with audio in Haystack by transcribing files or converting text to audio.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [LocalWhisperTranscriber](audio/localwhispertranscriber.mdx) | Transcribe audio files using OpenAI's Whisper model using your local installation of Whisper. |\n| [RemoteWhisperTranscriber](audio/remotewhispertranscriber.mdx) | Transcribe audio files using OpenAI's Whisper model. |" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/builders/answerbuilder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AnswerBuilder\"\nid: answerbuilder\nslug: \"/answerbuilder\"\ndescription: \"Use this component in pipelines that contain a Generator to parse its replies.\"\n---\n\n# AnswerBuilder\n\nUse this component in pipelines that contain a Generator to parse its replies.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AnswerBuilder` takes a query and the replies a Generator returns as input and parses them into `GeneratedAnswer` objects. Optionally, it also takes documents and metadata from the Generator as inputs to enrich the `GeneratedAnswer` objects.\n\nThe `AnswerBuilder` works with both Chat and non-Chat Generators.\n\nThe optional `pattern` parameter defines how to extract answer texts from replies. It needs to be a regular expression with a maximum of one capture group. If a capture group is present, the text matched by the capture group is used as the answer. If no capture group is present, the whole match is used as the answer. If no `pattern` is set, the whole reply is used as the answer text.\n\nThe optional `reference_pattern` parameter can be set to a regular expression that parses referenced documents from the replies so that only those referenced documents are listed in the `GeneratedAnswer` objects. Haystack assumes that documents are referenced by their index in the list of input documents and that indices start at 1. For example, if you set the `reference_pattern` to _`\\\\[(\\\\d+)\\\\]`,_ it finds “1” in a string \"This is an answer[1]\". If `reference_pattern` is not set, all input documents are listed in the `GeneratedAnswer` objects.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where we’re using the `AnswerBuilder` to parse a string that could be the reply received from a Generator using a custom regular expression. Any text other than the answer will not be included in the `GeneratedAnswer` object constructed by the builder.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import AnswerBuilder\n\nbuilder = AnswerBuilder(pattern=\"Answer: (.*)\")\nbuilder.run(\n query=\"What's the answer?\",\n replies=[\"This is an argument.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `ChatPromptBuilder` component creates prompts using static or dynamic templates written in [Jinja2](https://palletsprojects.com/p/jinja/) syntax, by processing a list of chat messages or a special string template. The templates contain placeholders like `{{ variable }}` that are filled with values provided during runtime. You can use it for static prompts set at initialization or change the templates and variables dynamically while running.\n\nTo use it, start by providing a list of `ChatMessage` objects or a special string as the template.\n\n[`ChatMessage`](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) is a data class that includes message content, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `tool`), and optional metadata.\n\nThe builder looks for placeholders in the template and identifies the required variables. You can also list these variables manually. During runtime, the `run` method takes the template and the variables, fills in the placeholders, and returns the completed prompt. If required variables are missing. If the template is invalid, the builder raises an error.\n\nFor example, you can create a simple translation prompt:\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}: {{ text }}\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nresult = builder.run(target_language=\"French\", text=\"Hello, how are you?\")\n```\n\nOr you can also replace the template at runtime with a new one:\n\n```python\nnew_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Summarize in {{ target_language }}: {{ content }}\"),\n]\nresult = builder.run(\n template=new_template,\n target_language=\"English\",\n content=\"A detailed paragraph.\",\n)\n```\n\n### Variables\n\nThe template variables found in the init template are used as input types for the component. If there are no `required_vairables` set, all variables are considered optional by default. In this case, any missing variables are replaced with empty strings, which can lead to unintended behavior, especially in complex pipelines.\n\nUse `required_variables` and `variables` to specify the input types and required variables:\n\n- `required_variables`\n - Defines which template variables must be provided when the component runs.\n - If any required variable is missing, the component raises an error and halts execution.\n - You can:\n - Pass a list of required variable names (such as `[\"name\"]`), or\n - Use `\"*\"` to mark all variables in the template as required.\n\n- `variables`\n - Lists all variables that can appear in the template, whether required or optional.\n - Optional variables that aren't provided are replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n - This allows partial prompts to be constructed without errors, unless a variable is marked as required.\n\nIn the example below, only _name_ is required to run the component, while _topic_ is only an optional variable:\n\n```python\ntemplate = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello, {{ name }}. How can I assist you with {{ topic }}?\"),\n]\n\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=template,\n required_variables=[\"name\"],\n variables=[\"name\", \"topic\"],\n)\n\nresult = builder.run(name=\"Alice\")\n## Output: \"Hello, Alice. How can I assist you with ?\"\n```\n\nThe component only waits for the required inputs before running.\n\n### Roles\n\nA [`ChatMessage`](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) represents a single message in the conversation and can have one of three class methods that build the chat messages: `from_user`, `from_system`, or `from_assistant`. `from_user` messages are inputs provided by the user, such as a query or request. `from_system` messages provide context or instructions to guide the LLM’s behavior, such as setting a tone or purpose for the conversation. `from_assistant` defines the expected or actual response from the LLM.\n\nHere’s how the roles work together in a `ChatPromptBuilder`:\n\n```python\nsystem_message = ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You are an assistant helping tourists in {{ language }}.\",\n)\n\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are the best places to visit in {{ city }}?\")\n\nassistant_message = ChatMessage.from_assistant(\n \"The best places to visit in {{ city }} include the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Montmartre.\",\n)\n```\n\n### String Templates\n\nInstead of a list of `ChatMessage` objects, you can also express the template as a special string.\n\nThis template format allows you to define `ChatMessage` sequences using Jinja2 syntax. Each `{% message %}` block defines a single message with a specific role, and you can insert dynamic content using `{{ variables }}`.\n\nCompared to using a list of `ChatMessage`s, this format is more flexible and allows including structured parts like images in the templatized `ChatMessage`; to better understand this use case, check out the [multimodal example](#multimodal) in the Usage section below.\n\n### Jinja2 Time Extension\n\n`PromptBuilder` supports the Jinja2 TimeExtension, which allows you to work with datetime formats.\n\nThe Time Extension provides two main features:\n\n1. A `now` tag that gives you access to the current time,\n2. Date/time formatting capabilities through Python's datetime module.\n\nTo use the Jinja2 TimeExtension, you need to install a dependency with:\n\n```shell\npip install arrow>=1.3.0\n```\n\n#### The `now` Tag\n\nThe `now` tag creates a datetime object representing the current time, which you can then store in a variable:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now 'utc' as current_time %}\nThe current UTC time is: {{ current_time }}\n```\n\nYou can specify different timezones:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now 'America/New_York' as ny_time %}\nThe time in New York is: {{ ny_time }}\n```\n\nIf you don't specify a timezone, your system's local timezone will be used:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now as local_time %}\nLocal time: {{ local_time }}\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\nYou can format the datetime objects using Python's `strftime` syntax:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now as current_time %}\nFormatted date: {{ current_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}\n```\n\nThe common format codes are:\n\n- `%Y`: 4-digit year (for example, 2025)\n- `%m`: Month as a zero-padded number (01-12)\n- `%d`: Day as a zero-padded number (01-31)\n- `%H`: Hour (24-hour clock) as a zero-padded number (00-23)\n- `%M`: Minute as a zero-padded number (00-59)\n- `%S`: Second as a zero-padded number (00-59)\n\n#### Example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Current date is: {% now 'UTC' %}\"),\n ChatMessage.from_assistant(\"Thank you for providing the date\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Yesterday was: {% now 'UTC' - 'days=1' %}\"),\n]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\n\nresult = builder.run()[\"prompt\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n#### With static template\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\",\n ),\n]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### With special string template\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello, my name is {{name}}!\n{% endmessage %}\n\"\"\"\n\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nresult = builder.run(name=\"John\")\n\nassert result[\"prompt\"] == [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello, my name is John!\")]\n```\n\n#### Specifying name and meta in a ChatMessage\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\n{% message role=\"user\" name=\"John\" meta={\"key\": \"value\"} %}\nHello from {{country}}!\n{% endmessage %}\n\"\"\"\n\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nresult = builder.run(country=\"Italy\")\nassert result[\"prompt\"] == [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello from Italy!\", name=\"John\", meta={\"key\": \"value\"}),\n]\n```\n\n#### Multiple ChatMessages with different roles\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\n{% message role=\"system\" %}\nYou are a {{adjective}} assistant.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello, my name is {{name}}!\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"assistant\" %}\nHello, {{name}}! How can I help you today?\n{% endmessage %}\n\"\"\"\n\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nresult = builder.run(name=\"John\", adjective=\"helpful\")\nassert result[\"prompt\"] == [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"You are a helpful assistant.\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello, my name is John!\"),\n ChatMessage.from_assistant(\"Hello, John! How can I help you today?\"),\n]\n```\n\n#### Overriding static template at runtime\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntemplate = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\",\n ),\n]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nsummary_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize. Context: {{ snippet }}; Summary:\",\n ),\n]\nbuilder.run(\n target_language=\"spanish\",\n snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\",\n template=summary_template,\n)\n```\n\n#### Multimodal\n\nThe `| templatize_part` filter in the example below tells the template engine to insert structured (non-text) objects, such as images, into the message content. These are treated differently from plain text and are rendered as special content parts in the final `ChatMessage`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\n{% message role=\"user\" meta={\"key\": \"value\"}%}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. What's the difference between the following images?\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n\"\"\"\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nimages = [\n ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\"),\n ImageContent.from_file_path(\"kiwi.jpg\"),\n]\nresult = builder.run(user_name=\"John\", images=images)\n\nassert result[\"prompt\"] == [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\n \"Hello! I am John. What's the difference between the following images?\",\n *images,\n ],\n meta={\"key\": \"value\"},\n ),\n]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\n## no parameter init, we don't use any runtime template variables\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder()\nllm = OpenAIChatGenerator()\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nlocation = \"Berlin\"\nlanguage = \"English\"\nsystem_message = ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You are an assistant giving information to tourists in {{language}}\",\n)\nmessages = [system_message, ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\")]\n\nres = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": location, \"language\": language},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\nprint(res)\n```\n\nThen, you could ask about the weather forecast for the said location. The `ChatPromptBuilder` fills in the template with the new `day_count` variable and passes it to an LLM once again:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\n## no parameter init, we don't use any runtime template variables\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder()\nllm = OpenAIChatGenerator()\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nlocation = \"Berlin\"\n\nmessages = [\n system_message,\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"What's the weather forecast for {{location}} in the next {{day_count}} days?\",\n ),\n]\nres = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": location, \"day_count\": \"5\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\n\nprint(res)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Advanced Prompt Customization for Anthropic](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/prompt_customization_for_anthropic)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/builders/promptbuilder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PromptBuilder\"\nid: promptbuilder\nslug: \"/promptbuilder\"\ndescription: \"Use this component in pipelines before a Generator to render a prompt template and fill in variable values.\"\n---\n\n# PromptBuilder\n\nUse this component in pipelines before a Generator to render a prompt template and fill in variable values.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`PromptBuilder` is initialized with a prompt template and renders it by filling in parameters passed through keyword arguments, `kwargs`. With `kwargs`, you can pass a variable number of keyword arguments so that any variable used in the prompt template can be specified with the desired value. Values for all variables appearing in the prompt template need to be provided through the `kwargs`.\n\nThe template that is provided to the `PromptBuilder` during initialization needs to conform to the [Jinja2](https://palletsprojects.com/p/jinja/) template language.\n\n### Variables\n\nThe template variables found in the init template are used as input types for the component. If there are no `required_variables` set, all variables are considered optional by default. In this case, any missing variables are replaced with empty strings, which can lead to unintended behavior, especially in complex pipelines.\n\nUse `required_variables` and `variables` to specify the input types and required variables:\n\n- `required_variables`\n - Defines which template variables must be provided when the component runs.\n - If any required variable is missing, the component raises an error and halts execution.\n - You can:\n - Pass a list of required variable names (such as `[\"query\"]`), or\n - Use `\"*\"` to mark all variables in the template as required.\n\n- `variables`\n - Lists all variables that can appear in the template, whether required or optional.\n - Optional variables that aren't provided are replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n - This allows partial prompts to be constructed without errors, unless a variable is marked as required.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\n## All variables optional (default to empty string)\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(\n template=\"Hello {{name}}! {{greeting}}\",\n required_variables=[], # or omit this parameter entirely\n)\n\n## Some variables required\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(\n template=\"Hello {{name}}! {{greeting}}\",\n required_variables=[\"name\"], # 'greeting' remains optional\n)\n```\n\nThe component only waits for the required inputs before running.\n\n### Jinja2 Time Extension\n\n`PromptBuilder` supports the Jinja2 TimeExtension, which allows you to work with datetime formats.\n\nThe Time Extension provides two main features:\n\n1. A `now` tag that gives you access to the current time,\n2. Date/time formatting capabilities through Python's datetime module.\n\nTo use the Jinja2 TimeExtension, you need to install a dependency with:\n\n```shell\npip install arrow>=1.3.0\n```\n\n#### The `now` Tag\n\nThe `now` tag creates a datetime object representing the current time, which you can then store in a variable:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now 'utc' as current_time %}\nThe current UTC time is: {{ current_time }}\n```\n\nYou can specify different timezones:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now 'America/New_York' as ny_time %}\nThe time in New York is: {{ ny_time }}\n```\n\nIf you don't specify a timezone, your system's local timezone will be used:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now as local_time %}\nLocal time: {{ local_time }}\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\nYou can format the datetime objects using Python's `strftime` syntax:\n\n```jinja2\n{% now as current_time %}\nFormatted date: {{ current_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}\n```\n\nThe common format codes are:\n\n- `%Y`: 4-digit year (for example, 2025)\n- `%m`: Month as a zero-padded number (01-12)\n- `%d`: Day as a zero-padded number (01-31)\n- `%H`: Hour (24-hour clock) as a zero-padded number (00-23)\n- `%M`: Minute as a zero-padded number (00-59)\n- `%S`: Second as a zero-padded number (00-59)\n\n#### Example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\n## Define template using Jinja-style formatting\ntemplate = \"\"\"\nCurrent date is: {% now 'UTC' %}\nThank you for providing the date\nYesterday was: {% now 'UTC' - 'days=1' %}\n\"\"\"\n\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\n\nresult = builder.run()[\"prompt\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example of using the `PromptBuilder` to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language` and `snippet`. The PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string `Translate the following context to spanish. Context: I can't speak spanish.; Translation:`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a RAG pipeline where we use a `PromptBuilder` to render a custom prompt template and fill it with the contents of retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n## in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\"),\n]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n \\nQuestion: {{query}}\n \\nAnswer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(\n instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")),\n name=\"llm\",\n)\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (Prompt Engineering)\n\n`PromptBuilder` allows you to switch the prompt template of an existing pipeline. The example below builds on top of the existing pipeline in the previous section. We are invoking the existing pipeline with a new prompt template:\n\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run(\n {\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n },\n)\n```\n\nIf you want to use different variables during prompt engineering than in the default template, you can do so by setting `PromptBuilder`'s variables init parameter accordingly.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nIn case you want to overwrite the values of variables, you can use `template_variables` during runtime, as shown below:\n\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Please provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run(\n {\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n },\n)\n```\n\nNote that `language_template` introduces `answer_language` variable which is not bound to any pipeline variable. If not set otherwise, it would use its default value, \"English\". In this example, we overwrite its value to \"German\".\nThe `template_variables` allows you to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks:\n\n- [Advanced Prompt Customization for Anthropic](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/prompt_customization_for_anthropic)\n- [Prompt Optimization with DSPy](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/prompt_optimization_with_dspy)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/builders.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Builders\"\nid: builders\nslug: \"/builders\"\n---\n\n# Builders\n\n| Component | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [AnswerBuilder](builders/answerbuilder.mdx) | Creates `GeneratedAnswer` objects from the query and the answer. |\n| [PromptBuilder](builders/promptbuilder.mdx) | Renders prompt templates with given parameters. |\n| [ChatPromptBuilder](builders/chatpromptbuilder.mdx) | PromptBuilder for chat messages. |\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/caching/cachechecker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CacheChecker\"\nid: cachechecker\nslug: \"/cachechecker\"\ndescription: \"This component checks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified cache field.\"\n---\n\n# CacheChecker\n\nThis component checks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified cache field.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentLanguageClassifier` classifies the language of documents and adds the detected language to their metadata. If a document's text does not match any of the languages specified at initialization, it is classified as \"unmatched\". By default, the classifier classifies for English (”en”) documents, with the rest being classified as “unmatched”.\n\nThe set of supported languages can be specified in the init method with the `languages` variable, using ISO codes.\n\nTo route your documents to various branches of the pipeline based on the language, use `MetadataRouter` component right after `DocumentLanguageClassifier`.\n\nFor classifying and then routing plain text using the same logic, use the `TextLanguageRouter` component instead.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `langdetect`package to use the `DocumentLanguageClassifier`component:\n\n```shell shell\npip install langdetect\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow, we are using the `DocumentLanguageClassifier` to classify English and German documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.classifiers import DocumentLanguageClassifier\nfrom haystack import Document\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Mein Name ist Jean und ich wohne in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"Mein Name ist Mark und ich wohne in Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"Mein Name ist Giorgio und ich wohne in Rome.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Pierre and I live in Paris\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Paul and I live in Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Alessia and I live in Rome.\"),\n]\n\ndocument_classifier = DocumentLanguageClassifier(languages=[\"en\", \"de\"])\ndocument_classifier.run(documents=documents)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow, we are using the `DocumentLanguageClassifier` in an indexing pipeline that indexes English and German documents into two difference indexes in an `InMemoryDocumentStore`, using embedding models for each language.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.classifiers import DocumentLanguageClassifier\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter\n\ndocument_store_en = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store_de = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\ndocument_classifier = DocumentLanguageClassifier(languages=[\"en\", \"de\"])\nmetadata_router = MetadataRouter(\n rules={\"en\": {\"language\": {\"$eq\": \"en\"}}, \"de\": {\"language\": {\"$eq\": \"de\"}}},\n)\nenglish_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ngerman_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"PM-AI/bi-encoder_msmarco_bert-base_german\",\n)\nen_writer = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store_en)\nde_writer = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store_de)\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(document_classifier, name=\"document_classifier\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(metadata_router, name=\"metadata_router\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(english_embedder, name=\"english_embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(german_embedder, name=\"german_embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(en_writer, name=\"en_writer\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(de_writer, name=\"de_writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"document_classifier.documents\", \"metadata_router.documents\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"metadata_router.en\", \"english_embedder.documents\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"metadata_router.de\", \"german_embedder.documents\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"english_embedder\", \"en_writer\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"german_embedder\", \"de_writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"document_classifier\": {\n \"documents\": [\n Document(content=\"This is an English sentence.\"),\n Document(content=\"Dies ist ein deutscher Satz.\"),\n ],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/classifiers/transformerszeroshotdocumentclassifier.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier\"\nid: transformerszeroshotdocumentclassifier\nslug: \"/transformerszeroshotdocumentclassifier\"\ndescription: \"Classifies the documents based on the provided labels and adds them to their metadata.\"\n---\n\n# TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier\n\nClassifies the documents based on the provided labels and adds them to their metadata.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier` component performs zero-shot classification of documents based on the labels that you set and adds the predicted label to their metadata.\n\nThe component uses a Hugging Face pipeline for zero-shot classification.\nTo initialize the component, provide the model and the set of labels to be used for categorization.\nYou can additionally configure the component to allow multiple labels to be true with the `multi_label` boolean set to True.\n\nClassification is run on the document's content field by default. If you want it to run on another field, set the`classification_field` to one of the document's metadata fields.\n\nThe classification results are stored in the `classification` dictionary within each document's metadata. If `multi_label` is set to `True`, you will find the scores for each label under the `details` key within the `classification` dictionary.\n\nAvailable models for the task of zero-shot-classification are:\n - `valhalla/distilbart-mnli-12-3`\n - `cross-encoder/nli-distilroberta-base`\n - `cross-encoder/nli-deberta-v3-xsmall`\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.classifiers import TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(id=\"0\", content=\"Cats don't get teeth cavities.\"),\n Document(id=\"1\", content=\"Cucumbers can be grown in water.\"),\n]\n\ndocument_classifier = TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier(\n model=\"cross-encoder/nli-deberta-v3-xsmall\",\n labels=[\"animals\", \"food\"],\n)\n\ndocument_classifier.run(documents=documents)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe following is a pipeline that classifies documents based on predefined classification labels\nretrieved from a search pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.core.pipeline import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.classifiers import TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(id=\"0\", content=\"Today was a nice day!\"),\n Document(id=\"1\", content=\"Yesterday was a bad day!\"),\n]\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\ndocument_classifier = TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier(\n model=\"cross-encoder/nli-deberta-v3-xsmall\",\n labels=[\"positive\", \"negative\"],\n)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(retriever, name=\"retriever\")\npipeline.add_component(document_classifier, name=\"document_classifier\")\npipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"document_classifier\")\n\nqueries = [\"How was your day today?\", \"How was your day yesterday?\"]\nexpected_predictions = [\"positive\", \"negative\"]\n\nfor idx, query in enumerate(queries):\n result = pipeline.run({\"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 1}})\n classified_docs = result[\"document_classifier\"][\"documents\"]\n assert classified_docs[0].id == str(idx)\n assert (\n classified_docs[0].meta[\"classification\"][\"label\"] == expected_predictions[idx]\n )\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/classifiers.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Classifiers\"\nid: classifiers\nslug: \"/classifiers\"\ndescription: \"Use Classifiers to classify your documents by specific traits and update the metadata.\"\n---\n\n# Classifiers\n\nUse Classifiers to classify your documents by specific traits and update the metadata.\n\n| Classifier | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [DocumentLanguageClassifier](classifiers/documentlanguageclassifier.mdx) | Classify documents by language. |\n| [TransformersZeroShotDocumentClassifier](classifiers/transformerszeroshotdocumentclassifier.mdx) | Classify the documents based on the provided labels. |\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/connectors/external-integrations-connectors.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"External Integrations\"\nid: external-integrations-connectors\nslug: \"/external-integrations-connectors\"\ndescription: \"External integrations that connect your pipelines to services by external providers.\"\n---\n\n# External Integrations\n\nExternal integrations that connect your pipelines to services by external providers.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [Arize AI](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/arize) | Trace and evaluate your Haystack pipelines with Arize AI. |\n| [Arize Phoenix](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/arize-phoenix) | Trace and evaluate your Haystack pipelines with Arize Phoenix. |\n| [Context AI](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/context-ai) | Log conversations for analytics by Context.ai |\n| [Opik](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/opik) | Trace and evaluate your Haystack pipelines with Opik platform. |\n| [Traceloop](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/traceloop) | Evaluate and monitor the quality of your LLM apps and agents |\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/connectors/githubfileeditor.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"GitHubFileEditor\"\nid: githubfileeditor\nslug: \"/githubfileeditor\"\ndescription: \"This is a component for editing files in GitHub repositories through the GitHub API.\"\n---\n\n# GitHubFileEditor\n\nThis is a component for editing files in GitHub repositories through the GitHub API.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`LangfuseConnector` integrates tracing capabilities into Haystack pipelines using [Langfuse](https://langfuse.com/). It captures detailed information about pipeline runs, like API calls, context data, prompts, and more. Use this component to:\n\n- Monitor model performance, such as token usage and cost.\n- Find areas for pipeline improvement by identifying low-quality outputs and collecting user feedback.\n- Create datasets for fine-tuning and testing from your pipeline executions.\n\nTo work with the integration, add the `LangfuseConnector` to your pipeline, run the pipeline, and then view the tracing data on the Langfuse website. Don’t connect this component to any other – `LangfuseConnector` will simply run in your pipeline’s background.\n\nYou can optionally define two more parameters when working with this component:\n\n- `httpx_client`: An optional custom `httpx.Client` instance for Langfuse API calls. Note that custom clients are discarded when deserializing a pipeline from YAML, as HTTPX clients cannot be serialized. In such cases, Langfuse creates a default client.\n- `span_handler`: An optional custom handler for processing spans. If not provided, the `DefaultSpanHandler` is used. The span handler defines how spans are created and processed, enabling customization of span types based on component types and post-processing of spans. See more details in the [Advanced Usage section](#advanced-usage) below.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\nThese are the things that you need before working with LangfuseConnector:\n\n1. Make sure you have an active Langfuse [account](https://cloud.langfuse.com/).\n2. Set the `HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED` environment variable to `true` – this will enable tracing in your pipelines.\n3. Set the `LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY` and `LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY` environment variables with your Langfuse secret and public keys found in your account profile.\n\n### Installation\n\nFirst, install `langfuse-haystack` package to use the `LangfuseConnector`:\n\n```shell\npip install langfuse-haystack\n```\n\n
\n\n:::info Usage Notice\n\nTo ensure proper tracing, always set environment variables before importing any Haystack components. This is crucial because Haystack initializes its internal tracing components during import. In the example below, we first set the environmental variables and then import the relevant Haystack components.\n\nAlternatively, an even better practice is to set these environment variables in your shell before running the script. This approach keeps configuration separate from code and allows for easier management of different environments.\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\nIn the example below, we are adding `LangfuseConnector` to the pipeline as a _tracer_.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `OpenAPIConnector` is a component within the Haystack ecosystem that allows direct invocation of REST endpoints defined in an OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specification. It acts as a bridge between Haystack pipelines and any REST API that follows the OpenAPI standard, enabling dynamic method calls, authentication, and parameter handling.\n\nTo use the `OpenAPIConnector`, ensure that you have the `openapi-llm` dependency installed:\n\n```shell\npip install openapi-llm\n```\n\nUnlike [OpenAPIServiceConnector](openapiserviceconnector.mdx), which works with LLMs, `OpenAPIConnector` directly calls REST endpoints using explicit input arguments.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can initialize and use the `OpenAPIConnector` on its own by passing an OpenAPI specification and other parameters:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory},\n)\n\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"},\n)\n```\n\n#### Output\n\nThe `OpenAPIConnector` returns a dictionary containing the service response:\n\n```json\n{\n \"response\": { // here goes REST endpoint response JSON\n }\n}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe `OpenAPIConnector` can be integrated into a Haystack pipeline to interact with OpenAPI services. For example, here’s how you can link the `OpenAPIConnector` to a pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.chat_message import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\n## Initialize the OpenAPIConnector\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n)\n\n## Create a ChatMessage from the user\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(text=\"Who was Nikola Tesla?\")\n\n## Define the pipeline\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"openapi_connector\", connector)\n\n## Run the pipeline\nresponse = pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"openapi_connector\": {\n \"operation_id\": \"search\",\n \"arguments\": {\"q\": user_message.text},\n },\n },\n)\n\n## Extract the answer from the response\nanswer = response.get(\"openapi_connector\", {}).get(\"response\", {})\nprint(answer)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/connectors/openapiserviceconnector.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenAPIServiceConnector\"\nid: openapiserviceconnector\nslug: \"/openapiserviceconnector\"\ndescription: \"`OpenAPIServiceConnector` is a component that acts as an interface between the Haystack ecosystem and OpenAPI services.\"\n---\n\n# OpenAPIServiceConnector\n\n`OpenAPIServiceConnector` is a component that acts as an interface between the Haystack ecosystem and OpenAPI services.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OpenAPIServiceConnector` acts as a bridge between Haystack ecosystem and OpenAPI services. This component works by using information from a `ChatMessage` to dynamically invoke service methods. It handles parameter payload parsing from `ChatMessage`, service authentication, method invocation, and response formatting, making it easier to integrate OpenAPI services.\n\nTo use `OpenAPIServiceConnector`, you need to install the optional `openapi3` dependency with:\n\n```shell\npip install openapi3\n```\n\n`OpenAPIServiceConnector` component doesn’t have any init parameters.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis component is primarily meant to be used in pipelines, as [`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions`](../converters/openapiservicetofunctions.mdx), in tandem with the function calling model, resolves the actual function calling parameters that are injected as invocation parameters for `OpenAPIServiceConnector`.\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nLet's say we're linking the Serper search engine to a pipeline. Here, `OpenAPIServiceConnector` uses the abilities of `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions`. `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` first fetches and changes the [Serper's OpenAPI specification](https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec) into a format that OpenAI's function calling mechanism can understand. Then, `OpenAPIServiceConnector` activates the Serper service using this specification.\n\nMore precisely, `OpenAPIServiceConnector` dynamically calls methods defined in the Serper OpenAPI specification. This involves reading chat messages or other inputs to extract function call parameters, handling authentication with the Serper service, and making the right API calls. The connector makes sure that the method call follows the Serper API requirements, such as correct formatting requests and handling responses.\n\nNote that we used Serper just as an example here. This could be any OpenAPI-compliant service.\n\n:::info\nTo run the following code snippet, note that you have to have your own Serper and OpenAI API keys.\n:::\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom typing import Dict, Any, List\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OpenAPIServiceToFunctions, OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ByteStream\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ndef prepare_fc_params(openai_functions_schema: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:\n return {\n \"tools\": [{\n \"type\": \"function\",\n \"function\": openai_functions_schema\n }],\n \"tool_choice\": {\n \"type\": \"function\",\n \"function\": {\"name\": openai_functions_schema[\"name\"]}\n }\n }\n\nsystem_prompt = requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_system_prompt\").text\nserper_spec = requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"spec_to_functions\", OpenAPIServiceToFunctions())\npipe.add_component(\"functions_llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(llm_api_key), model=\"gpt-3.5-turbo-0613\"))\npipe.add_component(\"openapi_container\", OpenAPIServiceConnector())\npipe.add_component(\"a1\", OutputAdapter(\"{{functions[0] | prepare_fc}}\", Dict[str, Any], {\"prepare_fc\": prepare_fc_params}))\npipe.add_component(\"a2\", OutputAdapter(\"{{specs[0]}}\", Dict[str, Any]))\npipe.add_component(\"a3\", OutputAdapter(\"{{system_message + service_response}}\", List[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(llm_api_key), model=\"gpt-4-1106-preview\", streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk))\n\npipe.connect(\"spec_to_functions.functions\", \"a1.functions\")\npipe.connect(\"spec_to_functions.openapi_specs\", \"a2.specs\")\npipe.connect(\"a1\", \"functions_llm.generation_kwargs\")\npipe.connect(\"functions_llm.replies\", \"openapi_container.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"a2\", \"openapi_container.service_openapi_spec\")\npipe.connect(\"openapi_container.service_response\", \"a3.service_response\")\npipe.connect(\"a3\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nuser_prompt = \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"\n\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"functions_llm\": {\"messages\":[ChatMessage.from_system(\"Only do function calling\"), ChatMessage.from_user(user_prompt)]},\n \"openapi_container\": {\"service_credentials\": serper_dev_key},\n \"spec_to_functions\": {\"sources\": [ByteStream.from_string(serper_spec)]},\n \"a3\": {\"system_message\": [ChatMessage.from_system(system_prompt)]}})\n\n>Sam Altman was ousted from OpenAI on November 17, 2023, following\n>a \"deliberative review process\" by the board of directors.

You can sign up for free at [Weights & Biases website](https://wandb.ai/site).\n\nYou will then need to set the `WANDB_API_KEY` environment variable with your Weights & Biases API key. Once logged in, you can find your API key on [your home page](https://wandb.ai/home).\n\nThen go to `https://wandb.ai//projects` and see the full trace for your pipeline under the pipeline name you specified when creating the `WeaveConnector`.\n\nYou will also need to set the `HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED` environment variable set to `true`.\n\n## Usage\n\nFirst, install the `weights_biases-haystack` package to use this connector:\n\n```shell\npip install weights_biases-haystack\n```\n\nThen, add it to your pipeline without any connections, and it will automatically start sending traces to Weights & Biases:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.weave import WeaveConnector\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-3.5-turbo\"))\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nconnector = WeaveConnector(pipeline_name=\"test_pipeline\")\npipe.add_component(\"weave\", connector)\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\n```\n\nYou can then see the complete trace for your pipeline at `https://wandb.ai//projects` under the pipeline name you specified when creating the `WeaveConnector`.\n\n### With an Agent\n\n```python\nimport os\n\n## Enable Haystack content tracing\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom typing import Annotated\n\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import tool\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.weave import WeaveConnector\n\n\n@tool\ndef get_weather(city: Annotated[str, \"The city to get weather for\"]) -> str:\n \"\"\"Get current weather information for a city.\"\"\"\n weather_data = {\n \"Berlin\": \"18°C, partly cloudy\",\n \"New York\": \"22°C, sunny\",\n \"Tokyo\": \"25°C, clear skies\",\n }\n return weather_data.get(city, f\"Weather information for {city} not available\")\n\n\n@tool\ndef calculate(\n operation: Annotated[\n str,\n \"Mathematical operation: add, subtract, multiply, divide\",\n ],\n a: Annotated[float, \"First number\"],\n b: Annotated[float, \"Second number\"],\n) -> str:\n \"\"\"Perform basic mathematical calculations.\"\"\"\n if operation == \"add\":\n result = a + b\n elif operation == \"subtract\":\n result = a - b\n elif operation == \"multiply\":\n result = a * b\n elif operation == \"divide\":\n if b == 0:\n return \"Error: Division by zero\"\n result = a / b\n else:\n return f\"Error: Unknown operation '{operation}'\"\n\n return f\"The result of {a} {operation} {b} is {result}\"\n\n\n## Create the chat generator\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator()\n\n## Create the agent with tools\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=chat_generator,\n tools=[get_weather, calculate],\n system_prompt=\"You are a helpful assistant with access to weather and calculator tools.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AzureOCRDocumentConverter` takes a list of file paths or [`ByteStream`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream) objects as input and uses Azure services to convert the files to a list of documents. Optionally, metadata can be attached to the documents through the `meta` input parameter. You need an active Azure account and a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource to use this integration. Follow the steps described in the Azure [documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document-intelligence/quickstarts/get-started-sdks-rest-api) to set up your resource.\n\nThe component uses an `AZURE_AI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an `api_key` at initialization – see code examples below.\n\nWhen you initialize the component, you can optionally set the `model_id`, which refers to the model you want to use. Please refer to [Azure documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document-intelligence/choose-model-feature) for a list of available models.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentToImageContent` processes a list of documents containing image or PDF file paths and converts them into `ImageContent` objects.\n\n- For images, it reads and encodes the file directly.\n- For PDFs, it extracts the specified page (through `page_number` in metadata) and converts it to an image.\n\nBy default, it looks for the file path in the `file_path` metadata field. You can customize this with the `file_path_meta_field` parameter. The `root_path` lets you specify a common base directory for file resolution.\n\nThis component is typically used in query pipelines right before a `ChatPromptBuilder` when you would like to add Images to your user prompt.\n\nIf `size` is provided, the images will be resized while maintaining aspect ratio. This reduces file size, memory usage, and processing time, which is beneficial when working with models that have resolution constraints or when transmitting images to remote services.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image.document_to_image import (\n DocumentToImageContent,\n)\n\nconverter = DocumentToImageContent(\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n root_path=\"/data/documents\",\n detail=\"high\",\n size=(800, 600),\n)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Photo of a mountain\", meta={\"file_path\": \"mountain.jpg\"}),\n Document(\n content=\"First page of a report\",\n meta={\"file_path\": \"report.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1},\n ),\n]\n\nresult = converter.run(documents)\nimage_contents = result[\"image_contents\"]\nprint(image_contents)\n\n## [\n## ImageContent(\n## base64_image=\"/9j/4A...\", mime_type=\"image/jpeg\", detail=\"high\",\n## meta={\"file_path\": \"mountain.jpg\"}\n## ),\n## ImageContent(\n## base64_image=\"/9j/4A...\", mime_type=\"image/jpeg\", detail=\"high\",\n## meta={\"file_path\": \"report.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1}\n## )\n## ]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can use `DocumentToImageContent` in multimodal indexing pipelines before passing to an Embedder or captioning model.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image.document_to_image import (\n DocumentToImageContent,\n)\n\n## Query pipeline\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"image_converter\", DocumentToImageContent(detail=\"auto\"))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"chat_prompt_builder\",\n ChatPromptBuilder(\n required_variables=[\"question\"],\n template=\"\"\"{% message role=\"system\" %}\nYou are a friendly assistant that answers questions based on provided images.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{%- message role=\"user\" -%}\nOnly provide an answer to the question using the images provided.\n\nQuestion: {{ question }}\nAnswer:\n\n{%- for img in image_contents -%}\n {{ img | templatize_part }}\n{%- endfor -%}\n{%- endmessage -%}\n\"\"\",\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipeline.connect(\"image_converter\", \"chat_prompt_builder.image_contents\")\npipeline.connect(\"chat_prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Cat image\", meta={\"file_path\": \"cat.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"Doc intro\", meta={\"file_path\": \"paper.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1}),\n]\n\nresult = pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"image_converter\": {\"documents\": documents},\n \"chat_prompt_builder\": {\"question\": \"What color is the cat?\"},\n },\n)\nprint(result)\n\n## {\n## \"llm\": {\n## \"replies\": [\n## ChatMessage(\n## _role=,\n## _content=[TextContent(text=\"The cat is orange with some black.\")],\n## _name=None,\n## _meta={\n## \"model\": \"gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18\",\n## \"index\": 0,\n## \"finish_reason\": \"stop\",\n## \"usage\": {...},\n## },\n## )\n## ]\n## }\n## }\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Introduction to Multimodality](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/multimodal_intro)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/docxtodocument.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"DOCXToDocument\"\nid: docxtodocument\nslug: \"/docxtodocument\"\ndescription: \"Convert DOCX files to documents.\"\n---\n\n# DOCXToDocument\n\nConvert DOCX files to documents.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `HTMLToDocument` component converts HTML files into documents. It can be used in an indexing pipeline to index the contents of an HTML file into a Document Store or even in a querying pipeline after the [`LinkContentFetcher`](../fetchers/linkcontentfetcher.mdx). The `HTMLToDocument` component takes a list of HTML file paths or [`ByteStream`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream) objects as input and converts the files to a list of documents. Optionally, you can attach metadata to the documents through the `meta` input parameter.\n\nWhen you initialize the component, you can optionally set `extraction_kwargs`, a dictionary containing keyword arguments to customize the extraction process. These are passed to the underlying Trafilatura `extract` function. For the full list of available arguments, see the [Trafilatura documentation](https://trafilatura.readthedocs.io/en/latest/corefunctions.html#extract).\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\n\nconverter = HTMLToDocument()\n\ndocs = converter.run(sources=[Path(\"saved_page.html\")])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's an example of an indexing pipeline that writes the contents of an HTML file into an `InMemoryDocumentStore`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"converter\", HTMLToDocument())\npipeline.add_component(\"cleaner\", DocumentCleaner())\npipeline.add_component(\n \"splitter\",\n DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=5),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\npipeline.connect(\"converter\", \"cleaner\")\npipeline.connect(\"cleaner\", \"splitter\")\npipeline.connect(\"splitter\", \"writer\")\n\npipeline.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": file_names}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/imagefiletodocument.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ImageFileToDocument\"\nid: imagefiletodocument\nslug: \"/imagefiletodocument\"\ndescription: \"Converts image file references into empty `Document` objects with associated metadata.\"\n---\n\n# ImageFileToDocument\n\nConverts image file references into empty `Document` objects with associated metadata.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`JSONConverter` converts one or more JSON files into a text document.\n\n### Parameters Overview\n\nTo initialize `JSONConverter`, you must provide either `jq_schema`, or `content_key` parameter, or both.\n\n`jq_schema` parameter filter extracts nested data from JSON files. Refer to the [jq documentation](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) for filter syntax. If not set, the entire JSON file is used.\n\nThe `content_key` parameter lets you specify which key in the extracted data will be the document's content.\n\n- If both `jq_schema` and `content_key` are set, the `content_key` is searched in the data extracted by `jq_schema`. Non-object data will be skipped.\n- If only `jq_schema` is set, the extracted value must be scalar; objects or arrays will be skipped.\n- If only `content_key` is set, the source must be a JSON object, or it will be skipped.\n\nCheck out the [API reference](../converters.mdx) for the full list of parameters.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install the `jq` package to use this Converter:\n\n```shell\npip install jq\n```\n\n### Example\n\nHere is an example of simple component usage:\n\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack.components.converters import JSONConverter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\n\nsource = ByteStream.from_string(\n json.dumps({\"text\": \"This is the content of my document\"}),\n)\n\nconverter = JSONConverter(content_key=\"text\")\nresults = converter.run(sources=[source])\ndocuments = results[\"documents\"]\nprint(documents[0].content)\n## 'This is the content of my document'\n```\n\nIn the following more complex example, we provide a `jq_schema` string to filter the JSON source files and `extra_meta_fields` to extract from the filtered data:\n\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack.components.converters import JSONConverter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\n\ndata = {\n \"laureates\": [\n {\n \"firstname\": \"Enrico\",\n \"surname\": \"Fermi\",\n \"motivation\": \"for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced \"\n \"by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by\"\n \" slow neutrons\",\n },\n {\n \"firstname\": \"Rita\",\n \"surname\": \"Levi-Montalcini\",\n \"motivation\": \"for their discoveries of growth factors\",\n },\n ],\n}\nsource = ByteStream.from_string(json.dumps(data))\nconverter = JSONConverter(\n jq_schema=\".laureates[]\",\n content_key=\"motivation\",\n extra_meta_fields={\"firstname\", \"surname\"},\n)\n\nresults = converter.run(sources=[source])\ndocuments = results[\"documents\"]\nprint(documents[0].content)\n## 'for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by\n## neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought\n## about by slow neutrons'\n\nprint(documents[0].meta)\n## {'firstname': 'Enrico', 'surname': 'Fermi'}\n\nprint(documents[1].content)\n## 'for their discoveries of growth factors'\n\nprint(documents[1].meta)\n## {'firstname': 'Rita', 'surname': 'Levi-Montalcini'}\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/markdowntodocument.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MarkdownToDocument\"\nid: markdowntodocument\nslug: \"/markdowntodocument\"\ndescription: \"A component that converts Markdown files to documents.\"\n---\n\n# MarkdownToDocument\n\nA component that converts Markdown files to documents.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `MarkdownToDocument` component converts Markdown files into documents. You can use it in an indexing pipeline to index the contents of a Markdown file into a Document Store. It takes a list of file paths or [ByteStream](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream) objects as input and outputs the converted result as a list of documents. Optionally, you can attach metadata to the documents through the `meta` input parameter.\n\nWhen you initialize the component, you can optionally turn off progress bars by setting `progress_bar` to `False`.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `MistralOCRDocumentConverter` takes a list of document sources and uses Mistral's OCR API to extract text from images and PDFs. It supports multiple input formats:\n\n- **Local files**: File paths (str or Path) or [`ByteStream`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream) objects\n- **Remote resources**: Document URLs, image URLs using Mistral's `DocumentURLChunk` and `ImageURLChunk`\n- **Mistral storage**: File IDs using Mistral's `FileChunk` for files previously uploaded to Mistral\n\nThe component returns one Haystack [`Document`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#document) per source, with all pages concatenated using form feed characters (`\\f`) as separators. This format ensures compatibility with Haystack's [`DocumentSplitter`](../preprocessors/documentsplitter.mdx) for accurate page-wise splitting and overlap handling. The content is returned in markdown format, with images represented as `![img-id](img-id)` tags.\n\nBy default, the component uses the `MISTRAL_API_KEY` environment variable for authentication. You can also pass an `api_key` at initialization. Local files are automatically uploaded to Mistral's storage for processing and deleted afterward (configurable with `cleanup_uploaded_files`).\n\nWhen you initialize the component, you can optionally specify which pages to process, set limits on image extraction, configure minimum image sizes, or include base64-encoded images in the response. The default model is `\"mistral-ocr-2505\"`. See the [Mistral models documentation](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/models/models_overview/) for available models.\n\n### Structured Annotations\n\nA unique feature of `MistralOCRDocumentConverter` is its support for structured annotations using Pydantic schemas:\n\n- **Bounding box annotations** (`bbox_annotation_schema`): Annotate individual image regions with structured data (for example, image type, description, summary). These annotations are inserted inline after the corresponding image tags in the markdown content.\n- **Document annotations** (`document_annotation_schema`): Annotate the full document with structured data (for example, language, chapter titles, URLs). These annotations are unpacked into the document's metadata with a `source_` prefix (for example, `source_language`, `source_chapter_titles`).\n\nWhen annotation schemas are provided, the OCR model first extracts text and structure, then a Vision LLM analyzes the content and generates structured annotations according to your defined Pydantic schemas. Note that document annotation is limited to a maximum of 8 pages. For more details, see the [Mistral documentation on annotations](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/document_ai/annotations/).\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install the `mistral-haystack` integration to use `MistralOCRDocumentConverter`:\n\n```shell\npip install mistral-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage with a local file:\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.mistral import (\n MistralOCRDocumentConverter,\n)\n\nconverter = MistralOCRDocumentConverter(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"MISTRAL_API_KEY\"),\n model=\"mistral-ocr-2505\",\n)\n\nresult = converter.run(sources=[Path(\"my_document.pdf\")])\ndocuments = result[\"documents\"]\n```\n\nProcessing multiple sources with different types:\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.mistral import (\n MistralOCRDocumentConverter,\n)\nfrom mistralai.models import DocumentURLChunk, ImageURLChunk\n\nconverter = MistralOCRDocumentConverter(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"MISTRAL_API_KEY\"),\n model=\"mistral-ocr-2505\",\n)\n\nsources = [\n Path(\"local_document.pdf\"),\n DocumentURLChunk(document_url=\"https://example.com/document.pdf\"),\n ImageURLChunk(image_url=\"https://example.com/receipt.jpg\"),\n]\n\nresult = converter.run(sources=sources)\ndocuments = result[\"documents\"] # List of 3 Documents\nraw_responses = result[\"raw_mistral_response\"] # List of 3 raw responses\n```\n\nUsing structured annotations:\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom typing import List\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel, Field\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.mistral import (\n MistralOCRDocumentConverter,\n)\nfrom mistralai.models import DocumentURLChunk\n\n\n# Define schema for image region annotations\nclass ImageAnnotation(BaseModel):\n image_type: str = Field(..., description=\"The type of image content\")\n short_description: str = Field(\n ...,\n description=\"Short natural-language description\",\n )\n summary: str = Field(..., description=\"Detailed summary of the image content\")\n\n\n# Define schema for document-level annotations\nclass DocumentAnnotation(BaseModel):\n language: str = Field(..., description=\"Primary language of the document\")\n chapter_titles: List[str] = Field(\n ...,\n description=\"Detected chapter or section titles\",\n )\n urls: List[str] = Field(..., description=\"URLs found in the text\")\n\n\nconverter = MistralOCRDocumentConverter(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"MISTRAL_API_KEY\"),\n model=\"mistral-ocr-2505\",\n)\n\nsources = [DocumentURLChunk(document_url=\"https://example.com/report.pdf\")]\nresult = converter.run(\n sources=sources,\n bbox_annotation_schema=ImageAnnotation,\n document_annotation_schema=DocumentAnnotation,\n)\n\ndocuments = result[\"documents\"]\n# Document metadata will include:\n# - source_language: extracted from DocumentAnnotation\n# - source_chapter_titles: extracted from DocumentAnnotation\n# - source_urls: extracted from DocumentAnnotation\n# Document content will include inline image annotations\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's an example of an indexing pipeline that processes PDFs with OCR and writes them to a Document Store:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner, DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.mistral import (\n MistralOCRDocumentConverter,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\n \"converter\",\n MistralOCRDocumentConverter(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"MISTRAL_API_KEY\"),\n model=\"mistral-ocr-2505\",\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"cleaner\", DocumentCleaner())\npipeline.add_component(\"splitter\", DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"page\", split_length=1))\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\n\npipeline.connect(\"converter\", \"cleaner\")\npipeline.connect(\"cleaner\", \"splitter\")\npipeline.connect(\"splitter\", \"writer\")\n\nfile_paths = [\"invoice.pdf\", \"receipt.jpg\", \"contract.pdf\"]\npipeline.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": file_paths}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/msgtodocument.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MSGToDocument\"\nid: msgtodocument\nslug: \"/msgtodocument\"\ndescription: \"Converts Microsoft Outlook .msg files to documents.\"\n---\n\n# MSGToDocument\n\nConverts Microsoft Outlook .msg files to documents.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `MSGToDocument` component converts Microsoft Outlook `.msg` files into documents. This component extracts the email metadata (such as sender, recipients, CC, BCC, subject) and body content. Additionally, any file attachments within the `.msg` file are extracted as `ByteStream` objects.\n\n## Usage\n\nFirst, install the `python-oxmsg` package to start using this converter:\n\n```\npip install python-oxmsg\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters.msg import MSGToDocument\nfrom datetime import datetime\n\nconverter = MSGToDocument()\nresults = converter.run(\n sources=[\"sample.msg\"],\n meta={\"date_added\": datetime.now().isoformat()},\n)\ndocuments = results[\"documents\"]\nattachments = results[\"attachments\"]\n\nprint(documents[0].content)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe following setup enables efficient extraction, preprocessing, and indexing of `.msg` email files within a Haystack pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.components.converters import MSGToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"application/vnd.ms-outlook\"])\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"router\", router)\npipeline.add_component(\"converter\", MSGToDocument())\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\n\npipeline.connect(\"router.application/vnd.ms-outlook\", \"converter.sources\")\npipeline.connect(\"converter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\nfile_names = [\"email1.msg\", \"email2.msg\"]\npipeline.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": file_names}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/multifileconverter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MultiFileConverter\"\nid: multifileconverter\nslug: \"/multifileconverter\"\ndescription: \"Converts CSV, DOCX, HTML, JSON, MD, PPTX, PDF, TXT, and XSLX files to documents.\"\n---\n\n# MultiFileConverter\n\nConverts CSV, DOCX, HTML, JSON, MD, PPTX, PDF, TXT, and XSLX files to documents.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`MultiFileConverter` converts input files of various file types into documents.\n\nIt is a SuperComponent that combines a [`FileTypeRouter`](../routers/filetyperouter.mdx), nine converters and a [`DocumentJoiner`](../joiners/documentjoiner.mdx) into a single component.\n\n### Parameters\n\nTo initialize `MultiFileConverter`, there are no mandatory parameters. Optionally, you can provide `encoding` and `json_content_key` parameters.\n\nThe `json_content_key` parameter lets you specify for the JSON files which key in the extracted data will be the document's content. The parameter is passed on to the underlying [`JSONConverter`](jsonconverter.mdx) component.\n\nThe `encoding` parameter lets you specify the default encoding of the TXT, CSV, and MD files. If you don't provide any value, the component uses `utf-8` by default. Note that if the encoding is specified in the metadata of an input ByteStream, it will override this parameter's setting. The parameter is passed on to the underlying [`TextFileToDocument`](textfiletodocument.mdx) and [`CSVToDocument`](csvtodocument.mdx) components.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall dependencies for all supported file types to use the `MultiFileConverter`:\n\n```shell\npip install pypdf markdown-it-py mdit_plain trafilatura python-pptx python-docx jq openpyxl tabulate pandas\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters import MultiFileConverter\n\nconverter = MultiFileConverter()\nconverter.run(sources=[\"test.txt\", \"test.pdf\"], meta={})\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can also use `MultiFileConverter` in your indexing pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import MultiFileConverter\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentPreprocessor\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"converter\", MultiFileConverter())\npipeline.add_component(\"preprocessor\", DocumentPreprocessor())\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\npipeline.connect(\"converter\", \"preprocessor\")\npipeline.connect(\"preprocessor\", \"writer\")\n\nresult = pipeline.run(data={\"sources\": [\"test.txt\", \"test.pdf\"]})\n\nprint(result)\n## {'writer': {'documents_written': 3}}\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/openapiservicetofunctions.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenAPIServiceToFunctions\"\nid: openapiservicetofunctions\nslug: \"/openapiservicetofunctions\"\ndescription: \"`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` is a component that transforms OpenAPI service specifications into a format compatible with OpenAI's function calling mechanism.\"\n---\n\n# OpenAPIServiceToFunctions\n\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` is a component that transforms OpenAPI service specifications into a format compatible with OpenAI's function calling mechanism.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` transforms OpenAPI service specifications into an OpenAI function calling format. It takes an OpenAPI specification, processes it to extract function definitions, and formats these definitions to be compatible with OpenAI's function calling JSON format.\n\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` is valuable when used together with [`OpenAPIServiceConnector`](../connectors/openapiserviceconnector.mdx) component. It converts OpenAPI specifications into definitions suitable for OpenAI's function calls, allowing `OpenAPIServiceConnector` to handle input parameters for the OpenAPI specification and facilitate their use in REST API calls through `OpenAPIServiceConnector`.\n\nTo use `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions`, you need to install an optional `jsonref` dependency with:\n\n```shell\npip install jsonref\n```\n\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component doesn’t have any init parameters.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis component is primarily meant to be used in pipelines. Using this component alone is useful when you want to convert OpenAPI specification into OpenAI's function call specification and then perhaps save it in a file and subsequently use it in function calling.\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn a pipeline context, `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` is most valuable when used alongside `OpenAPIServiceConnector`. For instance, let’s consider integrating [serper.dev](http://serper.dev/) search engine bridge into a pipeline. `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` retrieves the OpenAPI specification of Serper from https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec, converts this specification into a format that OpenAI's function calling mechanism can understand, and then seamlessly passes this translated specification as `generation_kwargs` for LLM function calling invocation.\n\n:::info\nTo run the following code snippet, note that you have to have your own Serper and OpenAI API keys.\n:::\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom typing import Dict, Any, List\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OpenAPIServiceToFunctions, OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ByteStream\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ndef prepare_fc_params(openai_functions_schema: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:\n return {\n \"tools\": [{\n \"type\": \"function\",\n \"function\": openai_functions_schema\n }],\n \"tool_choice\": {\n \"type\": \"function\",\n \"function\": {\"name\": openai_functions_schema[\"name\"]}\n }\n }\n\nsystem_prompt = requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_system_prompt\").text\nserper_spec = requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"spec_to_functions\", OpenAPIServiceToFunctions())\npipe.add_component(\"functions_llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(llm_api_key), model=\"gpt-3.5-turbo-0613\"))\npipe.add_component(\"openapi_container\", OpenAPIServiceConnector())\npipe.add_component(\"a1\", OutputAdapter(\"{{functions[0] | prepare_fc}}\", Dict[str, Any], {\"prepare_fc\": prepare_fc_params}))\npipe.add_component(\"a2\", OutputAdapter(\"{{specs[0]}}\", Dict[str, Any]))\npipe.add_component(\"a3\", OutputAdapter(\"{{system_message + service_response}}\", List[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(llm_api_key), model=\"gpt-4-1106-preview\", streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk))\n\npipe.connect(\"spec_to_functions.functions\", \"a1.functions\")\npipe.connect(\"spec_to_functions.openapi_specs\", \"a2.specs\")\npipe.connect(\"a1\", \"functions_llm.generation_kwargs\")\npipe.connect(\"functions_llm.replies\", \"openapi_container.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"a2\", \"openapi_container.service_openapi_spec\")\npipe.connect(\"openapi_container.service_response\", \"a3.service_response\")\npipe.connect(\"a3\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nuser_prompt = \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"\n\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"functions_llm\": {\"messages\":[ChatMessage.from_system(\"Only do function calling\"), ChatMessage.from_user(user_prompt)]},\n \"openapi_container\": {\"service_credentials\": serper_dev_key},\n \"spec_to_functions\": {\"sources\": [ByteStream.from_string(serper_spec)]},\n \"a3\": {\"system_message\": [ChatMessage.from_system(system_prompt)]}})\n\n>Sam Altman was ousted from OpenAI on November 17, 2023, following\n>a \"deliberative review process\" by the board of directors.

`output_type`: Type alias that this instance will return |\n| **Mandatory run variables** | `**kwargs`: Input variables to be used in Jinja expression. See [Variables](#variables) section for more details. |\n| **Output variables** | The output is specified under the `output` key dictionary |\n| **API reference** | [Converters](/reference/converters-api) |\n| **GitHub link** | https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/components/converters/output_adapter.py |\n\n
\n\n## Overview\n\nTo use `OutputAdapter`, you need to specify the adaptation rule that includes:\n\n- `template`: A Jinja template string that defines how to adapt the input data.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (such as `str`, `List[int]`..). This doesn't change the actual output type and is only needed to validate connection with other components.\n- `custom_filters`: An optional dictionary of custom Jinja filters to be used in the template.\n\n### Variables\n\nThe `OutputAdapter` requires all template variables to be present before running and raises an error if any template variable is missing at pipeline connect time.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\n\nadapter = OutputAdapter(template=\"Hello {{name}}!\", output_type=str)\n```\n\n### Unsafe behavior\n\nThe `OutputAdapter` internally renders the `template` using Jinja, and by default, this is safe behavior. However, it limits the output types to strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, `None`, and `Ellipsis` (`...`), as well as any combination of these structures.\n\nIf you want to use other types such as `ChatMessage`, `Document`, or `Answer`, you must enable unsafe template rendering by setting the `unsafe` init argument to `True`.\n\nBe cautious, as enabling this can be unsafe and may lead to remote code execution if the `template` is a string customizable by the end user.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis component is primarily meant to be used in pipelines.\n\nIn this example, `OutputAdapter` simply outputs the content field of the first document in the arrays of documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\n\nadapter = OutputAdapter(template=\"{{ documents[0].content }}\", output_type=str)\ninput_data = {\"documents\": [Document(content=\"Test content\")]}\nexpected_output = {\"output\": \"Test content\"}\nassert adapter.run(**input_data) == expected_output\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe example below demonstrates a straightforward pipeline that uses the `OutputAdapter` to capitalize the first document in the list. If needed, you can also utilize the predefined Jinja [filters](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/#builtin-filters).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, component, Document\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\n\n\n@component\nclass DocumentProducer:\n @component.output_types(documents=dict)\n def run(self):\n return {\"documents\": [Document(content=\"haystack\")]}\n\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\n name=\"output_adapter\",\n instance=OutputAdapter(\n template=\"{{ documents[0].content | capitalize}}\",\n output_type=str,\n ),\n)\npipe.add_component(name=\"document_producer\", instance=DocumentProducer())\npipe.connect(\"document_producer\", \"output_adapter\")\nresult = pipe.run(data={})\n\nassert result[\"output_adapter\"][\"output\"] == \"Haystack\"\n```\n\nYou can also define your own custom filters, which can then be added to an `OutputAdapter` instance through its init method and used in templates. Here’s an example of this approach:\n\n```python\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, component, Document\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\n\n\ndef reverse_string(s):\n return s[::-1]\n\n\n@component\nclass DocumentProducer:\n @component.output_types(documents=dict)\n def run(self):\n return {\"documents\": [Document(content=\"haystack\")]}\n\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\n name=\"output_adapter\",\n instance=OutputAdapter(\n template=\"{{ documents[0].content | reverse_string}}\",\n output_type=str,\n custom_filters={\"reverse_string\": reverse_string},\n ),\n)\n\npipe.add_component(name=\"document_producer\", instance=DocumentProducer())\npipe.connect(\"document_producer\", \"output_adapter\")\nresult = pipe.run(data={})\n\nassert result[\"output_adapter\"][\"output\"] == \"kcatsyah\"\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/paddleocrvldocumentconverter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter\"\nid: paddleocrvldocumentconverter\nslug: \"/paddleocrvldocumentconverter\"\ndescription: \"`PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter` extracts text from documents using PaddleOCR's large model document parsing API.\"\n---\n\n# PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter\n\n`PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter` extracts text from documents using PaddleOCR's large model document parsing API.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter` takes a list of document sources and uses PaddleOCR's large model document parsing API to extract text from images and PDFs. It supports both images and PDF files.\n\nThe component returns one Haystack [`Document`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#document) per source, with all pages concatenated using form feed characters (`\\f`) as separators. This format ensures compatibility with Haystack's [`DocumentSplitter`](../preprocessors/documentsplitter.mdx) for accurate page-wise splitting and overlap handling. The content is returned in markdown format, with images represented as `![img-id](img-id)` tags.\n\nThe component takes `api_url` as a required parameter. To obtain the API URL, visit the [PaddleOCR official website](https://aistudio.baidu.com/paddleocr), click the **API** button, choose the example code for PaddleOCR-VL, and copy the `API_URL`.\n\nBy default, the component uses the `AISTUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable for authentication. You can also pass an `access_token` at initialization. The AI Studio access token can be obtained from [this page](https://aistudio.baidu.com/account/accessToken).\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install the `paddleocr-haystack` integration to use `PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter`:\n\n```shell\npip install paddleocr-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage with a local file:\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.paddleocr import (\n PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter,\n)\n\nconverter = PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter(\n api_url=\"\",\n access_token=Secret.from_env_var(\"AISTUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN\"),\n)\n\nresult = converter.run(sources=[Path(\"my_document.pdf\")])\ndocuments = result[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's an example of an indexing pipeline that processes PDFs with OCR and writes them to a Document Store:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner, DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.paddleocr import (\n PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\n \"converter\",\n PaddleOCRVLDocumentConverter(\n api_url=\"\",\n access_token=Secret.from_env_var(\"AISTUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN\"),\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"cleaner\", DocumentCleaner())\npipeline.add_component(\"splitter\", DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"page\", split_length=1))\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\n\npipeline.connect(\"converter\", \"cleaner\")\npipeline.connect(\"cleaner\", \"splitter\")\npipeline.connect(\"splitter\", \"writer\")\n\nfile_paths = [\"invoice.pdf\", \"receipt.jpg\", \"contract.pdf\"]\npipeline.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": file_paths}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/pdfminertodocument.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PDFMinerToDocument\"\nid: pdfminertodocument\nslug: \"/pdfminertodocument\"\ndescription: \"A component that converts complex PDF files to documents using pdfminer arguments.\"\n---\n\n# PDFMinerToDocument\n\nA component that converts complex PDF files to documents using pdfminer arguments.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `PDFMinerToDocument` component converts PDF files into documents using [PDFMiner](https://pdfminersix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) extraction tool arguments.\n\nYou can use it in an indexing pipeline to index the contents of a PDF file in a Document Store. It takes a list of file paths or [`ByteStream`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream)objects as input and outputs the converted result as a list of documents. Optionally, you can attach metadata to the documents through the `meta` input parameter.\n\nWhen initializing the component, you can adjust several parameters to fit your PDF. See the full parameter list and descriptions in our [API reference](/reference/converters-api#pdfminertodocument).\n\n## Usage\n\nFirst, install `pdfminer` package to start using this converter:\n\n```shell\npip install pdfminer.six\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters import PDFMinerToDocument\n\nconverter = PDFMinerToDocument()\nresults = converter.run(\n sources=[\"sample.pdf\"],\n meta={\"date_added\": datetime.now().isoformat()},\n)\ndocuments = results[\"documents\"]\n\nprint(documents[0].content)\n\n## 'This is a text from the PDF file.'\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters import PDFMinerToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"converter\", PDFMinerToDocument())\npipeline.add_component(\"cleaner\", DocumentCleaner())\npipeline.add_component(\n \"splitter\",\n DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=5),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\npipeline.connect(\"converter\", \"cleaner\")\npipeline.connect(\"cleaner\", \"splitter\")\npipeline.connect(\"splitter\", \"writer\")\n\npipeline.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": file_names}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/pdftoimagecontent.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PDFToImageContent\"\nid: pdftoimagecontent\nslug: \"/pdftoimagecontent\"\ndescription: \"`PDFToImageContent` reads local PDF files and converts them into `ImageContent` objects.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`PDFToImageContent` processes a list of PDF sources and converts them into `ImageContent` objects, one for each page of the PDF. These can be used in multimodal pipelines that require base64-encoded image input.\n\nEach source can be:\n\n- A file path (string or `Path`), or\n- A `ByteStream` object.\n\nOptionally, you can provide metadata using the `meta` parameter. This can be a single dictionary (applied to all images) or a list matching the length of `sources`.\n\nUse the `size` parameter to resize images while preserving aspect ratio. This reduces memory usage and transmission size, which is helpful when working with remote models or limited-resource environments.\n\nThis component is often used in query pipelines just before a `ChatPromptBuilder`.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image import PDFToImageContent\n\nconverter = PDFToImageContent()\n\nsources = [\"file.pdf\", \"another_file.pdf\"]\n\nimage_contents = converter.run(sources=sources)[\"image_contents\"]\nprint(image_contents)\n\n## [ImageContent(base64_image='...',\n## mime_type='application/pdf',\n## detail=None,\n## meta={'file_path': 'file.pdf', 'page_number': 1}),\n## ...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nUse `ImageFileToImageContent` to supply image data to a `ChatPromptBuilder` for multimodal QA or captioning with an LLM.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image import PDFToImageContent\n\n## Query pipeline\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"image_converter\", PDFToImageContent(detail=\"auto\"))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"chat_prompt_builder\",\n ChatPromptBuilder(\n required_variables=[\"question\"],\n template=\"\"\"{% message role=\"system\" %}\nYou are a helpful assistant that answers questions using the provided images.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nQuestion: {{ question }}\n\n{% for img in image_contents %}\n{{ img | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n\"\"\",\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipeline.connect(\"image_converter\", \"chat_prompt_builder.image_contents\")\npipeline.connect(\"chat_prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nsources = [\"flan_paper.pdf\"]\n\nresult = pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"image_converter\": {\"sources\": [\"flan_paper.pdf\"], \"page_range\": \"9\"},\n \"chat_prompt_builder\": {\"question\": \"What is the main takeaway of Figure 6?\"},\n },\n)\nprint(result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n## ('The main takeaway of Figure 6 is that Flan-PaLM demonstrates improved '\n## 'performance in zero-shot reasoning tasks when utilizing chain-of-thought '\n## '(CoT) reasoning, as indicated by higher accuracy across different model '\n## 'sizes compared to PaLM without finetuning.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `TikaDocumentConverter` component converts files of different types (pdf, docx, html, and others) into documents. You can use it in an indexing pipeline to index the contents of files into a Document Store. It takes a list of file paths or [`ByteStream`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream) objects as input and outputs the converted result as a list of documents. Optionally, you can attach metadata to the documents through the `meta` input parameter.\n\nThis integration uses [Apache Tika](https://tika.apache.org/) to parse the files and requires a running Tika server.\n\nThe easiest way to run Tika is by using Docker: `docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:9998:9998 apache/tika:latest`.\nFor more options on running Tika on Docker, see the [Tika documentation](https://github.com/apache/tika-docker/blob/main/README.md#usage).\n\nWhen you initialize the `TikaDocumentConverter` component, you can specify a custom URL of the Tika server you are using through the parameter `tika_url`. The default URL is `\"http://localhost:9998/tika\"`.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install `tika` package to use the `TikaDocumentConverter` component:\n\n```shell\npip install tika\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters import TikaDocumentConverter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\nconverter = TikaDocumentConverter()\n\nconverter.run(sources=[Path(\"my_file.pdf\")])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters import TikaDocumentConverter\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"converter\", TikaDocumentConverter())\npipeline.add_component(\"cleaner\", DocumentCleaner())\npipeline.add_component(\n \"splitter\",\n DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=5),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\npipeline.connect(\"converter\", \"cleaner\")\npipeline.connect(\"cleaner\", \"splitter\")\npipeline.connect(\"splitter\", \"writer\")\n\npipeline.run({\"converter\": {\"sources\": file_paths}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/unstructuredfileconverter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"UnstructuredFileConverter\"\nid: unstructuredfileconverter\nslug: \"/unstructuredfileconverter\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to convert text files and directories to a document.\"\n---\n\n# UnstructuredFileConverter\n\nUse this component to convert text files and directories to a document.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`UnstructuredFileConverter` converts files and directories into documents using the Unstructured API.\n\n[Unstructured](https://docs.unstructured.io/) provides a series of tools to do ETL for LLMs. The `UnstructuredFileConverter` calls the Unstructured API that extracts text and other information from a vast range of file [formats](https://docs.unstructured.io/api-reference/api-services/overview#supported-file-types).\n\nThis Converter supports different modes for creating documents from the elements returned by Unstructured:\n\n- `\"one-doc-per-file\"`: One Haystack document per file. All elements are concatenated into one text field.\n- `\"one-doc-per-page\"`: One Haystack document per page. All elements on a page are concatenated into one text field.\n- `\"one-doc-per-element\"`: One Haystack document per element. Each element is converted to a Haystack document.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the Unstructured integration to use `UnstructuredFileConverter`component:\n\n```shell\npip install unstructured-fileconverter-haystack\n```\n\nThere are free and paid versions of Unstructured API: **Free Unstructured API** and **Unstructured Serverless API**.\n\n1. **Free Unstructured API**:\n - API URL: `https://api.unstructured.io/general/v0/general`\n - This version is free, but comes with certain limitations.\n\n2. **Unstructured Serverless API**:\n - You'll find your unique API URL in your Unstructured account after signing up for the paid version.\n - This is a full-tier paid version of Unstructured.\n\n For more details about the two tiers refer to Unstructured [FAQ](https://docs.unstructured.io/faq/faq).\n\n> ❗️ The API keys for the free and paid versions are different and cannot be used interchangeably.\n\nRegardless of the chosen tier, we recommend to set the Unstructured API key as an environment variable `UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY`:\n\n```shell\nexport UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY=your_api_key\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.unstructured import (\n UnstructuredFileConverter,\n)\n\nconverter = UnstructuredFileConverter()\ndocuments = converter.run(paths=[\"a/file/path.pdf\", \"a/directory/path\"])[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.unstructured import (\n UnstructuredFileConverter,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\nindexing = Pipeline()\nindexing.add_component(\"converter\", UnstructuredFileConverter())\nindexing.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store))\nindexing.connect(\"converter\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing.run({\"converter\": {\"paths\": [\"a/file/path.pdf\", \"a/directory/path\"]}})\n```\n\n### With Docker\n\nTo use `UnstructuredFileConverter` through Docker, first, set up an Unstructured Docker container:\n\n```\ndocker run -p 8000:8000 -d --rm --name unstructured-api quay.io/unstructured-io/unstructured-api:latest --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0\n```\n\nWhen initializing the component, specify the localhost URL:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.converters.unstructured import (\n UnstructuredFileConverter,\n)\n\nconverter = UnstructuredFileConverter(\n api_url=\"http://localhost:8000/general/v0/general\",\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/converters/xlsxtodocument.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"XLSXToDocument\"\nid: xlsxtodocument\nslug: \"/xlsxtodocument\"\ndescription: \"Converts Excel files into documents.\"\n---\n\n# XLSXToDocument\n\nConverts Excel files into documents.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`S3Downloader` downloads files from AWS S3 buckets to your local filesystem and enriches Document objects with the local file path. This component is useful for pipelines that need to process files stored in S3, such as PDFs, images, or text files.\n\nThe component supports AWS authentication through environment variables by default. You can set `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` environment variables. Alternatively, you can pass credentials directly at initialization using the [Secret API](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx):\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.downloaders.s3 import S3Downloader\n\ndownloader = S3Downloader(\n aws_access_key_id=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n aws_secret_access_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n aws_region_name=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n file_root_path=\"/path/to/download/directory\",\n)\n```\n\nThe component downloads multiple files in parallel using the `max_workers` parameter (default is 32 workers) to speed up processing of large document sets. Downloaded files are cached locally, and when the cache exceeds `max_cache_size` (default is 100 files), least recently accessed files are automatically removed. Already downloaded files are touched to update their access time without re-downloading.\n\n:::info Required Configuration\n\nThe component requires two critical configurations:\n\n1. `file_root_path` parameter or `FILE_ROOT_PATH` environment variable: Specifies where files will be downloaded. This directory will be created if it doesn't exist.\n2. `S3_DOWNLOADER_BUCKET` environment variable: Specifies which S3 bucket to download files from.\n:::\n\nThe optional environment variable `S3_DOWNLOADER_PREFIX` can be set to add a prefix of the files to all generated S3 keys.\n\n### File Extension Filtering\n\nYou can use the `file_extensions` parameter to download only specific file types, reducing unnecessary downloads and processing time. For example, `file_extensions=[\".pdf\", \".txt\"]` downloads only PDF and TXT files while skipping others.\n\n### Custom S3 Key Generation\n\nBy default, the component uses the `file_name` from Document metadata as the S3 key. If your S3 file structure doesn't match the file names in metadata, you can provide an optional `s3_key_generation_function` to customize how S3 keys are generated from Document metadata.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install the `amazon-bedrock-haystack` package to use `S3Downloader`:\n\n```shell\npip install amazon-bedrock-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBefore running the examples, ensure you have set the required environment variables:\n\n```shell\nexport AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"\"\nexport AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"\"\nexport AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=\"\"\nexport S3_DOWNLOADER_BUCKET=\"\"\n```\n\nHere's how to use `S3Downloader` to download files from S3:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.downloaders.s3 import S3Downloader\n\n## Create documents with file names in metadata\ndocuments = [\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"report.pdf\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"data.txt\"}),\n]\n\n## Initialize the downloader\ndownloader = S3Downloader(file_root_path=\"/tmp/s3_downloads\")\n\n## Download the files\nresult = downloader.run(documents=documents)\n\n## Access the downloaded files\nfor doc in result[\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"File downloaded to: {doc.meta['file_path']}\")\n```\n\nWith file extension filtering:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.downloaders.s3 import S3Downloader\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"report.pdf\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"image.png\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"data.txt\"}),\n]\n\n## Only download PDF files\ndownloader = S3Downloader(file_root_path=\"/tmp/s3_downloads\", file_extensions=[\".pdf\"])\n\nresult = downloader.run(documents=documents)\n\n## Only report.pdf is downloaded\nprint(f\"Downloaded {len(result['documents'])} file(s)\")\n## Output: Downloaded 1 file(s)\n```\n\nWith custom S3 key generation:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.downloaders.s3 import S3Downloader\n\n\ndef custom_s3_key_function(document: Document) -> str:\n \"\"\"Generate S3 key from custom metadata.\"\"\"\n folder = document.meta.get(\"folder\", \"default\")\n file_name = document.meta.get(\"file_name\")\n if not file_name:\n raise ValueError(\"Document must have 'file_name' in metadata\")\n return f\"{folder}/{file_name}\"\n\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"report.pdf\", \"folder\": \"reports/2025\"}),\n]\n\ndownloader = S3Downloader(\n file_root_path=\"/tmp/s3_downloads\",\n s3_key_generation_function=custom_s3_key_function,\n)\n\nresult = downloader.run(documents=documents)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's an example of using `S3Downloader` in a document processing pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import PDFMinerToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.downloaders.s3 import S3Downloader\n\n## Create a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n## Add S3Downloader to download files from S3\npipe.add_component(\n \"downloader\",\n S3Downloader(file_root_path=\"/tmp/s3_downloads\", file_extensions=[\".pdf\", \".txt\"]),\n)\n\n## Route documents by file type\npipe.add_component(\n \"router\",\n DocumentTypeRouter(\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"application/pdf\", \"text/plain\"],\n ),\n)\n\n## Convert PDFs to documents\npipe.add_component(\"pdf_converter\", PDFMinerToDocument())\n\n## Connect components\npipe.connect(\"downloader.documents\", \"router.documents\")\npipe.connect(\"router.application/pdf\", \"pdf_converter.documents\")\n\n## Create documents with S3 file names\ndocuments = [\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"report.pdf\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"summary.txt\"}),\n]\n\n## Run the pipeline\nresult = pipe.run({\"downloader\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n```\n\nFor a more complex example with image processing and LLM:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image import DocumentToImageContent\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.downloaders.s3 import S3Downloader\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockChatGenerator,\n)\n\n## Create documents with file names\ndocuments = [\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"chart.png\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_name\": \"report.pdf\"}),\n]\n\n## Create pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n## Download files from S3\npipe.add_component(\"downloader\", S3Downloader(file_root_path=\"/tmp/s3_downloads\"))\n\n## Route by document type\npipe.add_component(\n \"router\",\n DocumentTypeRouter(\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"image/png\", \"application/pdf\"],\n ),\n)\n\n## Convert images for LLM\npipe.add_component(\"image_converter\", DocumentToImageContent(detail=\"auto\"))\n\n## Create chat prompt with template\ntemplate = \"\"\"{% message role=\"user\" %}\nAnswer the question based on the provided images.\n\nQuestion: {{

\n\n## Overview\n\n[Amazon Bedrock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/what-is-bedrock.html) is a fully managed service that makes language models from leading AI startups and Amazon available for your use through a unified API.\n\nSupported models are `amazon.titan-embed-text-v1`, `cohere.embed-english-v3`, `cohere.embed-multilingual-v3`, and `amazon.titan-embed-text-v2:0`.\n\n:::info Batch Inference\n\nNote that only Cohere models support batch inference – computing embeddings for more documents with the same request.\n:::\n\nThis component should be used to embed a list of documents. To embed a string, you should use the [`AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder`](amazonbedrocktextembedder.mdx).\n\n### Authentication\n\n`AmazonBedrockDocumentEmbedder` uses AWS for authentication. You can either provide credentials as parameters directly to the component or use the AWS CLI and authenticate through your IAM. For more information on how to set up an IAM identity-based policy, see the [official documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\nTo initialize `AmazonBedrockDocumentEmbedder` and authenticate by providing credentials, provide the `model_name`, as well as `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key` and `aws_region_name`. Other parameters are optional.

\n\n## Overview\n\nAmazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides access to foundation models through a unified API.\n\n`AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder` expects a list of documents containing an image or a PDF file path in a meta field. The meta field can be specified with the `file_path_meta_field` init parameter of this component.\n\nThe embedder efficiently loads the images, computes the embeddings using selected Bedrock model, and stores each of them in the `embedding` field of the document.\n\nSupported models are `amazon.titan-embed-image-v1`, `cohere.embed-english-v3` , and `cohere.embed-multilingual-v3`.\n\n`AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder` is commonly used in indexing pipelines. At retrieval time, you need to use the same model with `AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder` to embed the query, before using an Embedding Retriever.\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install amazon-bedrock-haystack\n```\n\n### Authentication\n\n`AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder` uses AWS for authentication. You can either provide credentials as parameters directly to the component or use the AWS CLI and authenticate through your IAM. For more information on how to set up an IAM identity-based policy, see the [official documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nTo initialize `AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder` and authenticate by providing credentials, provide the `model` name, as well as `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`, and `aws_region_name`. Other parameters are optional, you can check them out in our [API reference](/reference/integrations-amazon-bedrock#amazonbedrocktextembedder).\n\n### Model-specific parameters\n\nEven if Haystack provides a unified interface, each model offered by Bedrock can accept specific parameters. You can pass these parameters at initialization.\n\n- **Amazon Titan**: Use `embeddingConfig` to control embedding behavior.\n- **Cohere v3**: Use `embedding_types` to select a single embedding type for images.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder,\n)\n\nembedder = AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder(\n model=\"cohere.embed-english-v3\",\n embedding_types=[\"float\"], # single value only\n)\n```\n\nNote that only _one_ value in `embedding_types` is supported by this component. Passing multiple values raises an error.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder,\n)\n\nos.environ[\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"] = \"...\"\nos.environ[\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"] = \"...\"\nos.environ[\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"] = \"us-east-1\" # example\n\n## Point Documents to image/PDF files via metadata (default key: \"file_path\")\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"A photo of a cat\", meta={\"file_path\": \"cat.jpg\"}),\n Document(\n content=\"Invoice page\",\n meta={\n \"file_path\": \"invoice.pdf\",\n \"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\",\n \"page_number\": 1,\n },\n ),\n]\n\nembedder = AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder(\n model=\"amazon.titan-embed-image-v1\",\n image_size=(1024, 1024), # optional downscaling\n)\n\nresult = embedder.run(documents=documents)\nembedded_docs = result[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn this example, we can see an indexing pipeline with 3 components:\n\n- `ImageFileToDocument` Converter that creates empty documents with a reference to an image in the `meta.file_path` field;\n- `AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder` that loads the images, computes embeddings and stores them in documents;\n- `DocumentWriter` that write the documents in the `InMemoryDocumentStore`.\n\nThere is also a multimodal retrieval pipeline, composed of an `AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder` (using the same model as before) and an `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder,\n AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder,\n)\n\n## Document store using vector similarity for retrieval\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\n## Sample corpus with file paths in metadata\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"A sketch of a horse\", meta={\"file_path\": \"horse.png\"}),\n Document(content=\"A city map\", meta={\"file_path\": \"map.jpg\"}),\n]\n\n## Indexing pipeline: image embeddings -> write to store\nindexing = Pipeline()\nindexing.add_component(\n \"image_embedder\",\n AmazonBedrockDocumentImageEmbedder(model=\"cohere.embed-english-v3\"),\n)\nindexing.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing.connect(\"image_embedder\", \"writer\")\nindexing.run({\"image_embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\n## Query pipeline: text -> embedding -> vector retriever\nquery = Pipeline()\nquery.add_component(\n \"text_embedder\",\n AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder(model=\"cohere.embed-english-v3\"),\n)\nquery.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nres = query.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": \"Which document shows a horse?\"}})\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Creating Vision+Text RAG Pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/46_multimodal_rag)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/amazonbedrocktextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder\"\nid: amazonbedrocktextembedder\nslug: \"/amazonbedrocktextembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component computes embeddings for text (such as a query) using models through Amazon Bedrock API.\"\n---\n\n# AmazonBedrockTextEmbedder\n\nThis component computes embeddings for text (such as a query) using models through Amazon Bedrock API.\n\n

You can use the embeddings in your pipeline for tasks like question answering. The QA pipeline with embedding retrieval would then include the following steps:\n\n1. Transform the query into a vector/embedding.\n2. Find similar documents based on the embedding similarity.\n3. Pass the query and the retrieved documents to a Language Model, which can be extractive or generative.\n\n## Text and Document Embedders\n\nThere are two types of Embedders: text and document.\n\nText Embedders work with text strings and are most often used at the beginning of query pipelines. They convert query text into vector embeddings and send them to a Retriever.\n\nDocument Embedders embed Document objects and are most often used in indexing pipelines, after Converters, and before a DocumentWriter. They preserve the Document object format and add an embedding field with a list of float numbers.\n\nYou must use the same embedding model for text and documents. This means that if you use CohereDocumentEmbedder in your indexing pipeline, you must then use CohereTextEmbedder with the same model in your query pipeline.\n\n## API-Based Embedders\n\nThese Embedders use external APIs to generate embeddings. They give you access to powerful models without needing to handle the computing yourself. \n\nThe costs associated with these solutions can vary. Depending on the solution you choose, you pay for the tokens consumed, both sent and generated, or for the hosting of the model, often billed per hour. Refer to the individual providers’ websites for detailed information.\n\nHaystack supports the models offered by a variety of providers: **OpenAI**, **Cohere**, **Jina**, **Azure**, **Mistral**, and **Amazon Bedrock**, with more being added constantly.\n\nAdditionally, you could use Haystack’s **Hugging Face API Embedders** for prototyping with [HF Serverless Inference API](https://huggingface.co/docs/api-inference/en/index) or the [paid HF Inference Endpoints](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints/dedicated).\n\n## On-Premise Embedders\n\nOn-premise Embedders allow you to host open models on your machine/infrastructure. This choice is ideal for local experimentation.\n\nWhen you self-host an embedder, you can choose the model from plenty of open model options. The [Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) can be a good reference point for understanding retrieval performance and model size.\n\nIt is suitable in production scenarios where data privacy concerns drive the decision not to transmit data to external providers and you have ample computational resources (CPU or GPU).\n\nHere are some options available in Haystack:\n\n- **Sentence Transformers**: This library mostly uses PyTorch, so it can be a fast-running option if you’re using a GPU. On the other hand, Sentence Transformers are progressively adding support for more efficient backends, which do not require GPU.\n- **Hugging Face Text Embedding Inference**: This is a library for efficiently serving open embedding models on both CPU and GPU. In Haystack, it can be used via HuggingFace API Embedders.\n- **Hugging Face Optimum:** These Embedders are designed to run models faster on targeted hardware. They implement optimizations that are specific for a certain hardware, such as Intel IPEX.\n- **Fastembed**: Fastembed is optimized for running on standard machines even with low resources. It supports several types of embeddings, including sparse techniques (BM25, SPLADE) and classic dense embeddings.\n- **Ollama:** These Embedders run quantized models on CPU(+GPU). Embedding quality might be lower due to the quantization of regular models. However, this makes these models run efficiently on standard machines.\n- **Nvidia**: Nvidia Embedders are built on Nvidia's NIM and hosted on their optimized cloud platform. They give you both options: using models through their API or deploying models locally with Nvidia NIM.\n\n***\n\n:::info\nSee the full list of Embedders available in Haystack on the main [Embedders](../embedders.mdx) page.\n:::" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/coheredocumentembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CohereDocumentEmbedder\"\nid: coheredocumentembedder\nslug: \"/coheredocumentembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component computes the embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CohereDocumentEmbedder` enriches the metadata of documents with an embedding of their content. To embed a string, you should use the [`CohereTextEmbedder`](coheretextembedder.mdx).\n\nThe component supports the following Cohere models:\n`\"embed-english-v3.0\"`, `\"embed-english-light-v3.0\"`, `\"embed-multilingual-v3.0\"`,\n`\"embed-multilingual-light-v3.0\"`, `\"embed-english-v2.0\"`, `\"embed-english-light-v2.0\"`,\n`\"embed-multilingual-v2.0\"`. The default model is `embed-english-v2.0`. This list of all supported models can be found in Cohere’s [model documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models#representation).\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install cohere-haystack\n```\n\nThe component uses a `COHERE_API_KEY` or `CO_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key`:\n\n```python\nembedder = CohereDocumentEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nTo get a Cohere API key, head over to https://cohere.com/.\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often come with a set of metadata. If they are distinctive and semantically meaningful, you can embed them along with the text of the document to improve retrieval.\n\nYou can do this by using the Document Embedder:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom cohere_haystack.embedders.document_embedder import CohereDocumentEmbedder\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"some text\", meta={\"title\": \"relevant title\", \"page number\": 18})\n\nembedder = CohereDocumentEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\", meta_fields_to_embed=[\"title\"])\n\ndocs_w_embeddings = embedder.run(documents=[doc])[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nRemember to set `COHERE_API_KEY` as an environment variable first, or pass it in directly.\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere.document_embedder import (\n CohereDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\n\nembedder = CohereDocumentEmbedder()\n\nresult = embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n## [-0.453125, 1.2236328, 2.0058594, 0.67871094...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere.document_embedder import (\n CohereDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere.text_embedder import (\n CohereTextEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n]\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"embedder\", CohereDocumentEmbedder())\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", CohereTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., text: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin')\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/coheredocumentimageembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CohereDocumentImageEmbedder\"\nid: coheredocumentimageembedder\nslug: \"/coheredocumentimageembedder\"\ndescription: \"`CohereDocumentImageEmbedder` computes the image embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CohereDocumentImageEmbedder` expects a list of documents containing an image or a PDF file path in a meta field. The meta field can be specified with the `file_path_meta_field` init parameter of this component.\n\nThe embedder efficiently loads the images, computes the embeddings using a Cohere model, and stores each of them in the `embedding` field of the document.\n\n`CohereDocumentImageEmbedder` is commonly used in indexing pipelines. At retrieval time, you need to use the same model with a `CohereTextEmbedder` to embed the query, before using an Embedding Retriever.\n\nThis component is compatible with Cohere Embed models v3 and later. For a complete list of supported models, see the [Cohere documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models#embed).\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install cohere-haystack\n```\n\n### Authentication\n\nThe component uses a `COHERE_API_KEY` or `CO_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) and `Secret.from_token`  method:\n\n```python\nembedder = CohereTextEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nTo get a Cohere API key, head over to https://cohere.com/.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nRemember to set `COHERE_API_KEY` as an environment variable first.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere import (\n CohereDocumentImageEmbedder,\n)\n\nembedder = CohereDocumentImageEmbedder(model=\"embed-v4.0\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"A photo of a cat\", meta={\"file_path\": \"cat.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"A photo of a dog\", meta={\"file_path\": \"dog.jpg\"}),\n]\n\nresult = embedder.run(documents=documents)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = result[\"documents\"]\nprint(documents_with_embeddings)\n\n## [Document(id=...,\n## content='A photo of a cat',\n## meta={'file_path': 'cat.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {'type': 'image', 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'}},\n## embedding=vector of size 1536),\n## ...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn this example, we can see an indexing pipeline with three components:\n\n- `ImageFileToDocument` converter that creates empty documents with a reference to an image in the `meta.file_path` field;\n- `CohereDocumentImageEmbedder` that loads the images, computes embeddings and store them in documents;\n- `DocumentWriter` that writes the documents in the `InMemoryDocumentStore`.\n\nThere is also a multimodal retrieval pipeline, composed of a `CohereTextEmbedder` (using the same model as before) and an `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image import ImageFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere import (\n CohereDocumentImageEmbedder,\n CohereTextEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\n## Indexing pipeline\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"image_converter\", ImageFileToDocument())\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n \"embedder\",\n CohereDocumentImageEmbedder(model=\"embed-v4.0\"),\n)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"image_converter\", \"embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run(data={\"image_converter\": {\"sources\": [\"dog.jpg\", \"hyena.jpeg\"]}})\n\n## Multimodal retrieval pipeline\nretrieval_pipeline = Pipeline()\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\"embedder\", CohereTextEmbedder(model=\"embed-v4.0\"))\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=2),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.connect(\"embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nresult = retrieval_pipeline.run(data={\"text\": \"man's best friend\"})\nprint(result)\n\n## {\n## 'retriever': {\n## 'documents': [\n## Document(\n## id=0c96...,\n## meta={\n## 'file_path': 'dog.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {\n## 'type': 'image',\n## 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'\n## }\n## },\n## score=0.288\n## ),\n## Document(\n## id=5e76...,\n## meta={\n## 'file_path': 'hyena.jpeg',\n## 'embedding_source': {\n## 'type': 'image',\n## 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'\n## }\n## },\n## score=0.248\n## )\n## ]\n## }\n## }\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Creating Vision+Text RAG Pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/46_multimodal_rag)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/coheretextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CohereTextEmbedder\"\nid: coheretextembedder\nslug: \"/coheretextembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component transforms a string into a vector that captures its semantics using a Cohere embedding model.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CohereTextEmbedder` embeds a simple string (such as a query) into a vector. For embedding lists of documents, use the use the [`CohereDocumentEmbedder`](coheredocumentembedder.mdx), which enriches the document with the computed embedding, also known as vector.\n\nThe component supports the following Cohere models:\n`\"embed-english-v3.0\"`, `\"embed-english-light-v3.0\"`, `\"embed-multilingual-v3.0\"`,\n`\"embed-multilingual-light-v3.0\"`, `\"embed-english-v2.0\"`, `\"embed-english-light-v2.0\"`,\n`\"embed-multilingual-v2.0\"`. The default model is `embed-english-v2.0`. This list of all supported models can be found in Cohere’s [model documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models#representation).\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install cohere-haystack\n```\n\nThe component uses a `COHERE_API_KEY` or `CO_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) and `Secret.from_token` static method:\n\n```python\nembedder = CohereTextEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nTo get a Cohere API key, head over to https://cohere.com/.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own. You’ll need to pass in your Cohere API key via Secret or set it as an environment variable called `COHERE_API_KEY`. The examples below assume you've set the environment variable.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere.text_embedder import (\n CohereTextEmbedder,\n)\n\ntext_to_embed = \"I love pizza!\"\n\ntext_embedder = CohereTextEmbedder()\n\nprint(text_embedder.run(text_to_embed))\n## {'embedding': [-0.453125, 1.2236328, 2.0058594, 0.67871094...],\n## 'meta': {'api_version': {'version': '1'}, 'billed_units': {'input_tokens': 4}}}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere.text_embedder import (\n CohereTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.cohere.document_embedder import (\n CohereDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = CohereDocumentEmbedder()\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)[\"documents\"]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", CohereTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., content: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin')\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/external-integrations-embedders.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"External Integrations\"\nid: external-integrations-embedders\nslug: \"/external-integrations-embedders\"\ndescription: \"External integrations that enable transforming texts or documents into vector representations using pre-trained models.\"\n---\n\n# External Integrations\n\nExternal integrations that enable transforming texts or documents into vector representations using pre-trained models.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [mixedbread ai](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/mixedbread-ai) | Compute embeddings for text and documents using mixedbread's API. |\n| [Isaacus](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/isaacus) | Use the latest foundational legal AI models from Isaacus in Haystack. |\n| [Voyage AI](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/voyage) | Computing embeddings for text and documents using Voyage AI embedding models. |\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/fastembeddocumentembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"FastembedDocumentEmbedder\"\nid: fastembeddocumentembedder\nslug: \"/fastembeddocumentembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component computes the embeddings of a list of documents using the models supported by FastEmbed.\"\n---\n\n# FastembedDocumentEmbedder\n\nThis component computes the embeddings of a list of documents using the models supported by FastEmbed.\n\n

\n\nThis component should be used to embed a list of documents. To embed a string, use the [`FastembedTextEmbedder`](fastembedtextembedder.mdx).\n\n## Overview\n\n`FastembedDocumentEmbedder` computes the embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document. It uses embedding [models supported by FastEmbed](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/).\n\nThe vectors computed by this component are necessary to perform embedding retrieval on a collection of documents. At retrieval time, the vector that represents the query is compared with those of the documents in order to find the most similar or relevant documents.\n\n### Compatible models\n\nYou can find the original models in the [FastEmbed documentation](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/).\n\nNowadays, most of the models in the [Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) are compatible with FastEmbed. You can look for compatibility in the [supported model list](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/).\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install fastembed-haystack\n```\n\n### Parameters\n\nYou can set the path where the model will be stored in a cache directory. Also, you can set the number of threads a single `onnxruntime` session can use.\n\n```python\ncache_dir= \"/your_cacheDirectory\"\nembedder = FastembedDocumentEmbedder(\n\t*model=\"*BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5\",\n\tcache_dir=cache_dir,\n\tthreads=2\n)\n```\n\nIf you want to use the data parallel encoding, you can set the parameters `parallel` and `batch_size`.\n\n- If parallel > 1, data-parallel encoding will be used.

\n\nTo compute a sparse embedding for a string, use the [`FastembedSparseTextEmbedder`](fastembedsparsetextembedder.mdx).\n\n## Overview\n\n`FastembedSparseDocumentEmbedder` computes the sparse embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the `sparse_embedding` field of each document. It uses sparse embedding [models](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/#supported-sparse-text-embedding-models) supported by FastEmbed.\n\nThe vectors calculated by this component are necessary for performing sparse embedding retrieval on a set of documents. During retrieval, the sparse vector representing the query is compared to those of the documents to identify the most similar or relevant ones.\n\n### Compatible models\n\nYou can find the supported models in the [FastEmbed documentation](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/#supported-sparse-text-embedding-models).\n\nCurrently, supported models are based on SPLADE, a technique for producing sparse representations for text, where each non-zero value in the embedding is the importance weight of a term in the BERT WordPiece vocabulary. For more information, see [our docs](../retrievers.mdx#sparse-embedding-based-retrievers) that explain sparse embedding-based Retrievers further.\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install fastembed-haystack\n```\n\n### Parameters\n\nYou can set the path where the model will be stored in a cache directory. Also, you can set the number of threads a single `onnxruntime` session can use:\n\n```python\ncache_dir = \"/your_cacheDirectory\"\nembedder = FastembedSparseDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"prithivida/Splade_PP_en_v1\",\n cache_dir=cache_dir,\n threads=2,\n)\n```\n\nIf you want to use the data parallel encoding, you can set the parameters `parallel` and `batch_size`.\n\n- If `parallel` > 1, data-parallel encoding will be used. This is recommended for offline encoding of large datasets.\n- If `parallel` is 0, use all available cores.\n- If None, don't use data-parallel processing; use default `onnxruntime` threading instead.\n\n:::tip\nIf you create both a Sparse Text Embedder and a Sparse Document Embedder based on the same model, Haystack utilizes a shared resource behind the scenes to conserve resources.\n:::\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often include metadata.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder` enriches the metadata of documents with an embedding of their content. To embed a string, you should use the [`GoogleGenAITextEmbedder`](googlegenaitextembedder.mdx).\n\nThe component supports the following Google AI models:\n\n- `text-embedding-004` (default)\n- `text-embedding-004-v2`\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install google-genai-haystack\n```\n\n### Authentication\n\nGoogle Gen AI is compatible with both the Gemini Developer API and the Vertex AI API.\n\nTo use this component with the Gemini Developer API and get an API key, visit [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/).\nTo use this component with the Vertex AI API, visit [Google Cloud > Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai).\n\nThe component uses a `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) and `Secret.from_token` static method:\n\n```python\nembedder = GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nThe following examples show how to use the component with the Gemini Developer API and the Vertex AI API.\n\n#### Gemini Developer API (API Key Authentication)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\n## set the environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY)\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder()\n```\n\n#### Vertex AI (Application Default Credentials)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\n## Using Application Default Credentials (requires gcloud auth setup)\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder(\n api=\"vertex\",\n vertex_ai_project=\"my-project\",\n vertex_ai_location=\"us-central1\",\n)\n```\n\n#### Vertex AI (API Key Authentication)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\n## set the environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY)\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder(api=\"vertex\")\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often come with a set of metadata. If they are distinctive and semantically meaningful, you can embed them along with the text of the document to improve retrieval.\n\nYou can do this by using the Document Embedder:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"some text\", meta={\"title\": \"relevant title\", \"page number\": 18})\n\nembedder = GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n meta_fields_to_embed=[\"title\"],\n)\n\ndocs_w_embeddings = embedder.run(documents=[doc])[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder` expects a list of documents containing a file path in a meta field. The meta field can be specified with the `file_path_meta_field` init parameter of this component.\n\nThe embedder efficiently loads the files, computes the embeddings using a Google AI model, and stores each of them in the `embedding` field of the document.\n\n`GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder` is commonly used in indexing pipelines. At retrieval time, you need to use the same model with a `GoogleGenAITextEmbedder` to embed the query, before using an Embedding Retriever.\n\nThis component is compatible with Gemini multimodal models: `gemini-embedding-2-preview` and later. For a complete list of supported models, see the [Google AI documentation](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/embeddings).\n\nTo embed a textual document, you should use the [`GoogleGenAIDocumentEmbedder`](googlegenaidocumentembedder.mdx).\nTo embed a string, you should use the [`GoogleGenAITextEmbedder`](googlegenaitextembedder.mdx).\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install google-genai-haystack\n```\n\n### Authentication\n\nGoogle Gen AI is compatible with both the Gemini Developer API and the Vertex AI API.\n\nTo use this component with the Gemini Developer API and get an API key, visit [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/).\nTo use this component with the Vertex AI API, visit [Google Cloud > Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai).\n\nThe component uses a `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) and `Secret.from_token` static method:\n\n```python\nembedder = GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n```\n\nThe following examples show how to use the component with the Gemini Developer API and the Vertex AI API.\n\n#### Gemini Developer API (API Key Authentication)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\n## set the environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY)\nembedder = GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder()\n```\n\n#### Vertex AI (Application Default Credentials)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\n## Using Application Default Credentials (requires gcloud auth setup)\nembedder = GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder(\n api=\"vertex\",\n vertex_ai_project=\"my-project\",\n vertex_ai_location=\"us-central1\",\n)\n```\n\n#### Vertex AI (API Key Authentication)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\n## set the environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY)\nembedder = GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder(api=\"vertex\")\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own. You'll need to pass in your Google API key via Secret or set it as an environment variable called `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`.\nThe examples below assume you've set the environment variable.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocs = [\n Document(meta={\"file_path\": \"path/to/image.jpg\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_path\": \"path/to/video.mp4\"}),\n Document(meta={\"file_path\": \"path/to/pdf.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1}),\n Document(meta={\"file_path\": \"path/to/pdf.pdf\", \"page_number\": 3}),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder()\n\nresult = document_embedder.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n## [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]\n```\n\n### Setting embedding dimensions\n\nModels like `gemini-embedding-2-preview` have a default embedding dimension of 3072, but, thanks to\nMatryoshka Representation Learning, it's possible to reduce embedding size while keeping similar performance.\n\nCheck the [Google AI documentation](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/embeddings#control-embedding-size) for more information.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocs = [Document(meta={\"file_path\": \"path/to/image.jpg\"})]\n\ndoc_multimodal_embedder = GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder(\n config={\"output_dimensionality\": 768},\n)\ndocs_with_embeddings = doc_multimodal_embedder.run(docs)[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn the following example, we look for a specific plot in the \"Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models\" paper (PDF format).\n\nYou first need to download the PDF file from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.11416.pdf.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAITextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\npaper_path = \"2210.11416.pdf\"\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(meta={\"file_path\": paper_path, \"page_number\": i}) for i in range(1, 16)\n]\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"embedder\", GoogleGenAIMultimodalDocumentEmbedder())\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", GoogleGenAITextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"plot showing BBH accuracy\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0].meta)\n\n# {'file_path': '2210.11416.pdf', 'page_number': 9}\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/googlegenaitextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"GoogleGenAITextEmbedder\"\nid: googlegenaitextembedder\nslug: \"/googlegenaitextembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component transforms a string into a vector that captures its semantics using a Google AI embedding models.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder` can be used to compute document embeddings using different Hugging Face APIs:\n\n- [Free Serverless Inference API](https://huggingface.co/inference-api)\n- [Paid Inference Endpoints](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints)\n- [Self-hosted Text Embeddings Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference)\n\n:::info\nThis component should be used to embed a list of documents. To embed a string, use [`HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder`](huggingfaceapitextembedder.mdx).\n:::\n\nThe component uses a `HF_API_TOKEN` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass a Hugging Face API token at initialization with `token` – see code examples below.\nThe token is needed:\n\n- If you use the Serverless Inference API, or\n- If you use the Inference Endpoints.\n\n## Usage\n\nSimilarly to other Document Embedders, this component allows adding prefixes (and postfixes) to include instruction and embedding metadata.\nFor more fine-grained details, refer to the component’s [API reference](/reference/embedders-api#huggingfaceapidocumentembedder).\n\n### On its own\n\n#### Using Free Serverless Inference API\n\nFormerly known as (free) Hugging Face Inference API, this API allows you to quickly experiment with many models hosted on the Hugging Face Hub, offloading the inference to Hugging Face servers. It’s rate-limited and not meant for production.\n\nTo use this API, you need a [free Hugging Face token](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens).\nThe Embedder expects the `model` in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\n\ndocument_embedder = HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder(\n api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"},\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n\nresult = document_embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n\n## [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]\n```\n\n#### Using Paid Inference Endpoints\n\nIn this case, a private instance of the model is deployed by Hugging Face, and you typically pay per hour.\n\nTo understand how to spin up an Inference Endpoint, visit [Hugging Face documentation](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints/dedicated).\n\nAdditionally, in this case, you need to provide your Hugging Face token.\nThe Embedder expects the `url` of your endpoint in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\n\ndocument_embedder = HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder(\n api_type=\"inference_endpoints\",\n api_params={\"url\": \"\"},\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n\nresult = document_embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n\n## [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]\n```\n\n#### Using Self-Hosted Text Embeddings Inference (TEI)\n\n[Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference) is a toolkit for efficiently deploying and serving text embedding models.\n\nWhile it powers the most recent versions of Serverless Inference API and Inference Endpoints, it can be used easily on-premise through Docker.\n\nFor example, you can run a TEI container as follows:\n\n```shell\nmodel=BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5\nrevision=refs/pr/5\nvolume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run\n\ndocker run --gpus all -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data --pull always ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:1.2 --model-id $model --revision $revision\n```\n\nFor more information, refer to the [official TEI repository](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference).\n\nThe Embedder expects the `url` of your TEI instance in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\n\ndocument_embedder = HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder(\n api_type=\"text_embeddings_inference\",\n api_params={\"url\": \"http://localhost:8080\"},\n)\n\nresult = document_embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n\n## [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder, HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\")]\n\ndocument_embedder = HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder(api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n\t\t\t\t api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"})\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"document_embedder\", document_embedder)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"doc_writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store)\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"document_embedder\", \"doc_writer\")\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"document_embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\ntext_embedder = HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder(api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"})\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", text_embedder)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"retriever\", InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store))\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\":{\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result['retriever']['documents'][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., content: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin', ...)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/huggingfaceapitextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder\"\nid: huggingfaceapitextembedder\nslug: \"/huggingfaceapitextembedder\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to embed strings using various Hugging Face APIs.\"\n---\n\n# HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder\n\nUse this component to embed strings using various Hugging Face APIs.\n\n

It’s rate-limited and not meant for production.\n\nTo use this API, you need a [free Hugging Face token](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens).\nThe Embedder expects the `model` in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ntext_embedder = HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder(\n api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"},\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n\nprint(text_embedder.run(\"I love pizza!\"))\n\n## {'embedding': [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]}\n```\n\n#### Using Paid Inference Endpoints\n\nIn this case, a private instance of the model is deployed by Hugging Face, and you typically pay per hour.\n\nTo understand how to spin up an Inference Endpoint, visit [Hugging Face documentation](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints/dedicated).\n\nAdditionally, in this case, you need to provide your Hugging Face token.\nThe Embedder expects the `url` of your endpoint in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ntext_embedder = HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder(\n api_type=\"inference_endpoints\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"},\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n\nprint(text_embedder.run(\"I love pizza!\"))\n\n## {'embedding': [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]}\n```\n\n#### Using Self-Hosted Text Embeddings Inference (TEI)\n\n[Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference) is a toolkit for efficiently deploying and serving text embedding models.\n\nWhile it powers the most recent versions of Serverless Inference API and Inference Endpoints, it can be used easily on-premise through Docker.\n\nFor example, you can run a TEI container as follows:\n\n```shell\nmodel=BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5\nrevision=refs/pr/5\nvolume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run\n\ndocker run --gpus all -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data --pull always ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:1.2 --model-id $model --revision $revision\n```\n\nFor more information, refer to the [official TEI repository](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference).\n\nThe Embedder expects the `url` of your TEI instance in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ntext_embedder = HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder(\n api_type=\"text_embeddings_inference\",\n api_params={\"url\": \"http://localhost:8080\"},\n)\n\nprint(text_embedder.run(\"I love pizza!\"))\n\n## {'embedding': [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...],\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder,\n HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = HuggingFaceAPIDocumentEmbedder(\n api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"},\n)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)[\"documents\"]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings)\n\ntext_embedder = HuggingFaceAPITextEmbedder(\n api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5\"},\n)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", text_embedder)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., content: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin', ...)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/jinadocumentembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"JinaDocumentEmbedder\"\nid: jinadocumentembedder\nslug: \"/jinadocumentembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component computes the embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`JinaDocumentEmbedder` enriches the metadata of documents with an embedding of their content. To embed a string, you should use the [`JinaTextEmbedder`](jinatextembedder.mdx). To see the list of compatible Jina Embeddings models, head to Jina AI’s [website](https://jina.ai/embeddings/). The default model for `JinaDocumentEmbedder` is `jina-embeddings-v2-base-en`.\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install jina-haystack\n```\n\nThe component uses a `JINA_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key`:\n\n```python\nembedder = JinaDocumentEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nTo get a Jina Embeddings API key, head to https://jina.ai/embeddings/.\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often come with a set of metadata. If they are distinctive and semantically meaningful, you can embed them along with the text of the document to improve retrieval.\n\nYou can do this easily by using the Document Embedder:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.jina import JinaDocumentEmbedder\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"some text\", meta={\"title\": \"relevant title\", \"page number\": 18})\n\nembedder = JinaDocumentEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n meta_fields_to_embed=[\"title\"],\n)\n\ndocs_w_embeddings = embedder.run(documents=[doc])[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.jina import JinaDocumentEmbedder\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\n\ndocument_embedder = JinaDocumentEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n\nresult = document_embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n\n## [0.017020374536514282, -0.023255806416273117, ...]\n```\n\n:::info\nWe recommend setting JINA_API_KEY as an environment variable instead of setting it as a parameter.\n:::\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.jina import JinaDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.jina import JinaTextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n]\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n \"embedder\",\n JinaDocumentEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\")),\n)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"text_embedder\",\n JinaTextEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\")),\n)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., mimetype: 'text/plain',\n## text: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin')\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Using the Jina-embeddings-v2-base-en model in a Haystack RAG pipeline for legal document analysis](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/jina-embeddings-v2-legal-analysis-rag)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/jinadocumentimageembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"JinaDocumentImageEmbedder\"\nid: jinadocumentimageembedder\nslug: \"/jinadocumentimageembedder\"\ndescription: \"`JinaDocumentImageEmbedder` computes the image embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`JinaDocumentImageEmbedder` expects a list of documents containing an image or a PDF file path in a meta field. The meta field can be specified with the `file_path_meta_field` init parameter of this component.\n\nThe embedder efficiently loads the images, computes the embeddings using a Jina model, and stores each of them in the `embedding` field of the document.\n\n`JinaDocumentImageEmbedder` is commonly used in indexing pipelines. At retrieval time, you need to use the same model with a `JinaTextEmbedder` to embed the query, before using an Embedding Retriever.\n\nThis component is compatible with Jina multimodal embedding models:\n\n- `jina-clip-v1`\n- `jina-clip-v2` (default)\n- `jina-embeddings-v4` (non-commercial research only)\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install jina-haystack\n```\n\n### Authentication\n\nThe component uses a `JINA_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) and `Secret.from_token`  method:\n\n```python\nembedder = JinaDocumentImageEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nTo get a Cohere API key, head over to https://jina.ai/embeddings/.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nRemember to set `JINA_API_KEY` as an environment variable first.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.jina import JinaDocumentImageEmbedder\n\nembedder = JinaDocumentImageEmbedder(model=\"jina-clip-v2\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"A photo of a cat\", meta={\"file_path\": \"cat.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"A photo of a dog\", meta={\"file_path\": \"dog.jpg\"}),\n]\n\nresult = embedder.run(documents=documents)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = result[\"documents\"]\nprint(documents_with_embeddings)\n\n## [Document(id=...,\n## content='A photo of a cat',\n## meta={'file_path': 'cat.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {'type': 'image', 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'}},\n## embedding=vector of size 1024),\n## ...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn this example, we can see an indexing pipeline with 3 components:\n\n- `ImageFileToDocument` Converter that creates empty documents with a reference to an image in the `meta.file_path` field.\n- `JinaDocumentImageEmbedder` that loads the images, computes embeddings and store them in documents. Here, we set the `image_size` parameter to resize the image to fit within the specified dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio. This reduces API usage.\n- `DocumentWriter` that writes the documents in the `InMemoryDocumentStore`.\n\nThere is also a multimodal retrieval pipeline, composed of a `JinaTextEmbedder` (using the same model as before) and an `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image import ImageFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.jina import (\n JinaDocumentImageEmbedder,\n JinaTextEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\n## Indexing pipeline\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"image_converter\", ImageFileToDocument())\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n \"embedder\",\n JinaDocumentImageEmbedder(model=\"jina-clip-v2\", image_size=(200, 200)),\n)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"image_converter\", \"embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run(data={\"image_converter\": {\"sources\": [\"dog.jpg\", \"cat.jpg\"]}})\n\n## Multimodal retrieval pipeline\nretrieval_pipeline = Pipeline()\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\"embedder\", JinaTextEmbedder(model=\"jina-clip-v2\"))\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=2),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.connect(\"embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nresult = retrieval_pipeline.run(data={\"text\": \"man's best friend\"})\nprint(result)\n\n## {\n## 'retriever': {\n## 'documents': [\n## Document(\n## id=0c96...,\n## meta={\n## 'file_path': 'dog.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {\n## 'type': 'image',\n## 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'\n## }\n## },\n## score=0.246\n## ),\n## Document(\n## id=5e76...,\n## meta={\n## 'file_path': 'cat.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {\n## 'type': 'image',\n## 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'\n## }\n## },\n## score=0.199\n## )\n## ]\n## }\n## }\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Creating Vision+Text RAG Pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/46_multimodal_rag)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/jinatextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"JinaTextEmbedder\"\nid: jinatextembedder\nslug: \"/jinatextembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component transforms a string into a vector that captures its semantics using a Jina Embeddings model.

\n\nThis component should be used to embed a list of Documents.

\n\nUse `MistalTextEmbedder` to embed a simple string (such as a query) into a vector. For embedding lists of documents, use the [`MistralDocumentEmbedder`](mistraldocumentembedder.mdx), which enriches the document with the computed embedding, also known as vector.\n\n## Overview\n\n`MistralTextEmbedder` transforms a string into a vector that captures its semantics using a Mistral embedding model.\n\nThe component currently supports the `mistral-embed` embedding model. The list of all supported models can be found in Mistral’s [embedding models documentation](https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/endpoints/#embedding-models).\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install mistral-haystack\n```\n\n`MistralTextEmbedder` needs a Mistral API key to work. It uses a `MISTRAL_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key`:\n\n```python\nembedder = MistralTextEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n model=\"mistral-embed\",\n)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nRemember to set the`MISTRAL_API_KEY` as an environment variable first or pass it in directly.\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own:\n\n```python\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.mistral.text_embedder import (\n MistralTextEmbedder,\n)\n\nembedder = MistralTextEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n model=\"mistral-embed\",\n)\n\nresult = embedder.run(text=\"How can I ise the Mistral embedding models with Haystack?\")\n\nprint(result[\"embedding\"])\n## [-0.0015687942504882812, 0.052154541015625, 0.037109375...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of the `MistralTextEmbedder` in a document search pipeline. We are building this pipeline on top of an `InMemoryDocumentStore` where we index the contents of two URLs.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.mistral.document_embedder import (\n MistralDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.mistral.text_embedder import (\n MistralTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Initialize document store\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\n## Indexing components\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\nconverter = HTMLToDocument()\nembedder = MistralDocumentEmbedder()\nwriter = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store)\n\nindexing = Pipeline()\nindexing.add_component(name=\"fetcher\", instance=fetcher)\nindexing.add_component(name=\"converter\", instance=converter)\nindexing.add_component(name=\"embedder\", instance=embedder)\nindexing.add_component(name=\"writer\", instance=writer)\n\nindexing.connect(\"fetcher\", \"converter\")\nindexing.connect(\"converter\", \"embedder\")\nindexing.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing.run(\n data={\n \"fetcher\": {\n \"urls\": [\n \"https://docs.mistral.ai/self-deployment/cloudflare/\",\n \"https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/endpoints/\",\n ],\n },\n },\n)\n\n## Retrieval components\ntext_embedder = MistralTextEmbedder()\nretriever = InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n\n## Define prompt template\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"You are a helpful assistant.\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Given the retrieved documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\\n\"\n \"{% for document in documents %}{{ document.content }}{% endfor %}\\n\"\n \"Question: {{ query }}\\nAnswer:\",\n ),\n]\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=prompt_template,\n required_variables={\"query\", \"documents\"},\n)\nllm = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4o-mini\",\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n\ndoc_search = Pipeline()\ndoc_search.add_component(\"text_embedder\", text_embedder)\ndoc_search.add_component(\"retriever\", retriever)\ndoc_search.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\ndoc_search.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\n\ndoc_search.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\ndoc_search.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\ndoc_search.connect(\"prompt_builder.messages\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nquery = \"How can I deploy Mistral models with Cloudflare?\"\n\nresult = doc_search.run(\n {\n \"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query},\n \"retriever\": {\"top_k\": 1},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": query},\n },\n)\n\nprint(result[\"llm\"][\"replies\"])\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/nvidiadocumentembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"NvidiaDocumentEmbedder\"\nid: nvidiadocumentembedder\nslug: \"/nvidiadocumentembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component computes the embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document.\"\n---\n\n# NvidiaDocumentEmbedder\n\nThis component computes the embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the embedding field of each document.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder` should be used to embed a list of documents. To embed a string, use the [SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder](sentencetransformerstextembedder.mdx).\n\n### Authentication\n\nAuthentication with a Hugging Face API Token is only required to access private or gated models through Serverless Inference API or the Inference Endpoints.\n\nThe component uses an `HF_API_TOKEN` or `HF_TOKEN` environment variable, or you can pass a Hugging Face API token at initialization. See our [Secret Management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) page for more information.\n\n```python\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n```\n\n### Compatible Models\n\nThe default embedding model is [\\`sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2)\\`. You can specify another model with the `model` parameter when initializing this component.\n\nSee the original models in the Sentence Transformers [documentation](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html).\n\nNowadays, most of the models in the [Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) are compatible with Sentence Transformers.\nYou can look for compatibility in the model card: [an example related to BGE models](https://huggingface.co/BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5#using-sentence-transformers).\n\n### Instructions\n\nSome recent models that you can find in MTEB require prepending the text with an instruction to work better for retrieval.\nFor example, if you use [intfloat/e5-large-v2](https://huggingface.co/BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5#model-list), you should prefix your document with the following instruction: “passage:”\n\nThis is how it works with `SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder`:\n\n```python\nembedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"intfloat/e5-large-v2\",\n prefix=\"passage\",\n)\n```\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often come with a set of metadata.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder` expects a list of documents containing an image or a PDF file path in a meta field. The meta field can be specified with the `file_path_meta_field` init parameter of this component.\n\nThe embedder efficiently loads the images, computes the embeddings using a Sentence Transformers models, and stores each of them in the `embedding` field of the document.\n\n`SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder` is commonly used in indexing pipelines. At retrieval time, you need to use the same model with a `SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder` to embed the query before using an Embedding Retriever.\n\nYou can set the `device` parameter to use HF models on your CPU or GPU.\n\nAdditionally, you can select the backend to use for the Sentence Transformers mode with the `backend` parameterl: `torch` (default), `onnx`, or `openvino`.

See our [Secret Management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) page for more information.\n\n### Compatible Models\n\nTo be used with this component, the model must be compatible with Sentence Transformers and\n\nable to embed images and text into the same vector space. Compatible models include:\n\n- `sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32` (default)\n- `sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-L-14`\n- `sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-16`\n- `sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32-multilingual-v1`\n- `jinaai/jina-embeddings-v4`\n- `jinaai/jina-clip-v1`\n- `jinaai/jina-clip-v2`\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.embedders.image import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder,\n)\n\nembedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32\",\n)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"A photo of a cat\", meta={\"file_path\": \"cat.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"A photo of a dog\", meta={\"file_path\": \"dog.jpg\"}),\n]\n\nresult = embedder.run(documents=documents)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = result[\"documents\"]\nprint(documents_with_embeddings)\n\n## [Document(id=...,\n## content='A photo of a cat',\n## meta={'file_path': 'cat.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {'type': 'image', 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'}},\n## embedding=vector of size 512),\n## ...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn this example, we can see an indexing pipeline with 3 components:\n\n- `ImageFileToDocument` Converter that creates empty documents with a reference to an image in the `meta.file_path` field,\n- `SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder` that loads the images, computes embeddings and stores them in documents,\n- `DocumentWriter` that writes the documents in the `InMemoryDocumentStore`\n\nThere is also a multimodal retrieval pipeline, composed by a `SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder` (using the same model as before) and an `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters.image import ImageFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.embedders.image import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\n## Indexing pipeline\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"image_converter\", ImageFileToDocument())\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n \"embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersDocumentImageEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32\",\n ),\n)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"image_converter\", \"embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run(data={\"image_converter\": {\"sources\": [\"dog.jpg\", \"hyena.jpeg\"]}})\n\n## Multimodal retrieval pipeline\nretrieval_pipeline = Pipeline()\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=\"sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32\"),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=2),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"retriever\")\n\nresult = retrieval_pipeline.run(data={\"text\": \"man's best friend\"})\nprint(result)\n\n## {\n## 'retriever': {\n## 'documents': [\n## Document(\n## id=0c96...,\n## meta={\n## 'file_path': 'dog.jpg',\n## 'embedding_source': {\n## 'type': 'image',\n## 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'\n## }\n## },\n## score=32.025817780129856\n## ),\n## Document(\n## id=5e76...,\n## meta={\n## 'file_path': 'hyena.jpeg',\n## 'embedding_source': {\n## 'type': 'image',\n## 'file_path_meta_field': 'file_path'\n## }\n## },\n## score=20.648225327085242\n## )\n## ]\n## }\n## }\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Introduction to Multimodality](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/multimodal_intro)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/sentencetransformerssparsedocumentembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder\"\nid: sentencetransformerssparsedocumentembedder\nslug: \"/sentencetransformerssparsedocumentembedder\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to enrich a list of documents with their sparse embeddings using Sentence Transformers models.\"\n---\n\n# SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder\n\nUse this component to enrich a list of documents with their sparse embeddings using Sentence Transformers models.\n\n

\n\nTo compute a sparse embedding for a string, use the [`SentenceTransformersSparseTextEmbedder`](sentencetransformerssparsetextembedder.mdx).\n\n## Overview\n\n`SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder` computes the sparse embeddings of a list of documents and stores the obtained vectors in the `sparse_embedding` field of each document. It uses sparse embedding models supported by the Sentence Transformers library.\n\nThe vectors computed by this component are necessary to perform sparse embedding retrieval on a collection of documents. At retrieval time, the sparse vector representing the query is compared with those of the documents to find the most similar or relevant ones.\n\n### Compatible Models\n\nThe default embedding model is [`prithivida/Splade_PP_en_v2`](https://huggingface.co/prithivida/Splade_PP_en_v2). You can specify another model with the `model` parameter when initializing this component.\n\nCompatible models are based on SPLADE (SParse Lexical AnD Expansion), a technique for producing sparse representations for text, where each non-zero value in the embedding is the importance weight of a term in the vocabulary. This approach combines the benefits of learned sparse representations with the efficiency of traditional sparse retrieval methods. For more information, see [our docs](../retrievers.mdx#sparse-embedding-based-retrievers) that explain sparse embedding-based Retrievers further.\n\nYou can find compatible SPLADE models on the [Hugging Face Model Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=splade).\n\n### Authentication\n\nAuthentication with a Hugging Face API Token is only required to access private or gated models.\n\nThe component uses an `HF_API_TOKEN` or `HF_TOKEN` environment variable, or you can pass a Hugging Face API token at initialization. See our [Secret Management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) page for more information.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder(\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n```\n\n### Backend Options\n\nThis component supports multiple backends for model execution:\n\n- **torch** (default): Standard PyTorch backend\n- **onnx**: Optimized ONNX Runtime backend for faster inference\n- **openvino**: Intel OpenVINO backend for additional optimizations on Intel hardware\n\nYou can specify the backend during initialization:\n\n```python\nembedder = SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"prithivida/Splade_PP_en_v2\",\n backend=\"onnx\",\n)\n```\n\nFor more information on acceleration and quantization options, refer to the [Sentence Transformers documentation](https://sbert.net/docs/sentence_transformer/usage/efficiency.html).\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often include metadata. If the metadata is distinctive and semantically meaningful, you can embed it along with the document's text to improve retrieval.\n\nYou can do this easily by using the Sparse Document Embedder:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"some text\", meta={\"title\": \"relevant title\", \"page number\": 18})\n\nembedder = SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder(meta_fields_to_embed=[\"title\"])\n\ndocs_w_sparse_embeddings = embedder.run(documents=[doc])[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder()\n\nresult = doc_embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].sparse_embedding)\n\n## SparseEmbedding(indices=[999, 1045, ...], values=[0.918, 0.867, ...])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nCurrently, sparse embedding retrieval is only supported by `QdrantDocumentStore`.\n\nFirst, install the required package:\n\n```shell\npip install qdrant-haystack\n```\n\nThen, try out this pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersSparseTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.qdrant import (\n QdrantSparseEmbeddingRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.qdrant import QdrantDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\n\ndocument_store = QdrantDocumentStore(\n \":memory:\",\n recreate_index=True,\n use_sparse_embeddings=True,\n)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n Document(content=\"Sentence Transformers provides sparse embedding models.\"),\n]\n\n## Indexing pipeline\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n \"sparse_document_embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersSparseDocumentEmbedder(),\n)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n \"writer\",\n DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store, policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE),\n)\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"sparse_document_embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"sparse_document_embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\n## Query pipeline\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"sparse_text_embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersSparseTextEmbedder(),\n)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"sparse_retriever\",\n QdrantSparseEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\n \"sparse_text_embedder.sparse_embedding\",\n \"sparse_retriever.query_sparse_embedding\",\n)\n\nquery = \"Who provides sparse embedding models?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"sparse_text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"sparse_retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=...,\n## content: 'Sentence Transformers provides sparse embedding models.',\n## score: 0.75...)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/sentencetransformerssparsetextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"SentenceTransformersSparseTextEmbedder\"\nid: sentencetransformerssparsetextembedder\nslug: \"/sentencetransformerssparsetextembedder\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to embed a simple string (such as a query) into a sparse vector using Sentence Transformers models.\"\n---\n\n# SentenceTransformersSparseTextEmbedder\n\nUse this component to embed a simple string (such as a query) into a sparse vector using Sentence Transformers models.\n\n

You can specify another model with the `model` parameter when initializing this component.\n\nSee the original models in the Sentence Transformers [documentation](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html).\n\nNowadays, most of the models in the [Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) are compatible with Sentence Transformers.\nYou can look for compatibility in the model card: [an example related to BGE models](https://huggingface.co/BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5#using-sentence-transformers).\n\n### Instructions\n\nSome recent models that you can find in MTEB require prepending the text with an instruction to work better for retrieval.\nFor example, if you use [BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5](https://huggingface.co/BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5#model-list), you should prefix your query with the following instruction: “Represent this sentence for searching relevant passages:”\n\nThis is how it works with `SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder`:\n\n```python\ninstruction = \"Represent this sentence for searching relevant passages:\"\nembedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(\n\t*model=\"*BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5\",\n\tprefix=instruction)\n```\n\n:::tip\nIf you create a Text Embedder and a Document Embedder based on the same model, Haystack takes care of using the same resource behind the scenes in order to save resources.\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\n\ntext_to_embed = \"I love pizza!\"\n\ntext_embedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder()\n\nprint(text_embedder.run(text_to_embed))\n\n## {'embedding': [-0.07804739475250244, 0.1498992145061493,, ...]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)[\"documents\"]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., mimetype: 'text/plain',\n## text: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin')\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/stackitdocumentembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"STACKITDocumentEmbedder\"\nid: stackitdocumentembedder\nslug: \"/stackitdocumentembedder\"\ndescription: \"This component enables document embedding using the STACKIT API.\"\n---\n\n# STACKITDocumentEmbedder\n\nThis component enables document embedding using the STACKIT API.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`STACKITDocumentEmbedder` enables document embedding models served by STACKIT through their API.\n\n### Parameters\n\nTo use the `STACKITDocumentEmbedder`, ensure you have set a `STACKIT_API_KEY` as an environment variable.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`WatsonxDocumentEmbedder` enriches the metadata of documents with an embedding of their content. To embed a string, you should use the [`WatsonxTextEmbedder`](watsonxtextembedder.mdx).\n\nThe component supports IBM watsonx.ai embedding models such as `ibm/slate-30m-english-rtrvr` and similar. The default model is `ibm/slate-30m-english-rtrvr`. This list of all supported models can be found in IBM's [model documentation](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/analyze-data/fm-models-embed.html?context=wx).\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install watsonx-haystack\n```\n\nThe component uses `WATSONX_API_KEY` and `WATSONX_PROJECT_ID` environment variables by default. Otherwise, you can pass API credentials at initialization with `api_key` and `project_id`:\n\n```python\nembedder = WatsonxDocumentEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n project_id=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n```\n\nTo get IBM Cloud credentials, head over to https://cloud.ibm.com/.\n\n### Embedding Metadata\n\nText documents often come with a set of metadata. If they are distinctive and semantically meaningful, you can embed them along with the text of the document to improve retrieval.\n\nYou can do this by using the Document Embedder:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.watsonx.document_embedder import (\n WatsonxDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"some text\", meta={\"title\": \"relevant title\", \"page number\": 18})\n\nembedder = WatsonxDocumentEmbedder(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"WATSONX_API_KEY\"),\n project_id=Secret.from_env_var(\"WATSONX_PROJECT_ID\"),\n meta_fields_to_embed=[\"title\"],\n)\n\ndocs_w_embeddings = embedder.run(documents=[doc])[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `watsonx-haystack` package to use the `WatsonxDocumentEmbedder`:\n\n```shell\npip install watsonx-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nRemember to set `WATSONX_API_KEY` and `WATSONX_PROJECT_ID` as environment variables first, or pass them in directly.\n\nHere is how you can use the component on its own:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.watsonx.document_embedder import (\n WatsonxDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\n\nembedder = WatsonxDocumentEmbedder()\n\nresult = embedder.run([doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].embedding)\n## [-0.453125, 1.2236328, 2.0058594, 0.67871094...]\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.watsonx.document_embedder import (\n WatsonxDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.embedders.watsonx.text_embedder import (\n WatsonxTextEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"I saw a black horse running\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany has many big cities\"),\n]\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"embedder\", WatsonxDocumentEmbedder())\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", WatsonxTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"Who lives in Berlin?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n\n## Document(id=..., text: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin')\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/embedders/watsonxtextembedder.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"WatsonxTextEmbedder\"\nid: watsonxtextembedder\nslug: \"/watsonxtextembedder\"\ndescription: \"When you perform embedding retrieval, you use this component to transform your query into a vector.

The default model for `WatsonxTextEmbedder` is `ibm/slate-30m-english-rtrvr`.

\n\n## Overview\n\nYou can use the `AnswerExactMatchEvaluator` component to evaluate answers predicted by a Haystack pipeline, such as an extractive question answering pipeline, against ground truth labels. As the `AnswerExactMatchEvaluator` checks whether a predicted answer exactly matches the ground truth answer. It is not suited to evaluate answers generated by LLMs, for example, in a RAG pipeline. Use `FaithfulnessEvaluator` or `SASEvaluator` instead.\n\nTo initialize an `AnswerExactMatchEvaluator`, there are no parameters required.\n\nNote that only _one_ predicted answer is compared to _one_ ground truth answer at a time. The component does not support multiple ground truth answers for the same question or multiple answers predicted for the same question.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example of using an `AnswerExactMatchEvaluator` component to evaluate two answers and compare them to ground truth answers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import AnswerExactMatchEvaluator\n\nevaluator = AnswerExactMatchEvaluator()\nresult = evaluator.run(\n ground_truth_answers=[\"Berlin\", \"Paris\"],\n predicted_answers=[\"Berlin\", \"Lyon\"],\n)\n\nprint(result[\"individual_scores\"])\n## [1, 0]\nprint(result[\"score\"])\n## 0.5\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example where we use an `AnswerExactMatchEvaluator` and a `SASEvaluator` in a pipeline to evaluate two answers and compare them to ground truth answers.

\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| **Most common position in a pipeline** | On its own or in an evaluation pipeline. To be used after a separate pipeline that has generated the inputs for the Evaluator. |\n| **Mandatory run variables** | `questions`: A list of questions

`contexts`: A list of a list of contexts, which are the contents of documents. This accounts for one list of contexts per question. |\n| **Output variables** | A dictionary containing:

\\- `score`: A number from 0.0 to 1.0 that represents the mean average precision

- `individual_scores`: A list of the individual average precision scores ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 for each input pair of a list of retrieved documents and a list of ground truth documents

- `results`: A list of dictionaries with keys `statements` and `statement_scores`. They contain the statements extracted by an LLM from each context and the corresponding context relevance scores per statement, which are either 0 or 1. |\n| **API reference** | [Evaluators](/reference/evaluators-api) |\n| **GitHub link** | https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/components/evaluators/context_relevance.py |\n\n
\n\n## Overview\n\nYou can use the `ContextRelevanceEvaluator` component to evaluate documents retrieved by a Haystack pipeline, such as a RAG pipeline, without ground truth labels. The component breaks up the context into multiple statements and checks whether each statement is relevant for answering a question. The final score for the context relevance is a number from 0.0 to 1.0 and represents the proportion of statements that are relevant to the provided question.\n\n### Parameters\n\nThe default model for this Evaluator is `gpt-4o-mini`. You can override the model using the `chat_generator` parameter during initialization. This needs to be a Chat Generator instance configured to return a JSON object. For example, when using the [`OpenAIChatGenerator`](../generators/openaichatgenerator.mdx), you should pass `{\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}` in its `generation_kwargs`.\n\nIf you are not initializing the Evaluator with your own Chat Generator other than OpenAI, a valid OpenAI API key must be set as an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable. For details, see our [documentation page on secret management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\nTwo optional initialization parameters are:\n\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raise an exception on an unsuccessful API call.\n- `progress_bar`: Whether to show a progress bar during the evaluation.\n\n`ContextRelevanceEvaluator` has an optional `examples` parameter that can be used to pass few-shot examples conforming to the expected input and output format of `ContextRelevanceEvaluator`. These examples are included in the prompt that is sent to the LLM. Examples, therefore, increase the number of tokens of the prompt and make each request more costly. Adding examples is helpful if you want to improve the quality of the evaluation at the cost of more tokens.\n\nEach example must be a dictionary with keys `inputs` and `outputs`.\n`inputs` must be a dictionary with keys `questions` and `contexts`.\n`outputs` must be a dictionary with `statements` and `statement_scores`.\nHere is the expected format:\n\n```python\n[\n {\n \"inputs\": {\n \"questions\": \"What is the capital of Italy?\",\n \"contexts\": [\"Rome is the capital of Italy.\"],\n },\n \"outputs\": {\n \"statements\": [\n \"Rome is the capital of Italy.\",\n \"Rome has more than 4 million inhabitants.\",\n ],\n \"statement_scores\": [1, 0],\n },\n },\n]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where we use a `ContextRelevanceEvaluator` component to evaluate a response generated based on a provided question and context. The `ContextRelevanceEvaluator` returns a score of 1.0 because it detects one statement in the context, which is relevant to the question.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import ContextRelevanceEvaluator\n\nquestions = [\"Who created the Python language?\"]\ncontexts = [\n [\n \"Python, created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, is a high-level general-purpose programming language.

Running a pipeline instead of the individual components simplifies calculating more than one metric.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import (\n ContextRelevanceEvaluator,\n FaithfulnessEvaluator,\n)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\ncontext_relevance_evaluator = ContextRelevanceEvaluator()\nfaithfulness_evaluator = FaithfulnessEvaluator()\npipeline.add_component(\"context_relevance_evaluator\", context_relevance_evaluator)\npipeline.add_component(\"faithfulness_evaluator\", faithfulness_evaluator)\n\nquestions = [\"Who created the Python language?\"]\ncontexts = [\n [\n \"Python, created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, is a high-level general-purpose programming language.

\n\nDeepEval is an evaluation framework that provides a number of LLM-based evaluation metrics. You can use the `DeepEvalEvaluator` component to evaluate a Haystack pipeline, such as a retrieval-augmented generated pipeline, against one of the metrics provided by DeepEval.\n\n## Supported Metrics\n\nDeepEval supports a number of metrics, which we expose through the [DeepEval metric enumeration.](/reference/integrations-deepeval#deepevalmetric) [`DeepEvalEvaluator`](/reference/integrations-deepeval#deepevalevaluator) in Haystack supports the metrics listed below with the expected `metric_params` while initializing the Evaluator. Many metrics use OpenAI models and require you to set an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`. For a complete guide on these metrics, visit the [DeepEval documentation](https://docs.confident-ai.com/docs/getting-started).\n\n

\n\n## Parameters Overview\n\nTo initialize a `DeepEvalEvaluator`, you need to provide the following parameters :\n\n- `metric`: A `DeepEvalMetric`.\n- `metric_params`: Optionally, if the metric calls for any additional parameters, you should provide them here.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo use the `DeepEvalEvaluator`, you first need to install the integration:\n\n```bash\npip install deepeval-haystack\n```\n\nTo use the `DeepEvalEvaluator` you need to follow these steps:\n\n1. Initialize the `DeepEvalEvaluator` while providing the correct `metric_params` for the metric you are using.\n2. Run the `DeepEvalEvaluator` on its own or in a pipeline by providing the expected input for the metric you are using.\n\n### Examples\n\n**Evaluate Faithfulness**\n\nTo create a faithfulness evaluation pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.evaluators.deepeval import (\n DeepEvalEvaluator,\n DeepEvalMetric,\n)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\nevaluator = DeepEvalEvaluator(\n metric=DeepEvalMetric.FAITHFULNESS,\n metric_params={\"model\": \"gpt-4\"},\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"evaluator\", evaluator)\n```\n\nTo run the evaluation pipeline, you should have the _expected inputs_ for the metric ready at hand. This metric expects a list of `questions` and `contexts`. These should come from the results of the pipeline you want to evaluate.\n\n```python\nresults = pipeline.run(\n {\n \"evaluator\": {\n \"questions\": [\n \"When was the Rhodes Statue built?\",\n \"Where is the Pyramid of Giza?\",\n ],\n \"contexts\": [[\"Context for question 1\"], [\"Context for question 2\"]],\n \"responses\": [\"Response for question 1\", \"response for question 2\"],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [RAG Pipeline Evaluation Using DeepEval](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/rag_eval_deep_eval)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/evaluators/documentmapevaluator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"DocumentMAPEvaluator\"\nid: documentmapevaluator\nslug: \"/documentmapevaluator\"\ndescription: \"The `DocumentMAPEvaluator` evaluates documents retrieved by Haystack pipelines using ground truth labels.

\n\n## Overview\n\nYou can use the `DocumentMAPEvaluator` component to evaluate documents retrieved by a Haystack pipeline, such as a RAG pipeline, against ground truth labels.

A higher NDCG is better and indicates that relevant documents appear at an earlier position in the list of retrieved documents.\n\nIf the ground truth documents have scores, a higher NDCG indicates that documents with a higher score appear at an earlier position in the list of retrieved documents. If the ground truth documents have no scores, binary relevance is assumed, meaning that all ground truth documents are equally relevant, and the order in which they are in the list of retrieved documents does not matter for the NDCG.\n\nNo parameters are required to initialize a `DocumentNDCGEvaluator`.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where we use the `DocumentNDCGEvaluator` to evaluate documents retrieved for a query.

\n\n## Overview\n\nYou can use the `DocumentRecallEvaluator` component to evaluate documents retrieved by a Haystack pipeline, such as a RAG Pipeline, against ground truth labels.\n\nWhen initializing a `DocumentRecallEvaluator`, you can set the `mode` parameter to\n`RecallMode.SINGLE_HIT` or `RecallMode.MULTI_HIT`. By default, `RecallMode.SINGLE_HIT` is used.\n\n`RecallMode.SINGLE_HIT` means that _any_ of the ground truth documents need to be retrieved to count as a correct retrieval with a recall score of 1. A single retrieved document can achieve the full score.\n\n`RecallMode.MULTI_HIT` means that _all_ of the ground truth documents need to be retrieved to count as a correct retrieval with a recall score of 1. The number of retrieved documents must be at least the number of ground truth documents to achieve the full score.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where we use a `DocumentRecallEvaluator` component to evaluate documents retrieved for two queries. For the first query, there is one ground truth document and one retrieved document.

\n\nYou can use the `FaithfulnessEvaluator` component to evaluate documents retrieved by a Haystack pipeline, such as a RAG pipeline, without ground truth labels. The component splits the generated answer into statements and checks each of them against the provided contexts with an LLM. A higher faithfulness score is better, and it indicates that a larger number of statements in the generated answers can be inferred from the contexts. The faithfulness score can be used to better understand how often and when the Generator in a RAG pipeline hallucinates.\n\n### Parameters\n\nThe default model for this Evaluator is `gpt-4o-mini`. You can override the model using the `chat_generator` parameter during initialization. This needs to be a Chat Generator instance configured to return a JSON object. For example, when using the [`OpenAIChatGenerator`](../generators/openaichatgenerator.mdx), you should pass `{\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}` in its `generation_kwargs`.\n\nIf you are not initializing the Evaluator with your own Chat Generator other than OpenAI, a valid OpenAI API key must be set as an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable. For details, see our [documentation page on secret management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\nTwo other optional initialization parameters are:\n\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raise an exception on an unsuccessful API call.\n- `progress_bar`: Whether to show a progress bar during the evaluation.\n\n`FaithfulnessEvaluator` has an optional `examples` parameter that can be used to pass few-shot examples conforming to the expected input and output format of `FaithfulnessEvaluator`. These examples are included in the prompt that is sent to the LLM. Examples, therefore, increase the number of tokens of the prompt and make each request more costly. Adding examples is helpful if you want to improve the quality of the evaluation at the cost of more tokens.\n\nEach example must be a dictionary with keys `inputs` and `outputs`.\n`inputs` must be a dictionary with keys `questions`, `contexts`, and `predicted_answers`.\n`outputs` must be a dictionary with `statements` and `statement_scores`.\nHere is the expected format:\n\n```python\n[\n {\n \"inputs\": {\n \"questions\": \"What is the capital of Italy?\",\n \"contexts\": [\"Rome is the capital of Italy.\"],\n \"predicted_answers\": \"Rome is the capital of Italy with more than 4 million inhabitants.\",\n },\n \"outputs\": {\n \"statements\": [\n \"Rome is the capital of Italy.\",\n \"Rome has more than 4 million inhabitants.\",\n ],\n \"statement_scores\": [1, 0],\n },\n },\n]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example of using a `FaithfulnessEvaluator` component to evaluate a predicted answer generated based on a provided question and context.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `LLMEvaluator` component can evaluate answers, documents, or any other outputs of a Haystack pipeline based on a user-defined aspect. The component combines the instructions, examples, and expected output names into one prompt. It is meant for calculating user-defined model-based evaluation metrics. If you are looking for pre-defined model-based evaluators that work out of the box, have a look at Haystack’s [`FaithfulnessEvaluator`](faithfulnessevaluator.mdx) and [`ContextRelevanceEvaluator`](contextrelevanceevaluator.mdx) components instead.\n\n### Parameters\n\nThe default model for this Evaluator is `gpt-4o-mini`. You can override the model using the `chat_generator` parameter during initialization. This needs to be a Chat Generator instance configured to return a JSON object. For example, when using the [`OpenAIChatGenerator`](../generators/openaichatgenerator.mdx), you should pass `{\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}` in its `generation_kwargs`.\n\nIf you are not initializing the Evaluator with your own Chat Generator other than OpenAI, a valid OpenAI API key must be set as an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable. For details, see our [documentation page on secret management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\n`LLMEvaluator` requires six parameters for initialization:\n\n- `instructions`: The prompt instructions to use for evaluation, such as a question about the inputs that the LLM can answer with _yes,_ _no_, or a score.\n- `inputs`: The inputs that the `LLMEvaluator` expects and that it evaluates. The inputs determine the incoming connections of the component. Each input is a tuple of an input name and input type. Input types must be lists. An example could be `[(\"responses\", List[str])]`.\n- `outputs`: Output names of the evaluation results corresponding to keys in the output dictionary. An example could be a `[\"score\"]`.\n- `examples`: Use this parameter to pass few-shot examples conforming to the expected input and output format. These examples are included in the prompt that is sent to the LLM. Examples increase the number of tokens of the prompt and make each request more costly. Adding more than one or two examples can be helpful if you want to improve the quality of the evaluation at the cost of more tokens.\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True (default), raise an exception on an unsuccessful API call.\n- `progress_bar`: Whether to show a progress bar during the evaluation.

The aspect we evaluate is whether the response is problematic for children as defined in the instructions. The `LLMEvaluator` returns one binary score per input response with the result that both responses are not problematic.\n\n```python\nfrom typing import List\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import LLMEvaluator\n\nllm_evaluator = LLMEvaluator(\n instructions=\"Is this answer problematic for children?\",\n inputs=[(\"responses\", List[str])],\n outputs=[\"score\"],\n examples=[\n {\n \"inputs\": {\"responses\": \"Damn, this is straight outta hell!!!\"},\n \"outputs\": {\"score\": 1},\n },\n {\n \"inputs\": {\"responses\": \"Football is the most popular sport.\"},\n \"outputs\": {\"score\": 0},\n },\n ],\n)\nresponses = [\n \"Football is the most popular sport with around 4 billion followers worldwide\",\n \"Python language was created by Guido van Rossum.\",\n]\nresults = llm_evaluator.run(responses=responses)\nprint(results)\n## {'results': [{'score': 0}, {'score': 0}]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example where we use an `LLMEvaluator` in a pipeline to evaluate a response.\n\n```python\nfrom typing import List\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import LLMEvaluator\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\nllm_evaluator = LLMEvaluator(\n instructions=\"Is this answer problematic for children?\",\n inputs=[(\"responses\", List[str])],\n outputs=[\"score\"],\n examples=[\n {\n \"inputs\": {\"responses\": \"Damn, this is straight outta hell!!!\"},\n \"outputs\": {\"score\": 1},\n },\n {\n \"inputs\": {\"responses\": \"Football is the most popular sport.\"},\n \"outputs\": {\"score\": 0},\n },\n ],\n)\n\npipeline.add_component(\"llm_evaluator\", llm_evaluator)\n\nresponses = [\n \"Football is the most popular sport with around 4 billion followers worldwide\",\n \"Python language was created by Guido van Rossum.\",\n]\n\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm_evaluator\": {\"responses\": responses}})\n\nfor evaluator in result:\n print(result[evaluator][\"results\"])\n## [{'score': 0}, {'score': 0}]\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/evaluators/ragasevaluator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"RagasEvaluator\"\nid: ragasevaluator\nslug: \"/ragasevaluator\"\ndescription: \"This component evaluates Haystack pipelines using LLM-based metrics.

\n\nRagas is an evaluation framework that provides a number of LLM-based evaluation metrics. You can use the `RagasEvaluator` component to evaluate a Haystack pipeline, such as a retrieval-augmented generative pipeline, against one of the metrics provided by Ragas.\n\n## Supported Metrics\n\nRagas supports a number of metrics, which we expose through the Ragas metric enumeration. Below is the list of metrics supported by the `RagasEvaluator` in Haystack with the expected `metric_params` while initializing the evaluator. Many metrics use OpenAI models and require an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY` to be set. For a complete guide on these metrics, visit the [Ragas documentation](https://docs.ragas.io/).\n\n

\n\n## Parameters Overview\n\nTo initialize a `RagasEvaluator`, you need to provide the following parameters :\n\n- `metric`: A `RagasMetric`.\n- `metric_params`: Optionally, if the metric calls for any additional parameters, you should provide them here.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo use the `RagasEvaluator`, you first need to install the integration:\n\n```bash\npip install ragas-haystack\n```\n\nTo use the `RagasEvaluator` you need to follow these steps:\n\n1. Initialize the `RagasEvaluator` while providing the correct `metric_params` for the metric you are using.\n2. Run the `RagasEvaluator`, either on its own or in a pipeline, by providing the expected input for the metric you are using.\n\n### Examples\n\n#### Evaluate Context Relevance\n\nTo create a context-relevance evaluation pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.evaluators.ragas import (\n RagasEvaluator,\n RagasMetric,\n)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\nevaluator = RagasEvaluator(\n metric=RagasMetric.ANSWER_RELEVANCY,\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"evaluator\", evaluator)\n```\n\nTo run the evaluation pipeline, you should have the _expected inputs_ for the metric ready at hand. This metric expects a list of `questions` and `contexts`, which should come from the results of the pipeline you want to evaluate.\n\n```python\nresults = pipeline.run(\n {\n \"evaluator\": {\n \"questions\": [\n \"When was the Rhodes Statue built?\",\n \"Where is the Pyramid of Giza?\",\n ],\n \"contexts\": [[\"Context for question 1\"], [\"Context for question 2\"]],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n\n#### Evaluate Context Relevance and Aspect Critique\n\nTo create a pipeline that evaluates context relevance and aspect critique:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.evaluators.ragas import (\n RagasEvaluator,\n RagasMetric,\n)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\nevaluator_context = RagasEvaluator(\n metric=RagasMetric.CONTEXT_PRECISION,\n)\nevaluator_aspect = RagasEvaluator(\n metric=RagasMetric.ASPECT_CRITIQUE,\n metric_params={\n \"name\": \"custom\",\n \"definition\": \"Is this answer problematic for children?\",\n \"strictness\": 3,\n },\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"evaluator_context\", evaluator_context)\npipeline.add_component(\"evaluator_aspect\", evaluator_aspect)\n```\n\nTo run the evaluation pipeline, you should have the _expected inputs_ for the metrics ready at hand. These metrics expect a list of `questions`, `contexts`, `responses`, and `ground_truths`. These should come from the results of the pipeline you want to evaluate.\n\n```python\nQUESTIONS = [\n \"Which is the most popular global sport?\",\n \"Who created the Python language?\",\n]\nCONTEXTS = [\n [\n \"The popularity of sports can be measured in various ways, including TV viewership, social media presence, number of participants, and economic impact.

\n\n## Overview\n\nYou can use the `SASEvaluator` component to evaluate answers predicted by a Haystack pipeline, such as a RAG pipeline, against ground truth labels.\n\nYou can provide a bi-encoder or cross-encoder model to initialize a `SASEvaluator`. By default, `sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2` model is used.\n\nNote that only _one_ predicted answer is compared to _one_ ground truth answer at a time. The component does not support multiple ground truth answers for the same question or multiple answers predicted for the same question.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example of using a `SASEvaluator` component to evaluate two answers and compare them to ground truth answers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators import SASEvaluator\n\nsas_evaluator = SASEvaluator()\nresult = sas_evaluator.run(\n ground_truth_answers=[\"Berlin\", \"Paris\"],\n predicted_answers=[\"Berlin\", \"Lyon\"],\n)\nprint(result[\"individual_scores\"])\n## [[array([[0.99999994]], dtype=float32), array([[0.51747656]], dtype=float32)]\nprint(result[\"score\"])\n## 0.7587383\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example where we use an `AnswerExactMatchEvaluator` and a `SASEvaluator` in a pipeline to evaluate two answers and compare them to ground truth answers.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`LLMDocumentContentExtractor` extracts textual content from image-based documents using a vision-enabled Large Language Model (LLM). This component is particularly useful for processing scanned documents, images containing text, or PDF pages that need to be converted to searchable text.\n\nThe component works by:\n\n1. Converting each input document into an image using the `DocumentToImageContent` component,\n2. Using a predefined prompt to instruct the LLM on how to extract content,\n3. Processing the image through a vision-capable ChatGenerator to extract structured textual content.\n\nThe prompt must not contain Jinja variables; it should only include instructions for the LLM. Image data and the prompt are passed together to the LLM as a Chat Message.\n\nDocuments for which the LLM fails to extract content are returned in a separate `failed_documents` list with a `content_extraction_error` entry in their metadata for debugging or reprocessing.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example that uses the `LLMDocumentContentExtractor` to extract text from image-based documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\n\n## Initialize the chat generator with vision capabilities\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4o-mini\",\n generation_kwargs={\"temperature\": 0.0},\n)\n\n## Create the extractor\nextractor = LLMDocumentContentExtractor(\n chat_generator=chat_generator,\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n raise_on_failure=False,\n)\n\n## Create documents with image file paths\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"image.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"document.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1}),\n]\n\n## Run the extractor\nresult = extractor.run(documents=documents)\n\n## Check results\nprint(f\"Successfully processed: {len(result['documents'])}\")\nprint(f\"Failed documents: {len(result['failed_documents'])}\")\n\n## Access extracted content\nfor doc in result[\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"File: {doc.meta['file_path']}\")\n print(f\"Extracted content: {doc.content[:100]}...\")\n```\n\n### Using custom prompts\n\nYou can provide a custom prompt to instruct the LLM on how to extract content:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\ncustom_prompt = \"\"\"\nExtract all text content from this image-based document.\n\nInstructions:\n- Extract text exactly as it appears\n- Preserve the reading order\n- Format tables as markdown\n- Describe any images or diagrams briefly\n- Maintain document structure\n\nDocument:\"\"\"\n\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\nextractor = LLMDocumentContentExtractor(\n chat_generator=chat_generator,\n prompt=custom_prompt,\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n)\n\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"scanned_document.pdf\"})]\nresult = extractor.run(documents=documents)\n```\n\n### Handling failed documents\n\nThe component provides detailed error information for failed documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\nextractor = LLMDocumentContentExtractor(\n chat_generator=chat_generator,\n raise_on_failure=False, # Don't raise exceptions, return failed documents\n)\n\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"problematic_image.jpg\"})]\nresult = extractor.run(documents=documents)\n\n## Check for failed documents\nfor failed_doc in result[\"failed_documents\"]:\n print(f\"Failed to process: {failed_doc.meta['file_path']}\")\n print(f\"Error: {failed_doc.meta['content_extraction_error']}\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that uses `LLMDocumentContentExtractor` to process image-based documents and store the extracted text:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\n## Create document store\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\n## Create pipeline\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(\n instance=LLMDocumentContentExtractor(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"),\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n ),\n name=\"content_extractor\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentSplitter(), name=\"splitter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\n\n## Connect components\np.connect(\"content_extractor.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\n## Create test documents\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"scanned_document.pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"image_with_text.jpg\"}),\n]\n\n## Run pipeline\nresult = p.run({\"content_extractor\": {\"documents\": docs}})\n\n## Check results\nprint(f\"Successfully processed: {len(result['content_extractor']['documents'])}\")\nprint(f\"Failed documents: {len(result['content_extractor']['failed_documents'])}\")\n\n## Access documents in the store\nstored_docs = document_store.filter_documents()\nprint(f\"Documents in store: {len(stored_docs)}\")\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/extractors/llmmetadataextractor.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"LLMMetadataExtractor\"\nid: llmmetadataextractor\nslug: \"/llmmetadataextractor\"\ndescription: \"Extracts metadata from documents using a Large Language Model.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `LLMMetadataExtractor` extraction relies on an LLM and a prompt to perform the metadata extraction. At initialization time, it expects an LLM, a Haystack Generator, and a prompt describing the metadata extraction process.\n\nThe prompt should have a variable called `document` that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So, to access the content of the document, you can use `{{ document.content }}` in the prompt.\n\nAt runtime, it expects a list of documents and will run the LLM on each document in the list, extracting metadata from the document. The metadata will be added to the document's metadata field.\n\nIf the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, it will be added to the `failed_documents` list. The failed documents' metadata will contain the keys `metadata_extraction_error` and `metadata_extraction_response`.\n\nThese documents can be re-run with another extractor to extract metadata using the `metadata_extraction_response` and `metadata_extraction_error` in the prompt.\n\nThe current implementation supports the following Haystack Generators:\n\n- [OpenAIChatGenerator](../generators/openaichatgenerator.mdx)\n- [AzureOpenAIChatGenerator](../generators/azureopenaichatgenerator.mdx)\n- [AmazonBedrockChatGenerator](../generators/amazonbedrockchatgenerator.mdx)\n- [VertexAIGeminiChatGenerator](../generators/vertexaigeminichatgenerator.mdx)\n\n## Usage\n\nHere's an example of using the `LLMMetadataExtractor` to extract named entities and add them to the document's metadata.\n\nFirst, the mandatory imports:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.llm_metadata_extractor import LLMMetadataExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n```\n\nThen, define some documents:\n\n```python\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"deepset was founded in 2018 in Berlin, and is known for its Haystack framework\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Hugging Face is a company founded in New York, USA and is known for its Transformers library\",\n ),\n]\n```\n\nAnd now, a prompt that extracts named entities from the documents:\n\n```python\nNER_PROMPT = \"\"\"\n -Goal-\n Given text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.\n\n -Steps-\n 1. Identify all entities. For each identified entity, extract the following information:\n - entity_name: Name of the entity, capitalized\n - entity_type: One of the following types: [organization, product, service, industry]\n Format each entity as a JSON like: {\"entity\": , \"entity_type\": }\n\n 2. Return output in a single list with all the entities identified in steps 1.\n\n -Examples-\n ######################\n Example 1:\n entity_types: [organization, person, partnership, financial metric, product, service, industry, investment strategy, market trend]\n text: Another area of strength is our co-brand issuance.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`NamedEntityExtractor` looks for entities, which are spans in the text. The extractor automatically recognizes and groups them depending on their class, such as people's names, organizations, locations, and other types. The exact classes are determined by the model that you initialize the component with.\n\n`NamedEntityExtractor` takes a list of documents as input and returns a list of the same documents with their `meta` data enriched with `NamedEntityAnnotations`. A `NamedEntityAnnotation` consists of the type of the entity, the start and end of the span, and a score calculated by the model, for example: `NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='PER', start=11, end=16, score=0.9)`.\n\nWhen the `NamedEntityExtractor` is initialized, you need to set a `model` and a `backend`. The latter can be either `\"hugging_face\"` or `\"spacy\"`. Optionally, you can set `pipeline_kwargs`, which are then passed on to the Hugging Face pipeline or the spaCy pipeline. You can additionally set the `device` that is used to run the component.\n\n## Usage\n\nThe current implementation supports two NER backends: Hugging Face and spaCy. These two backends work with any HF or spaCy model that supports token classification or NER.\n\nHere’s an example of how you could initialize different backends:\n\n```python\n## Initialize with HF backend\nextractor = NamedEntityExtractor(backend=\"hugging_face\", model=\"dslim/bert-base-NER\")\n\n## Initialize with spaCy backend\nextractor = NamedEntityExtractor(backend=\"spacy\", model=\"en_core_web_sm\")\n```\n\n`NamedEntityExtractor` accepts a list of `Documents` as its input. The extractor annotates the raw text in the documents and stores the annotations in the document's `meta` dictionary under the `named_entities` key.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors import NamedEntityExtractor\n\nextractor = NamedEntityExtractor(backend=\"hugging_face\", model=\"dslim/bert-base-NER\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley, California.\"),\n Document(content=\"I'm Merlin, the happy pig!\"),\n Document(content=\"New York State is home to the Empire State Building.\"),\n]\n\nextractor.run(documents)\nprint(documents)\n```\n\nHere is the example result:\n\n```python\n[Document(id=aec840d1b6c85609f4f16c3e222a5a25fd8c4c53bd981a40c1268ab9c72cee10, content: 'My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley, California.', meta: {'named_entities': [NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='PER', start=11, end=16, score=0.99641764), NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='LOC', start=31, end=39, score=0.996198), NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='LOC', start=41, end=51, score=0.9990196)]}),\nDocument(id=98f1dc5d0ccd9d9950cd191d1076db0f7af40c401dd7608f11c90cb3fc38c0c2, content: 'I'm Merlin, the happy pig!', meta: {'named_entities': [NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='PER', start=4, end=10, score=0.99054915)]}),\nDocument(id=44948ea0eec018b33aceaaedde4616eb9e93ce075e0090ec1613fc145f84b4a9, content: 'New York State is home to the Empire State Building.', meta: {'named_entities': [NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='LOC', start=0, end=14, score=0.9989541), NamedEntityAnnotation(entity='LOC', start=30, end=51, score=0.95746297)]})]\n```\n\n### Get stored annotations\n\nThis component includes the `get_stored_annotations` helper class method that allows you to retrieve the annotations stored in a `Document` transparently:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors import NamedEntityExtractor\n\nextractor = NamedEntityExtractor(backend=\"hugging_face\", model=\"dslim/bert-base-NER\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley, California.\"),\n Document(content=\"I'm Merlin, the happy pig!\"),\n Document(content=\"New York State is home to the Empire State Building.\"),\n]\n\nextractor.run(documents)\n\nannotations = [NamedEntityExtractor.get_stored_annotations(doc) for doc in documents]\nprint(annotations)\n\n## If a Document doesn't contain any annotations, this returns None.\nnew_doc = Document(content=\"In one of many possible worlds...\")\nassert NamedEntityExtractor.get_stored_annotations(new_doc) is None\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/extractors/regextextextractor.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"RegexTextExtractor\"\nid: regextextextractor\nslug: \"/regextextextractor\"\ndescription: \"Extracts text from chat messages or strings using a regular expression pattern.\"\n---\n\n# RegexTextExtractor\n\nExtracts text from chat messages or strings using a regular expression pattern.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`RegexTextExtractor` parses text input or `ChatMessage` objects using a regular expression pattern and extracts text captured by capture groups. This is useful for extracting structured information from LLM outputs that follow specific formats, such as XML-like tags or other patterns.\n\nThe component works with both plain strings and lists of `ChatMessage` objects. When given a list of messages, it processes only the last message.\n\nThe regex pattern should include at least one capture group (text within parentheses) to specify what text to extract. If no capture group is provided, the entire match is returned instead.\n\n### Handling no matches\n\nBy default, when the pattern doesn't match, the component returns an empty dictionary `{}`. You can change this behavior with the `return_empty_on_no_match` parameter:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.extractors import RegexTextExtractor\n\n# Default behavior - returns empty dict when no match\nextractor_default = RegexTextExtractor(regex_pattern=r\"(.*?)\")\nresult = extractor_default.run(text_or_messages=\"No answer tags here\")\nprint(result) # Output: {}\n\n# Alternative behavior - returns empty string when no match\nextractor_explicit = RegexTextExtractor(\n regex_pattern=r\"(.*?)\",\n return_empty_on_no_match=False,\n)\nresult = extractor_explicit.run(text_or_messages=\"No answer tags here\")\nprint(result) # Output: {'captured_text': ''}\n```\n\n:::note\nThe default behavior of returning `{}` when no match is found is deprecated and will change in a future release to return `{'captured_text': ''}` instead. Set `return_empty_on_no_match=False` explicitly if you want the new behavior now.\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example extracts a URL from an XML-like tag structure:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.extractors import RegexTextExtractor\n\n# Create extractor with a pattern that captures the URL value\nextractor = RegexTextExtractor(regex_pattern='')\n\n# Extract from a string\nresult = extractor.run(\n text_or_messages='Issue description',\n)\nprint(result)\n# Output: {'captured_text': 'github.com/example/issue/123'}\n```\n\n### With ChatMessages\n\nWhen working with LLM outputs in chat pipelines, you can extract structured data from `ChatMessage` objects:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.extractors import RegexTextExtractor\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nextractor = RegexTextExtractor(\n regex_pattern=r\"```json\\s*(.*?)\\s*```\",\n return_empty_on_no_match=False,\n)\n\n# Simulating an LLM response with JSON in a code block\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Extract the data\"),\n ChatMessage.from_assistant(\n 'Here is the data:\\n```json\\n{\"name\": \"Alice\", \"age\": 30}\\n```',\n ),\n]\n\nresult = extractor.run(text_or_messages=messages)\nprint(result)\n# Output: {'captured_text': '{\"name\": \"Alice\", \"age\": 30}'}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThis example demonstrates extracting a specific section from a structured LLM response. The pipeline asks an LLM to analyze a topic and format its response with XML-like tags for different sections. The `RegexTextExtractor` then pulls out only the summary, discarding the rest of the response.\n\nThe LLM generates a full response with both `` and `` sections, but only the content inside `` tags is extracted and returned.\n\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.extractors import RegexTextExtractor\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator())\npipe.add_component(\n \"extractor\",\n RegexTextExtractor(\n regex_pattern=r\"(.*?)\",\n return_empty_on_no_match=False,\n ),\n)\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"extractor.text_or_messages\")\n\n# Instruct the LLM to use a specific structured format\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Respond using this exact format:\\n\"\n \"Your detailed analysis here\\n\"\n \"A one-sentence summary\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are the main benefits and drawbacks of remote work?\"),\n]\n\n# Run the pipeline (requires OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable)\nresult = pipe.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"template\": messages}})\nprint(result[\"extractor\"][\"captured_text\"])\n# Output: 'Remote work offers flexibility and eliminates commuting but can lead to isolation and blurred work-life boundaries.'\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/extractors.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Extractors\"\nid: extractors\nslug: \"/extractors\"\n---\n\n# Extractors\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [LLMDocumentContentExtractor](extractors/llmdocumentcontentextractor.mdx) | Extracts textual content from image-based documents using a vision-enabled Large Language Model (LLM). |\n| [LLMMetadataExtractor](extractors/llmmetadataextractor.mdx) | Extracts metadata from documents using a Large Language Model.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`FirecrawlCrawler` uses [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev) to crawl one or more URLs and return the extracted content as Haystack `Document` objects. Starting from each given URL, it follows links to discover subpages up to a configurable limit. This makes it well-suited for ingesting entire websites or documentation sites, not just single pages.\n\nFirecrawl returns content in a structured format that works well as input for LLMs. Each crawled page becomes a separate `Document` with the page content in the `content` field and metadata, such as title, URL, and description, in the `meta` field.\n\n### Crawl parameters\n\nYou can control the crawl behavior through the `params` argument. Some commonly used parameters:\n\n- `limit`: Maximum number of pages to crawl per URL. Defaults to `1`. Without a limit, Firecrawl may crawl all subpages and consume credits quickly.\n- `scrape_options`: Controls the output format. Defaults to `{\"formats\": [\"markdown\"]}`.\n\nSee the [Firecrawl API reference](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/api-reference/endpoint/crawl-post) for the full list of available parameters.\n\n### Authorization\n\n`FirecrawlCrawler` uses the `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` environment variable by default. You can also pass the key explicitly at initialization:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.fetchers.firecrawl import FirecrawlCrawler\n\ncrawler = FirecrawlCrawler(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nTo get an API key, sign up at [firecrawl.dev](https://firecrawl.dev).\n\n### Installation\n\nInstall the Firecrawl integration with:\n\n```shell\npip install firecrawl-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.fetchers.firecrawl import FirecrawlCrawler\n\ncrawler = FirecrawlCrawler(params={\"limit\": 3})\n\nresult = crawler.run(urls=[\"https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/intro\"])\ndocuments = result[\"documents\"]\n\nfor doc in documents:\n print(f\"{doc.meta.get('title')} - {doc.meta.get('url')}\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of an indexing pipeline that uses `FirecrawlCrawler` to crawl a documentation site and store the results in an `InMemoryDocumentStore`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.fetchers.firecrawl import FirecrawlCrawler\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\ncrawler = FirecrawlCrawler(params={\"limit\": 10})\nsplitter = DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=5)\nwriter = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store)\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"crawler\", crawler)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"splitter\", splitter)\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\"writer\", writer)\n\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"crawler.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"crawler\": {\n \"urls\": [\"https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/intro\"],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/fetchers/linkcontentfetcher.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"LinkContentFetcher\"\nid: linkcontentfetcher\nslug: \"/linkcontentfetcher\"\ndescription: \"With LinkContentFetcher, you can use the contents of several URLs as the data for your pipeline.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`LinkContentFetcher` fetches the contents of the `urls` you give it and returns a list of content streams. Each item in this list is the content of one link it successfully fetched in the form of a `ByteStream` object. Each of these objects in the returned list has metadata that contains its content type (in the `content_type` key) and its URL (in the `url` key).\n\nFor example, if you pass ten URLs to `LinkContentFetcher` and it manages to fetch six of them, then the output will be a list of six `ByteStream` objects, each containing information about its content type and URL.\n\nIt may happen that some sites block `LinkContentFetcher` from getting their content. In that case, it logs the error and returns the `ByteStream` objects that it successfully fetched.\n\nOften, to use this component in a pipeline, you must convert the returned list of `ByteStream` objects into a list of `Document` objects. To do so, you can use the `HTMLToDocument` component.\n\nYou can use `LinkContentFetcher` at the beginning of an indexing pipeline to index the contents of URLs into a Document Store. You can also use it directly in a query pipeline, such as a retrieval-augmented generative (RAG) pipeline, to use the contents of a URL as the data source.\n\n## Security considerations\n\n`LinkContentFetcher` requests the URLs passed to it. If those URLs come directly from end users, this can expose your environment to server-side request forgery (SSRF) risks.\n\nBefore calling `LinkContentFetcher`, an application should therefore validate and sanitize user-provided URLs. For example:\n\n- Allow only expected schemes, for example `https`\n- Use an allowlist of trusted domains when possible\n- Block localhost, link-local, and private-network destinations\n- Consider using an outbound proxy or network-level egress restrictions in production\n\nFor example, an application could block private, loopback, link-local, reserved IPs, and custom IP ranges using the standard library's `ipaddress` module:\n\n```python\nimport ipaddress\nfrom urllib.parse import urlparse\n\n\nPRIVATE_RANGES = (\n ipaddress.ip_network(\"127.0.0.0/8\"),\n ipaddress.ip_network(\"10.0.0.0/8\"),\n ipaddress.ip_network(\"172.16.0.0/12\"),\n ipaddress.ip_network(\"192.168.0.0/16\"),\n ipaddress.ip_network(\"169.254.0.0/16\"),\n)\n\n\ndef is_unsafe_url(url: str) -> bool:\n parsed = urlparse(url)\n if parsed.scheme != \"https\" or not parsed.hostname:\n return True\n try:\n ip = ipaddress.ip_address(parsed.hostname)\n except ValueError:\n # Hostname (not a raw IP). Apply your own domain allowlist policy here. Filter out \"LOCALHOST\" etc.\n return False\n return ip.is_private or ip.is_loopback or ip.is_link_local or ip.is_reserved or any(ip in net for net in PRIVATE_RANGES)\n```\n\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where `LinkContentFetcher` fetches the contents of a URL. It initializes the component using the default settings. To change the default component settings, such as `retry_attempts`, check out the API reference [docs](/reference/fetchers-api).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\n\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\n\nfetcher.run(urls=[\"https://haystack.deepset.ai\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of an indexing pipeline that uses the `LinkContentFetcher` to index the contents of the specified URLs into an `InMemoryDocumentStore`. Notice how it uses the `HTMLToDocument` component to convert the list of `ByteStream` objects to `Document` objects.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\nconverter = HTMLToDocument()\nwriter = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store)\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(instance=fetcher, name=\"fetcher\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(instance=converter, name=\"converter\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(instance=writer, name=\"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"fetcher.streams\", \"converter.sources\")\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"converter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"fetcher\": {\n \"urls\": [\n \"https://haystack.deepset.ai/blog/guide-to-using-zephyr-with-haystack2\",\n ],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/fetchers.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Fetchers\"\nid: fetchers\nslug: \"/fetchers\"\ndescription: \"Currently, there's one Fetcher in Haystack: LinkContentFetcher.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AIMLAPIChatGenerator` provides access to AI models through the AIMLAPI, a unified API gateway for models from various providers. You can use different models within a single pipeline with a consistent interface. The default model is `openai/gpt-5-chat-latest`.\n\nAIMLAPI uses a single API key for all providers, which allows you to switch between or combine different models without managing multiple credentials.\n\nFor a complete list of available models, check the [AIMLAPI documentation](https://docs.aimlapi.com/).\n\nThe component needs a list of [`ChatMessage`](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.\n\nYou can pass any chat completion parameters valid for the underlying model directly to `AIMLAPIChatGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to the `run()` method.\n\n### Authentication\n\n`AIMLAPIChatGenerator` needs an AIMLAPI API key to work. You can set this key in:\n\n- The `api_key` init parameter using [Secret API](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx)\n- The `AIMLAPI_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n\n### Structured Output\n\n`AIMLAPIChatGenerator` supports structured output generation for compatible models, allowing you to receive responses in a predictable format. You can use Pydantic models or JSON schemas to define the structure of the output through the `response_format` parameter in `generation_kwargs`.\n\nThis is useful when you need to extract structured data from text or generate responses that match a specific format.\n\n```python\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.aimlapi import AIMLAPIChatGenerator\n\nclass CityInfo(BaseModel):\n city_name: str\n country: str\n population: int\n famous_for: str\n\nclient = AIMLAPIChatGenerator(\n model=\"openai/gpt-4o-2024-08-06\",\n generation_kwargs={\"response_format\": CityInfo}\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany with a population of \"\n \"approximately 3.7 million. It's famous for its history, culture, and nightlife.\"\n )\n])\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n>> {\"city_name\":\"Berlin\",\"country\":\"Germany\",\"population\":3700000,\n>> \"famous_for\":\"history, culture, and nightlife\"}\n```\n\n:::info Model Compatibility\nStructured output support depends on the underlying model. OpenAI models starting from `gpt-4o-2024-08-06` support Pydantic models and JSON schemas. For details on which models support this feature, refer to the respective model provider's documentation.\n:::\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`AIMLAPIChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.aimlapi import AIMLAPIChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = AIMLAPIChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\n`AIMLAPIChatGenerator` supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\nYou can stream output as it's generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n# Configure the generator with a streaming callback\ncomponent = AIMLAPIChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n# Pass a list of messages\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ncomponent.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nWe recommend to give preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `aimlapi-haystack` package to use the `AIMLAPIChatGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install aimlapi-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.aimlapi import AIMLAPIChatGenerator\n\nclient = AIMLAPIChatGenerator(model=\"openai/gpt-5-chat-latest\", streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?

\n\n[Amazon Bedrock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/what-is-bedrock.html) is a fully managed service that makes high-performing foundation models from leading AI startups and Amazon available through a unified API. You can choose from various foundation models to find the one best suited for your use case.\n\n`AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` enables chat completion using chat models from Amazon, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral, and more with a single component.\n\n## Overview\n\nThis component uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM. For more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see the [official documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\n:::info Using AWS CLI\n\nConsider using AWS CLI as a more straightforward tool to manage your AWS services. With AWS CLI, you can quickly configure your [boto3 credentials](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html). This way, you won't need to provide detailed authentication parameters when initializing Amazon Bedrock Generator in Haystack.\n:::\n\nTo use this component for text generation, initialize an AmazonBedrockGenerator with the model name, the AWS credentials (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`) should be set as environment variables, be configured as described above or passed as [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) arguments. Note, make sure the region you set supports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n### Prompt Caching\n\n`AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` supports prompt caching, to reduce inference response latency and input token costs.\n\nPrompt caching on Bedrock is available for [selected models](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\nIt allows you to define cache points within a request, as long as the input meets a model-specific minimum token threshold.\n\nEach request can contain up to four cache points.\n\n#### Caching messages\n\nThis generator allows you to control cache points at the `ChatMessage` level via the `meta` field.\n\nFor example, to cache a long user message to be reused across multiple requests:\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockChatGenerator,\n)\n\nmsg = ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"long message...\",\n meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\", \"ttl\": \"5m\"}},\n)\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0\",\n)\n\nresult = generator.run(messages=[msg])\n```\n\nIf the cache point is successfully written, the number of cached input tokens is available at:\n```python\nresult[\"replies\"][0].meta[\"usage\"][\"cache_write_input_tokens\"]\n```\n\n#### Caching tools\n\nYou can also cache tool definitions using the `tools_cachepoint_config` initialization parameter.\nWhen provided, all tools sent to the model are cached, if they exceed the minimum token threshold and the selected\nmodel supports prompt caching.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockChatGenerator,\n)\n\n# define or load your tools\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0\",\n tools=my_tools,\n tools_cachepoint_config={\"type\": \"default\", \"ttl\": \"5m\"},\n)\n\n# send a request to the Language Model\n```\n\nFor more details on how prompt caching works in Amazon Bedrock, see the [official documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n## Usage\n\nTo start using Amazon Bedrock with Haystack, install the `amazon-bedrock-haystack` package:\n\n```shell\npip install amazon-bedrock-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockChatGenerator,\n)\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"meta.llama2-70b-chat-v1\")\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You are a helpful assistant that answers question in Spanish only\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing? Be brief.\"),\n]\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\nWith multimodal inputs:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import (\n AmazonBedrockChatGenerator,\n)\n\nllm = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\")\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\"What does the image show?

\n\n## Overview\n\nThis integration supports Anthropic `chat` models such as `claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620`,`claude-3-opus-20240229`, `claude-3-haiku-20240307`, and similar. Check out the most recent full list in [Anthropic documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models).\n\n### Parameters\n\n`AnthropicChatGenerator` needs an Anthropic API key to work. You can provide this key in:\n\n- The `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n- The `api_key` init parameter and Haystack [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) API: `Secret.from_token(\"your-api-key-here\")`\n\nSet your preferred Anthropic model with the `model` parameter when initializing the component.\n\n`AnthropicChatGenerator` requires a prompt to generate text, but you can pass any text generation parameters available in the Anthropic [Messaging API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages) method directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and when running the component. For more details on the parameters supported by the Anthropic API, see the [Anthropic documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com).\n\nFinally, the component needs a list of `ChatMessage` objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.\n\nOnly text input modality is supported at this time.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`AnthropicChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.anthropic import AnthropicChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = AnthropicChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it’s generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure any `Generator` or `ChatGenerator` with a streaming callback\ncomponent = SomeGeneratorOrChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n## If this is a `ChatGenerator`, pass a list of messages:\n## from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n## component.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n\n## If this is a (non-chat) `Generator`, pass a prompt:\n## component.run({\"prompt\": \"Your prompt here\"})\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nGive preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n### Prompt caching\n\nPrompt caching is a feature for Anthropic LLMs that stores large text inputs for reuse. It allows you to send a large text block once and then refer to it in later requests without resending the entire text.\nThis feature is particularly useful for coding assistants that need full codebase context and for processing large documents. It can help reduce costs and improve response times.\n\nHere's an example of an instance of `AnthropicChatGenerator` being initialized with prompt caching and tagging a message to be cached:\n\n```python python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.anthropic import AnthropicChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngeneration_kwargs = {\"extra_headers\": {\"anthropic-beta\": \"prompt-caching-2024-07-31\"}}\n\nclaude_llm = AnthropicChatGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY\"), generation_kwargs=generation_kwargs\n)\n\nsystem_message = ChatMessage.from_system(\"Replace with some long text documents, code or instructions\")\nsystem_message.meta[\"cache_control\"] = {\"type\": \"ephemeral\"}\n\nmessages = [system_message, ChatMessage.from_user(\"A query about the long text for example\")]\nresult = claude_llm.run(messages)\n\n## and now invoke again with\n\nmessages = [system_message, ChatMessage.from_user(\"Another query about the long text etc\")]\nresult = claude_llm.run(messages)\n\n## and so on, either invoking component directly or in the pipeline\n```\n\nFor more details, refer to Anthropic's [documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching) and integration [examples](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/anthropic/example).\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the`anthropic-haystack` package to use the `AnthropicChatGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install anthropic-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.anthropic import AnthropicChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = AnthropicChatGenerator()\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing? Be brief.\")\nprint(generator.run([message]))\n```\n\nWith multimodal inputs:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.anthropic import AnthropicChatGenerator\n\nllm = AnthropicChatGenerator()\n\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\")\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\"What does the image show? Max 5 words.\", image],\n)\n\nresponse = llm.run([user_message])[\"replies\"][0].text\nprint(response)\n\n# Red apple on straw.\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can also use `AnthropicChatGenerator`with the Anthropic chat models in your pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.anthropic import AnthropicChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n AnthropicChatGenerator(Secret.from_env_var(\"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY\")),\n)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\ncountry = \"Germany\"\nsystem_message = ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You are an assistant giving out valuable information to language learners.\",\n)\nmessages = [\n system_message,\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the official language of {{ country }}?\"),\n]\n\nres = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"country\": country},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\nprint(res)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Advanced Prompt Customization for Anthropic](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/prompt_customization_for_anthropic)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/anthropicgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AnthropicGenerator\"\nid: anthropicgenerator\nslug: \"/anthropicgenerator\"\ndescription: \"This component enables text completions using Anthropic large language models (LLMs).\"\n---\n\n# AnthropicGenerator\n\nThis component enables text completions using Anthropic large language models (LLMs).\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AnthropicVertexChatGenerator` enables text generation using state-of-the-art Claude 3 LLMs using the Anthropic Vertex AI API.\nIt supports `Claude 3.5 Sonnet`, `Claude 3 Opus`, `Claude 3 Sonnet`, and `Claude 3 Haiku` models, that are accessible through the Vertex AI API endpoint. For more details about the models, refer to [Anthropic Vertex AI documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/claude-on-vertex-ai).\n\n### Parameters\n\nTo use the `AnthropicVertexChatGenerator`, ensure you have a GCP project with Vertex AI enabled. You need to specify your GCP `project_id` and `region`.\n\nYou can provide these keys in the following ways:\n\n- The `REGION` and `PROJECT_ID` environment variables (recommended)\n- The `region` and `project_id` init parameters\n\nBefore making requests, you may need to authenticate with GCP using `gcloud auth login`.\n\nSet your preferred supported Anthropic model with the `model` parameter when initializing the component. Additionally, ensure that the desired Anthropic model is activated in the Vertex AI Model Garden.\n\n`AnthropicVertexChatGenerator` requires a prompt to generate text, but you can pass any text generation parameters available in the Anthropic [Messaging API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages) method directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and when running the component.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AzureOpenAIChatGenerator` supports OpenAI models deployed through Azure services. To see the list of supported models, head over to Azure [documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models?source=recommendations). The default model used with the component is `gpt-4o-mini`.\n\nTo work with Azure components, you will need an Azure OpenAI API key, as well as an Azure OpenAI Endpoint. You can learn more about them in Azure [documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/reference).\n\nThe component uses `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` and `AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN` environment variables by default. Otherwise, you can pass `api_key` and `azure_ad_token` at initialization:\n\n```python\nclient = AzureOpenAIChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"\",\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n azure_deployment=\"\",\n)\n```\n\n:::info\nWe recommend using environment variables instead of initialization parameters.\n:::\n\nThen, the component needs a list of `ChatMessage` objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata. See the [usage](https://www.notion.so/AzureOpenAIChatGenerator-c20636ac8b914ab798439a5f7a273ff0?pvs=21) section for an example.\n\nYou can pass any chat completion parameters that are valid for the `openai.ChatCompletion.create` method directly to `AzureOpenAIChatGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method. For more details on the supported parameters, refer to the [Azure documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/reference).\n\nYou can also specify a model for this component through the `azure_deployment` init parameter.\n\n### Structured Output\n\n`AzureOpenAIChatGenerator` supports structured output generation, allowing you to receive responses in a predictable format. You can use Pydantic models or JSON schemas to define the structure of the output through the `response_format` parameter in `generation_kwargs`.\n\nThis is useful when you need to extract structured data from text or generate responses that match a specific format.\n\n```python\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nclass NobelPrizeInfo(BaseModel):\n recipient_name: str\n award_year: int\n category: str\n achievement_description: str\n nationality: str\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"\",\n azure_deployment=\"gpt-4o\",\n generation_kwargs={\"response_format\": NobelPrizeInfo}\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"In 2021, American scientist David Julius received the Nobel Prize in\"\n \" Physiology or Medicine for his groundbreaking discoveries on how the human body\"\n \" senses temperature and touch.\"\n )\n])\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n>> {\"recipient_name\":\"David Julius\",\"award_year\":2021,\"category\":\"Physiology or Medicine\",\n>> \"achievement_description\":\"David Julius was awarded for his transformative findings\n>> regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying the human body's sense of temperature\n>> and touch. Through innovative experiments, he identified specific receptors responsible\n>> for detecting heat and mechanical stimuli, ranging from gentle touch to pain-inducing\n>> pressure.\",\"nationality\":\"American\"}\n```\n\n:::info Model Compatibility and Limitations\n\n- Pydantic models and JSON schemas are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n- Older models only support basic JSON mode through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`. For details, see [OpenAI JSON mode documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n- Streaming limitation: When using streaming with structured outputs, you must provide a JSON schema instead of a Pydantic model for `response_format`.\n- For complete information, check the [Azure OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/structured-outputs).\n:::\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it’s generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure any `Generator` or `ChatGenerator` with a streaming callback\ncomponent = SomeGeneratorOrChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n## If this is a `ChatGenerator`, pass a list of messages:\n## from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n## component.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n\n## If this is a (non-chat) `Generator`, pass a prompt:\n## component.run({\"prompt\": \"Your prompt here\"})\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response.

To see the list of supported models, head over to Azure [documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models?source=recommendations). The default model used with the component is `gpt-4o-mini`.\n\nTo work with Azure components, you will need an Azure OpenAI API key, as well as an Azure OpenAI Endpoint. You can learn more about them in Azure [documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/reference).\n\nThe component uses `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` and `AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN` environment variables by default. Otherwise, you can pass `api_key` and `azure_ad_token` at initialization:\n\n```python\nclient = AzureOpenAIGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"\",\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n azure_deployment=\"\",\n)\n```\n\n:::info\nWe recommend using environment variables instead of initialization parameters.\n:::\n\nThen, the component needs a prompt to operate, but you can pass any text generation parameters valid for the `openai.ChatCompletion.create` method directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method. For more details on the supported parameters, refer to the [Azure documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/reference).\n\nYou can also specify a model for this component through the `azure_deployment` init parameter.\n\n### Streaming\n\n`AzureOpenAIGenerator` supports streaming the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter. Note that streaming the tokens is only compatible with generating a single response, so `n` must be set to 1 for streaming to work.\n\n:::info\nThis component is designed for text generation, not for chat. If you want to use LLMs for chat, use [`AzureOpenAIChatGenerator`](azureopenaichatgenerator.mdx) instead.\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators import AzureOpenAIGenerator\nclient = AzureOpenAIGenerator()\nresponse = client.run(\"What's Natural Language Processing? Be brief.\")\nprint(response)\n\n>> {'replies': ['Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on\n>> the interaction between computers and human language.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` uses OpenAI's Responses API through Azure OpenAI services. It supports gpt-5 and o-series models (reasoning models like o1, o3-mini) deployed on Azure. The default model is `gpt-5-mini`.\n\nThe Responses API is designed for reasoning-capable models and supports features like reasoning summaries, multi-turn conversations with previous response IDs, and structured outputs. This component provides access to these capabilities through Azure's infrastructure.\n\nThe component requires a list of `ChatMessage` objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`), and optional metadata. See the [usage](#usage) section for examples.\n\nYou can pass any parameters valid for the OpenAI Responses API directly to `AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to the `run()` method. For more details on the supported parameters, refer to the [Azure OpenAI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/reference).\n\nYou can specify a model for this component through the `azure_deployment` init parameter, which should match your Azure deployment name.\n\n### Authentication\n\nTo work with Azure components, you need an Azure OpenAI API key and an Azure OpenAI endpoint. You can learn more about them in the [Azure documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/reference).\n\nThe component uses `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` and `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` environment variables by default. Otherwise, you can pass these at initialization using a [`Secret`](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx):\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n azure_deployment=\"gpt-5-mini\",\n)\n```\n\nFor Azure Active Directory authentication, you can pass a callable that returns a token:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\n\n\ndef get_azure_ad_token():\n # Your Azure AD token retrieval logic\n return \"your-azure-ad-token\"\n\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n api_key=get_azure_ad_token,\n azure_deployment=\"gpt-5-mini\",\n)\n```\n\n### Reasoning Support\n\nOne of the key features of the Responses API is support for reasoning models. You can configure reasoning behavior using the `reasoning` parameter in `generation_kwargs`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"medium\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}},\n)\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"What's the most efficient sorting algorithm for nearly sorted data?\",\n ),\n]\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\nThe `reasoning` parameter accepts:\n- `effort`: Level of reasoning effort - `\"low\"`, `\"medium\"`, or `\"high\"`\n- `summary`: How to generate reasoning summaries - `\"auto\"` or `\"generate_summary\": True/False`\n\n:::note\nOpenAI does not return the actual reasoning tokens, but you can view the summary if enabled. For more details, see the [OpenAI Reasoning documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/reasoning).\n:::\n\n### Multi-turn Conversations\n\nThe Responses API supports multi-turn conversations using `previous_response_id`. You can pass the response ID from a previous turn to maintain conversation context:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n)\n\n# First turn\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's quantum computing?\")]\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nresponse_id = response[\"replies\"][0].meta.get(\"id\")\n\n# Second turn - reference previous response\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Can you explain that in simpler terms?\")]\nresponse = client.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"previous_response_id\": response_id})\n```\n\n### Structured Output\n\n`AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` supports structured output generation through the `text_format` and `text` parameters in `generation_kwargs`:\n\n- **`text_format`**: Pass a Pydantic model to define the structure\n- **`text`**: Pass a JSON schema directly\n\n**Using a Pydantic model**:\n\n```python\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nclass ProductInfo(BaseModel):\n name: str\n price: float\n category: str\n in_stock: bool\n\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n azure_deployment=\"gpt-4o\",\n generation_kwargs={\"text_format\": ProductInfo},\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(\n messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Extract product info: 'Wireless Mouse, $29.99, Electronics, Available in stock'\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\n**Using a JSON schema**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\njson_schema = {\n \"format\": {\n \"type\": \"json_schema\",\n \"name\": \"ProductInfo\",\n \"strict\": True,\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"name\": {\"type\": \"string\"},\n \"price\": {\"type\": \"number\"},\n \"category\": {\"type\": \"string\"},\n \"in_stock\": {\"type\": \"boolean\"},\n },\n \"required\": [\"name\", \"price\", \"category\", \"in_stock\"],\n \"additionalProperties\": False,\n },\n },\n}\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n azure_deployment=\"gpt-4o\",\n generation_kwargs={\"text\": json_schema},\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(\n messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Extract product info: 'Wireless Mouse, $29.99, Electronics, Available in stock'\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\n:::info Model Compatibility and Limitations\n- Both Pydantic models and JSON schemas are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n- If both `text_format` and `text` are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and the JSON schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n- Streaming is not supported when using structured outputs.\n- Older models only support basic JSON mode through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`. For details, see [OpenAI JSON mode documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n- For complete information, check the [Azure OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/structured-outputs).\n:::\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter. It accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **Haystack Tool objects and Toolsets**: Pass Haystack `Tool` objects or `Toolset` objects, including mixed lists of both\n- **OpenAI/MCP tool definitions**: Pass pre-defined OpenAI or MCP tool definitions as dictionaries\n\nNote that you cannot mix Haystack tools and OpenAI/MCP tools in the same call - choose one format or the other.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\ndef get_weather(city: str) -> str:\n \"\"\"Get weather information for a city.\"\"\"\n return f\"Weather in {city}: Sunny, 22°C\"\n\n\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"get_weather\",\n description=\"Get current weather for a city\",\n function=get_weather,\n parameters={\"type\": \"object\", \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}}},\n)\n\ngenerator = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n tools=[weather_tool],\n)\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather in Paris?\")]\nresponse = generator.run(messages)\n```\n\nYou can control strict schema adherence with the `tools_strict` parameter. When set to `True` (default is `False`), the model will follow the tool schema exactly. Note that the Responses API has its own strictness enforcement mechanisms independent of this parameter.\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it's generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure any `Generator` or `ChatGenerator` with a streaming callback\ncomponent = SomeGeneratorOrChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n## If this is a `ChatGenerator`, pass a list of messages:\n## from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n## component.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n\n## If this is a (non-chat) `Generator`, pass a prompt:\n## component.run({\"prompt\": \"Your prompt here\"})\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nGive preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is an example of using `AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` independently with reasoning and streaming:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nclient = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk,\n generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"high\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}},\n)\nresponse = client.run(\n [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Solve this logic puzzle: If all roses are flowers and some flowers fade quickly, can we conclude that some roses fade quickly?\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].reasoning) # Access reasoning summary if available\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThis example shows a pipeline that uses `ChatPromptBuilder` to create dynamic prompts and `AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` with reasoning enabled to generate explanations of complex topics:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder()\nllm = AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n azure_endpoint=\"https://your-resource.azure.openai.com/\",\n generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"low\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}},\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\ntopic = \"quantum computing\"\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You are a helpful assistant that explains complex topics clearly.\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Explain {{topic}} in simple terms\"),\n]\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"topic\": topic},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\nprint(result)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/coherechatgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CohereChatGenerator\"\nid: coherechatgenerator\nslug: \"/coherechatgenerator\"\ndescription: \"CohereChatGenerator enables chat completions using Cohere's large language models (LLMs).\"\n---\n\n# CohereChatGenerator\n\nCohereChatGenerator enables chat completions using Cohere's large language models (LLMs).\n\n

Check out the most recent full list in [Cohere documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/reference/chat).\n\n## Overview\n\n`CohereChatGenerator` needs a Cohere API key to work. You can set this key in:\n\n- The `api_key` init parameter using [Secret API](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx)\n- The `COHERE_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n\nThen, the component needs a prompt to operate, but you can pass any text generation parameters valid for the `Co.chat` method directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method. For more details on the parameters supported by the Cohere API, refer to the [Cohere documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/reference/chat).\n\nFinally, the component needs a list of `ChatMessage` objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`CohereChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.cohere import CohereChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = CohereChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install `cohere-haystack` package to use the `CohereChatGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install cohere-haystack\n```\n\n#### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.cohere import CohereChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = CohereChatGenerator()\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CometAPIChatGenerator` provides access to over 500 AI models through the Comet API, a unified API gateway for models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and many more. You can use different models from different providers within a single pipeline with a consistent interface.\n\nComet API uses a single API key for all providers, which allows you to switch between or combine different models without managing multiple credentials.\n\nThe range of models supported by Comet API include:\n\n- OpenAI models: `gpt-4o`, `gpt-4o-mini` (default), `gpt-4-turbo`, and more\n- Anthropic models: `claude-3-5-sonnet`, `claude-3-opus`, and more\n- Google models: `gemini-1.5-pro`, `gemini-1.5-flash`, and more\n- Meta models: `llama-3.3-70b`, `llama-3.1-405b`, and more\n- Mistral models: `mistral-large-latest`, `mistral-small`, and more\n\nFor a complete list of available models, check the [Comet API documentation](https://apidoc.cometapi.com/).\n\nThe component needs a list of [`ChatMessage`](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.\n\nYou can pass any chat completion parameters valid for the underlying model directly to `CometAPIChatGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to the `run()` method.\n\n### Authentication\n\n`CometAPIChatGenerator` needs a Comet API key to work. You can set this key in:\n\n- The `api_key` init parameter using [Secret API](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx)\n- The `COMET_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n\n### Structured Output\n\n`CometAPIChatGenerator` supports structured output generation for compatible models, allowing you to receive responses in a predictable format. You can use Pydantic models or JSON schemas to define the structure of the output through the `response_format` parameter in `generation_kwargs`.\n\nThis is useful when you need to extract structured data from text or generate responses that match a specific format.\n\n```python\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.cometapi import CometAPIChatGenerator\n\nclass CityInfo(BaseModel):\n city_name: str\n country: str\n population: int\n famous_for: str\n\nclient = CometAPIChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4o-2024-08-06\",\n generation_kwargs={\"response_format\": CityInfo}\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany with a population of \"\n \"approximately 3.7 million. It's famous for its history, culture, and nightlife.\"\n )\n])\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n>> {\"city_name\":\"Berlin\",\"country\":\"Germany\",\"population\":3700000,\n>> \"famous_for\":\"history, culture, and nightlife\"}\n```\n\n:::info Model Compatibility\nStructured output support depends on the underlying model. OpenAI models starting from `gpt-4o-2024-08-06` support Pydantic models and JSON schemas. For details on which models support this feature, refer to the respective model provider's documentation.\n:::\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`CometAPIChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.cometapi import CometAPIChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = CometAPIChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\n`CometAPIChatGenerator` supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\nYou can stream output as it's generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n# Configure the generator with a streaming callback\ncomponent = CometAPIChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n# Pass a list of messages\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ncomponent.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nWe recommend to give preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `cometapi-haystack` package to use the `CometAPIChatGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install cometapi-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.cometapi import CometAPIChatGenerator\n\nclient = CometAPIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `DALLEImageGenerator` component generates images using OpenAI's DALL-E model.\n\nBy default, the component uses `dall-e-3` model, standard picture quality, and 1024x1024 resolution. You can change these parameters using `model` (during component initialization), `quality`, and `size` (during component initialization or run) parameters.\n\n`DALLEImageGenerator` needs an OpenAI key to work. It uses an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key`:\n\n```\nimage_generator = DALLEImageGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nCheck our [API reference](/reference/generators-api#dalleimagegenerator) for the detailed component parameters description, or the [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/images/create) for the details on OpenAI API parameters.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators import DALLEImageGenerator\n\nimage_generator = DALLEImageGenerator()\nresponse = image_generator.run(\"Show me a picture of a black cat.\")\n\nprint(response)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn the following pipeline, we first set up a `PromptBuilder` that will structure the image description with a detailed template describing various artistic elements.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`FallbackChatGenerator` is a wrapper component that tries multiple Chat Generators sequentially until one succeeds. If a Generator fails, the component tries the next one in the list. This handles provider outages, rate limits, and other transient failures.\n\nThe component forwards all parameters to the underlying Chat Generators and returns the first successful result. When a Generator raises any exception, the component tries the next Generator. This includes timeout errors, rate limit errors (429), authentication errors (401), context length errors (400), server errors (500+), and any other exception.\n\nThe component returns execution metadata including which Generator succeeded, how many attempts were made, and which Generators failed. All parameters (`messages`, `generation_kwargs`, `tools`, `streaming_callback`) are forwarded to the underlying Generators.\n\nTimeout enforcement is delegated to the underlying Chat Generators. To control latency, configure your Chat Generators with a `timeout` parameter. Chat Generators like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cohere support timeout parameters that raise exceptions when exceeded.\n\n### Monitoring and Telemetry\n\nThe `meta` dictionary in the output contains useful information for monitoring:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import (\n FallbackChatGenerator,\n OpenAIChatGenerator,\n)\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Set up generators\nprimary = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o\")\nbackup = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\ngenerator = FallbackChatGenerator(chat_generators=[primary, backup])\n\n## Run and inspect metadata\nresult = generator.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hello\")])\n\nmeta = result[\"meta\"]\nprint(\n f\"Successful generator index: {meta['successful_chat_generator_index']}\",\n) # 0 for first, 1 for second, etc.\nprint(\n f\"Successful generator class: {meta['successful_chat_generator_class']}\",\n) # e.g., \"OpenAIChatGenerator\"\nprint(\n f\"Total attempts made: {meta['total_attempts']}\",\n) # How many Generators were tried\nprint(\n f\"Failed generators: {meta['failed_chat_generators']}\",\n) # List of failed Generator names\n```\n\nYou can use this metadata to:\n\n- Track which Generators are being used most frequently\n- Monitor failure rates for each Generator\n- Set up alerts when fallbacks occur\n- Adjust Generator ordering based on success rates\n\n### Streaming\n\n`FallbackChatGenerator` supports streaming through the `streaming_callback` parameter.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`GoogleGenAIChatGenerator` supports Gemini generative models, such as\n`gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview`, `gemini-3.1-pro-preview`, `gemini-3-flash-preview`, `gemini-2.5-flash`, `gemini-2.5-pro`, and `gemini-2.5-flash-lite`.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`GoogleGenAIChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_genai import GoogleGenAIChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = GoogleGenAIChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n### Authentication\n\nGoogle Gen AI is compatible with both the Gemini Developer API and the Vertex AI API.\n\nTo use this component with the Gemini Developer API and get an API key, visit [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/).\nTo use this component with the Vertex AI API, visit [Google Cloud > Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai).\n\nThe component uses a `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) and `Secret.from_token` static method:\n\n```python\nembedder = GoogleGenAITextEmbedder(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\nThe following examples show how to use the component with the Gemini Developer API and the Vertex AI API.\n\n#### Gemini Developer API (API Key Authentication)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\n## set the environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY)\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIChatGenerator()\n```\n\n#### Vertex AI (Application Default Credentials)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\n## Using Application Default Credentials (requires gcloud auth setup)\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIChatGenerator(\n api=\"vertex\",\n vertex_ai_project=\"my-project\",\n vertex_ai_location=\"us-central1\",\n)\n```\n\n#### Vertex AI (API Key Authentication)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\n## set the environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY)\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIChatGenerator(api=\"vertex\")\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nTo start using this integration, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install google-genai-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.chat_message import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\n## Initialize the chat generator\nchat_generator = GoogleGenAIChatGenerator()\n\n## Generate a response\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about movie Shawshank Redemption\")]\nresponse = chat_generator.run(messages=messages)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\nWith multimodal inputs:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_genai import (\n GoogleGenAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\nllm = GoogleGenAIChatGenerator()\n\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\")\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\"What does the image show?

First, define the function locally and convert into a [Tool](https://www.notion.so/docs/tool):\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\n\n## example function to get the current weather\ndef get_current_weather(\n location: Annotated[\n str,\n \"The city for which to get the weather, e.g. 'San Francisco'\",\n ] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[str, \"The unit for the temperature, e.g. 'celsius'\"] = \"celsius\",\n) -> str:\n return f\"The weather in {location} is sunny.

It explains the distinction between Generators and ChatGenerators, discusses using proprietary and open models from various providers, and explores options for using open models on-premise.\"\n---\n\n# Choosing the Right Generator\n\nThis page provides information on choosing the right Generator for interacting with Generative Language Models in Haystack. It explains the distinction between Generators and ChatGenerators, discusses using proprietary and open models from various providers, and explores options for using open models on-premise.\n\nIn Haystack, Generators are the main interface for interacting with Generative Language Models.\nThis guide aims to simplify the process of choosing the right Generator based on your preferences and computing resources. This guide does not focus on selecting a specific model itself but rather a model type and a Haystack Generator: as you will see, in several cases, you have different options to use the same model.\n\n## Generators vs ChatGenerators\n\nThe first distinction we are talking about is between Generators and ChatGenerators, for example, OpenAIGenerator and OpenAIChatGenerator, HuggingFaceAPIGenerator and HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator, and so on.\n\n- **Generators** are components that expect a prompt (a string) and return the generated text in “replies”.\n- **ChatGenerators** support the [ChatMessage data class](../../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) out of the box. They expect a list of Chat Messages and return a Chat Message in “replies”.\n\nThe choice between Generators and ChatGenerators depends on your use case and the underlying model. If you anticipate a multi-turn interaction with the Language Model in a chat scenario, opting for a ChatGenerator is generally better.\n\n:::tip\nTo learn more about this comparison, check out our [Generators vs Chat Generators](generators-vs-chat-generators.mdx) guide.\n:::\n\n## Streaming Support\n\nStreaming refers to outputting LLM responses word by word rather than waiting for the entire response to be generated before outputting everything at once.\n\nYou can check which Generators have streaming support on the [Generators overview page](../../generators.mdx).\n\nWhen you enable streaming, the generator calls your `streaming_callback` for every `StreamingChunk`. Each chunk represents exactly one of the following:\n\n- **Tool calls**: The model is building a tool/function call. Read `chunk.tool_calls`.\n- **Tool result**: A tool finished and returned output. Read `chunk.tool_call_result`.\n- **Text tokens**: Normal assistant text. Read `chunk.content`.\n\nOnly one of these fields appears per chunk. Use `chunk.start` and `chunk.finish_reason` to detect boundaries. Use `chunk.index` and `chunk.component_info` for tracing.\n\nFor providers that support multiple candidates, set `n=1` to stream.\n\n:::info Parameter Details\n\nCheck out the parameter details in our [API Reference for StreamingChunk](/reference/data-classes-api#streamingchunk).\n:::\n\nThe simplest way is to use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` function. It handles tool calls, tool results, and text tokens.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\ngenerator = SomeGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n## For ChatGenerators, pass a list[ChatMessage]. For text generators, pass a prompt string.\n```\n\n### Custom Callback\n\nIf you need custom rendering, you can create your own callback.\n\nHandle the three chunk types in this order: tool calls, tool result, and text.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import StreamingChunk\n\n\ndef my_stream(chunk: StreamingChunk):\n if chunk.start:\n on_start() # e.g., open an SSE stream\n\n # 1) Tool calls: name and JSON args arrive as deltas\n if chunk.tool_calls:\n for t in chunk.tool_calls:\n on_tool_call_delta(index=t.index, name=t.tool_name, args_delta=t.arguments)\n\n # 2) Tool result: final output from the tool\n if chunk.tool_call_result is not None:\n on_tool_result(chunk.tool_call_result)\n\n # 3) Text tokens\n if chunk.content:\n on_text_delta(chunk.content)\n\n if chunk.finish_reason:\n on_finish(chunk.finish_reason)\n```\n\n### Agents and Tools\n\nAgents and `ToolInvoker` forward your `streaming_callback`. They also emit a final tool-result chunk with a `finish_reason` so UIs can close the “tool phase” cleanly before assistant text resumes. The default `print_streaming_chunk` formats this for you.\n\n## Proprietary Models\n\nUsing proprietary models is a quick way to start with Generative Language Models. The typical approach involves calling these hosted models using an API Key. You are paying based on the number of tokens, both sent and generated.\nYou don’t need significant resources on your local machine, as the computation is executed on the provider’s infrastructure. When using these models, your data exits your machine and is transmitted to the model provider.\n\nHaystack supports the models offered by a variety of providers: OpenAI, Azure, Google VertexAI and Makersuite, Cohere, and Mistral, with more being added constantly.\n\nWe also support [Amazon Bedrock](../amazonbedrockgenerator.mdx): it provides access to proprietary models from Amazon Titan family, AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, and several open source models, such as Llama from Meta.\n\n## Open Models\n\nWhen discussing open (weights) models, we're referring to models with public weights that anyone can deploy on their infrastructure. The datasets used for training are shared less frequently. One could choose to use an open model for several reasons, including more transparency and control of the model.\n\n:::info Commercial Use\n\nNot all open models are suitable for commercial use. We advise thoroughly reviewing the license, typically available on Hugging Face, before considering their adoption.\n:::\n\nEven if the model is open, you might still want to rely on model providers to use it, mostly because you want someone else to host the model and take care of the infrastructural aspects. In these scenarios, your data transitions from your machine to the provider facilitating the model.\n\nThe costs associated with these solutions can vary. Depending on the solution you choose, you pay for the tokens consumed, both sent and generated or for the hosting of the mode, often billed per hour.\n\nIn Haystack, several Generators support these solutions through privately hosted or shared hosted models.\n\n### Shared Hosted Models\n\nWith this type, you leverage an instance of the model shared with other users, with payment typically based on consumed tokens, both sent and generated.\n\nHere are the components that support shared hosted models in Haystack:\n\n- Hugging Face API Generators, when querying the [free Hugging Face Inference API](https://huggingface.co/inference-api). The free Inference API provides access to some popular models for quick experimentation, although it comes with rate limitations and is not intended for production use.\n- Various cloud providers offer interfaces compatible with OpenAI Generators. These include Anyscale, Deep Infra, Fireworks, Lemonfox.ai, OctoAI, Together AI, and many others.\n Here is an example using OctoAI and [`OpenAIChatGenerator`](../openaichatgenerator.mdx):\n\n```python\n\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"ENVVAR_WITH_API_KEY\"),\n api_base_url=\"https://text.octoai.run/v1\",\n model=\"mixtral-8x7b-instruct-fp16\",\n)\n\ngenerator.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the best French cheese?\")])\n```\n\n### Privately Hosted Models\n\nIn this case, a private instance of the model is deployed by the provider, and you typically pay per hour.\n\nHere are the components that support privately hosted models in Haystack:\n\n- Amazon [SagemakerGenerator](../sagemakergenerator.mdx)\n- HuggingFace API Generators, when used to query [HuggingFace Inference endpoints](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints).\n\n### Shared Hosted Model vs Privately Hosted Model\n\n**Why choose a shared hosted model:**\n\n- Cost Savings: Access cost-effective solutions especially suitable for users with varying usage patterns or limited budgets.\n- Ease of Use: Setup and maintenance are simplified as the provider manages the infrastructure and updates, making it user-friendly.\n\n**Why choose a privately hosted model:**\n\n- Dedicated Resources: Ensure consistent performance with dedicated resources for your instance and avoid any impact from other users.\n- Scalability: Scale resources based on requirements while ensuring optimal performance during peak times and cost savings during off-peak hours.\n- Predictable Costs: Billing per hour leads to more predictable costs, especially when there is a clear understanding of usage patterns.\n\n## Open Models On-Premise\n\nOn-premise models mean that you host open models on your machine/infrastructure.\n\nThis choice is ideal for local experimentation.\n\nIt is suitable in production scenarios where data privacy concerns drive the decision not to transmit data to external providers and you have ample computational resources.\n\n### Local Experimentation\n\n- GPU: [`HuggingFaceLocalGenerator`](../huggingfacelocalgenerator.mdx) is based on the Hugging Face Transformers library. This is good for experimentation when you have some GPU resources (for example, in Colab). If GPU resources are limited, alternative quantization options like bitsandbytes, GPTQ, and AWQ are supported. For more performant solutions in production use cases, refer to the options below.\n- CPU (+ GPU if available): [`LlamaCppGenerator`](../llamacppgenerator.mdx) uses the Llama.cpp library – a project written in C/C++ for efficient inference of LLMs. In particular, it employs the quantized GGUF format, suitable for running these models on standard machines (even without GPUs). If GPU resources are available, some model layers can be offloaded to GPU for enhanced speed.\n- CPU (+ GPU if available): [`OllamaGenerator`](../ollamagenerator.mdx) is based on the Ollama project, acting like Docker for LLMs. It provides a simple way to package and deploy these models. Internally based on the Llama.cpp library, it offers a more streamlined process for running on various platforms.\n\n### Serving LLMs in Production\n\nThe following solutions are suitable if you want to run Language Models in production and have GPU resources available. They use innovative techniques for fast inference and efficient handling of numerous concurrent requests.\n\n- vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs. Haystack supports vLLM through the OpenAI Generators.\n- Hugging Face API Generators, when used to query a TGI instance deployed on-premise. Hugging Face Text Generation Inference is a toolkit for efficiently deploying and serving LLMs.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/guides-to-generators/function-calling.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Function Calling\"\nid: function-calling\nslug: \"/function-calling\"\ndescription: \"Learn about function calling and how to use it as a tool in Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# Function Calling\n\nLearn about function calling and how to use it as a tool in Haystack.\n\nFunction calling is a powerful feature that significantly enhances the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). It enables better functionality, immediate data access, and interaction, and sets up for integration with external APIs and services. Function calling turns LLMs into adaptable tools for various use case scenarios.\n\n## Use Cases\n\nFunction calling is useful for a variety of purposes, but two main points are particularly notable:\n\n1. **Enhanced LLM Functionality**: Function calling enhances the capabilities of LLMs beyond just text generation. It allows to convert human-generated prompts into precise function invocation descriptors. These descriptors can then be used by connected LLM frameworks to perform computations, manipulate data, and interact with external APIs. This expansion of functionality makes LLMs adaptable tools for a wide array of tasks and industries.\n2. **Real-Time Data Access and Interaction**: Function calling lets LLMs create function calls that access and interact with real-time data. This is necessary for apps that need current data, like news, weather, or financial market updates. By giving access to the latest information, this feature greatly improves the usefulness and trustworthiness of LLMs in changing and time-critical situations.\n\n:::note Important Note\n\nThe model doesn't actually call the function. Function calling returns JSON with the name of a function and the arguments to invoke it.\n:::\n\n## Example\n\nIn the most simple form, Haystack users can invoke function calling by interacting directly with ChatGenerators. In this example, the human prompt “What's the weather like in Berlin?” is converted into a method parameter invocation descriptor that can, in turn, be passed off to some hypothetical weather service:\n\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom typing import Dict, Any, List\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ntools = [\n {\n \"type\": \"function\",\n \"function\": {\n \"name\": \"get_current_weather\",\n \"description\": \"Get the current weather\",\n \"parameters\": {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"location\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"description\": \"The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA\",\n },\n \"format\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"enum\": [\"celsius\", \"fahrenheit\"],\n \"description\": \"The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location.\",\n },\n },\n \"required\": [\"location\", \"format\"],\n },\n }\n }\n]\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Berlin?\")]\ngenerator = OpenAIChatGenerator()\nresponse = generator.run(messages=messages, generation_kwargs= {\"tools\": tools})\nresponse_msg = response[\"replies\"][0]\n\nmessages.append(response_msg)\nprint(response_msg)\n\n>> ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[ToolCall(tool_name='get_current_weather',\n>> arguments={'location': 'Berlin', 'format': 'celsius'}, id='call_9kJ0Vql2w2oXkTZJ5SVt1KGh')],\n>> _name=None, _meta={'model': 'gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18', 'index': 0,\n>> 'finish_reason': 'tool_calls', 'usage': {'completion_tokens': 21, 'prompt_tokens': 88,\n>> 'total_tokens': 109, 'completion_tokens_details': {'accepted_prediction_tokens': 0,\n>> 'audio_tokens': 0, 'reasoning_tokens': 0, 'rejected_prediction_tokens': 0},\n>> 'prompt_tokens_details': {'audio_tokens': 0, 'cached_tokens': 0}}})\n```\n\nLet’s pretend that the hypothetical weather service responded with some JSON response of the current weather data in Berlin:\n\n```python\nweather_response = [\n {\n \"id\": \"response_uhGNifLfopt5JrCUxXw1L3zo\",\n \"status\": \"success\",\n \"function\": {\n \"name\": \"get_current_weather\",\n \"arguments\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\", \"format\": \"celsius\"},\n },\n \"data\": {\n \"location\": \"Berlin\",\n \"temperature\": 18,\n \"weather_condition\": \"Partly Cloudy\",\n \"humidity\": \"60%\",\n \"wind_speed\": \"15 km/h\",\n \"observation_time\": \"2024-03-05T14:00:00Z\",\n },\n },\n]\n```\n\nWe would normally pack the response back into [`ChatMessage`](../../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) and add it to a list of messages:\n\n```python\nfcm = ChatMessage.from_function(\n content=json.dumps(weather_response),\n name=\"get_current_weather\",\n)\nmessages.append(fcm)\n```\n\nSending these messages back to LLM enables the model to understand the context of the ongoing LLM interaction through `ChatMessage` list and respond back with a human-readable weather report for Berlin:\n\n```python\nresponse = generator.run(messages=messages)\nresponse_msg = response[\"replies\"][0]\n\nprint(response_msg.content)\n\n>> Currently in Berlin, the weather is partly cloudy with a temperature of 18°C. The humidity is 60% and there is a wind speed of 15 km/h.\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\nHaystack 2.0 introduces a better way to call functions using pipelines.\n\nFor example, you can easily connect an LLM with a ChatGenerator to an external service using an OpenAPI specification. This lets you resolve service parameters with function calls and then use those parameters to invoke the external service. The service's response is added back into the LLM's context window. This method supports real-time, retriever-augmented generation that works with any OpenAPI-compliant service. It's a big improvement in how LLMs can use external structured data and functionalities.\n\nFor more information and examples, see the documentation on [`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions`](../../converters/openapiservicetofunctions.mdx) and [`OpenAPIServiceConnector`](../../connectors/openapiserviceconnector.mdx).\n\n:notebook: **Tutorial:** [Building a Chat Application with Function Calling](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/40_building_chat_application_with_function_calling)\n\n🧑‍🍳 **Cookbooks:**\n\n- [Function Calling with OpenAIChatGenerator](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/function_calling_with_openaichatgenerator)\n- [Information Extraction with Gorilla](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/information-extraction-gorilla)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/guides-to-generators/generators-vs-chat-generators.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Generators vs Chat Generators\"\nid: generators-vs-chat-generators\nslug: \"/generators-vs-chat-generators\"\ndescription: \"This page explains the difference between Generators and Chat Generators in Haystack.

It emphasizes choosing the right Generator based on the use case and model.\n\n## Input/Output\n\n| | **Generators** | **Chat Generators** |\n| ----------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |\n| **Inputs** | String (a prompt) | A list of [ChatMessages](../../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) |\n| **Outputs** | Text | ChatMessage (in \"replies\") |\n\n## Pick the Right Class\n\n### Overview\n\nThe choice between Generators (or text Generators) and Chat Generators depends on your use case and the underlying model.\n\nAs highlighted by the different input and output characteristics above, Generators and Chat Generators are distinct, often interacting with different models through calls to different APIs. Therefore, they are not automatically interchangeable.\n\n:::tip Multi-turn Interactions\n\nIf you anticipate a two-way interaction with the Language Model in a chat scenario, opting for a Chat Generator is generally better. This choice ensures a more structured and straightforward interaction with the Language Model.\n:::\n\nChat Generators use Chat Messages. They can accommodate roles like \"system\", \"user\", \"assistant\", and even \"function\", enabling a more structured and nuanced interaction with Language Models. Chat Generators can handle many interactions, including complex queries, mixed conversations using tools, resolving function names and parameters from free text, and more. The format of Chat Messages is also helpful in reducing off-topic responses. Chat Generators are better at keeping the conversation on track by providing a consistent context.\n\n### Function Calling\n\nSome Chat Generators allow to leverage the function-calling capabilities of the models by passing tool/function definitions.\n\nIf you'd like to learn more, read the introduction to [Function Calling](function-calling.mdx) in our docs.\n\nOr, you can find more information in relevant providers’ documentation:\n\n- [Function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling) for [`OpenAIChatGenerator`](../openaichatgenerator.mdx)\n- Gemini [function calling](https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/gemini-function-calling#0) for [`VertexAIGeminiChatGenerator`](../vertexaigeminichatgenerator.mdx)\n\n### Compatibility Exceptions\n\n- The [`HuggingFaceLocalGenerator`](../huggingfacelocalgenerator.mdx) is compatible with Chat models, although the [`HuggingFaceLocalChatGenerator`](../huggingfacelocalchatgenerator.mdx) is more suitable.\n\nIn such cases, opting for a Chat Generator simplifies the process, as Haystack handles the conversion of Chat Messages to a prompt that’s fit for the selected model.\n\n### No Corresponding Chat Generator\n\nIf a Generator does not have a corresponding Chat Generator, this does not imply that the Generator cannot be utilized in a chat scenario.\n\nFor example, [`LlamaCppGenerator`](../llamacppgenerator.mdx) can be used with both chat and non-chat models.\nHowever, without the `ChatMessage` data class, you need to pay close attention to the model's prompt template and adhere to it.\n\n#### Chat (Prompt) Template\n\nThe chat template may be available on the Model card on Hugging Face for open Language Models in a human-readable form.\nSee an example for [argilla/notus-7b-v1](https://huggingface.co/argilla/notus-7b-v1#prompt-template) model on the Hugging Face.\n\nUsually, it is also available as a Jinja template in the tokenizer_config.json.\nHere’s an example for [argilla/notus-7b-v1](https://huggingface.co/argilla/notus-7b-v1/blob/main/tokenizer_config.json#L34):\n\n```json\n{% for message in messages %}\\n{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}\\n{{ '<|user|>\\n' + message['content'] + eos_token }}\\n{% elif message['role'] == 'system' %}\\n{{ '<|system|>\\n' + message['content'] + eos_token }}\\n{% elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}\\n{{ '<|assistant|>\\n' + message['content'] + eos_token }}\\n{% endif %}\\n{% if loop.last and add_generation_prompt %}\\n{{ '<|assistant|>' }}\\n{% endif %}\\n{% endfor %}\n```\n\n## Different Types of Language Models\n\n:::note Topic Exploration\n\nThis field is young, constantly evolving, and distinctions are not always possible and precise.\n:::\n\nThe training of Generative Language Models involves several phases, yielding distinct models.\n\n### From Pretraining to Base Language Models\n\nIn the pretraining phase, models are trained on vast amounts of raw text in an unsupervised manner. During this stage, the model acquires the ability to generate statistically plausible text completions.\n\nFor instance, given the prompt “What is music...” the pretrained model can generate diverse plausible completions:\n\n- Adding more context: “...to your ears?”\n- Adding follow-up questions: “? What is sound? What is harmony?”\n- Providing an answer: “Music is a form of artistic expression…”\n\nThe model that emerges from this pretraining is commonly referred to as the **base Language Model**.\nExamples include [meta-llama/Llama-2-70b](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-hf) and [mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1).\n\nUsing base Language Models is infrequent in practical applications, as they cannot follow instructions or engage in conversation.\n\nIf you want to experiment with them, use the Haystack text Generators.\n\n### Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT) and Alignment with Human Preferences\n\nTo make the language model helpful in real applications, two additional training steps are usually performed.\n\n- Supervised Fine Tuning: The language Model is further trained on a dataset containing instruction-response pairs or multi-turn interactions. Depending on the dataset, the model can acquire the capability to follow instructions or engage in chat.\n _If model training stops at this point, it may perform well on some benchmarks, but it does not behave in a way that aligns with human user preferences._\n- Alignment with Human Preferences: This crucial step ensures that the Language Model aligns with human intent. Various techniques, such as RLHF and DPO, can be employed.\n _To learn more about these techniques and this evolving landscape, you can read [this blog post](https://ai-scholar.tech/en/articles/rlhf%2FDirect-Preference-Optimization)._\n\nAfter these phases, a Language Model suitable for practical applications is obtained.\nExamples include [meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf) and [mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2).\n\n#### Instruct vs Chat Language Models\n\nInstruct models are trained to follow instructions, while Chat models are trained for multi-turn conversations.\n\nThis information is sometimes evident in the model name (meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-**chat**-hf, mistralai/Mistral-7B-**Instruct**-v0.2) or within the accompanying model card.\n\n- For Chat Models, employing Chat Generators is the most natural choice.\n- Should you opt to utilize Instruct models for single-turn interactions, turning to text Generators is recommended.\n\nIt's worth noting that many recent Instruct models are equipped with a [chat template](#chat-prompt-template). An example of this is mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 [chat template](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2/blob/main/tokenizer_config.json#L42).\n\nUtilizing a Chat Generator is the optimal choice if the model features a Chat template and you intend to use it in chat scenarios. In these cases, you can expect out-of-the-box support for Chat Messages, and you don’t need to manually apply the aforementioned template.\n\n:::warning Caution\n\nThe distinction between Instruct and Chat models is not a strict dichotomy.\n\n- Following pre-training, Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT) and Alignment with Human Preferences can be executed multiple times using diverse datasets. In some cases, the differentiation between Instruct and Chat models may not be particularly meaningful.\n- Some open Language Models on Hugging Face lack explicit indications of their nature.\n:::\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/huggingfaceapichatgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\"\nid: huggingfaceapichatgenerator\nslug: \"/huggingfaceapichatgenerator\"\ndescription: \"This generator enables chat completion using various Hugging Face APIs.\"\n---\n\n# HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\n\nThis generator enables chat completion using various Hugging Face APIs.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator` can be used to generate chat completions using different Hugging Face APIs:\n\n- [Serverless Inference API (Inference Providers)](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers) - free tier available\n- [Paid Inference Endpoints](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints)\n- [Self-hosted Text Generation Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)\n\nThis component's main input is a list of `ChatMessage` objects. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata. For more information, check out our [`ChatMessage` docs](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx).\n\n:::info\nThis component is designed for chat completion, so it expects a list of messages, not a single string. If you want to use Hugging Face APIs for simple text generation (such as translation or summarization tasks) or don't want to use the `ChatMessage` object, use [`HuggingFaceAPIGenerator`](huggingfaceapigenerator.mdx) instead.\n:::\n\nThe component uses a `HF_API_TOKEN` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass a Hugging Face API token at initialization with `token` – see code examples below.\nThe token is needed:\n\n- If you use the Serverless Inference API, or\n- If you use the Inference Endpoints.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n#### Using Serverless Inference API (Inference Providers) - Free Tier Available\n\nThis API allows you to quickly experiment with many models hosted on the Hugging Face Hub, offloading the inference to Hugging Face servers. It's rate-limited and not meant for production.\n\nTo use this API, you need a [free Hugging Face token](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens).\nThe Generator expects the `model` in `api_params`. It's also recommended to specify a `provider` for better performance and reliability.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.utils.hf import HFGenerationAPIType\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\"),\n]\n\n## the api_type can be expressed using the HFGenerationAPIType enum or as a string\napi_type = HFGenerationAPIType.SERVERLESS_INFERENCE_API\napi_type = \"serverless_inference_api\" # this is equivalent to the above\n\ngenerator = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(\n api_type=api_type,\n api_params={\"model\": \"Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct\", \"provider\": \"together\"},\n token=Secret.from_env_var(\"HF_API_TOKEN\"),\n)\n\nresult = generator.run(messages)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Using Paid Inference Endpoints\n\nIn this case, a private instance of the model is deployed by Hugging Face, and you typically pay per hour.\n\nTo understand how to spin up an Inference Endpoint, visit [Hugging Face documentation](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints/dedicated).\n\nAdditionally, in this case, you need to provide your Hugging Face token.\nThe Generator expects the `url` of your endpoint in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\"),\n]\n\ngenerator = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(\n api_type=\"inference_endpoints\",\n api_params={\"url\": \"\"},\n token=Secret.from_env_var(\"HF_API_TOKEN\"),\n)\n\nresult = generator.run(messages)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Using Serverless Inference API (Inference Providers) with Text+Image Input\n\nYou can also use this component with multimodal models that support both text and image input:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.utils.hf import HFGenerationAPIType\n\n## Create an image from file path, URL, or base64\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"path/to/your/image.jpg\")\n\n## Create a multimodal message with both text and image\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe this image in detail\", image]),\n]\n\ngenerator = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(\n api_type=HFGenerationAPIType.SERVERLESS_INFERENCE_API,\n api_params={\n \"model\": \"Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct\", # Vision Language Model\n \"provider\": \"hyperbolic\",\n },\n token=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n)\n\nresult = generator.run(messages)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Using Self-Hosted Text Generation Inference (TGI)\n\n[Hugging Face Text Generation Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference) is a toolkit for efficiently deploying and serving LLMs.\n\nWhile it powers the most recent versions of Serverless Inference API and Inference Endpoints, it can be used easily on-premise through Docker.\n\nFor example, you can run a TGI container as follows:\n\n```shell\nmodel=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta\nvolume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run\n\ndocker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.4 --model-id $model\n```\n\nFor more information, refer to the [official TGI repository](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference).\n\nThe Generator expects the `url` of your TGI instance in `api_params`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\"),\n]\n\ngenerator = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(\n api_type=\"text_generation_inference\",\n api_params={\"url\": \"http://localhost:8080\"},\n)\n\nresult = generator.run(messages)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.utils.hf import HFGenerationAPIType\n\n## no parameter init, we don't use any runtime template variables\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder()\nllm = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(\n api_type=HFGenerationAPIType.SERVERLESS_INFERENCE_API,\n api_params={\"model\": \"Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct\", \"provider\": \"together\"},\n token=Secret.from_env_var(\"HF_API_TOKEN\"),\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\nlocation = \"Berlin\"\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": location},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Build with Google Gemma: chat and RAG](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/gemma_chat_rag)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/huggingfaceapigenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"HuggingFaceAPIGenerator\"\nid: huggingfaceapigenerator\nslug: \"/huggingfaceapigenerator\"\ndescription: \"This generator enables text generation using various Hugging Face APIs.\"\n---\n\n# HuggingFaceAPIGenerator\n\nThis generator enables text generation using various Hugging Face APIs.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n[Llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) is a library written in C/C++ for efficient inference of Large Language Models. It leverages the efficient quantized GGUF format, dramatically reducing memory requirements and accelerating inference. This means it is possible to run LLMs efficiently on standard machines (even without GPUs).\n\n`Llama.cpp` uses the quantized binary file of the LLM in GGUF format, which can be downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=gguf). `LlamaCppChatGenerator` supports models running on `Llama.cpp` by taking the path to the locally saved GGUF file as `model` parameter at initialization.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`LlamaCppChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = LlamaCppChatGenerator(\n model=\"/path/to/model.gguf\",\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall the `llama-cpp-haystack` package to use this integration:\n\n```shell\npip install llama-cpp-haystack\n```\n\n### Using a different compute backend\n\nThe default installation behavior is to build `llama.cpp` for CPU on Linux and Windows and use Metal on MacOS. To use other compute backends:\n\n1. Follow instructions on the [llama.cpp installation page](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python#installation) to install [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) for your preferred compute backend.\n2. Install [llama-cpp-haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/llama_cpp) using the command above.\n\nFor example, to use `llama-cpp-haystack` with the **cuBLAS backend**, you have to run the following commands:\n\n```shell\nexport GGML_CUDA=1\nCMAKE_ARGS=\"-DGGML_CUDA=on\" pip install llama-cpp-python\npip install llama-cpp-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Download the GGUF version of the desired LLM. The GGUF versions of popular models can be downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=gguf).\n2. Initialize `LlamaCppChatGenerator` with the path to the GGUF file and specify the required model and text generation parameters:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppChatGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n model_kwargs={\"n_gpu_layers\": -1},\n generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128, \"temperature\": 0.1},\n)\ngenerator.warm_up()\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Who is the best American actor?\")]\nresult = generator.run(messages)\n```\n\n### Passing additional model parameters\n\nThe `model`, `n_ctx`, `n_batch` arguments have been exposed for convenience and can be directly passed to the Generator during initialization as keyword arguments. Note that `model` translates to `llama.cpp`'s `model_path` parameter.\n\nThe `model_kwargs` parameter can pass additional arguments when initializing the model. In case of duplication, these parameters override the `model`, `n_ctx`, and `n_batch` initialization parameters.\n\nSee [Llama.cpp's LLM documentation](https://llama-cpp-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/#llama_cpp.Llama.__init__) for more information on the available model arguments.\n\n**Note**: Llama.cpp automatically extracts the `chat_template` from the model metadata for applying formatting to ChatMessages. You can override the `chat_template` used by passing in a custom `chat_handler` or `chat_format` as a model parameter.\n\nFor example, to offload the model to GPU during initialization:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppChatGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n model_kwargs={\"n_gpu_layers\": -1},\n)\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Who is the best American actor?\")]\nresult = generator.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128})\ngenerated_reply = result[\"replies\"][0].content\nprint(generated_reply)\n```\n\n### Passing text generation parameters\n\nThe `generation_kwargs` parameter can pass additional generation arguments like `max_tokens`, `temperature`, `top_k`, `top_p`, and others to the model during inference.\n\nSee [Llama.cpp's Chat Completion API documentation](https://llama-cpp-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/#llama_cpp.Llama.create_chat_completion) for more information on the available generation arguments.\n\n**Note**: JSON mode, Function Calling, and Tools are all supported as `generation_kwargs`. Please see the [llama-cpp-python GitHub README](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python?tab=readme-ov-file#json-and-json-schema-mode) for more information on how to use them.\n\nFor example, to set the `max_tokens` and `temperature`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppChatGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128, \"temperature\": 0.1},\n)\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Who is the best American actor?\")]\nresult = generator.run(messages)\n```\n\n### With multimodal (image + text) inputs\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppChatGenerator\n\n# Initialize with multimodal support\nllm = LlamaCppChatGenerator(\n model=\"llava-v1.5-7b-q4_0.gguf\",\n chat_handler_name=\"Llava15ChatHandler\", # Use llava-1-5 handler\n model_clip_path=\"mmproj-model-f16.gguf\", # CLIP model\n n_ctx=4096, # Larger context for image processing\n)\n\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\")\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\"What does the image show? Max 5 words.\", image],\n)\n\nresponse = llm.run([user_message])[\"replies\"][0].text\nprint(response)\n\n# Red apple on straw.\n```\n\nThe `generation_kwargs` can also be passed to the `run` method of the generator directly:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppChatGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n)\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Who is the best American actor?\")]\nresult = generator.run(\n messages,\n generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128, \"temperature\": 0.1},\n)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nWe use the `LlamaCppChatGenerator` in a Retrieval Augmented Generation pipeline on the [Simple Wikipedia](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pszemraj/simple_wikipedia) Dataset from Hugging Face and generate answers using the [OpenChat-3.5](https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat-3.5-1210) LLM.\n\nLoad the dataset:\n\n```python\n## Install HuggingFace Datasets using \"pip install datasets\"\nfrom datasets import

\n\n## Overview\n\n[Llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) is a library written in C/C++ for efficient inference of Large Language Models. It leverages the efficient quantized GGUF format, dramatically reducing memory requirements and accelerating inference. This means it is possible to run LLMs efficiently on standard machines (even without GPUs).\n\n`Llama.cpp` uses the quantized binary file of the LLM in GGUF format that can be downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=gguf). `LlamaCppGenerator` supports models running on `Llama.cpp` by taking the path to the locally saved GGUF file as `model` parameter at initialization.\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall the `llama-cpp-haystack` package:\n\n```bash\npip install llama-cpp-haystack\n```\n\n### Using a different compute backend\n\nThe default installation behavior is to build `llama.cpp` for CPU on Linux and Windows and use Metal on MacOS. To use other compute backends:\n\n1. Follow instructions on the [llama.cpp installation page](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python#installation) to install [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) for your preferred compute backend.\n2. Install [llama-cpp-haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/llama_cpp) using the command above.\n\nFor example, to use `llama-cpp-haystack` with the **cuBLAS backend**, you have to run the following commands:\n\n```bash\nexport GGML_CUDA=1\nCMAKE_ARGS=\"-DGGML_CUDA=on\" pip install llama-cpp-python\npip install llama-cpp-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n1. You need to download the GGUF version of the desired LLM. The GGUF versions of popular models can be downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=gguf).\n2. Initialize a `LlamaCppGenerator` with the path to the GGUF file and also specify the required model and text generation parameters:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppGenerator\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n model_kwargs={\"n_gpu_layers\": -1},\n generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128, \"temperature\": 0.1},\n)\ngenerator.warm_up()\nprompt = f\"Who is the best American actor?\"\nresult = generator.run(prompt)\n```\n\n### Passing additional model parameters\n\nThe `model`, `n_ctx`, `n_batch` arguments have been exposed for convenience and can be directly passed to the Generator during initialization as keyword arguments. Note that `model` translates to `llama.cpp`'s `model_path` parameter.\n\nThe `model_kwargs` parameter can pass additional arguments when initializing the model. In case of duplication, these parameters override the `model`, `n_ctx`, and `n_batch` initialization parameters.\n\nSee [Llama.cpp's LLM documentation](https://llama-cpp-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/#llama_cpp.Llama.__init__) for more information on the available model arguments.\n\nFor example, to offload the model to GPU during initialization:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppGenerator\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n model_kwargs={\"n_gpu_layers\": -1},\n)\nprompt = f\"Who is the best American actor?\"\nresult = generator.run(prompt, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128})\ngenerated_text = result[\"replies\"][0]\nprint(generated_text)\n```\n\n### Passing text generation parameters\n\nThe `generation_kwargs` parameter can pass additional generation arguments like `max_tokens`, `temperature`, `top_k`, `top_p`, and others to the model during inference.\n\nSee [Llama.cpp's Completion API documentation](https://llama-cpp-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/#llama_cpp.Llama.create_completion) for more information on the available generation arguments.\n\nFor example, to set the `max_tokens` and `temperature`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppGenerator\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128, \"temperature\": 0.1},\n)\nprompt = f\"Who is the best American actor?\"\nresult = generator.run(prompt)\n```\n\nThe `generation_kwargs` can also be passed to the `run` method of the generator directly:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_cpp import LlamaCppGenerator\n\ngenerator = LlamaCppGenerator(\n model=\"/content/openchat-3.5-1210.Q3_K_S.gguf\",\n n_ctx=512,\n n_batch=128,\n)\nprompt = f\"Who is the best American actor?\"\nresult = generator.run(\n prompt,\n generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 128, \"temperature\": 0.1},\n)\n```\n\n### Using in a Pipeline\n\nWe use the `LlamaCppGenerator` in a Retrieval Augmented Generation pipeline on the [Simple Wikipedia](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pszemraj/simple_wikipedia) Dataset from HuggingFace and generate answers using the [OpenChat-3.5](https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat-3.5-1210) LLM.\n\nLoad the dataset:\n\n```python\n## Install HuggingFace Datasets using \"pip install datasets\"\nfrom datasets import

doc in dataset\n]\n```\n\nIndex the documents to the `InMemoryDocumentStore` using the `SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder` and `DocumentWriter`:\n\n```python\ndoc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function=\"cosine\")\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n)\n\n## Indexing

\n\n## Overview\n\n[Llama Stack](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) provides building blocks and unified APIs to streamline the development of AI applications across various environments.\n\nThe `LlamaStackChatGenerator` enables you to access any LLMs exposed by inference providers hosted on a Llama Stack server. It abstracts away the underlying provider details, allowing you to reuse the same client-side code regardless of the inference backend. For a list of supported providers and configuration options, refer to the [Llama Stack documentation](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/providers/inference/index.html).\n\nThis component uses the same `ChatMessage` format as other Haystack Chat Generators for structured input and output. For more information, see the [ChatMessage documentation](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx).\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`LlamaStackChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_stack import LlamaStackChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = LlamaStackChatGenerator(\n model=\"ollama/llama3.2:3b\",\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n## Initialization\n\nTo use this integration, you must have:\n\n- A running instance of a Llama Stack server (local or remote)\n- A valid model name supported by your selected inference provider\n\nThen initialize the `LlamaStackChatGenerator` by specifying the `model` name or ID. The value depends on the inference provider running on your server.\n\n**Examples:**\n\n- For Ollama: `model=\"ollama/llama3.2:3b\"`\n- For vLLM: `model=\"meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B\"`\n\n**Note:** Switching the inference provider only requires updating the model name.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo start using this integration, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install llama-stack-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_stack import (\n LlamaStackChatGenerator,\n)\n\nclient = LlamaStackChatGenerator(model=\"ollama/llama3.2:3b\")\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines? Be brief.\")])\nprint(response[\"replies\"])\n```\n\n#### With Streaming\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.llama_stack import (\n LlamaStackChatGenerator,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nclient = LlamaStackChatGenerator(\n model=\"ollama/llama3.2:3b\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk,\n)\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines?

\n\n| | | | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Model ID | Input context length | Output context length | Input Modalities | Output Modalities |\n| `Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-FP8` | 128k | 4028 | Text, Image | Text |\n| `Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8` | 128k | 4028 | Text, Image | Text |\n| `Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct` | 128k | 4028 | Text | Text |\n| `Llama-3.3-8B-Instruct` | 128k | 4028 | Text | Text |\n\n
\nThis component uses the same `ChatMessage` format as other Haystack Chat Generators for structured input and output. For more information, see the [ChatMessage documentation](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx).\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`MetaLlamaChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.meta_llama import MetaLlamaChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = MetaLlamaChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Initialization\n\nTo use this integration, you must have a Meta Llama API key. You can provide it with the `LLAMA_API_KEY` environment variable or by using a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\nThen, install the `meta-llama-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install meta-llama-haystack\n```\n\n### Streaming\n\n`MetaLlamaChatGenerator` supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) responses from the LLM, allowing tokens to be emitted as they are generated. To enable streaming, pass a callable to the `streaming_callback` parameter during initialization.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.meta_llama import (\n MetaLlamaChatGenerator,\n)\n\nllm = MetaLlamaChatGenerator()\nresponse = llm.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines? Be brief.\")])\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\nWith streaming and model routing:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.meta_llama import (\n MetaLlamaChatGenerator,\n)\n\nllm = MetaLlamaChatGenerator(\n model=\"Llama-3.3-8B-Instruct\",\n streaming_callback=lambda chunk: print(chunk.content, end=\"\", flush=True),\n)\n\nresponse = llm.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines? Be brief.\")])\n\n## check the model used for the response\nprint(\"\\n\\n Model used: \", response[\"replies\"][0].meta[\"model\"])\n```\n\nWith multimodal inputs:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.meta_llama import (\n MetaLlamaChatGenerator,\n)\n\nllm = MetaLlamaChatGenerator(model=\"Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-FP8\")\n\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\")\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\"What does the image show?

\n\n## Overview\n\nThis integration supports Mistral’s models provided through the generative endpoint. For a full list of available models, check out the [Mistral documentation](https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/endpoints/#generative-endpoints).\n\n`MistralChatGenerator` needs a Mistral API key to work. You can write this key in:\n\n- The `api_key` init parameter using [Secret API](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx)\n- The `MISTRAL_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n\nCurrently, available models are:\n\n- `mistral-tiny` (default)\n- `mistral-small`\n- `mistral-medium`(soon to be deprecated)\n- `mistral-large-latest`\n- `codestral-latest`\n\nThis component needs a list of [`ChatMessage`](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.\n\nRefer to the [Mistral API documentation](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/#operation/createChatCompletion) for more details on the parameters supported by the Mistral API, which you can provide with `generation_kwargs` when running the component.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`MistralChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral import MistralChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = MistralChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `mistral-haystack` package to use the `MistralChatGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install mistral-haystack\n```\n\n#### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral import MistralChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ngenerator = MistralChatGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"MISTRAL_API_KEY\"),\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk,\n)\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing? Be brief.\")\nprint(generator.run([message]))\n```\n\nWith multimodal inputs:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral import MistralChatGenerator\n\nllm = MistralChatGenerator(model=\"pixtral-12b-2409\")\n\nimage = ImageContent.from_file_path(\"apple.jpg\")\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n content_parts=[\"What does the image show? Max 5 words.\", image],\n)\n\nresponse = llm.run([user_message])[\"replies\"][0].text\nprint(response)\n\n# Red apple on straw.\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nBelow is an example RAG Pipeline where we answer questions based on the URL contents. We add the contents of the URL into our `messages` in the `ChatPromptBuilder` and generate an answer with the `MistralChatGenerator`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral import MistralChatGenerator\n\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\nconverter = HTMLToDocument()\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(variables=[\"documents\"])\nllm = MistralChatGenerator(\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk,\n model=\"mistral-small\",\n)\n\nmessage_template = \"\"\"Answer the following question based on the contents of the article: {{query}}\\n\n Article: {{documents[0].content}} \\n\n \"\"\"\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(message_template)]\n\nrag_pipeline = Pipeline()\nrag_pipeline.add_component(name=\"fetcher\", instance=fetcher)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(name=\"converter\", instance=converter)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\n\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"fetcher.streams\", \"converter.sources\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"converter.documents\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nquestion = \"What are the capabilities of Mixtral?\"\n\nresult = rag_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"fetcher\": {\"urls\": [\"https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-of-experts\"]},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"query\": question},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n \"llm\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"max_tokens\": 165}},\n },\n)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Web QA with Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/mixtral-8x7b-for-web-qa)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/nvidiachatgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"NvidiaChatGenerator\"\nid: nvidiachatgenerator\nslug: \"/nvidiachatgenerator\"\ndescription: \"This Generator enables chat completion using NVIDIA-hosted models.\"\n---\n\n# NvidiaChatGenerator\n\nThis Generator enables chat completion using NVIDIA-hosted models.\n\n

You can get your API key from the [NVIDIA API Catalog](https://build.nvidia.com/explore/discover).\n\n`NvidiaGenerator` uses the `NVIDIA_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with the `api_key` parameter:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils.auth import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.nvidia import NvidiaGenerator\n\ngenerator = NvidiaGenerator(\n model=\"meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct\",\n api_url=\"https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1\",\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n model_arguments={\n \"temperature\": 0.2,\n \"top_p\": 0.7,\n \"max_tokens\": 1024,\n },\n)\nresult = generator.run(prompt=\"What is the answer?\")\nprint(result[\"replies\"])\nprint(result[\"meta\"])\n```\n\nTo use a locally deployed model, set the `api_url` to your localhost and set `api_key` to `None`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.nvidia import NvidiaGenerator\n\ngenerator = NvidiaGenerator(\n model=\"meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct\",\n api_url=\"http://localhost:9999/v1\",\n api_key=None,\n model_arguments={\n \"temperature\": 0.2,\n },\n)\nresult = generator.run(prompt=\"What is the answer?\")\nprint(result[\"replies\"])\nprint(result[\"meta\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe following example shows a RAG pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils.auth import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.nvidia import NvidiaGenerator\n\ndocstore = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocstore.write_documents(\n [\n Document(content=\"Rome is the capital of Italy\"),\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France\"),\n ],\n)\n\nquery = \"What is the capital of France?\"\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\nGiven the following information, answer the question.\n\nContext:\n{% for document in documents %}\n {{ document.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}?\n\"\"\"\n\npipe = Pipeline()\n\npipe.add_component(\"retriever\", InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=docstore))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", PromptBuilder(template=template))\npipe.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n NvidiaGenerator(\n model=\"meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct\",\n api_url=\"https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1\",\n api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n model_arguments={\n \"temperature\": 0.2,\n \"top_p\": 0.7,\n \"max_tokens\": 1024,\n },\n ),\n)\npipe.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nres = pipe.run(\n {\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": query},\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query},\n },\n)\n\nprint(res)\n```\n\n## Related\n\n- Cookbook: [Haystack RAG Pipeline with Self-Deployed AI models using NVIDIA NIMs](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/rag-with-nims)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/ollamachatgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OllamaChatGenerator\"\nid: ollamachatgenerator\nslug: \"/ollamachatgenerator\"\ndescription: \"This component enables chat completion using an LLM running on Ollama.\"\n---\n\n# OllamaChatGenerator\n\nThis component enables chat completion using an LLM running on Ollama.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n[Ollama](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama) is a project focused on running LLMs locally. Internally, it uses the quantized GGUF format by default. This means it is possible to run LLMs on standard machines (even without GPUs) without having to handle complex installation procedures.\n\n`OllamaChatGenerator` supports models running on Ollama, such as `llama2` and `mixtral`. Find the full list of supported models [here](https://ollama.ai/library).\n\n`OllamaChatGenerator` needs a `model` name and a `url` to work. By default, it uses `\"orca-mini\"` model and `\"http://localhost:11434\"` url.\n\nThe way to operate with `OllamaChatGenerator` is by using `ChatMessage` objects. [ChatMessage](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata. See the [usage](#usage) section for an example.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`OllamaChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.ollama import OllamaChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = OllamaChatGenerator(\n model=\"llama2\",\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it’s generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure any `Generator` or `ChatGenerator` with a streaming callback\ncomponent = SomeGeneratorOrChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n## If this is a `ChatGenerator`, pass a list of messages:\n## from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n## component.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n\n## If this is a (non-chat) `Generator`, pass a prompt:\n## component.run({\"prompt\": \"Your prompt here\"})\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nGive preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. You need a running instance of Ollama. The installation instructions are [in the Ollama GitHub repository](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama).\n A fast way to run Ollama is using Docker:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama:latest\n```\n\n2. You need to download or pull the desired LLM. The model library is available on the [Ollama website](https://ollama.ai/library).\n If you are using Docker, you can, for example, pull the Zephyr model:\n\n```bash\ndocker exec ollama ollama pull zephyr\n```\n\nIf you already installed Ollama in your system, you can execute:\n\n```bash\nollama pull zephyr\n```\n\n:::tip Choose a specific version of a model\n\nYou can also specify a tag to choose a specific (quantized) version of your model. The available tags are shown in the model card of the Ollama models library. This is an [example](https://ollama.ai/library/zephyr/tags) for Zephyr.\nIn this case, simply run\n\n```shell\n# ollama pull model:tag\nollama pull zephyr:7b-alpha-q3_K_S\n```\n:::\n\n3. You also need to install the `ollama-haystack` package:\n\n```bash\npip install ollama-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.ollama import OllamaChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\ngenerator = OllamaChatGenerator(model=\"zephyr\",\n url = \"http://localhost:11434\",\n generation_kwargs={\n \"num_predict\": 100,\n \"temperature\": 0.9,\n })\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant\"),\nChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\nprint(generator.run(messages=messages))\n>> {\n \"replies\": [\n ChatMessage(\n _role=,\n _content=[\n TextContent(\n text=(\n \"Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of \"\n \"Artificial Intelligence that deals with understanding, \"\n \"interpreting, and generating human language in a meaningful \"\n \"way.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OllamaGenerator` provides an interface to generate text using an LLM running on Ollama.\n\n`OllamaGenerator` needs a `model` name and a `url` to work. By default, it uses `\"orca-mini\"` model and `\"http://localhost:11434\"` url.\n\n[Ollama](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama) is a project focused on running LLMs locally. Internally, it uses the quantized GGUF format by default. This means it is possible to run LLMs on standard machines (even without GPUs) without having to go through complex installation procedures.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. You need a running instance of Ollama. You can find the installation instructions [here](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama).\n A fast way to run Ollama is using Docker:\n\n```shell\ndocker run -d -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama:latest\n```\n\n2.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OpenAIChatGenerator` supports OpenAI models starting from gpt-3.5-turbo and later (gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, and so on).\n\n`OpenAIChatGenerator` needs an OpenAI key to work. It uses an ` OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key`:\n\n```python\ngenerator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\n```\n\nThen, the component needs a list of `ChatMessage` objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata. See the [usage](#usage) section for an example.\n\nYou can pass any chat completion parameters valid for the `openai.ChatCompletion.create` method directly to `OpenAIChatGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method. For more details on the parameters supported by the OpenAI API, refer to the [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat).\n\n`OpenAIChatGenerator` can support custom deployments of your OpenAI models through the `api_base_url` init parameter.\n\n### Structured Output\n\n`OpenAIChatGenerator` supports structured output generation, allowing you to receive responses in a predictable format. You can use Pydantic models or JSON schemas to define the structure of the output through the `response_format` parameter in `generation_kwargs`.\n\nThis is useful when you need to extract structured data from text or generate responses that match a specific format.\n\n```python\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nclass NobelPrizeInfo(BaseModel):\n recipient_name: str\n award_year: int\n category: str\n achievement_description: str\n nationality: str\n\nclient = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4o-2024-08-06\",\n generation_kwargs={\"response_format\": NobelPrizeInfo}\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"In 2021, American scientist David Julius received the Nobel Prize in\"\n \" Physiology or Medicine for his groundbreaking discoveries on how the human body\"\n \" senses temperature and touch.\"\n )\n])\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n>> {\"recipient_name\":\"David Julius\",\"award_year\":2021,\"category\":\"Physiology or Medicine\",\n>> \"achievement_description\":\"David Julius was awarded for his transformative findings\n>> regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying the human body's sense of temperature\n>> and touch. Through innovative experiments, he identified specific receptors responsible\n>> for detecting heat and mechanical stimuli, ranging from gentle touch to pain-inducing\n>> pressure.\",\"nationality\":\"American\"}\n```\n\n:::info Model Compatibility and Limitations\n\n- Pydantic models and JSON schemas are supported for latest models starting from `gpt-4o-2024-08-06`.\n- Older models only support basic JSON mode through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`. For details, see [OpenAI JSON mode documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n- Streaming limitation: When using streaming with structured outputs, you must provide a JSON schema instead of a Pydantic model for `response_format`.\n- For complete information, check the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n:::\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it’s generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure any `Generator` or `ChatGenerator` with a streaming callback\ncomponent = SomeGeneratorOrChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n## If this is a `ChatGenerator`, pass a list of messages:\n## from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n## component.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n\n## If this is a (non-chat) `Generator`, pass a prompt:\n## component.run({\"prompt\": \"Your prompt here\"})\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nGive preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nclient = OpenAIChatGenerator()\nresponse = client.run(\n\t [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OpenAIGenerator` supports OpenAI models starting from gpt-3.5-turbo and later (gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, and so on).\n\n`OpenAIGenerator` needs an OpenAI key to work. It uses an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key`:\n\n```\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"), model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\n```\n\nThen, the component needs a prompt to operate, but you can pass any text generation parameters valid for the `openai.ChatCompletion.create` method directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method.

To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter. Note that streaming the tokens is only compatible with generating a single response, so `n` must be set to 1 for streaming to work.\n\n:::info\nThis component is designed for text generation, not for chat.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` uses OpenAI's Responses API to generate chat completions. It supports gpt-4 and o-series models (reasoning models like o1, o3-mini). The default model is `gpt-5-mini`.\n\nThe Responses API is designed for reasoning-capable models and supports features like reasoning summaries, multi-turn conversations with previous response IDs, and structured outputs.\n\nThe component requires a list of `ChatMessage` objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`), and optional metadata. See the [usage](#usage) section for examples.\n\nYou can pass any parameters valid for the OpenAI Responses API directly to `OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to the `run()` method. For more details on the parameters supported by the OpenAI API, refer to the [OpenAI Responses API documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses).\n\n`OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` can support custom deployments of your OpenAI models through the `api_base_url` init parameter.\n\n### Authentication\n\n`OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` needs an OpenAI key to work. It uses an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an API key at initialization with `api_key` using a [`Secret`](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx):\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ngenerator = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n### Reasoning Support\n\nOne of the key features of the Responses API is support for reasoning models. You can configure reasoning behavior using the `reasoning` parameter in `generation_kwargs`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"medium\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}},\n)\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"What's the most efficient sorting algorithm for nearly sorted data?\",\n ),\n]\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\nThe `reasoning` parameter accepts:\n- `effort`: Level of reasoning effort - `\"low\"`, `\"medium\"`, or `\"high\"`\n- `summary`: How to generate reasoning summaries - `\"auto\"` or `\"generate_summary\": True/False`\n\n:::note\nOpenAI does not return the actual reasoning tokens, but you can view the summary if enabled. For more details, see the [OpenAI Reasoning documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/reasoning).\n:::\n\n### Multi-turn Conversations\n\nThe Responses API supports multi-turn conversations using `previous_response_id`. You can pass the response ID from a previous turn to maintain conversation context:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator()\n\n# First turn\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's quantum computing?\")]\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nresponse_id = response[\"replies\"][0].meta.get(\"id\")\n\n# Second turn - reference previous response\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Can you explain that in simpler terms?\")]\nresponse = client.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"previous_response_id\": response_id})\n```\n\n### Structured Output\n\n`OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` supports structured output generation through the `text_format` and `text` parameters in `generation_kwargs`:\n\n- **`text_format`**: Pass a Pydantic model to define the structure\n- **`text`**: Pass a JSON schema directly\n\n**Using a Pydantic model**:\n\n```python\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nclass BookInfo(BaseModel):\n title: str\n author: str\n year: int\n genre: str\n\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4o\",\n generation_kwargs={\"text_format\": BookInfo},\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(\n messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Extract book information: '1984 by George Orwell, published in 1949, is a dystopian novel.'\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\n**Using a JSON schema**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\njson_schema = {\n \"format\": {\n \"type\": \"json_schema\",\n \"name\": \"BookInfo\",\n \"strict\": True,\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"title\": {\"type\": \"string\"},\n \"author\": {\"type\": \"string\"},\n \"year\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"genre\": {\"type\": \"string\"},\n },\n \"required\": [\"title\", \"author\", \"year\", \"genre\"],\n \"additionalProperties\": False,\n },\n },\n}\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4o\",\n generation_kwargs={\"text\": json_schema},\n)\n\nresponse = client.run(\n messages=[\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Extract book information: '1984 by George Orwell, published in 1949, is a dystopian novel.'\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\n:::info Model Compatibility and Limitations\n- Both Pydantic models and JSON schemas are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n- If both `text_format` and `text` are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and the JSON schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n- Streaming is not supported when using structured outputs.\n- Older models only support basic JSON mode through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`. For details, see [OpenAI JSON mode documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n- For complete information, check the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n:::\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter. It accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **Haystack Tool objects and Toolsets**: Pass Haystack `Tool` objects or `Toolset` objects, including mixed lists of both\n- **OpenAI/MCP tool definitions**: Pass pre-defined OpenAI or MCP tool definitions as dictionaries\n\nNote that you cannot mix Haystack tools and OpenAI/MCP tools in the same call - choose one format or the other.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\ndef get_weather(city: str) -> str:\n \"\"\"Get weather information for a city.\"\"\"\n return f\"Weather in {city}: Sunny, 22°C\"\n\n\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"get_weather\",\n description=\"Get current weather for a city\",\n function=get_weather,\n parameters={\"type\": \"object\", \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}}},\n)\n\ngenerator = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(tools=[weather_tool])\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather in Paris?\")]\nresponse = generator.run(messages)\n```\n\nYou can control strict schema adherence with the `tools_strict` parameter. When set to `True` (default is `False`), the model will follow the tool schema exactly. Note that the Responses API has its own strictness enforcement mechanisms independent of this parameter.\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\nYou can stream output as it's generated. Pass a callback to `streaming_callback`. Use the built-in `print_streaming_chunk` to print text tokens and tool events (tool calls and tool results).\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\n## Configure any `Generator` or `ChatGenerator` with a streaming callback\ncomponent = SomeGeneratorOrChatGenerator(streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\n\n## If this is a `ChatGenerator`, pass a list of messages:\n## from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n## component.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"Your question here\")])\n\n## If this is a (non-chat) `Generator`, pass a prompt:\n## component.run({\"prompt\": \"Your prompt here\"})\n```\n\n:::info\nStreaming works only with a single response. If a provider supports multiple candidates, set `n=1`.\n:::\n\nSee our [Streaming Support](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) docs to learn more how `StreamingChunk` works and how to write a custom callback.\n\nGive preference to `print_streaming_chunk` by default. Write a custom callback only if you need a specific transport (for example, SSE/WebSocket) or custom UI formatting.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is an example of using `OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` independently with reasoning and streaming:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk,\n generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"high\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}},\n)\nresponse = client.run(\n [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Solve this logic puzzle: If all roses are flowers and some flowers fade quickly, can we conclude that some roses fade quickly?\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].reasoning) # Access reasoning summary if available\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThis example shows a pipeline that uses `ChatPromptBuilder` to create dynamic prompts and `OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator` with reasoning enabled to generate explanations of complex topics:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder()\nllm = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(\n generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"low\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}},\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\ntopic = \"quantum computing\"\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"You are a helpful assistant that explains complex topics clearly.\",\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Explain {{topic}} in simple terms\"),\n]\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"topic\": topic},\n \"template\": messages,\n },\n },\n)\n\nprint(result)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/openrouterchatgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenRouterChatGenerator\"\nid: openrouterchatgenerator\nslug: \"/openrouterchatgenerator\"\ndescription: \"This component enables chat completion with any model hosted on [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/).\"\n---\n\n# OpenRouterChatGenerator\n\nThis component enables chat completion with any model hosted on [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/).\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `OpenRouterChatGenerator` enables you to use models from multiple providers (such as `openai/gpt-4o`, `anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet`, and others) by making chat completion calls to the [OpenRouter API](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n\nThis generator also supports OpenRouter-specific features such as:\n\n- Provider routing and model fallback that are configurable with the `generation_kwargs` parameter during initialization or runtime.\n- Custom HTTP headers that can be supplied using the `extra_headers` parameter.\n\nThis component uses the same `ChatMessage` format as other Haystack Chat Generators for structured input and output. For more information, see the [ChatMessage documentation](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx).\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`OpenRouterChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.openrouter import OpenRouterChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = OpenRouterChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Initialization\n\nTo use this integration, you must have an active OpenRouter subscription with sufficient credits and an API key. You can provide it with the `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` environment variable or by using a [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\nThen, install the `openrouter-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install openrouter-haystack\n```\n\n### Streaming\n\n`OpenRouterChatGenerator` supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) responses from the LLM, allowing tokens to be emitted as they are generated. To enable streaming, pass a callable to the `streaming_callback` parameter during initialization.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.openrouter import (\n OpenRouterChatGenerator,\n)\n\nclient = OpenRouterChatGenerator()\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines?

\n\n`SagemakerGenerator` allows you to make use of models deployed on [AWS SageMaker](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/whatis.html).\n\n## Parameters Overview\n\n`SagemakerGenerator` needs AWS credentials to work. Set the `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables.\n\nYou also need to specify your Sagemaker endpoint at initialization time for the component to work. Pass the endpoint name to the `model` parameter like this:\n\n```python\ngenerator = SagemakerGenerator(model=\"jumpstart-dft-hf-llm-falcon-7b-instruct-bf16\")\n```\n\nAdditionally, you can pass any text generation parameters valid for your specific model directly to `SagemakerGenerator` using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method.\n\nIf your model also needs custom attributes, pass those as a dictionary at initialization time by setting the `aws_custom_attributes` parameter.\n\nOne notable family of models that needs these custom parameters is Llama2, which needs to be initialized with `{\"accept_eula\": True}` :\n\n```python\ngenerator = SagemakerGenerator(\n model=\"jumpstart-dft-meta-textgenerationneuron-llama-2-7b\",\n aws_custom_attributes={\"accept_eula\": True},\n)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need to install `amazon-sagemaker-haystack` package to use the `SagemakerGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install amazon-sagemaker-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_sagemaker import SagemakerGenerator\n\nclient = SagemakerGenerator(model=\"jumpstart-dft-hf-llm-falcon-7b-instruct-bf16\")\nresponse = client.run(\"Briefly explain what NLP is in one sentence.\")\nprint(response)\n\n>>> {'replies': [\"Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics that focuses on the interaction between computers and human languages...\"],\n 'metadata': [{}]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn a RAG pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_sagemaker import (\n SagemakerGenerator,\n)\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\nGiven the following information, answer the question.\n\nContext:\n{% for document in documents %}\n {{ document.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: What's the official language of {{ country }}?\n\"\"\"\npipe = Pipeline()\n\npipe.add_component(\"retriever\", InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=docstore))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", PromptBuilder(template=template))\npipe.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n SagemakerGenerator(model=\"jumpstart-dft-hf-llm-falcon-7b-instruct-bf16\"),\n)\npipe.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\npipe.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"country\": \"France\"}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators/stackitchatgenerator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"STACKITChatGenerator\"\nid: stackitchatgenerator\nslug: \"/stackitchatgenerator\"\ndescription: \"This component enables chat completions using the STACKIT API.\"\n---\n\n# STACKITChatGenerator\n\nThis component enables chat completions using the STACKIT API.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`STACKITChatGenerator` enables text generation models served by STACKIT through their API.\n\n### Parameters\n\nTo use the `STACKITChatGenerator`, ensure you have set a `STACKIT_API_KEY` as an environment variable. Alternatively, provide the API key as another environment variable or a token by setting\n`api_key` and using Haystack’s [secret management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\nSet your preferred supported model with the `model` parameter when initializing the component. See the full list of all supported models on the [STACKIT website](https://docs.stackit.cloud/stackit/en/models-licenses-319914532.html).\n\nOptionally, you can change the default `api_base_url`, which is `\"https://api.openai-compat.model-serving.eu01.onstackit.cloud/v1\"`.\n\nYou can pass any text generation parameters valid for the STACKIT Chat Completion API directly to this component with the `generation_kwargs` parameter in the init or run methods.\n\nThe component needs a list of `ChatMessage` objects to run. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`TogetherAIChatGenerator` supports models hosted on [Together AI](https://docs.together.ai/intro), such as `meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo`. For the full list of supported models, see [Together AI documentation](https://docs.together.ai/docs/chat-models).\n\nThis component needs a list of [`ChatMessage`](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) objects to operate. `ChatMessage` is a data class that contains a message, a role (who generated the message, such as `user`, `assistant`, `system`, `function`), and optional metadata.\n\nYou can pass any text generation parameters valid for the Together AI chat completion API directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter in `__init__` or the `generation_kwargs` parameter in `run` method. For more details on the parameters supported by the Together AI API, see [Together AI API documentation](https://docs.together.ai/reference/chat-completions-1).\n\nTo use this integration, you need to have an active TogetherAI subscription with sufficient credits and an API key. You can provide it with:\n\n- The `TOGETHER_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n- The `api_key` init parameter and Haystack [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) API: `Secret.from_token(\"your-api-key-here\")`\n\nBy default, the component uses Together AI's OpenAI-compatible base URL `https://api.together.xyz/v1`, which you can override with `api_base_url` if needed.\n\n### Tool Support\n\n`TogetherAIChatGenerator` supports function calling through the `tools` parameter, which accepts flexible tool configurations:\n\n- **A list of Tool objects**: Pass individual tools as a list\n- **A single Toolset**: Pass an entire Toolset directly\n- **Mixed Tools and Toolsets**: Combine multiple Toolsets with standalone tools in a single list\n\nThis allows you to organize related tools into logical groups while also including standalone tools as needed.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.togetherai import TogetherAIChatGenerator\n\n# Create individual tools\nweather_tool = Tool(name=\"weather\", description=\"Get weather info\", ...)\nnews_tool = Tool(name=\"news\", description=\"Get latest news\", ...)\n\n# Group related tools into a toolset\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool, multiply_tool])\n\n# Pass mixed tools and toolsets to the generator\ngenerator = TogetherAIChatGenerator(\n tools=[math_toolset, weather_tool, news_tool] # Mix of Toolset and Tool objects\n)\n```\n\nFor more details on working with tools, see the [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) and [Toolset](../../tools/toolset.mdx) documentation.\n\n### Streaming\n\n`TogetherAIChatGenerator` supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) responses from the LLM, allowing tokens to be emitted as they are generated. To enable streaming, pass a callable to the `streaming_callback` parameter during initialization.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `togetherai-haystack` package to use the `TogetherAIChatGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install togetherai-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.togetherai import (\n TogetherAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\nclient = TogetherAIChatGenerator()\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines? Be brief.\")])\nprint(response[\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\nWith streaming:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.togetherai import (\n TogetherAIChatGenerator,\n)\n\nclient = TogetherAIChatGenerator(\n model=\"meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo\",\n streaming_callback=lambda chunk: print(chunk.content, end=\"\", flush=True),\n)\n\nresponse = client.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What are Agentic Pipelines?

For more details on the parameters supported by the Together AI API, see [Together AI API documentation](https://docs.together.ai/reference/chat-completions-1).\n\nYou can also provide an optional `system_prompt` to set context or instructions for text generation. If not provided, the system prompt is omitted, and the default system prompt of the model is used.\n\nTo use this integration, you need to have an active TogetherAI subscription with sufficient credits and an API key. You can provide it with:\n\n- The `TOGETHER_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n- The `api_key` init parameter and Haystack [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) API: `Secret.from_token(\"your-api-key-here\")`\n\nBy default, the component uses Together AI's OpenAI-compatible base URL `https://api.together.xyz/v1`, which you can override with `api_base_url` if needed.\n\n### Streaming\n\n`TogetherAIGenerator` supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) responses from the LLM, allowing tokens to be emitted as they are generated.

To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou should install `google-vertex-haystack` package to use the `VertexAIGeminiGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install google-vertex-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nBasic usage:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_vertex import VertexAIGeminiGenerator\n\ngemini = VertexAIGeminiGenerator()\nresult = gemini.run(parts = [\"What is the most interesting thing you know?\"])\nfor answer in result[\"replies\"]:\n print(answer)\n\n>>> 1. **The Origin of Life:** How and where did life begin? The answers to this question are still shrouded in mystery, but scientists continuously uncover new insights into the remarkable story of our planet's earliest forms of life.\n>>> 2. **The Unseen Universe:** The vast majority of the universe is comprised of matter and energy that we cannot directly observe. Dark matter and dark energy make up over 95% of the universe, yet we still don't fully understand their properties or how they influence the cosmos.\n>>> 3. **Quantum Entanglement:** This eerie phenomenon in quantum mechanics allows two particles to become so intertwined that they share the same fate, regardless of how far apart they are. This has mind-bending implications for our understanding of reality and could potentially lead to advancements in communication and computing.\n>>> 4. **Time Dilation:** Einstein's theory of relativity revealed that time can pass at different rates for different observers. Astronauts traveling at high speeds, for example, experience time dilation relative to people on Earth. This phenomenon could have significant implications for future space travel.\n>>> 5. **The Fermi Paradox:** Despite the vastness of the universe and the abundance of potential life-supporting planets, we have yet to find any concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life. This contradiction between scientific expectations and observational reality is known as the Fermi Paradox and remains one of the most intriguing mysteries in modern science.\n>>> 6. **Biological Evolution:** The idea that life evolves over time through natural selection is one of the most profound and transformative scientific discoveries. It explains the diversity of life on Earth and provides insights into our own origins and the interconnectedness of all living things.\n>>> 7. **Neuroplasticity:** The brain's ability to adapt and change throughout life, known as neuroplasticity, is a remarkable phenomenon that has important implications for learning, memory, and recovery from brain injuries.\n>>> 8. **The Goldilocks Zone:** The concept of the habitable zone, or the Goldilocks zone, refers to the range of distances from a star within which liquid water can exist on a planet's surface. This zone is critical for the potential existence of life as we know it and has been used to guide the search for exoplanets that could support life.\n>>> 9. **String Theory:** This theoretical framework in physics aims to unify all the fundamental forces of nature into a single coherent theory. It suggests that the universe has extra dimensions beyond the familiar three spatial dimensions and time.\n>>> 10. **Consciousness:** The nature of human consciousness and how it arises from the brain's physical processes remain one of the most profound and elusive mysteries in science. Understanding consciousness is crucial for unraveling the complexities of the human mind and our place in the universe.\n```\n\nAdvanced usage, multi-modal prompting:\n\n```python\nimport requests\nfrom haystack.dataclasses.byte_stream import ByteStream\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_vertex import VertexAIGeminiGenerator\n\nURLS = [\n \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silvanocerza/robots/main/robot1.jpg\",\n \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silvanocerza/robots/main/robot2.jpg\",\n \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silvanocerza/robots/main/robot3.jpg\",\n \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silvanocerza/robots/main/robot4.jpg\"\n]\nimages = [\n ByteStream(data=requests.get(url).content, mime_type=\"image/jpeg\")\n for url in URLS\n]\n\ngemini = VertexAIGeminiGenerator()\nresult = gemini.run(parts = [\"What can you tell me about this robots?\", *images])\nfor answer in result[\"replies\"]:\n print(answer)\n>>> The first image is of C-3PO and R2-D2 from the Star Wars franchise.

These models provide high-quality text generation capabilities through IBM's cloud platform. Check out the most recent full list in the [IBM watsonx.ai documentation](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/analyze-data/fm-models-ibm.html?context=wx).\n\n### Parameters\n\n`WatsonxGenerator` needs IBM Cloud credentials to work. You can provide these in:\n\n- The `WATSONX_API_KEY` environment variable (recommended)\n- The `WATSONX_PROJECT_ID` environment variable (recommended)\n- The `api_key` and `project_id` init parameters using Haystack [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) API: `Secret.from_token(\"your-api-key-here\")`\n\nSet your preferred IBM watsonx.ai model in the `model` parameter when initializing the component. The default model is `ibm/granite-3-2b-instruct`.\n\n`WatsonxGenerator` requires a prompt to generate text, but you can pass any text generation parameters available in the IBM watsonx.ai API directly to this component using the `generation_kwargs` parameter, both at initialization and to `run()` method. For more details on the parameters supported by the IBM watsonx.ai API, see [IBM watsonx.ai documentation](https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/watsonx-ai).\n\nThe component also supports system prompts that can be set at initialization or passed during runtime to provide context or instructions for the generation.\n\nFinally, the component run method requires a single string prompt to generate text.\n\n### Streaming\n\nThis Generator supports [streaming](guides-to-generators/choosing-the-right-generator.mdx#streaming-support) the tokens from the LLM directly in output. To do so, pass a function to the `streaming_callback` init parameter.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the `watsonx-haystack` package to use the `WatsonxGenerator`:\n\n```shell\npip install watsonx-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.watsonx.generator import (\n WatsonxGenerator,\n)\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ngenerator = WatsonxGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"WATSONX_API_KEY\"),\n project_id=Secret.from_env_var(\"WATSONX_PROJECT_ID\"),\n)\n\nprint(generator.run(\"What's Natural Language Processing? Be brief.\"))\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can also use `WatsonxGenerator` with the IBM watsonx.ai models in your pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.watsonx.generator import (\n WatsonxGenerator,\n)\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ntemplate = \"\"\"\nYou are an assistant giving out valuable information to language learners.\nAnswer this question, be brief.\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}?\n\"\"\"\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", PromptBuilder(template))\npipe.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n WatsonxGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"WATSONX_API_KEY\"),\n project_id=Secret.from_env_var(\"WATSONX_PROJECT_ID\"),\n ),\n)\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquery = \"What language is spoken in Germany?\"\nres = pipe.run(data={\"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": query}})\n\nprint(res)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/generators.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Generators\"\nid: generators\nslug: \"/generators\"\ndescription: \"Generators are responsible for generating text after you give them a prompt.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`BranchJoiner` joins multiple branches in a pipeline, allowing their outputs to be reconciled into a single branch. This is especially useful in pipelines with multiple branches that need to be unified before moving to the single component that comes next.\n\n`BranchJoiner` receives multiple data connections of the same type from other components and passes the first value it receives to its single output. This makes it essential for closing loops in pipelines or reconciling multiple branches from a decision component.\n\n`BranchJoiner` can handle only one input of one data type, declared in the `__init__` function. It ensures that the data type remains consistent across the pipeline branches. If more than one value is received for the input when `run` is invoked, the component will raise an error:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\n\nbj = BranchJoiner(int)\nbj.run(value=[3, 4, 5])\n\n>>> ValueError: BranchJoiner expects only one input, but 3 were received.\n\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nAlthough only one input value is allowed at every run, due to its variadic nature `BranchJoiner` still expects a list. As an example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\n\n## an example where input and output are strings\nbj = BranchJoiner(str)\nbj.run(value=[\"hello\"])\n>>> {\"value\" : \"hello\"}\n\n## an example where input and output are integers\nbj = BranchJoiner(int)\nbj.run(value=[3])\n>>> {\"value\": 3}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n#### Enabling loops\n\nBelow is an example where `BranchJoiner` is used for closing a loop. In this example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped-back list of `ChatMessage` objects from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and sends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation.\n\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"],\n },\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"],\n}\n\n## Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n## Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component(\"joiner\", BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component(\"fc_llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4.1-mini\"))\npipe.add_component(\"validator\", JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\n\n## Connect components\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"fc_llm\")\npipe.connect(\"fc_llm.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"fc_llm\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"joiner\": {\n \"value\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json object from Peter Parker\")],\n },\n },\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n## Output:\n## {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n## 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\n
\n\nExpand to see the pipeline graph\n\n\n
\n\n#### Reconciling branches\n\nIn this example, the `TextLanguageRouter` component directs the query to one of three language-specific Retrievers. The next component would be a `PromptBuilder`, but we cannot connect multiple Retrievers to a single `PromptBuilder` directly. Instead, we connect all the Retrievers to the `BranchJoiner` component. The `BranchJoiner` then takes the output from the Retriever that was actually called and passes it as a single list of documents to the `PromptBuilder`. The `BranchJoiner` ensures that the pipeline can handle multiple languages seamlessly by consolidating different outputs from the Retrievers into a unified connection for further processing.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers import TextLanguageRouter\n\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\nAnswer the question based on the given reviews.\nReviews:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\nQuestion: {{ query}}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n content=\"Super appartement.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentJoiner` joins input lists of documents from multiple connections and outputs them as one list. You can choose how you want the lists to be joined by specifying the `join_mode`. There are three options available:\n\n- `concatenate` - Combines document from multiple components, discarding any duplicates. documents get their scores from the last component in the pipeline that assigns scores. This mode doesn’t influence document scores.\n- `merge` - Merges the scores of duplicate documents coming from multiple components. You can also assign a weight to the scores to influence how they’re merged and set the top_k limit to specify how many documents you want `DocumentJoiner` to return.\n- `reciprocal_rank_fusion`- Combines documents into a single list based on their ranking received from multiple components. It then calculates a new score based on the ranks of documents in the input lists. If the same Document appears in more than one list (was returned by multiple components), it gets a higher score.\n- `distribution_based_rank_fusion` – Combines rankings from multiple sources into a single, unified ranking. It analyzes how scores are spread out and normalizes them, ensuring that each component's scoring method is taken into account. This normalization helps to balance the influence of each component, resulting in a more robust and fair combined ranking. If a document appears in multiple lists, its final score is adjusted based on the distribution of scores from all lists.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where we are using the `DocumentJoiner` to merge two lists of documents. We run the `DocumentJoiner` and provide the documents. It returns a list of documents ranked by combined scores. By default, equal weight is given to each Retriever score. You could also use custom weights by setting the weights parameter to a list of floats with one weight per input component.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.joiners.document_joiner import DocumentJoiner\n\ndocs_1 = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\", score=0.5),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\", score=0.4),\n]\ndocs_2 = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\", score=0.6),\n Document(content=\"Rome is the capital of Italy.\", score=0.5),\n]\n\njoiner = DocumentJoiner(join_mode=\"merge\")\n\njoiner.run(documents=[docs_1, docs_2])\n\n## {'documents': [Document(id=0f5beda04153dbfc462c8b31f8536749e43654709ecf0cfe22c6d009c9912214, content: 'Paris is the capital of France.', score: 0.55), Document(id=424beed8b549a359239ab000f33ca3b1ddb0f30a988bbef2a46597b9c27e42f2, content: 'Rome is the capital of Italy.', score: 0.25), Document(id=312b465e77e25c11512ee76ae699ce2eb201f34c8c51384003bb367e24fb6cf8, content: 'Berlin is the capital of Germany.', score: 0.2)]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n#### Hybrid Retrieval\n\nBelow is an example of a hybrid retrieval pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`) and embedding search (using `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`). It then uses the `DocumentJoiner` with its default join mode to concatenate the retrieved documents into one list. The Document Store must contain documents with embeddings, otherwise the `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever` will not return any documents.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.joiners.document_joiner import DocumentJoiner\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import (\n InMemoryBM25Retriever,\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(\n instance=InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store),\n name=\"bm25_retriever\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n ),\n name=\"text_embedder\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n name=\"embedding_retriever\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentJoiner(), name=\"joiner\")\np.connect(\"bm25_retriever\", \"joiner\")\np.connect(\"embedding_retriever\", \"joiner\")\np.connect(\"text_embedder\", \"embedding_retriever\")\nquery = \"What is the capital of France?\"\np.run(data={\"bm25_retriever\": {\"query\": query}, \"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n```\n\n#### Indexing\n\nHere's an example of an indexing pipeline that uses `DocumentJoiner` to compile all files into a single list of documents that can be fed through the rest of the indexing pipeline as one.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.converters import (\n MarkdownToDocument,\n PyPDFToDocument,\n TextFileToDocument,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter, DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import DocumentJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\nfile_type_router = FileTypeRouter(\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\", \"text/markdown\"],\n)\ntext_file_converter = TextFileToDocument()\nmarkdown_converter = MarkdownToDocument()\npdf_converter = PyPDFToDocument()\ndocument_joiner = DocumentJoiner()\n\ndocument_cleaner = DocumentCleaner()\ndocument_splitter = DocumentSplitter(\n split_by=\"word\",\n split_length=150,\n split_overlap=50,\n)\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n)\ndocument_writer = DocumentWriter(document_store)\n\npreprocessing_pipeline = Pipeline()\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(instance=file_type_router, name=\"file_type_router\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=text_file_converter,\n name=\"text_file_converter\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=markdown_converter,\n name=\"markdown_converter\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(instance=pdf_converter, name=\"pypdf_converter\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(instance=document_joiner, name=\"document_joiner\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(instance=document_cleaner, name=\"document_cleaner\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=document_splitter,\n name=\"document_splitter\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=document_embedder,\n name=\"document_embedder\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.add_component(instance=document_writer, name=\"document_writer\")\n\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\n \"file_type_router.text/plain\",\n \"text_file_converter.sources\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\n \"file_type_router.application/pdf\",\n \"pypdf_converter.sources\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\n \"file_type_router.text/markdown\",\n \"markdown_converter.sources\",\n)\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"text_file_converter\", \"document_joiner\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"pypdf_converter\", \"document_joiner\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"markdown_converter\", \"document_joiner\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"document_joiner\", \"document_cleaner\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"document_cleaner\", \"document_splitter\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"document_splitter\", \"document_embedder\")\npreprocessing_pipeline.connect(\"document_embedder\", \"document_writer\")\n\npreprocessing_pipeline.run(\n {\"file_type_router\": {\"sources\": list(Path(output_dir).glob(\"**/*\"))}},\n)\n```\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `ListJoiner` component combines multiple lists into one list. It is useful for combining multiple lists from different pipeline components, merging LLM responses, handling multi-step data processing, and gathering data from different sources into one list.\n\nThe items stay in order based on when each input list was processed in a pipeline.\n\nYou can optionally specify a `list_type_` parameter to set the expected type of the lists being joined (for example, `List[ChatMessage]`). If not set, `ListJoiner` will accept lists containing mixed data types.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import ListJoiner\n\nlist1 = [\"Hello\", \"world\"]\nlist2 = [\"This\", \"is\", \"Haystack\"]\nlist3 = [\"ListJoiner\", \"Example\"]\n\njoiner = ListJoiner()\n\nresult = joiner.run(values=[list1, list2, list3])\n\nprint(result[\"values\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import ListJoiner\nfrom typing import List\n\nuser_message = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Give a brief answer the following question: {{query}}\"),\n]\n\nfeedback_prompt = \"\"\"\n You are given a question and an answer.\n Your task is to provide a score and a brief feedback on the answer.\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer: {{response}}\n \"\"\"\nfeedback_message = [ChatMessage.from_system(feedback_prompt)]\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=user_message)\nfeedback_prompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=feedback_message)\nllm = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\nfeedback_llm = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\npipe.add_component(\"feedback_prompt_builder\", feedback_prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"feedback_llm\", feedback_llm)\npipe.add_component(\"list_joiner\", ListJoiner(List[ChatMessage]))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"list_joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"list_joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"feedback_prompt_builder.response\")\npipe.connect(\"feedback_prompt_builder.prompt\", \"feedback_llm.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"feedback_llm.replies\", \"list_joiner\")\n\nquery = \"What is nuclear physics?\"\nans = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"template_variables\": {\"query\": query}},\n \"feedback_prompt_builder\": {\"template_variables\": {\"query\": query}},\n },\n)\n\nprint(ans[\"list_joiner\"][\"values\"])\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/joiners/stringjoiner.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"StringJoiner\"\nid: stringjoiner\nslug: \"/stringjoiner\"\ndescription: \"Component to join strings from different components into a list of strings.\"\n---\n\n# StringJoiner\n\nComponent to join strings from different components into a list of strings.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`ChineseDocumentSplitter` is a specialized document splitter designed specifically for Chinese text processing. Unlike English text where words are separated by spaces, Chinese text is written continuously without spaces between words.\n\nThis component leverages HanLP (Han Language Processing) to provide accurate Chinese word segmentation and sentence tokenization. It supports two granularity levels:\n\n- **Coarse granularity**: Provides broader word segmentation suitable for most general use cases. Uses `COARSE_ELECTRA_SMALL_ZH` model for general-purpose segmentation.\n- **Fine granularity**: Offers more detailed word segmentation for specialized applications. Uses `FINE_ELECTRA_SMALL_ZH` model for detailed segmentation.\n\nThe splitter can divide documents by various units:\n\n- `word`: Splits by Chinese words (multi-character tokens)\n- `sentence`: Splits by sentences using HanLP sentence tokenizer\n- `passage`: Splits by double line breaks (\"\\\\n\\\\n\")\n- `page`: Splits by form feed characters (\"\\\\f\")\n- `line`: Splits by single line breaks (\"\\\\n\")\n- `period`: Splits by periods (\".\")\n- `function`: Uses a custom splitting function\n\nEach extracted chunk retains metadata from the original document and includes additional fields:\n\n- `source_id`: The ID of the original document\n- `page_number`: The page number the chunk belongs to\n- `split_id`: The sequential ID of the split within the document\n- `split_idx_start`: The starting index of the chunk in the original document\n\nWhen `respect_sentence_boundary=True` is set, the component uses HanLP's sentence tokenizer (`UD_CTB_EOS_MUL`) to ensure that splits occur only between complete sentences, preserving the semantic integrity of the text.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use `ChineseDocumentSplitter` outside of a pipeline to process Chinese documents directly:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.hanlp import ChineseDocumentSplitter\n\n## Initialize the splitter with word-based splitting\nsplitter = ChineseDocumentSplitter(\n split_by=\"word\",\n split_length=10,\n split_overlap=3,\n granularity=\"coarse\",\n)\n\n## Create a Chinese document\ndoc = Document(\n content=\"这是第一句话，这是第二句话，这是第三句话。这是第四句话，这是第五句话，这是第六句话！\",\n)\n\n## Split the document\nresult = splitter.run(documents=[doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"]) # List of split documents\n```\n\n### With sentence boundary respect\n\nWhen splitting by words, you can ensure that sentence boundaries are respected:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.hanlp import ChineseDocumentSplitter\n\ndoc = Document(\n content=\"这是第一句话，这是第二句话，这是第三句话。\"\n \"这是第四句话，这是第五句话，这是第六句话！\"\n \"这是第七句话，这是第八句话，这是第九句话？\",\n)\n\nsplitter = ChineseDocumentSplitter(\n split_by=\"word\",\n split_length=10,\n split_overlap=3,\n respect_sentence_boundary=True,\n granularity=\"coarse\",\n)\nresult = splitter.run(documents=[doc])\n\n## Each chunk will end with a complete sentence\nfor doc in result[\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"Chunk: {doc.content}\")\n print(f\"Ends with sentence: {doc.content.endswith(('。', '！', '？'))}\")\n```\n\n### With fine granularity\n\nFor more detailed word segmentation:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.hanlp import ChineseDocumentSplitter\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"人工智能技术正在快速发展，改变着我们的生活方式。\")\n\nsplitter = ChineseDocumentSplitter(\n split_by=\"word\",\n split_length=5,\n split_overlap=0,\n granularity=\"fine\", # More detailed segmentation\n)\nresult = splitter.run(documents=[doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n### With custom splitting function\n\nYou can also use a custom function for splitting:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.hanlp import ChineseDocumentSplitter\n\n\ndef custom_split(text: str) -> list[str]:\n \"\"\"Custom splitting function that splits by commas\"\"\"\n return text.split(\"，\")\n\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"第一段，第二段，第三段，第四段\")\n\nsplitter = ChineseDocumentSplitter(split_by=\"function\", splitting_function=custom_split)\nsplitter.warm_up()\nresult = splitter.run(documents=[doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's how you can integrate `ChineseDocumentSplitter` into a Haystack indexing pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters.txt import TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.hanlp import ChineseDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\n## Initialize components\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name=\"text_file_converter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentCleaner(), name=\"cleaner\")\np.add_component(\n instance=ChineseDocumentSplitter(\n split_by=\"word\",\n split_length=100,\n split_overlap=20,\n respect_sentence_boundary=True,\n granularity=\"coarse\",\n ),\n name=\"chinese_splitter\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\n\n## Connect components\np.connect(\"text_file_converter.documents\", \"cleaner.documents\")\np.connect(\"cleaner.documents\", \"chinese_splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"chinese_splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\n## Run pipeline with Chinese text files\np.run({\"text_file_converter\": {\"sources\": [\"path/to/your/chinese/files.txt\"]}})\n```\n\nThis pipeline processes Chinese text files by converting them to documents, cleaning the text, splitting them into linguistically-aware chunks using Chinese word segmentation, and storing the results in the Document Store for further retrieval and processing.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/preprocessors/csvdocumentcleaner.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CSVDocumentCleaner\"\nid: csvdocumentcleaner\nslug: \"/csvdocumentcleaner\"\ndescription: \"Use `CSVDocumentCleaner` to clean CSV documents by removing empty rows and columns while preserving specific ignored rows and columns.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CSVDocumentCleaner` expects a list of `Document` objects as input, each containing CSV-formatted content as text. It cleans the data by removing fully empty rows and columns while allowing users to specify the number of rows and columns to be preserved before cleaning.\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `ignore_rows`: Number of rows to ignore from the top of the CSV table before processing. If any columns are removed, the same columns will be dropped from the ignored rows.\n- `ignore_columns`: Number of columns to ignore from the left of the CSV table before processing. If any rows are removed, the same rows will be dropped from the ignored columns.\n- `remove_empty_rows`: Whether to remove entirely empty rows.\n- `remove_empty_columns`: Whether to remove entirely empty columns.\n- `keep_id`: Whether to retain the original document ID in the output document.\n\n### Cleaning Process\n\nThe `CSVDocumentCleaner` algorithm follows these steps:\n\n1. Reads each document's content as a CSV table using pandas.\n2. Retains the specified number of `ignore_rows` from the top and `ignore_columns` from the left.\n3. Drops any rows and columns that are entirely empty (contain only NaN values).\n4. If columns are dropped, they are also removed from ignored rows.\n5. If rows are dropped, they are also removed from ignored columns.\n6. Reattaches the remaining ignored rows and columns to maintain their original positions.\n7. Returns the cleaned CSV content as a new `Document` object.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use `CSVDocumentCleaner` independently to clean up CSV documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import CSVDocumentCleaner\n\ncleaner = CSVDocumentCleaner(ignore_rows=1, ignore_columns=0)\n\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"\"\"col1,col2,col3\\n,,\\na,b,c\\n,,\"\"\")]\ncleaned_docs = cleaner.run(documents=documents)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters import XLSXToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import CSVDocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=XLSXToDocument(), name=\"xlsx_file_converter\")\np.add_component(\n instance=CSVDocumentCleaner(ignore_rows=1, ignore_columns=1),\n name=\"csv_cleaner\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\n\np.connect(\"xlsx_file_converter.documents\", \"csv_cleaner.documents\")\np.connect(\"csv_cleaner.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\np.run({\"xlsx_file_converter\": {\"sources\": [Path(\"your_xlsx_file.xlsx\")]}})\n```\n\nThis ensures that CSV documents are properly cleaned before further processing or storage.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/preprocessors/csvdocumentsplitter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CSVDocumentSplitter\"\nid: csvdocumentsplitter\nslug: \"/csvdocumentsplitter\"\ndescription: \"`CSVDocumentSplitter` divides CSV documents into smaller sub-tables based on split arguments.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CSVDocumentSplitter` expects a list of documents containing CSV-formatted content and returns a list of new `Document` objects, each representing a sub-table extracted from the original document.\n\nThere are two modes of operation for the splitter:\n\n1. `threshold` (Default): Identifies empty rows or columns exceeding a given threshold and splits the document accordingly.\n2. `row-wise`: Splits each row into a separate document, treating each as an independent sub-table.\n\nThe splitting process follows these rules:\n\n1. **Row-Based Splitting**: If `row_split_threshold` is set, consecutive empty rows equalling or exceeding this threshold trigger a split.\n2. **Column-Based Splitting**: If `column_split_threshold` is set, consecutive empty columns equalling or exceeding this threshold trigger a split.\n3. **Recursive Splitting**: If both thresholds are provided, `CSVDocumentSplitter` first splits by rows and then by columns. If more empty rows are detected, the splitting process is called again. This ensures that sub-tables are fully separated.\n\nEach extracted sub-table retains metadata from the original document and includes additional fields:\n\n- `source_id`: The ID of the original document\n- `row_idx_start`: The starting row index of the sub-table in the original document\n- `col_idx_start`: The starting column index of the sub-table in the original document\n- `split_id`: The sequential ID of the split within the document\n\nThis component is especially useful for document processing pipelines that require structured data to be extracted and stored efficiently.\n\n### Supported Document Stores\n\n`CSVDocumentSplitter` is compatible with the following Document Stores:\n\n- [AstraDocumentStore](../../document-stores/astradocumentstore.mdx)\n- [ChromaDocumentStore](../../document-stores/chromadocumentstore.mdx)\n- [ElasticsearchDocumentStore](../../document-stores/elasticsearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [OpenSearchDocumentStore](../../document-stores/opensearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [PgvectorDocumentStore](../../document-stores/pgvectordocumentstore.mdx)\n- [PineconeDocumentStore](../../document-stores/pinecone-document-store.mdx)\n- [QdrantDocumentStore](../../document-stores/qdrant-document-store.mdx)\n- [WeaviateDocumentStore](../../document-stores/weaviatedocumentstore.mdx)\n- [MilvusDocumentStore](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/milvus-document-store)\n- [Neo4jDocumentStore](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/neo4j-document-store)\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use `CSVDocumentSplitter` outside of a pipeline to process CSV documents directly:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import CSVDocumentSplitter\n\nsplitter = CSVDocumentSplitter(row_split_threshold=1, column_split_threshold=1)\n\ndoc = Document(\n content=\"\"\"ID,LeftVal,,,RightVal,Extra\n1,Hello,,,World,Joined\n2,StillLeft,,,StillRight,Bridge\n,,,,,\nA,B,,,C,D\nE,F,,,G,H\n\"\"\",\n)\nsplit_result = splitter.run([doc])\nprint(split_result[\"documents\"]) # List of split tables as Documents\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's how you can integrate `CSVDocumentSplitter` into a Haystack indexing pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters.csv import CSVToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import CSVDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import CSVDocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\n## Initialize components\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=CSVToDocument(), name=\"csv_file_converter\")\np.add_component(instance=CSVDocumentSplitter(), name=\"splitter\")\np.add_component(instance=CSVDocumentCleaner(), name=\"cleaner\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\n\n## Connect components\np.connect(\"csv_file_converter.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"cleaner.documents\")\np.connect(\"cleaner.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\n## Run pipeline\np.run({\"csv_file_converter\": {\"sources\": [\"path/to/your/file.csv\"]}})\n```\n\nThis pipeline extracts CSV content, splits it into structured sub-tables, cleans the CSV documents by removing empty rows and columns, and stores the resulting documents in the Document Store for further retrieval and processing.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/preprocessors/documentcleaner.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"DocumentCleaner\"\nid: documentcleaner\nslug: \"/documentcleaner\"\ndescription: \"Use `DocumentCleaner` to make text documents more readable.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentCleaner` expects a list of documents as input and returns a list of documents with cleaned texts. Selectable cleaning steps for each input document are to `remove_empty_lines`, `remove_extra_whitespaces` and to `remove_repeated_substrings`. These three parameters are booleans that can be set when the component is initialized.\n\n- `unicode_normalization` normalizes Unicode characters to a standard form. The parameter can be set to NFC, NFKC, NFD, or NFKD.\n- `ascii_only` removes accents from characters and replaces them with their closest ASCII equivalents.\n- `remove_empty_lines` removes empty lines from the document.\n- `remove_extra_whitespaces` removes extra whitespaces from the document.\n- `remove_repeated_substrings` removes repeated substrings (headers/footers) from pages in the document. Pages in the text need to be separated by form feed character \"\\\\f\", which is supported by [`TextFileToDocument`](../converters/textfiletodocument.mdx) and [`AzureOCRDocumentConverter`](../converters/azureocrdocumentconverter.mdx).\n\nIn addition, you can specify a list of strings that should be removed from all documents as part of the cleaning with the parameter `remove_substring`. You can also specify a regular expression with the parameter `remove_regex` and any matches will be removed.\n\nThe cleaning steps are executed in the following order:\n\n1. unicode_normalization\n2. ascii_only\n3. remove_extra_whitespaces\n4. remove_empty_lines\n5. remove_substrings\n6. remove_regex\n7. remove_repeated_substrings\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use it outside of a pipeline to clean up your documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"This is a document to clean\\n\\n\\nsubstring to remove\")\n\ncleaner = DocumentCleaner(remove_substrings=[\"substring to remove\"])\nresult = cleaner.run(documents=[doc])\n\nassert result[\"documents\"][0].content == \"This is a document to clean \"\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters import TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name=\"text_file_converter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentCleaner(), name=\"cleaner\")\np.add_component(\n instance=DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=1),\n name=\"splitter\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\np.connect(\"text_file_converter.documents\", \"cleaner.documents\")\np.connect(\"cleaner.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\np.run({\"text_file_converter\": {\"sources\": your_files}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/preprocessors/documentpreprocessor.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"DocumentPreprocessor\"\nid: documentpreprocessor\nslug: \"/documentpreprocessor\"\ndescription: \"Divides a list of text documents into a list of shorter text documents and then makes them more readable by cleaning.\"\n---\n\n# DocumentPreprocessor\n\nDivides a list of text documents into a list of shorter text documents and then makes them more readable by cleaning.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentPreprocessor` first splits and then cleans documents.\n\nIt is a SuperComponent that combines a `DocumentSplitter` and a `DocumentCleaner` into a single component.\n\n### Parameters\n\nThe `DocumentPreprocessor` exposes all initialization parameters of the underlying `DocumentSplitter` and `DocumentCleaner`, and they are all optional. A detailed description of their parameters is in the respective documentation pages:\n\n- [DocumentSplitter](documentsplitter.mdx)\n- [DocumentCleaner](documentcleaner.mdx)\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentPreprocessor\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\npreprocessor = DocumentPreprocessor()\n\nresult = preprocessor.run(documents=[doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can use the `DocumentPreprocessor` in your indexing pipeline.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentSplitter` expects a list of documents as input and returns a list of documents with split texts. It splits each input document by `split_by` after `split_length` units with an overlap of `split_overlap` units. These additional parameters can be set when the component is initialized:\n\n- `split_by` can be `\"word\"`, `\"sentence\"`, `\"passage\"` (paragraph), `\"page\"`, `\"line\"` or `\"function\"`.\n- `split_length` is an integer indicating the chunk size, which is the number of words, sentences, or passages.\n- `split_overlap` is an integer indicating the number of overlapping words, sentences, or passages between chunks.\n- `split_threshold` is an integer indicating the minimum number of words, sentences, or passages that the document fragment should have. If the fragment is below the threshold, it will be attached to the previous one.\n\nA field `\"source_id\"` is added to each document's `meta` data to keep track of the original document that was split. Another meta field `\"page_number\"` is added to each document to keep track of the page it belonged to in the original document. Other metadata are copied from the original document.\n\nThe DocumentSplitter is compatible with the following DocumentStores:\n\n- [AstraDocumentStore](../../document-stores/astradocumentstore.mdx)\n- [ChromaDocumentStore](../../document-stores/chromadocumentstore.mdx) – limited support, overlapping information is not stored.\n- [ElasticsearchDocumentStore](../../document-stores/elasticsearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [OpenSearchDocumentStore](../../document-stores/opensearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [PgvectorDocumentStore](../../document-stores/pgvectordocumentstore.mdx)\n- [PineconeDocumentStore](../../document-stores/pinecone-document-store.mdx) – limited support, overlapping information is not stored.\n- [QdrantDocumentStore](../../document-stores/qdrant-document-store.mdx)\n- [WeaviateDocumentStore](../../document-stores/weaviatedocumentstore.mdx)\n- [MilvusDocumentStore](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/milvus-document-store)\n- [Neo4jDocumentStore](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/neo4j-document-store)\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use this component outside of a pipeline to shorten your documents like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\n\ndoc = Document(\n content=\"Moonlight shimmered softly, wolves howled nearby, night enveloped everything.\",\n)\n\nsplitter = DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"word\", split_length=3, split_overlap=0)\nresult = splitter.run(documents=[doc])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's how you can use `DocumentSplitter` in an indexing pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters.txt import TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name=\"text_file_converter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentCleaner(), name=\"cleaner\")\np.add_component(\n instance=DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"sentence\", split_length=1),\n name=\"splitter\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\np.connect(\"text_file_converter.documents\", \"cleaner.documents\")\np.connect(\"cleaner.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\npath = \"path/to/your/files\"\nfiles = list(Path(path).glob(\"*.md\"))\np.run({\"text_file_converter\": {\"sources\": files}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/preprocessors/embeddingbaseddocumentsplitter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"EmbeddingBasedDocumentSplitter\"\nid: embeddingbaseddocumentsplitter\nslug: \"/embeddingbaseddocumentsplitter\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to split documents based on embedding similarity using cosine distances between sequential sentence groups.\"\n---\n\n# EmbeddingBasedDocumentSplitter\n\nUse this component to split documents based on embedding similarity using cosine distances between sequential sentence groups.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThis component splits documents based on embedding similarity using cosine distances between sequential sentence groups.\n\nIt first splits text into sentences, optionally groups them, calculates embeddings for each group, and then uses cosine\ndistance between sequential embeddings to determine split points. Any distance above the specified percentile is treated\nas a break point. The component also tracks page numbers based on form feed characters (`\\f`) in the original document.\n\nThis component is inspired by [5 Levels of Text Splitting](https://github.com/FullStackRetrieval-com/RetrievalTutorials/blob/main/tutorials/LevelsOfTextSplitting/5_Levels_Of_Text_Splitting.ipynb) by Greg Kamradt.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\n\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import EmbeddingBasedDocumentSplitter\n\n# Create a document with content that has a clear topic shift\ndoc = Document(\n content=\"This is a first sentence.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `HierarchicalDocumentSplitter` divides documents into blocks of different sizes, creating a tree-like structure.\n\nA block is one of the chunks of text that the splitter produces. It is similar to cutting a long piece of text into smaller pieces: each piece is a block. Blocks form a tree structure where your full document is the root block, and as you split it into smaller and smaller pieces you get child-blocks and leaf-blocks, down to whatever smallest size specified.\n\nThe [`AutoMergingRetriever`](../retrievers/automergingretriever.mdx) component then leverages this hierarchical structure to improve document retrieval.\n\nTo initialize the component, you need to specify the `block_size`, which is the “maximum length” of each of the blocks, measured in the specific unit (see `split_by` parameter). Pass a set of sizes (for example, `{20, 5}`), and it will:\n\n- First, split the document into blocks of up to 20 units each (the “parent” blocks).\n- Then, it will split each of those into blocks of up to 5 units each (the “child” blocks).\n\nThis descending order of sizes builds the hierarchy.\n\nThese additional parameters can be set when the component is initialized:\n\n- `split_by` can be `\"word\"` (default), `\"sentence\"`, `\"passage\"`, `\"page\"`.\n- `split_overlap` is an integer indicating the number of overlapping words, sentences, or passages between chunks, 0 being the default.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"This is a simple test document\")\nsplitter = HierarchicalDocumentSplitter(block_sizes={3, 2}, split_overlap=0, split_by=\"word\")\nsplitter.run([doc])\n\n>> {'documents': [Document(id=3f7..., content: 'This is a simple test document', meta: {'block_size': 0, 'parent_id': None, 'children_ids': ['5ff..', '8dc..'], 'level': 0}),\n>> Document(id=5ff.., content: 'This is a ', meta: {'block_size': 3, 'parent_id': '3f7..', 'children_ids': ['f19..', '52c..'], 'level': 1, 'source_id': '3f7..', 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 0, 'split_idx_start': 0}),\n>> Document(id=8dc.., content: 'simple test document', meta: {'block_size': 3, 'parent_id': '3f7..', 'children_ids': ['39d..', 'e23..'], 'level': 1, 'source_id': '3f7..', 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 1, 'split_idx_start': 10}),\n>> Document(id=f19.., content: 'This is ', meta: {'block_size': 2, 'parent_id': '5ff..', 'children_ids': [], 'level': 2, 'source_id': '5ff..', 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 0, 'split_idx_start': 0}),\n>> Document(id=52c.., content: 'a ', meta: {'block_size': 2, 'parent_id': '5ff..', 'children_ids': [], 'level': 2, 'source_id': '5ff..', 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 1, 'split_idx_start': 8}),\n>> Document(id=39d.., content: 'simple test ', meta: {'block_size': 2, 'parent_id': '8dc..', 'children_ids': [], 'level': 2, 'source_id': '8dc..', 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 0, 'split_idx_start': 0}),\n>> Document(id=e23.., content: 'document', meta: {'block_size': 2, 'parent_id': '8dc..', 'children_ids': [], 'level': 2, 'source_id': '8dc..', 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 1, 'split_idx_start': 12})]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThis Haystack pipeline processes `.md` files by converting them to documents, cleaning the text, splitting it into sentence-based chunks, and storing the results in an In-Memory Document Store.\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters.txt import TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\nPipeline = Pipeline()\nPipeline.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name=\"text_file_converter\")\nPipeline.add_component(instance=DocumentCleaner(), name=\"cleaner\")\nPipeline.add_component(instance=HierarchicalDocumentSplitter(\n\tblock_sizes={10, 6, 3}, split_overlap=0, split_by=\"sentence\", name=\"splitter\"\n)\nPipeline.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\nPipeline.connect(\"text_file_converter.documents\", \"cleaner.documents\")\nPipeline.connect(\"cleaner.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\nPipeline.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\n\npath = \"path/to/your/files\"\nfiles = list(Path(path).glob(\"*.md\"))\nPipeline.run({\"text_file_converter\": {\"sources\": files}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/preprocessors/markdownheadersplitter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MarkdownHeaderSplitter\"\nid: markdownheadersplitter\nslug: \"/markdownheadersplitter\"\ndescription: \"Split documents at ATX-style Markdown headers (#), with optional secondary splitting.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `MarkdownHeaderSplitter` processes text documents by:\n\n- Splitting them into chunks at ATX-style Markdown headers (`#`, `##`, …, `######`), preserving header hierarchy as metadata.\n- Optionally applying a secondary split (by word, passage, period, or line) to each chunk using Haystack's [`DocumentSplitter`](documentsplitter.mdx).\n- Preserving and propagating metadata such as parent headers, page numbers, and split IDs.\n\nOnly ATX-style headers are recognized (e.g. `# Title`). Setext-style headers (`Underline with ===`) aren't supported.\n\nParameters you can set when initializing the component:\n\n- `page_break_character`: Character used to identify page breaks. Defaults to form feed `\\f`.\n- `keep_headers`: If `True`, headers remain in the chunk content. If `False`, headers are moved to metadata only. Defaults to `True`.\n- `secondary_split`: Optional secondary split after header splitting. Options: `None`, `\"word\"`, `\"passage\"`, `\"period\"`, `\"line\"`. Defaults to `None`.\n- `split_length`: Maximum number of units per split when using secondary splitting. Defaults to `200`.\n- `split_overlap`: Number of overlapping units between splits when using secondary splitting.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `RecursiveDocumentSplitter` expects a list of documents as input and returns a list of documents with split texts. You can set the following parameters when initializing the component:\n\n- `split_length`: The maximum length of each chunk, in words, by default. See the `split_units` parameter to change the the unit.\n- `split_overlap`: The number of characters or words that overlap between consecutive chunks.\n- `split_unit`: The unit of the `split_length` parameter. Can be either `\"word\"`, `\"char\"`, or `\"token\"`.\n- `separators`: An optional list of separator strings to use for splitting the text. If you don’t provide any separators, the default ones are `[\"\\n\\n\", \"sentence\", \"\\n\", \" \"]`. The string separators will be treated as regular expressions. If the separator is `\"sentence\"`, the text will be split into sentences using a custom sentence tokenizer based on NLTK. See [SentenceSplitter](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/components/preprocessors/sentence_tokenizer.py#L116) code for more information.\n- `sentence_splitter_params`: Optional parameters to pass to the [SentenceSplitter](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/components/preprocessors/sentence_tokenizer.py#L116).\n\nThe separators are applied in the same order as they are defined in the list. The first separator is used on the text; any resulting chunk that is within the specified `chunk_size` is retained. For chunks that exceed the defined `chunk_size`, the next separator in the list is applied. If all separators are used and the chunk still exceeds the `chunk_size`, a hard split occurs based on the `chunk_size`, taking into account whether words or characters are used as counting units. This process is repeated until all chunks are within the limits of the specified `chunk_size`.\n\n## Usage\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import RecursiveDocumentSplitter\n\nchunker = RecursiveDocumentSplitter(split_length=260, split_overlap=0, separators=[\"\\n\\n\", \"\\n\", \".\", \" \"])\ntext = ('''Artificial intelligence (AI) - Introduction\n\nAI, in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.\nAI technology is widely used throughout industry, government, and science.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`TextCleaner` expects a list of strings as input and returns a list of strings with cleaned texts. Selectable cleaning steps are to `convert_to_lowercase`, `remove_punctuation`, and to `remove_numbers`. These three parameters are booleans that need to be set when the component is initialized.\n\n- `convert_to_lowercase` converts all characters in texts to lowercase.\n- `remove_punctuation` removes all punctuation from the text.\n- `remove_numbers` removes all numerical digits from the text.\n\nIn addition, you can specify a regular expression with the parameter `remove_regexps`, and any matches will be removed.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use it outside of a pipeline to clean up any texts:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import TextCleaner\n\ntext_to_clean = (\n \"1Moonlight shimmered softly, 300 Wolves howled nearby, Night enveloped everything.\"\n)\n\ncleaner = TextCleaner(\n convert_to_lowercase=True,\n remove_punctuation=False,\n remove_numbers=True,\n)\nresult = cleaner.run(texts=[text_to_clean])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn this example, we are using `TextCleaner` after an `ExtractiveReader` and an `OutputAdapter` to remove the punctuation in texts.

This technique improves retrieval recall by allowing your retrieval system to find documents that might not match the original query phrasing but are still relevant.\n\nThe component uses a chat-based LLM to generate expanded queries. By default, it uses OpenAI's `gpt-4.1-mini` model, but you can pass any preferred Chat Generator component (such as `AnthropicChatGenerator` or `AzureOpenAIChatGenerator`) to the `chat_generator` parameter:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.query import QueryExpander\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import AnthropicChatGenerator\n\nexpander = QueryExpander(\n chat_generator=AnthropicChatGenerator(model=\"claude-sonnet-4-20250514\"),\n n_expansions=3,\n)\n```\n\nThe generated queries:\n- Use different words and phrasings while maintaining the same core meaning\n- Include synonyms and related terms\n- Preserve the original query's language\n- Are designed to work well with both keyword-based and semantic search (such as embeddings)\n\nYou can control the number of query expansions with the `n_expansions` parameter and choose whether to include the original query in the output with the `include_original_query` parameter.\n\n### Custom Prompt Template\n\nYou can provide a custom prompt template to control how queries are expanded:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.query import QueryExpander\n\ncustom_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a search query expansion assistant.\nGenerate {{ n_expansions }} alternative search queries for: \"{{ query }}\"\n\nReturn a JSON object with a \"queries\" array containing the expanded queries.\nFocus on technical terminology and domain-specific variations.\n\"\"\"\n\nexpander = QueryExpander(prompt_template=custom_template, n_expansions=4)\n\nresult = expander.run(query=\"machine learning optimization\")\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n`QueryExpander` is designed to work with multi-query Retrievers.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AmazonBedrockRanker` ranks documents based on semantic relevance to a specified query. It uses Amazon Bedrock Rerank API. This list of all supported models can be found in Amazon’s [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/rerank-supported.html). The default model for this Ranker is `cohere.rerank-v3-5:0`.\n\nYou can also specify the `top_k` parameter to set the maximum number of documents to return.\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using Amazon Bedrock with Haystack, install the `amazon-bedrock-haystack` package:\n\n```shell\npip install amazon-bedrock-haystack\n```\n\n### Authentication\n\nThis component uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM. For more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see the [official documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\n:::info Using AWS CLI\n\nConsider using AWS CLI as a more straightforward tool to manage your AWS services. With AWS CLI, you can quickly configure your [boto3 credentials](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html). This way, you won't need to provide detailed authentication parameters when initializing Amazon Bedrock in Haystack.\n:::\n\nTo use this component, initialize it with the model name. The AWS credentials (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`) should be set as environment variables, configured as described above, or passed as [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) arguments. Make sure the region you set supports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example uses `AmazonBedrockRanker` to rank two simple documents. To run the Ranker, pass a `query` and provide the `documents`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockRanker\n\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\n\nranker = AmazonBedrockRanker()\n\nranker.run(query=\"City in France\", documents=docs, top_k=1)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`). It then uses the `AmazonBedrockRanker` to rank the retrieved documents according to their similarity to the query. The pipeline uses the default settings of the Ranker.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France\"),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = AmazonBedrockRanker()\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline = Pipeline()\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\nres = document_ranker_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/choosing-the-right-ranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Choosing the Right Ranker\"\nid: choosing-the-right-ranker\nslug: \"/choosing-the-right-ranker\"\ndescription: \"This page provides guidance on selecting the right Ranker for your pipeline in Haystack. It explains the distinctions between API-based, on-premise rankers and heuristic approaches, and offers advice based on latency, privacy, and diversity requirements.\"\n---\n\n# Choosing the Right Ranker\n\nThis page provides guidance on selecting the right Ranker for your pipeline in Haystack. It explains the distinctions between API-based, on-premise rankers and heuristic approaches, and offers advice based on latency, privacy, and diversity requirements.\n\nRankers in Haystack reorder a set of retrieved documents based on their estimated relevance to a user query. Rankers operate after retrieval and aim to refine the result list before it's passed to a downstream component like a [Generator](../generators.mdx) or [Reader](../readers.mdx).\n\nThis reordering is based on additional signals beyond simple vector similarity. Depending on the Ranker used, these signals can include semantic similarity (with cross-encoders), structured metadata (such as timestamps or categories), or position-based heuristics (for example, placing relevant content at the start and end).\n\nA typical question answering pipeline using a Ranker includes:\n\n1. Retrieve: Use a [Retriever](../retrievers.mdx) to find a candidate set of documents. \n2. Rank: Reorder those documents using a Ranker component. \n3. Answer: Pass the re-ranked documents to a downstream [Generator](../generators.mdx) or [Reader](../readers.mdx).\n\nThis guide helps you choose the right Ranker depending on your use case, whether you're optimizing for performance, cost, accuracy, or diversity in results. It focuses on selecting between different types of Rankers in Haystack, not specific models, but rather the general mechanism and interface that best suits your setup.\n\n## API Based Rankers\n\nThese Rankers use external APIs to reorder documents using powerful models hosted remotely. They offer high-quality relevance scoring without local compute, but can be slower due to network latency and costly at scale.\n\nThe pricing model varies by provider, some charge per token processed , while others bill by usage time or number of API calls. Refer to the respective provider documentation for precise cost structures.\n\nMost API-based Rankers in Haystack currently rely on cross-encoder models (currently, but might change in the future), which evaluate the query and document together to produce highly accurate relevance scores. Examples include [AmazonBedrockRanker](amazonbedrockranker.mdx), [CohereRanker](cohereranker.mdx) and [JinaRanker](jinaranker.mdx).\n\nIn contrast, the [NvidiaRanker](nvidiaranker.mdx) and [LLMRanker](llmranker.mdx) use large language models (LLMs) for ranking. These models treat relevance as a semantic reasoning task, which can yield better results for complex or multi-step queries, though often at higher computational cost. **LLMRanker** works with any Haystack chat generator and prompts the LLM to return ranked document indices as JSON.\n\n## On-Premise Rankers\n\nThese Rankers run entirely on your local infrastructure. They are ideal for teams prioritizing data privacy, cost control, or low-latency inference without depending on external APIs. Since the models are executed locally, they avoid network bottlenecks and recurring usage costs, but require sufficient compute resources, typically GPU-backed, especially for cross-encoder models.\n\nAll on-premise Rankers in Haystack use cross-encoder architectures. These models jointly process the query and each document to assess relevance with deep contextual awareness. For example:\n\n- [SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker](sentencetransformerssimilarityranker.mdx) ranks documents based on semantic similarity to the query. In addition to the default PyTorch backend (optimal for GPU), it also offers other memory-efficient options which are suitable for CPU-only cases: ONNX and OpenVINO. \n- [TransformersSimilarityRanker](transformerssimilarityranker.mdx) is its legacy predecessor and should generally be avoided in favor of the newer, more flexible SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker. \n- [HuggingFaceTEIRanker](huggingfaceteiranker.mdx) is based on the Text Embeddings Inference project: whether you have GPU resources or not, it offers high-performance for serving the models locally. In addition, you can also use this component to perform inference with reranking models hosted on Hugging Face Inference Endpoints. \n- [FastembedRanker](fastembedranker.mdx) supports a variety of cross-encoder models and is optimal for CPU-only environments. \n- [SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker](sentencetransformersdiversityranker.mdx) reorders documents to maximize diversity, helping reduce redundancy and cover a broader range of relevant topics.\n\nThese Rankers give you full control over model selection, optimization, and deployment, making them well-suited for production environments with strict SLAs or compliance requirements.\n\n## Rule-Based Rankers\n\nRule-Based Rankers in Haystack prioritize or reorder documents based on heuristic logic rather than semantic understanding. They operate on document metadata or simple structural patterns, making them computationally efficient and useful for enforcing domain-specific rules or structuring inputs in a retrieval pipeline. While they do not assess semantic relevance directly, they serve as valuable complements to more advanced methods like cross-encoder or LLM-based Rankers.\n\nFor example:\n\n- [MetaFieldRanker](metafieldranker.mdx) scores and orders documents based on metadata values such as recency, source reliability, or custom-defined priorities. \n- [MetaFieldGroupingRanker](metafieldgroupingranker.mdx) groups documents by a specified metadata field and returns every document in each group together, ensuring that related documents (for example, from the same file) are processed as a single block, which has been shown to improve LLM performance. \n- [LostInTheMiddleRanker](lostinthemiddleranker.mdx) reorders documents after ranking to mitigate position bias in models with limited context windows, ensuring that highly relevant items are not overlooked.\n\nThe **MetaFieldRanker** Ranker is typically used _before_ semantic ranking to filter or restructure documents according to business logic.\n\nIn contrast, **LostInTheMiddleRanker and MetaFieldGroupingRanker** are intended for use _after_ ranking, to improve the effectiveness of downstream components like LLMs. These deterministic approaches provide speed, transparency, and fine-grained control, making them well-suited for pipelines requiring explainability or strict operational logic." }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/cohereranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"CohereRanker\"\nid: cohereranker\nslug: \"/cohereranker\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query using Cohere rerank models.\"\n---\n\n# CohereRanker\n\nUse this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query using Cohere rerank models.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`CohereRanker` ranks `Documents` based on semantic relevance to a specified query. It uses Cohere rerank models for ranking. This list of all supported models can be found in Cohere’s [documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/rerank-2). The default model for this Ranker is `rerank-english-v2.0`.\n\nYou can also specify the `top_k` parameter to set the maximum number of documents to return.\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install cohere-haystack\n```\n\nThe component uses a `COHERE_API_KEY` or `CO_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass a Cohere API key at initialization with `api_key` like this:\n\n```python\nranker = CohereRanker(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example uses `CohereRanker` to rank two simple documents. To run the Ranker, pass a `query`, provide the `documents`, and set the number of documents to return in the `top_k` parameter.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.cohere import CohereRanker\n\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\n\nranker = CohereRanker()\n\nranker.run(query=\"City in France\", documents=docs, top_k=1)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`). It then uses the `CohereRanker` to rank the retrieved documents according to their similarity to the query. The pipeline uses the default settings of the Ranker.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.cohere import CohereRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France\"),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = CohereRanker()\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline = Pipeline()\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\nres = document_ranker_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n\n:::note `top_k` parameter\n\nIn the example above, the `top_k` values for the Retriever and the Ranker are different. The Retriever's `top_k` specifies how many documents it returns. The Ranker then orders these documents.\n\nYou can set the same or a smaller `top_k` value for the Ranker. The Ranker's `top_k` is the number of documents it returns (if it's the last component in the pipeline) or forwards to the next component. In the pipeline example above, the Ranker is the last component, so the output you get when you run the pipeline are the top two documents, as per the Ranker's `top_k`.\n\nAdjusting the `top_k` values can help you optimize performance. In this case, a smaller `top_k` value of the Retriever means fewer documents to process for the Ranker, which can speed up the pipeline.\n:::\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/external-integrations-rankers.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"External Integrations\"\nid: external-integrations-rankers\nslug: \"/external-integrations-rankers\"\ndescription: \"External integrations that enable ordering documents by given criteria.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`FastembedRanker` ranks the documents based on how similar they are to the query. It uses [cross-encoder models supported by FastEmbed](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/).\nBased on ONXX Runtime, FastEmbed provides a fast experience on standard CPU machines.\n\n`FastembedRanker` is most useful in query pipelines such as a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline or a document search pipeline to ensure the retrieved documents are ordered by relevance. You can use it after a Retriever (such as the [`InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`](../retrievers/inmemoryembeddingretriever.mdx)) to improve the search results. When using `FastembedRanker` with a Retriever, consider setting the Retriever's `top_k` to a small number. This way, the Ranker will have fewer documents to process, which can help make your pipeline faster.\n\nBy default, this component uses the `Xenova/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2` model, but you can switch to a different model by adjusting the `model` parameter when initializing the Ranker. For details on different initialization settings, check out the [API reference](/reference/fastembed-embedders) page.\n\n### Compatible Models\n\nYou can find the compatible models in the [FastEmbed documentation](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/).\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install fastembed-haystack\n```\n\n### Parameters\n\nYou can set the path where the model is stored in a cache directory. You can also set the number of threads a single `onnxruntime` session can use.\n\n```python\ncache_dir = \"/your_cacheDirectory\"\nranker = FastembedRanker(\n model=\"Xenova/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2\",\n cache_dir=cache_dir,\n threads=2,\n)\n```\n\nIf you want to use the data parallel encoding, you can set the parameters `parallel` and `batch_size`.\n\n- If `parallel` > 1, data-parallel encoding will be used. This is recommended for offline encoding of large datasets.\n- If `parallel` is 0, use all available cores.\n- If None, don't use data-parallel processing; use default `onnxruntime` threading instead.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example uses `FastembedRanker` to rank two simple documents. To run the Ranker, pass a `query`, provide the `documents`, and set the number of documents to return in the `top_k` parameter.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.fastembed import FastembedRanker\n\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\n\nranker = FastembedRanker()\n\nranker.run(query=\"City in France\", documents=docs, top_k=1)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`. It then uses the `FastembedRanker` to rank the retrieved documents according to their similarity to the query. The pipeline uses the default settings of the Ranker.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.fastembed import FastembedRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France\"),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = FastembedRanker()\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline = Pipeline()\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\nres = document_ranker_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/huggingfaceteiranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"HuggingFaceTEIRanker\"\nid: huggingfaceteiranker\nslug: \"/huggingfaceteiranker\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query using a Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) API endpoint.\"\n---\n\n# HuggingFaceTEIRanker\n\nUse this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query using a Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) API endpoint.\n\n

You can set it with `HF_API_TOKEN` or `HF_TOKEN` environment variables, or by using Haystack's [Secret management](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx).\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use `HuggingFaceTEIRanker` outside of a pipeline to order documents based on your query.\n\nThis example uses the `HuggingFaceTEIRanker` to rank two simple documents.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`LLMRanker` uses an LLM to reorder documents by relevance to the query. Unlike cross-encoder rankers, it treats relevance as a semantic reasoning task, which can yield better results for complex or multi-step queries. The component sends the query and document contents to the LLM and parses the response as JSON: an array of objects with an `index` field (1-based document position). Only documents that the LLM includes in this list are returned, in the order given.\n\nBefore ranking, duplicate documents are removed. You can set `top_k` to limit how many documents are returned. If generation or parsing fails, the ranker either raises (when `raise_on_failure=True`) or returns the input documents in their original order (when `raise_on_failure=False`, the default).\n\nYou can pass any Haystack `ChatGenerator` that supports structured JSON output. If you omit `chat_generator`, a default `OpenAIChatGenerator` (e.g. `gpt-4.1-mini`) with JSON schema for the ranking response is used. You need to provide an OPENAI_API_KEY for this `ChatGenerator`. You can also provide a custom `prompt` template. It must include exactly the variables `query` and `documents` and instruct the LLM to return ranked 1-based document indices as JSON.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example uses `LLMRanker` with the default `OpenAIChatGenerator` to rank two documents. The ranker returns documents in the order specified by the LLM.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import LLMRanker\n\nranker = LLMRanker()\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(id=\"paris\", content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\"),\n Document(id=\"berlin\", content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\"),\n]\n\nresult = ranker.run(query=\"capital of Germany\", documents=documents)\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].id) # \"berlin\"\n```\n\n### With a custom chat generator\n\nYou can pass your own chat generator configured for JSON output (e.g. with `response_format` / JSON schema so the model returns the expected `documents` array with `index` fields):\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import LLMRanker\n\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n model=\"gpt-4.1-mini\",\n generation_kwargs={\n \"temperature\": 0.0,\n \"response_format\": {\n \"type\": \"json_schema\",\n \"json_schema\": {\n \"name\": \"document_ranking\",\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"documents\": {\n \"type\": \"array\",\n \"items\": {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"index\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"index\"],\n \"additionalProperties\": False,\n },\n }\n },\n \"required\": [\"documents\"],\n \"additionalProperties\": False,\n },\n },\n },\n },\n)\n\nranker = LLMRanker(chat_generator=chat_generator)\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\"),\n]\nresult = ranker.run(query=\"capital of Germany\", documents=documents, top_k=1)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents with `InMemoryBM25Retriever` and then ranks them with `LLMRanker`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import LLMRanker\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France.\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany.\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France.\"),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = LLMRanker(top_k=2)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\npipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\npipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\nresult = pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n\n:::note `top_k` parameter\n\nThe Retriever's `top_k` controls how many documents are retrieved. The Ranker's `top_k` limits how many of those documents are returned after ranking. You can set the same or a smaller `top_k` for the Ranker to optimize cost and latency.\n:::\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/lostinthemiddleranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"LostInTheMiddleRanker\"\nid: lostinthemiddleranker\nslug: \"/lostinthemiddleranker\"\ndescription: \"This Ranker positions the most relevant documents at the beginning and at the end of the resulting list while placing the least relevant Documents in the middle.\"\n---\n\n# LostInTheMiddleRanker\n\nThis Ranker positions the most relevant documents at the beginning and at the end of the resulting list while placing the least relevant Documents in the middle.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `LostInTheMiddleRanker` reorders the documents based on the \"Lost in the Middle\" order, described in the [\"Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts\"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03172) research paper. It aims to lay out paragraphs into LLM context so that the relevant paragraphs are at the beginning or end of the input context, while the least relevant information is in the middle of the context. This reordering is helpful when very long contexts are sent to an LLM, as current models pay more attention to the start and end of long input contexts.\n\nIn contrast to other rankers, `LostInTheMiddleRanker` assumes that the input documents are already sorted by relevance, and it doesn’t require a query as input. It is typically used as the last component before building a prompt for an LLM to prepare the input context for the LLM.\n\n### Parameters\n\nIf you specify the `word_count_threshold` when running the component, the Ranker includes all documents up until the point where adding another document would exceed the given threshold. The last document that exceeds the threshold will be included in the resulting list of Documents, but all following documents will be discarded.\n\nYou can also specify the `top_k` parameter to set the maximum number of documents to return.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import LostInTheMiddleRanker\n\nranker = LostInTheMiddleRanker()\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin\"),\n Document(content=\"Madrid\"),\n]\nresult = ranker.run(documents=docs)\n\nfor doc in result[\"documents\"]:\n print(doc.content)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nNote that this example requires an OpenAI key to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import LostInTheMiddleRanker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Define prompt template\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"You are a helpful assistant.\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Given these documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\\n\"\n \"{% for doc in documents %}{{ doc.content }}{% endfor %}\\n\"\n \"Question: {{query}}\\nAnswer:\",\n ),\n]\n\n## Define documents\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France...\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany...\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France...\"),\n]\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = LostInTheMiddleRanker(word_count_threshold=1024)\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=prompt_template,\n required_variables={\"query\", \"documents\"},\n)\ngenerator = OpenAIChatGenerator()\n\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\np.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\np.add_component(instance=prompt_builder, name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=generator, name=\"llm\")\n\np.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\np.connect(\"ranker.documents\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder.messages\", \"llm.messages\")\n\np.run(\n {\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": \"What cities are in France?\", \"top_k\": 3},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": \"What cities are in France?\"},\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/metafieldgroupingranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MetaFieldGroupingRanker\"\nid: metafieldgroupingranker\nslug: \"/metafieldgroupingranker\"\ndescription: \"Reorder the documents by grouping them based on metadata keys.\"\n---\n\n# MetaFieldGroupingRanker\n\nReorder the documents by grouping them based on metadata keys.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `MetaFieldGroupingRanker` component groups documents by a primary metadata key `group_by`, and subgroups them with an optional secondary key, `subgroup_by`.\nWithin each group or subgroup, the component can also sort documents by a metadata key `sort_docs_by`.\n\nThe output is a flat list of documents ordered by `group_by` and `subgroup_by` values.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`MetaFieldRanker` sorts documents based on the value of a specific meta field in descending or ascending order. This means the returned list of `Document` objects are arranged in a selected order, with string values sorted alphabetically or in reverse (for example, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin).\n\n`MetaFieldRanker` comes with the optional parameters `weight` and `ranking_mode` you can use to combine a document’s score assigned by the Retriever and the value of its meta field for the ranking. The `weight` parameter lets you balance the importance of the Document's content and the meta field in the ranking process. The `ranking_mode` parameter defines how the scores from the Retriever and the Ranker are combined.\n\nThis Ranker is useful in query pipelines, like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines or document search pipelines. It ensures the documents are ordered by their meta field value. You can also use it after a Retriever (such as the `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`) to combine the Retriever’s score with a document’s meta value for improved ranking.\n\nBy default, `MetaFieldRanker` sorts documents only based on the meta field. You can adjust this by setting the `weight` to less than 1 when initializing this component. For more details on different initialization settings, check out the API reference for this component.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use this Ranker outside of a pipeline to sort documents.\n\nThis example uses the `MetaFieldRanker` to rank two simple documents. When running the Ranker, you pass the `query`, provide the `documents` and set the number of documents to rank using the `top_k` parameter.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import MetaFieldRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris\", meta={\"rating\": 1.3}),\n Document(content=\"Berlin\", meta={\"rating\": 0.7}),\n]\n\nranker = MetaFieldRanker(meta_field=\"rating\")\n\nranker.run(query=\"City in France\", documents=docs, top_k=1)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`). It then uses the `MetaFieldRanker` to rank the retrieved documents based on the meta field `rating`, using the Ranker's default settings:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import MetaFieldRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris\", meta={\"rating\": 1.3}),\n Document(content=\"Berlin\", meta={\"rating\": 0.7}),\n Document(content=\"Barcelona\", meta={\"rating\": 2.1}),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = MetaFieldRanker(meta_field=\"rating\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline = Pipeline()\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/nvidiaranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"NvidiaRanker\"\nid: nvidiaranker\nslug: \"/nvidiaranker\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query using Nvidia-hosted models.\"\n---\n\n# NvidiaRanker\n\nUse this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query using Nvidia-hosted models.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`NvidiaRanker` ranks `Documents` based on semantic relevance to a specified query. It uses ranking models provided by [NVIDIA NIMs](https://ai.nvidia.com). The default model for this Ranker is `nvidia/nv-rerankqa-mistral-4b-v3`.\n\nYou can also specify the `top_k` parameter to set the maximum number of documents to return.\n\nSee the rest of the customizable parameters you can set for `NvidiaRanker` in our [API reference](/reference/integrations-nvidia).\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install nvidia-haystack\n```\n\nThe component uses an `NVIDIA_API_KEY` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass an Nvidia API key at initialization with `api_key` like this:\n\n```python\nranker = NvidiaRanker(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example uses `NvidiaRanker` to rank two simple documents. To run the Ranker, pass a `query`, provide the `documents`, and set the number of documents to return in the `top_k` parameter.\n\n```python\n from haystack_integrations.components.rankers.nvidia import NvidiaRanker\n from haystack import Document\n from haystack.utils import Secret\n\n ranker = NvidiaRanker(\n model=\"nvidia/nv-rerankqa-mistral-4b-v3\",\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"NVIDIA_API_KEY\"),\n )\n\n query = \"What is the capital of Germany?\"\n documents = [\n Document(content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\"),\n Document(content=\"The capital of Germany is Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"Germany's capital is Berlin.\"),\n ]\n\n result = ranker.run(query, documents, top_k=2)\n print(result[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`). It then uses the `NvidiaRanker` to rank the retrieved documents according to their similarity to the query. The pipeline uses the default settings of the Ranker.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.nvidia import NvidiaRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France\"),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = NvidiaRanker()\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline = Pipeline()\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\nres = document_ranker_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n\n:::note `top_k` parameter\n\nIn the example above, the `top_k` values for the Retriever and the Ranker are different. The Retriever's `top_k` specifies how many documents it returns. The Ranker then orders these documents.\n\nYou can set the same or a smaller `top_k` value for the Ranker. The Ranker's `top_k` is the number of documents it returns (if it's the last component in the pipeline) or forwards to the next component. In the pipeline example above, the Ranker is the last component, so the output you get when you run the pipeline are the top two documents, as per the Ranker's `top_k`.\n\nAdjusting the `top_k` values can help you optimize performance. In this case, a smaller `top_k` value of the Retriever means fewer documents to process for the Ranker, which can speed up the pipeline.\n:::\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/pyversityranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PyversityRanker\"\nid: pyversityranker\nslug: \"/pyversityranker\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to rerank documents by balancing relevance and diversity using pyversity's diversification algorithms.\"\n---\n\n# PyversityRanker\n\nUse this component to rerank documents by balancing relevance and diversity using pyversity's diversification algorithms.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`PyversityRanker` reranks `Documents` using [pyversity](https://github.com/Pringled/pyversity)'s diversification algorithms. Unlike similarity-based rankers, it balances **relevance and diversity** - so the output isn't just the most relevant documents, but a varied selection that avoids redundancy.\n\nDocuments must have both `score` and `embedding` populated. This makes it a natural fit after a dense retriever such as `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever` configured with `return_embedding=True`. Documents missing either field are skipped with a warning.\n\nThe key parameters are:\n\n- `strategy`: The diversification algorithm to use. Defaults to `Strategy.DPP` (Determinantal Point Process). `Strategy.MMR` (Maximal Marginal Relevance) is another popular option.\n- `diversity`: A float in `[0, 1]` controlling the relevance–diversity trade-off. `0.0` keeps the most relevant documents; `1.0` maximises diversity regardless of relevance. Defaults to `0.5`.\n- `top_k`: The number of documents to return. If `None`, all documents are returned in diversified order.\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install pyversity-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis example uses `PyversityRanker` to rerank five documents. Each document must have a `score` and `embedding` set. The ranker returns the top 3 documents using the MMR strategy with a diversity of `0.7`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom pyversity import Strategy\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.pyversity import PyversityRanker\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\",\n score=0.95,\n embedding=[0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0],\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris.\",\n score=0.90,\n embedding=[0.8, 0.2, 0.0, 0.0],\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\",\n score=0.85,\n embedding=[0.0, 0.0, 0.9, 0.1],\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"The Brandenburg Gate is in Berlin.\",\n score=0.80,\n embedding=[0.0, 0.0, 0.8, 0.2],\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"France borders Spain to the south.\",\n score=0.75,\n embedding=[0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0],\n ),\n]\n\nranker = PyversityRanker(top_k=3, strategy=Strategy.MMR, diversity=0.7)\nresult = ranker.run(documents=documents)\n\nfor doc in result[\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"{doc.score:.2f} {doc.content}\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that embeds documents and stores them in an `InMemoryDocumentStore`. It then retrieves the top 6 documents using `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever` and reranks them with `PyversityRanker` to return 3 diverse results.\n\nNote that the retriever must be configured with `return_embedding=True` so that documents have embeddings available for the ranker.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom pyversity import Strategy\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.pyversity import PyversityRanker\n\n# Index documents\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\nraw_documents = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\"),\n Document(content=\"The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\"),\n Document(content=\"The Brandenburg Gate is in Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"France borders Spain to the south.\"),\n Document(content=\"The Louvre is the world's largest art museum and is in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"Munich is the capital of Bavaria.\"),\n Document(content=\"The Rhine river flows through Germany and France.\"),\n]\n\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ndocuments_with_embeddings = doc_embedder.run(raw_documents)[\"documents\"]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings)\n\n# Build pipeline\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\npipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n top_k=6,\n return_embedding=True,\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\n \"ranker\",\n PyversityRanker(top_k=3, strategy=Strategy.MMR, diversity=0.7),\n)\n\npipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\npipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\n# Run\nresult = pipeline.run(\n {\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": \"What are the famous landmarks in France?\"}},\n)\n\nfor doc in result[\"ranker\"][\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"{doc.score:.4f} {doc.content}\")\n```\n\n:::note Embeddings required\n\n`PyversityRanker` requires documents to have both `score` and `embedding` set.

The result is a list of `Document` objects in ranked order, with the Documents most similar to the query appearing first.\n\n`SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker` is most useful in query pipelines, such as a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline or a document search pipeline, to ensure the retrieved documents are ordered by relevance. You can use it after a Retriever (such as the `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`) to improve the search results. When using `SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker` with a Retriever, consider setting the Retriever's `top_k` to a small number. This way, the Ranker will have fewer documents to process, which can help make your pipeline faster.\n\nBy default, this component uses the `cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2` model, but it's flexible. You can switch to a different model by adjusting the `model` parameter when initializing the Ranker. For details on different initialization settings, check out the API reference for this component.\n\nYou can set the `device` parameter to use HF models on your CPU or GPU.\n\nAdditionally, you can select the backend to use for the Sentence Transformers mode with the `backend` parameter: `torch` (default), `onnx`, or `openvino`.\n\n### Authorization\n\nThe component uses a `HF_API_TOKEN` environment variable by default. Otherwise, you can pass a Hugging Face API token at initialization with [Secret](../../concepts/secret-management.mdx) `token`:\n\n```python\nranker = SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker(token=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nYou can use `SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker` outside of a pipeline to order documents based on your query.\n\nThis example uses the `SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker` to rank two simple documents. To run the Ranker, pass a query, provide the documents, and set the number of documents to return in the `top_k` parameter.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker\n\nranker = SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker()\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\nquery = \"City in Germany\"\nresult = ranker.run(query=query, documents=docs)\ndocs = result[\"documents\"]\nprint(docs[0].content)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n`SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker` is most efficient in query pipelines when used after a Retriever.\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves documents from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`). It then uses the `SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker` to rank the retrieved documents according to their similarity to the query. The pipeline uses the default settings of the Ranker.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is in France\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is in Germany\"),\n Document(content=\"Lyon is in France\"),\n]\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nranker = SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker()\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline = Pipeline()\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=retriever, name=\"retriever\")\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.add_component(instance=ranker, name=\"ranker\")\n\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.connect(\"retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\nquery = \"Cities in France\"\ndocument_ranker_pipeline.run(\n data={\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 3},\n \"ranker\": {\"query\": query, \"top_k\": 2},\n },\n)\n```\n\n:::note Ranker top_k\n\nIn the example above, the `top_k` values for the Retriever and the Ranker are different. The Retriever's `top_k` specifies how many documents it returns. The Ranker then orders these documents.\n\nYou can set the same or a smaller `top_k` value for the Ranker. The Ranker's `top_k` is the number of documents it returns (if it's the last component in the pipeline) or forwards to the next component. In the pipeline example above, the Ranker is the last component, so the output you get when you run the pipeline are the top two documents, as per the Ranker's `top_k`.\n\nAdjusting the `top_k` values can help you optimize performance. In this case, a smaller `top_k` value of the Retriever means fewer documents to process for the Ranker, which can speed up the pipeline.\n:::\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/rankers/transformerssimilarityranker.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"TransformersSimilarityRanker\"\nid: transformerssimilarityranker\nslug: \"/transformerssimilarityranker\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to rank documents based on their similarity to the query.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`ExtractiveReader` locates and extracts answers to a given query from the document text. It's used in extractive QA systems where you want to know exactly where the answer is located within the document. It's usually coupled with a Retriever that precedes it, but you can also use it with other components that fetch documents.\n\nReaders assign a _probability_ to answers. This score ranges from 0 to 1, indicating how well the results the Reader returned match the query. Probability closest to 1 means the model has high confidence in the answer's relevance. The Reader sorts the answers based on their probability scores, with higher probability listed first. You can limit the number of answers the Reader returns in the optional `top_k` parameter.\n\nYou can use the probability to set the quality expectations for your system. To do that, use the `confidence_score` parameter of the Reader to set a minimum probability threshold for answers. For example, setting `confidence_threshold` to `0.7` means only answers with a probability higher than 0.7 will be returned.\n\nBy default, the Reader includes a scenario where no answer to the query is found in the document text (`no_answer=True`). In this case, it returns an additional `ExtractedAnswer` with no text and the probability that none of the `top_k` answers are correct. For example, if `top_k=4` the system will return four answers and an additional empty one. Each answer has a probability assigned. If the empty answer has a probability of 0.5, it means that's the probability that none of the returned answers is correct. To receive only the actual top_k answers, set the `no_answer` parameter to `False` when initializing the component.\n\n### Models\n\nHere are the models that we recommend for using with `ExtractiveReader`:\n\n| | | |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Model URL | Description | Language |\n| [deepset/roberta-base-squad2-distilled](https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-base-squad2-distilled) (default) | A distilled model, relatively fast and with good performance. | English |\n| [deepset/roberta-large-squad2](https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-large-squad2) | A large model with good performance.

The Reader gets the query and the documents at runtime. It should return two answers and an additional third answer with no text and the probability that the `top_k` answers are incorrect.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.readers import ExtractiveReader\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\"),\n Document(content=\"Berlin is the capital of Germany.\"),\n]\n\nreader = ExtractiveReader()\n\nreader.run(query=\"What is the capital of France?\", documents=docs, top_k=2)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that retrieves a document from an `InMemoryDocumentStore` based on keyword search (using `InMemoryBM25Retriever`).

\n\n## Overview\n\n`AstraEmbeddingRetriever` compares the query and document embeddings and fetches the documents most relevant to the query from the [`AstraDocumentStore`](../../document-stores/astradocumentstore.mdx) based on the outcome.\n\nWhen using the `AstraEmbeddingRetriever` in your NLP system, make sure it has the query and document embeddings available. You can do so by adding a Document Embedder to your indexing pipeline and a Text Embedder to your query pipeline.\n\nIn addition to the `query_embedding`, the `AstraEmbeddingRetriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\n### Setup and installation\n\nOnce you have an AstraDB account and have created a database, install the `astra-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install astra-haystack\n```\n\nFrom the configuration in AstraDB’s web UI, you need the database ID and a generated token.\n\nYou will additionally need a collection name and a namespace. When you create the collection name, you also need to set the embedding dimensions and the similarity metric. The namespace organizes data in a database and is called a keyspace in Apache Cassandra.\n\nThen, optionally, install sentence-transformers as well to run the example below:\n\n```shell\npip install sentence-transformers\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nWe strongly encourage passing authentication data through environment variables: make sure to populate the environment variables `ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT` and `ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN` before running the following example.\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nUse this Retriever in a query pipeline like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.astra import AstraEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.astra import AstraDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = AstraDocumentStore()\n\nmodel = \"sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2\"\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model=model)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n documents_with_embeddings.get(\"documents\"),\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.SKIP,\n)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"text_embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=model),\n)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n AstraEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"How many languages are there?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n```\n\nThe example output would be:\n\n```python\nDocument(id=cfe93bc1c274908801e6670440bf2bbba54fad792770d57421f85ffa2a4fcc94, content: 'There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.', score: 0.8929937, embedding: vector of size 768)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Using AstraDB as a data store in your Haystack pipelines](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/astradb_haystack_integration)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/automergingretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AutoMergingRetriever\"\nid: automergingretriever\nslug: \"/automergingretriever\"\ndescription: \"Use AutoMergingRetriever to improve search results by returning complete parent documents instead of fragmented chunks when multiple related pieces match a query.\"\n---\n\n# AutoMergingRetriever\n\nUse AutoMergingRetriever to improve search results by returning complete parent documents instead of fragmented chunks when multiple related pieces match a query.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `AutoMergingRetriever` is a component that works with a hierarchical document structure. It returns the parent documents instead of individual leaf documents when a certain threshold is met.\n\nThis can be particularly useful when working with paragraphs split into multiple chunks. When several chunks from the same paragraph match your query, the complete paragraph often provides more context and value than the individual pieces alone.\n\nHere is how this Retriever works:\n\n1. It requires documents to be organized in a tree structure, with leaf nodes stored in a document index - see [`HierarchicalDocumentSplitter`](../preprocessors/hierarchicaldocumentsplitter.mdx) documentation.\n2. When searching, it counts how many leaf documents under the same parent match your query.\n3. If this count exceeds your defined threshold, it returns the parent document instead of the individual leaves.\n\nThe `AutoMergingRetriever` can currently be used by the following Document Stores:\n\n- [AstraDocumentStore](../../document-stores/astradocumentstore.mdx)\n- [ElasticsearchDocumentStore](../../document-stores/elasticsearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [OpenSearchDocumentStore](../../document-stores/opensearch-document-store.mdx)\n- [PgvectorDocumentStore](../../document-stores/pgvectordocumentstore.mdx)\n- [QdrantDocumentStore](../../document-stores/qdrant-document-store.mdx)\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.auto_merging_retriever import AutoMergingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\n## create a hierarchical document structure with 3 levels, where the parent document has 3 children\ntext = \"The sun rose early in the morning. It cast a warm glow over the trees. Birds began to sing.\"\noriginal_document = Document(content=text)\nbuilder = HierarchicalDocumentSplitter(block_sizes=[10, 3], split_overlap=0, split_by=\"word\")\ndocs = builder.run([original_document])[\"documents\"]\n\n## store level-1 parent documents and initialize the retriever\ndoc_store_parents = InMemoryDocumentStore()\nfor doc in docs[\"documents\"]:\n if doc.meta[\"children_ids\"] and doc.meta[\"level\"] == 1:\n doc_store_parents.write_documents([doc])\nretriever = AutoMergingRetriever(doc_store_parents, threshold=0.5)\n\n## assume we retrieved 2 leaf docs from the same parent, the parent document should be returned,\n## since it has 3 children and the threshold=0.5, and we retrieved 2 children (2/3 > 0.66(6))\nleaf_docs = [doc for doc in docs[\"documents\"] if not doc.meta[\"children_ids\"]]\ndocs = retriever.run(leaf_docs[4:6])\n>> {'documents': [Document(id=538..),\n>> content: 'warm glow over the trees. Birds began to sing.',\n>> meta: {'block_size': 10, 'parent_id': '835..', 'children_ids': ['c17...', '3ff...', '352...'], 'level': 1, 'source_id': '835...',\n>> 'page_number': 1, 'split_id': 1, 'split_idx_start': 45})]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG Haystack pipeline. It first retrieves leaf-level document chunks using BM25, merges them into higher-level parent documents with `AutoMergingRetriever`, constructs a prompt, and generates an answer using OpenAI's chat model.\n\n```python\nfrom typing import List, Tuple\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack_experimental.components.splitters import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.builders.answer_builder import AnswerBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import AutoMergingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\ndef indexing(\n documents: List[Document],\n) -> Tuple[InMemoryDocumentStore, InMemoryDocumentStore]:\n splitter = HierarchicalDocumentSplitter(\n block_sizes={10, 3},\n split_overlap=0,\n split_by=\"word\",\n )\n docs = splitter.run(documents)\n\n leaf_documents = [doc for doc in docs[\"documents\"] if doc.meta[\"__level\"] == 1]\n leaf_doc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n leaf_doc_store.write_documents(leaf_documents, policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE)\n\n parent_documents = [doc for doc in docs[\"documents\"] if doc.meta[\"__level\"] == 0]\n parent_doc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n parent_doc_store.write_documents(parent_documents, policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE)\n\n return leaf_doc_store, parent_doc_store\n\n\n## Add documents\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\n\nleaf_docs, parent_docs = indexing(docs)\n\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"You are a helpful assistant.\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Given these documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\\n\"\n \"{% for doc in documents %}{{ doc.content }}{% endfor %}\\n\"\n \"Question: {{question}}\\nAnswer:\",\n ),\n]\n\nrag_pipeline = Pipeline()\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=leaf_docs),\n name=\"bm25_retriever\",\n)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=AutoMergingRetriever(parent_docs, threshold=0.6),\n name=\"retriever\",\n)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=prompt_template,\n required_variables={\"question\", \"documents\"},\n ),\n name=\"prompt_builder\",\n)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(instance=OpenAIChatGenerator(), name=\"llm\")\nrag_pipeline.add_component(instance=AnswerBuilder(), name=\"answer_builder\")\n\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"bm25_retriever.documents\", \"retriever.documents\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder.messages\", \"llm.messages\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"answer_builder.replies\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"answer_builder.documents\")\n\nquestion = \"How many languages are there?\"\nresult = rag_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"bm25_retriever\": {\"query\": question},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"question\": question},\n \"answer_builder\": {\"query\": question},\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/azureaisearchbm25retriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"AzureAISearchBM25Retriever\"\nid: azureaisearchbm25retriever\nslug: \"/azureaisearchbm25retriever\"\ndescription: \"A keyword-based Retriever that fetches Documents matching a query from the Azure AI Search Document Store.\"\n---\n\n# AzureAISearchBM25Retriever\n\nA keyword-based Retriever that fetches Documents matching a query from the Azure AI Search Document Store.\n\nA keyword-based Retriever that fetches documents matching a query from the Azure AI Search Document Store.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `AzureAISearchBM25Retriever` is a keyword-based Retriever designed to fetch documents that match a query from an `AzureAISearchDocumentStore`. It uses the BM25 algorithm which calculates a weighted word overlap between the query and the documents to determine their similarity. The Retriever accepts textual query but you can also provide a combination of terms with boolean operators. Some examples of valid queries could be `\"pool\"`, `\"pool spa\"`, and `\"pool spa +airport\"`.\n\nIn addition to the `query`, the `AzureAISearchBM25Retriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\nIf your search index includes a [semantic configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/semantic-how-to-query-request), you can enable semantic ranking to apply it to the Retriever's results. For more details, refer to the [Azure AI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/hybrid-search-how-to-query#semantic-hybrid-search).\n\nIf you want a combination of BM25 and vector retrieval, use the `AzureAISearchHybridRetriever`, which uses both vector search and BM25 search to match documents and query.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Installation\n\nThis integration requires you to have an active Azure subscription with a deployed [Azure AI Search](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/ai-search) service.\n\nTo start using Azure AI search with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install azure-ai-search-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs `AzureAISearchDocumentStore` and indexed documents to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchBM25Retriever,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchDocumentStore,\n)\n\ndocument_store = AzureAISearchDocumentStore(index_name=\"haystack_docs\")\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents=documents)\n\nretriever = AzureAISearchBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nretriever.run(query=\"How many languages are spoken around the world today?\")\n```\n\n### In a RAG pipeline\n\nThe below example shows how to use the `AzureAISearchBM25Retriever` in a RAG pipeline.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `AzureAISearchEmbeddingRetriever` is an embedding-based Retriever compatible with the `AzureAISearchDocumentStore`. It compares the query and document embeddings and fetches the most relevant documents from the `AzureAISearchDocumentStore` based on the outcome.\n\nThe query needs to be embedded before being passed to this component. For example, you could use a Text [Embedder](../embedders.mdx) component.\n\nBy default, the `AzureAISearchDocumentStore` uses the [HNSW algorithm](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/vector-search-overview#nearest-neighbors-search) with cosine similarity to handle vector searches. The vector configuration is set during the initialization of the document store and can be customized by providing the `vector_search_configuration` parameter.\n\nIn addition to the `query_embedding`, the `AzureAISearchEmbeddingRetriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\n:::info Semantic Ranking\n\nThe semantic ranking capability of Azure AI Search is not available for vector retrieval. To include semantic ranking in your retrieval process, use the [`AzureAISearchBM25Retriever`](azureaisearchbm25retriever.mdx) or [`AzureAISearchHybridRetriever`](azureaisearchhybridretriever.mdx).

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `AzureAISearchHybridRetriever` combines vector retrieval and BM25 text search to fetch relevant documents from the `AzureAISearchDocumentStore`. It processes both textual (keyword) queries and query embeddings in a single request, executing all subqueries in parallel. The results are merged and reordered using [Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/hybrid-search-ranking) to create a unified result set.\n\nBesides the `query` and `query_embedding`, the `AzureAISearchHybridRetriever` accepts optional parameters such as `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to retrieve) and `filters` to refine the search. Additional keyword arguments can also be passed during initialization for further customization.\n\nIf your search index includes a [semantic configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/semantic-how-to-query-request), you can enable semantic ranking to apply it to the Retriever's results. For more details, refer to the [Azure AI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/hybrid-search-how-to-query#semantic-hybrid-search).\n\nFor purely keyword-based retrieval, you can use `AzureAISearchBM25Retriever`, and for embedding-based retrieval, `AzureAISearchEmbeddingRetriever` is available.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Installation\n\nThis integration requires you to have an active Azure subscription with a deployed [Azure AI Search](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/ai-search) service.\n\nTo start using Azure AI search with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install azure-ai-search-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs `AzureAISearchDocumentStore` and indexed documents to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchHybridRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchDocumentStore,\n)\n\ndocument_store = AzureAISearchDocumentStore(index_name=\"haystack_docs\")\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents=documents)\n\nretriever = AzureAISearchHybridRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n## fake embeddings to keep the example simple\nretriever.run(\n query=\"How many languages are spoken around the world today?\",\n query_embedding=[0.1] * 384,\n)\n```\n\n### In a RAG pipeline\n\nThe following example demonstrates using the `AzureAISearchHybridRetriever` in a pipeline. An indexing pipeline is responsible for indexing and storing documents with embeddings in the `AzureAISearchDocumentStore`, while the query pipeline uses hybrid retrieval to fetch relevant documents based on a given query.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchHybridRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.azure_ai_search import (\n AzureAISearchDocumentStore,\n)\n\ndocument_store = AzureAISearchDocumentStore(index_name=\"hybrid-retrieval-example\")\n\nmodel = \"sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2\"\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"\"\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a\n high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\"\"\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"\"\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and\n San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\"\"\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model=model)\n\n## Indexing Pipeline\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(instance=document_embedder, name=\"doc_embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),\n name=\"doc_writer\",\n)\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"doc_embedder\", \"doc_writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"doc_embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\n## Query Pipeline\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"text_embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=model),\n)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n AzureAISearchHybridRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"How many languages are there?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run(\n {\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}, \"retriever\": {\"query\": query}},\n)\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/chromaembeddingretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ChromaEmbeddingRetriever\"\nid: chromaembeddingretriever\nslug: \"/chromaembeddingretriever\"\ndescription: \"This is an embedding Retriever compatible with the Chroma Document Store.\"\n---\n\n# ChromaEmbeddingRetriever\n\nThis is an embedding Retriever compatible with the Chroma Document Store.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `ChromaEmbeddingRetriever` is an embedding-based Retriever compatible with the `ChromaDocumentStore`. It compares the query and document embeddings and fetches the documents most relevant to the query from the `ChromaDocumentStore` based on the outcome.\n\nThe query needs to be embedded before being passed to this component. For example, you could use a text [embedder](../embedders.mdx) component.\n\nIn addition to the `query_embedding`, the `ChromaEmbeddingRetriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\n### Usage\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs the `ChromaDocumentStore` and indexed documents to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.chroma import ChromaDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.chroma import ChromaEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = ChromaDocumentStore()\n\nretriever = ChromaEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n\n## example run query\nretriever.run(query_embedding=[0.1] * 384)\n```\n\n#### In a pipeline\n\nHere is how you could use the `ChromaEmbeddingRetriever` in a pipeline. In this example, you would create two pipelines: an indexing one and a querying one.\n\nIn the indexing pipeline, the documents are passed to the Document Embedder and then written into the document Store.\n\nThen, in the querying pipeline, we use a text embedder to get the vector representation of the input query that will be then passed to the `ChromaEmbeddingRetriever` to get the results.\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\n## Note: the following requires a \"pip install sentence-transformers\"\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.chroma import ChromaDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.chroma import ChromaEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer\n\n## Chroma is used in-memory so we use the same instances in the two pipelines below\ndocument_store = ChromaDocumentStore()\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"This contains variable declarations\", meta={\"title\": \"one\"}),\n Document(\n content=\"This contains another sort of variable declarations\",\n meta={\"title\": \"two\"},\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"This has nothing to do with variable declarations\",\n meta={\"title\": \"three\"},\n ),\n Document(content=\"A random doc\", meta={\"title\": \"four\"}),\n]\n\nindexing = Pipeline()\nindexing.add_component(\"embedder\", SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder())\nindexing.add_component(\"writer\", DocumentWriter(document_store))\nindexing.connect(\"embedder.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\nindexing.run({\"embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\nquerying = Pipeline()\nquerying.add_component(\"query_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\nquerying.add_component(\"retriever\", ChromaEmbeddingRetriever(document_store))\nquerying.connect(\"query_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\nresults = querying.run({\"query_embedder\": {\"text\": \"Variable declarations\"}})\n\nfor d in results[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"]:\n print(d.meta, d.score)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Use Chroma for RAG and Indexing](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/chroma-indexing-and-rag-examples)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/chromaqueryretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ChromaQueryTextRetriever\"\nid: chromaqueryretriever\nslug: \"/chromaqueryretriever\"\ndescription: \"This is a a Retriever compatible with the Chroma Document Store.\"\n---\n\n# ChromaQueryTextRetriever\n\nThis is a a Retriever compatible with the Chroma Document Store.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`ElasticsearchBM25Retriever` is a keyword-based Retriever that fetches Documents matching a query from an `ElasticsearchDocumentStore`. It determines the similarity between Documents and the query based on the BM25 algorithm, which computes a weighted word overlap between the two strings.\n\nSince the `ElasticsearchBM25Retriever` matches strings based on word overlap, it’s often used to find exact matches to names of persons or products, IDs, or well-defined error messages. The BM25 algorithm is very lightweight and simple. Nevertheless, it can be hard to beat with more complex embedding-based approaches on out-of-domain data.\n\nIn addition to the `query`, the `ElasticsearchBM25Retriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of Documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\nWhen initializing Retriever, you can also adjust how [inexact fuzzy matching](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/common-options.html#fuzziness) is performed, using the `fuzziness` parameter.\n\nIf you want a semantic match between a query and documents, you can use `ElasticsearchEmbeddingRetriever`, which uses vectors created by embedding models to retrieve relevant information.\n\n## Installation\n\n[Install](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html) Elasticsearch and then [start](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/starting-elasticsearch.html) an instance. Haystack supports Elasticsearch 8.\n\nIf you have Docker set up, we recommend pulling the Docker image and running it.\n\n```shell\ndocker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.11.1\ndocker run -p 9200:9200 -e \"discovery.type=single-node\" -e \"ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m\" -e \"xpack.security.enabled=false\" elasticsearch:8.11.1\n```\n\nAs an alternative, you can go to [Elasticsearch integration GitHub](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/elasticsearch) and start a Docker container running Elasticsearch using the provided `docker-compose.yml`:\n\n```shell\ndocker compose up\n```\n\nOnce you have a running Elasticsearch instance, install the `elasticsearch-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install elasticsearch-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `ElasticsearchEmbeddingRetriever` is an embedding-based Retriever compatible with the `ElasticsearchDocumentStore`. It compares the query and Document embeddings and fetches the Documents most relevant to the query from the `ElasticsearchDocumentStore` based on the outcome.\n\nWhen using the `ElasticsearchEmbeddingRetriever` in your NLP system, ensure it has the query and Document embeddings available. You can do so by adding a Document Embedder to your indexing pipeline and a Text Embedder to your query pipeline.\n\nIn addition to the `query_embedding`, the `ElasticsearchEmbeddingRetriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of Documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\nWhen initializing Retriever, you can also set `num_candidates`: the number of approximate nearest neighbor candidates on each shard. It's an advanced setting you can read more about in the [Elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/knn-search.html#tune-approximate-knn-for-speed-accuracy).\n\nThe `embedding_similarity_function` to use for embedding retrieval must be defined when the corresponding `ElasticsearchDocumentStore` is initialized.\n\n## Installation\n\n[Install](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html) Elasticsearch and then [start](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/starting-elasticsearch.html) an instance.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `FAISSEmbeddingRetriever` is an embedding-based Retriever that queries a `FAISSDocumentStore`. It compares the query embedding to document embeddings stored in FAISS and returns the most similar documents.\n\nThis Retriever expects precomputed embeddings in the Document Store and a query embedding at runtime. You can generate them with a Document Embedder in your indexing pipeline and a Text Embedder in your query pipeline.\n\nIn addition to `query_embedding`, you can pass:\n\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of documents to return.\n- `filters`: Metadata filters to restrict retrieved documents.\n\nYou can also configure default filters and `filter_policy` at initialization.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.faiss import FAISSDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.faiss import FAISSEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = FAISSDocumentStore(embedding_dim=768)\nretriever = FAISSEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=5)\n\n# Example query embedding\nresult = retriever.run(query_embedding=[0.1] * 768)\nprint(result[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.faiss import FAISSDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.faiss import FAISSEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = FAISSDocumentStore(embedding_dim=768)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of intelligence.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain places, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)[\"documents\"]\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n documents_with_embeddings,\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE,\n)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n FAISSEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"How many languages are there?\"\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/filterretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"FilterRetriever\"\nid: filterretriever\nslug: \"/filterretriever\"\ndescription: \"Use this Retriever with any Document Store to get the Documents that match specific filters.\"\n---\n\n# FilterRetriever\n\nUse this Retriever with any Document Store to get the Documents that match specific filters.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`FilterRetriever` retrieves Documents that match the provided filters.\n\nIt’s a special kind of Retriever – it can work with all Document Stores instead of being specialized to work with only one.\n\nHowever, as every other Retriever, it needs some Document Store at initialization time, and it will perform filtering on the content of that instance only.\n\nTherefore, it can be used as any other Retriever in a Pipeline.\n\nPay attention when using `FilterRetriever` on a Document Store that contains many Documents, as `FilterRetriever` will return all documents that match the filters. The `run` command with no filters can easily overwhelm other components in the Pipeline (for example, Generators):\n\n```python\nfilter_retriever.run({})\n```\n\nAnother thing to note is that `FilterRetriever` does not score your Documents or rank them in any way. If you need to rank the Documents by similarity to a query, consider using Ranker components.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import FilterRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Python is a popular programming language\", meta={\"lang\": \"en\"}),\n Document(\n content=\"python ist eine beliebte Programmiersprache\",\n meta={\"lang\": \"de\"},\n ),\n]\n\ndoc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndoc_store.write_documents(docs)\nretriever = FilterRetriever(doc_store)\nresult = retriever.run(filters={\"field\": \"lang\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"en\"})\n\nassert \"documents\" in result\nassert len(result[\"documents\"]) == 1\nassert result[\"documents\"][0].content == \"Python is a popular programming language\"\n```\n\n### In a RAG pipeline\n\nSet your `OPENAI_API_KEY` as an environment variable and then run the following code:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.filter_retriever import FilterRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders.answer_builder import AnswerBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\n\nimport os\napi_key = os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocuments = [\n\t\tDocument(content=\"Mark lives in Berlin.\", meta={\"year\": 2018}),\n\t\tDocument(content=\"Mark lives in Paris.\", meta={\"year\": 2021}),\n\t\tDocument(content=\"Mark is Danish.\", meta={\"year\": 2021}),\n\t\tDocument(content=\"Mark lives in New York.\", meta={\"year\": 2023}),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents=documents)\n\n## Create a RAG query pipeline\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n \\nQuestion: {{question}}\n \\nAnswer:\n \"\"\"\n\nrag_pipeline = Pipeline()\nrag_pipeline.add_component(name=\"retriever\", instance=FilterRetriever(document_store=document_store))\nrag_pipeline.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\nrag_pipeline.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=api_key), name=\"llm\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nresult = rag_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"retriever\": {\"filters\": {\"field\": \"year\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": 2021}},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"question\": \"Where does Mark live?\"},\n }\n)\nprint(result['answer_builder']['answers'][0])`\n```\n\nHere’s an example output you might get:\n\n```\nAccording to the provided documents, Mark lives in Paris.\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/inmemorybm25retriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"InMemoryBM25Retriever\"\nid: inmemorybm25retriever\nslug: \"/inmemorybm25retriever\"\ndescription: \"A keyword-based Retriever compatible with InMemoryDocumentStore.\"\n---\n\n# InMemoryBM25Retriever\n\nA keyword-based Retriever compatible with InMemoryDocumentStore.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`InMemoryBM25Retriever` is a keyword-based Retriever that fetches Documents matching a query from a temporary in-memory database. It determines the similarity between Documents and the query based on the BM25 algorithm, which computes a weighted word overlap between the two strings.\n\nSince the `InMemoryBM25Retriever` matches strings based on word overlap, it’s often used to find exact matches to names of persons or products, IDs, or well-defined error messages. The BM25 algorithm is very lightweight and simple. Nevertheless, it can be hard to beat with more complex embedding-based approaches on out-of-domain data.\n\nIn addition to the `query`, the `InMemoryBM25Retriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of Documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\nSome relevant parameters that impact the BM25 retrieval must be defined when the corresponding `InMemoryDocumentStore` is initialized: these include the specific BM25 algorithm and its parameters.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents=documents)\n\nretriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\nretriever.run(query=\"How many languages are spoken around the world today?\")\n```\n\n### In a Pipeline\n\n#### In a RAG Pipeline\n\nHere's an example of the Retriever in a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders.answer_builder import AnswerBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import

),\n]\nrag_pipeline.get_component(\"retriever\").document_store.write_documents(documents)\n\n## Run the pipeline\nquestion = \"How many languages are there?\"\nresult = rag_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": question},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"question\": question},\n \"answer_builder\": {\"query\": question},\n

Check out our [MongoDB Atlas](/reference/integrations-mongodb-atlas) API Reference for more details on all parameters.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using MongoDB Atlas with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install mongodb-atlas-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nThe Retriever needs an instance of `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` and indexed documents to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import (\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.mongodb_atlas import (\n MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever,\n)\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(\n database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n)\nretriever = MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever(document_store=store)\n\nresults = retriever.run(query=\"Your search query\")\nprint(results[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n### In a Pipeline\n\nHere's a Hybrid Retrieval pipeline example that makes use of both available MongoDB Atlas Retrievers:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import DocumentJoiner\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import (\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.mongodb_atlas import (\n MongoDBAtlasEmbeddingRetriever,\n MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever,\n)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"My name is Jean and I live in Paris.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Mark and I live in Berlin.\"),\n Document(content=\"My name is Giorgio and I live in Rome.\"),\n Document(content=\"Python is a programming language popular for data science.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"MongoDB Atlas offers full-text search and vector search capabilities.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_store = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(\n database_name=\"haystack_test\",\n collection_name=\"test_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"test_vector_search_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"test_full_text_search_index\",\n)\n\n## Clean out any old data so this example is repeatable\nprint(f\"Clearing collection {document_store.collection_name} …\")\ndocument_store.collection.delete_many({})\n\ningest_pipe = Pipeline()\n\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model=\"intfloat/e5-base-v2\")\ningest_pipe.add_component(instance=doc_embedder, name=\"doc_embedder\")\n\ndoc_writer = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store, policy=DuplicatePolicy.SKIP)\ningest_pipe.add_component(instance=doc_writer, name=\"doc_writer\")\ningest_pipe.connect(\"doc_embedder.documents\", \"doc_writer.documents\")\n\nprint(f\"Running ingestion on {len(documents)} in-memory docs …\")\ningest_pipe.run({\"doc_embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n\nquery_pipe = Pipeline()\n\ntext_embedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=\"intfloat/e5-base-v2\")\nquery_pipe.add_component(instance=text_embedder, name=\"text_embedder\")\n\nembed_retriever = MongoDBAtlasEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=3)\nquery_pipe.add_component(instance=embed_retriever, name=\"embedding_retriever\")\nquery_pipe.connect(\"text_embedder\", \"embedding_retriever\")\n\n## (c) full-text retriever\nft_retriever = MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=3)\nquery_pipe.add_component(instance=ft_retriever, name=\"full_text_retriever\")\n\njoiner = DocumentJoiner(join_mode=\"reciprocal_rank_fusion\", top_k=3)\nquery_pipe.add_component(instance=joiner, name=\"joiner\")\n\nquery_pipe.connect(\"embedding_retriever\", \"joiner\")\nquery_pipe.connect(\"full_text_retriever\", \"joiner\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Mark live?\"\nprint(f\"Running hybrid retrieval for query: '{question}'\")\noutput = query_pipe.run(\n {\n \"text_embedder\": {\"text\": question},\n \"full_text_retriever\": {\"query\": question},\n },\n)\n\nprint(\"\\nFinal fused documents:\")\nfor doc in output[\"joiner\"][\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"- {doc.content}\")\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/multiqueryembeddingretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever\"\nid: multiqueryembeddingretriever\nslug: \"/multiqueryembeddingretriever\"\ndescription: \"Retrieves documents using multiple queries in parallel with an embedding-based Retriever.\"\n---\n\nimport Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';\nimport TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';\n\n# MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever\n\nRetrieves documents using multiple queries in parallel with an embedding-based Retriever.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever` improves retrieval recall by searching for documents using multiple queries in parallel. Each query is converted to an embedding using a Text Embedder, and an embedding-based Retriever fetches relevant documents.\n\nThe component:\n- Processes queries in parallel using a thread pool for better performance\n- Automatically deduplicates results based on document content\n- Sorts the final results by relevance score\n\nThis Retriever is particularly effective when combined with [`QueryExpander`](../query/queryexpander.mdx), which generates multiple query variations from a single user query. By searching with these variations, you can find documents that might not match the original query phrasing but are still relevant.\n\nUse `MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever` when your documents use different words than your users' queries, or when you want to find more diverse results in RAG pipelines. Running multiple queries takes more time, but you can speed it up by increasing `max_workers` to run queries in parallel.\n\n:::tip When to use a `MultiQueryTextRetriever` instead\n\nIf you need exact keyword matching and don't want to use embeddings, use [`MultiQueryTextRetriever`](multiquerytextretriever.mdx) instead. It works with text-based Retrievers like `InMemoryBM25Retriever` and is better when synonyms can be generated through query expansion.\n:::\n\n### Passing Additional Retriever Parameters\n\nYou can pass additional parameters to the underlying Retriever using `retriever_kwargs`:\n\n```python\nresult = multi_query_retriever.run(\n queries=[\"renewable energy\", \"sustainable power\"],\n retriever_kwargs={\"top_k\": 5},\n)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThis pipeline takes a single query \"sustainable power generation\" and expands it into multiple variations using an LLM (for example: \"renewable energy sources\", \"green electricity\", \"clean power\"). The Retriever then converts each variation to an embedding and searches for similar documents. This way, documents about \"solar energy\" or \"wind energy\" can be found even though they don't contain the words \"sustainable power generation\".\n\nBefore running the pipeline, documents must be embedded using a Document Embedder and stored in the Document Store.\n\n\n\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import (\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever,\n MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.query import QueryExpander\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n content=\"Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Solar energy is a type of green energy that is harnessed from the sun.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Wind energy is another type of green energy that is generated by wind turbines.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Geothermal energy is heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndoc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = doc_embedder.run(documents)[\"documents\"]\ndoc_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"query_expander\", QueryExpander(n_expansions=3))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever(\n retriever=InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=doc_store, top_k=2),\n query_embedder=SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n ),\n ),\n)\npipeline.connect(\"query_expander.queries\", \"retriever.queries\")\n\nresult = pipeline.run({\"query_expander\": {\"query\": \"sustainable power generation\"}})\n\nfor doc in result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"Score: {doc.score:.3f} | {doc.content}\")\n```\n\n\n\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n query_expander:\n type: haystack.components.query.query_expander.QueryExpander\n init_parameters:\n n_expansions: 3\n retriever:\n type: haystack.components.retrievers.multi_query_embedding_retriever.MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever\n init_parameters:\n retriever:\n type: haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory.embedding_retriever.InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n init_parameters:\n document_store:\n type: haystack.document_stores.in_memory.document_store.InMemoryDocumentStore\n init_parameters: {}\n top_k: 2\n query_embedder:\n type: haystack.components.embedders.sentence_transformers_text_embedder.SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\n init_parameters:\n model: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\n\nconnections:\n - sender: query_expander.queries\n receiver: retriever.queries\n```\n\n\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/multiquerytextretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MultiQueryTextRetriever\"\nid: multiquerytextretriever\nslug: \"/multiquerytextretriever\"\ndescription: \"Retrieves documents using multiple queries in parallel with a text-based Retriever.\"\n---\n\nimport Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';\nimport TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';\n\n# MultiQueryTextRetriever\n\nRetrieves documents using multiple queries in parallel with a text-based Retriever.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`MultiQueryTextRetriever` improves retrieval recall by searching for documents using multiple queries in parallel. It wraps a text-based Retriever (such as `InMemoryBM25Retriever`) and processes multiple query strings simultaneously using a thread pool.\n\nThe component:\n- Processes queries in parallel for better performance\n- Automatically deduplicates results based on document content\n- Sorts the final results by relevance score\n\nThis Retriever is particularly effective when combined with [`QueryExpander`](../query/queryexpander.mdx), which generates multiple query variations from a single user query. By searching with these variations, you can find documents that use different keywords than the original query.\n\nUse `MultiQueryTextRetriever` when your documents use different words than your users' queries, or when you want to use query expansion with keyword-based search (BM25). Running multiple queries takes more time, but you can speed it up by increasing `max_workers` to run queries in parallel.\n\n:::tip When to use `MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever` instead\n\nIf you need semantic search where meaning matters more than exact keyword matches, use [`MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever`](multiqueryembeddingretriever.mdx) instead. It works with embedding-based Retrievers and requires a Text Embedder.\n:::\n\n### Passing Additional Retriever Parameters\n\nYou can pass additional parameters to the underlying Retriever using `retriever_kwargs`:\n\n```python\nresult = multiquery_retriever.run(\n queries=[\"renewable energy\", \"sustainable power\"],\n retriever_kwargs={\"top_k\": 5},\n)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nIn this example, we pass three queries manually to the Retriever: \"renewable energy\", \"geothermal\", and \"hydropower\". The Retriever runs a BM25 search for each query (retrieving up to 2 documents per query), then combines all results, removes duplicates, and sorts them by score.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import (\n InMemoryBM25Retriever,\n MultiQueryTextRetriever,\n)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n content=\"Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Solar energy is a type of green energy that is harnessed from the sun.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Wind energy is another type of green energy that is generated by wind turbines.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Hydropower is a form of renewable energy using the flow of water to generate electricity.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Geothermal energy is heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents)\n\nretriever = MultiQueryTextRetriever(\n retriever=InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=2),\n)\n\nresults = retriever.run(queries=[\"renewable energy\", \"geothermal\", \"hydropower\"])\n\nfor doc in results[\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"Content: {doc.content}, Score: {doc.score:.4f}\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline with QueryExpander\n\nThis pipeline takes a single query \"sustainable power\" and expands it into multiple variations using an LLM (for example: \"renewable energy sources\", \"green electricity\", \"clean power\"). The Retriever then searches for each variation and combines the results. This way, documents about \"solar energy\" or \"hydropower\" can be found even though they don't contain the words \"sustainable power\".\n\n\n\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.query import QueryExpander\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import (\n InMemoryBM25Retriever,\n MultiQueryTextRetriever,\n)\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n content=\"Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Solar energy is a type of green energy that is harnessed from the sun.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Wind energy is another type of green energy that is generated by wind turbines.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Hydropower is a form of renewable energy using the flow of water to generate electricity.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Geothermal energy is heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"query_expander\", QueryExpander(n_expansions=3))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n MultiQueryTextRetriever(\n retriever=InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store, top_k=2),\n ),\n)\npipeline.connect(\"query_expander.queries\", \"retriever.queries\")\n\nresult = pipeline.run({\"query_expander\": {\"query\": \"sustainable power\"}})\n\nfor doc in result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"]:\n print(f\"Score: {doc.score:.3f} | {doc.content}\")\n```\n\n\n\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n query_expander:\n type: haystack.components.query.query_expander.QueryExpander\n init_parameters:\n n_expansions: 3\n retriever:\n type: haystack.components.retrievers.multi_query_text_retriever.MultiQueryTextRetriever\n init_parameters:\n retriever:\n type: haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory.bm25_retriever.InMemoryBM25Retriever\n init_parameters:\n document_store:\n type: haystack.document_stores.in_memory.document_store.InMemoryDocumentStore\n init_parameters: {}\n top_k: 2\n\nconnections:\n - sender: query_expander.queries\n receiver: retriever.queries\n```\n\n\n\n\n### In a RAG pipeline\n\nThis RAG pipeline answers questions using query expansion. When a user asks \"What types of energy come from natural sources?\", the pipeline:\n\n1. Expands the question into multiple search queries using an LLM\n2. Retrieves relevant documents for each query variation\n3. Builds a prompt containing the retrieved documents and the original question\n4.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`OpenSearchBM25Retriever` is a keyword-based Retriever that fetches Documents matching a query from an `OpenSearchDocumentStore`. It determines the similarity between Documents and the query based on the BM25 algorithm, which computes a weighted word overlap between the two strings.\n\nSince the `OpenSearchBM25Retriever` matches strings based on word overlap, it’s often used to find exact matches to names of persons or products, IDs, or well-defined error messages. The BM25 algorithm is very lightweight and simple. Nevertheless, it can be hard to beat with more complex embedding-based approaches on out-of-domain data.\n\nIn addition to the `query`, the `OpenSearchBM25Retriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of Documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\nYou can adjust how [inexact fuzzy matching](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/common-options.html#fuzziness) is performed, using the `fuzziness` parameter.\nIt is also possible to specify if all terms in the query must match using the `all_terms_must_match` parameter, which defaults to `False`.\n\nIf you want more flexible matching of a query to Documents, you can use the `OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever`, which uses vectors created by LLMs to retrieve relevant information.\n\n### Setup and installation\n\n[Install](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/index/) and run an OpenSearch instance.\n\nIf you have Docker set up, we recommend pulling the Docker image and running it.\n\n```shell\ndocker pull opensearchproject/opensearch:2.11.0\ndocker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9600:9600 -e \"discovery.type=single-node\" -e \"ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m\" opensearchproject/opensearch:2.11.0\n```\n\nAs an alternative, you can go to [OpenSearch integration GitHub](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/opensearch) and start a Docker container running OpenSearch using the provided `docker-compose.yml`:\n\n```shell\ndocker compose up\n```\n\nOnce you have a running OpenSearch instance, install the `opensearch-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install opensearch-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs the `OpensearchDocumentStore` and indexed Documents to run.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever` is an embedding-based Retriever compatible with the `OpenSearchDocumentStore`. It compares the query and Document embeddings and fetches the Documents most relevant to the query from the `OpenSearchDocumentStore` based on the outcome.\n\nWhen using the `OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever` in your NLP system, make sure it has the query and Document embeddings available. You can do so by adding a Document Embedder to your indexing pipeline and a Text Embedder to your query pipeline.\n\nIn addition to the `query_embedding`, the `OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of Documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\nThe `embedding_dim` for storing and retrieving embeddings must be defined when the corresponding `OpenSearchDocumentStore` is initialized.\n\n### Setup and installation\n\n[Install](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/index/) and run an OpenSearch instance.\n\nIf you have Docker set up, we recommend pulling the Docker image and running it.\n\n```shell\ndocker pull opensearchproject/opensearch:2.11.0\ndocker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9600:9600 -e \"discovery.type=single-node\" -e \"ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m\" opensearchproject/opensearch:2.11.0\n```\n\nAs an alternative, you can go to [OpenSearch integration GitHub](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/opensearch) and start a Docker container running OpenSearch using the provided `docker-compose.yml`:\n\n```shell\ndocker compose up\n```\n\nOnce you have a running OpenSearch instance, install the `opensearch-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install opensearch-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nUse this Retriever in a query Pipeline like this:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import (\n OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\n\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\ndocument_store = OpenSearchDocumentStore(\n hosts=\"http://localhost:9200\",\n use_ssl=True,\n verify_certs=False,\n http_auth=(\"admin\", \"admin\"),\n)\n\nmodel = \"sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2\"\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model=model)\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n documents_with_embeddings.get(\"documents\"),\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.SKIP,\n)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"text_embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=model),\n)\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"How many languages are there?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run({\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n```\n\nThe example output would be:\n\n```python\nDocument(id=cfe93bc1c274908801e6670440bf2bbba54fad792770d57421f85ffa2a4fcc94, content: 'There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.', score: 0.70026743, embedding: vector of size 768)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [PDF-Based Question Answering with Amazon Bedrock and Haystack](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/amazon_bedrock_for_documentation_qa)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/opensearchhybridretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearchHybridRetriever\"\nid: opensearchhybridretriever\nslug: \"/opensearchhybridretriever\"\ndescription: \"This is a [SuperComponent](../../concepts/components/supercomponents.mdx) that implements a Hybrid Retriever in a single component, relying on OpenSearch as the backend Document Store.\"\n---\n\n# OpenSearchHybridRetriever\n\nThis is a [SuperComponent](../../concepts/components/supercomponents.mdx) that implements a Hybrid Retriever in a single component, relying on OpenSearch as the backend Document Store.\n\nA Hybrid Retriever uses both traditional keyword-based search (such as BM25) and embedding-based search to retrieve documents, combining the strengths of both approaches.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `OpenSearchHybridRetriever` combines two retrieval methods:\n\n1. **BM25 Retrieval**: A keyword-based search that uses the BM25 algorithm to find documents based on term frequency and inverse document frequency. It's based on the [`OpenSearchBM25Retriever`](opensearchbm25retriever.mdx) component and is suitable for traditional keyword-based search.\n2. **Embedding-based Retrieval**: A semantic search that uses vector similarity to find documents that are semantically similar to the query. It's based on the [`OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever`](opensearchembeddingretriever.mdx) component and is suitable for semantic search.\n\nThe component automatically handles:\n\n- Converting the query into an embedding using the provided embedded,\n- Running both retrieval methods in parallel,\n- Merging and re-ranking the results using the specified join mode.\n\n### Setup and Installation\n\n```shell\npip install opensearch-haystack\n```\n\n### Optional Parameters\n\nThis Retriever accepts various optional parameters. You can verify the most up-to-date list of parameters in our [API Reference](/reference/integrations-opensearch#opensearchhybridretriever).\n\nYou can pass additional parameters to the underlying components using the `bm25_retriever` and `embedding_retriever` dictionaries.\nThe `DocumentJoiner` parameters are all exposed on the `OpenSearchHybridRetriever` class, so you can set them directly.\n\nHere's an example:\n\n```python\nretriever = OpenSearchHybridRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n embedder=embedder,\n bm25_retriever={\"raise_on_failure\": True},\n embedding_retriever={\"raise_on_failure\": False},\n)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs the `OpensearchDocumentStore` populated with documents to run. You can’t use it on its own.\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere's a basic example of how to use the `OpenSearchHybridRetriever`:\n\nYou can use the following command to run OpenSearch locally using Docker. Make sure you have Docker installed and running on your machine. Note that this example disables the security plugin for simplicity. In a production environment, you should enable security features.\n\n```dockerfile\ndocker run -d \\\\\n --name opensearch-nosec \\\\\n -p 9200:9200 \\\\\n -p 9600:9600 \\\\\n -e \"discovery.type=single-node\" \\\\\n -e \"DISABLE_SECURITY_PLUGIN=true\" \\\\\n opensearchproject/opensearch:2.12.0\n```\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder, SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchHybridRetriever\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\n\n## Initialize the document store\ndoc_store = OpenSearchDocumentStore(\n hosts=[\"http://localhost:9200\"],\n index=\"document_store\",\n embedding_dim=384,\n)\n\n## Create some sample documents\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence.\"),\n Document(content=\"Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.\"),\n Document(content=\"Natural language processing is a field of AI.\"),\n Document(content=\"Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning.\"),\n Document(content=\"Supervised learning is a type of machine learning.\"),\n]\n\n## Embed the documents and add them to the document store\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\")\ndocs = doc_embedder.run(docs)\ndoc_store.write_documents(docs['documents'])\n\n## Initialize some haystack text embedder, in this case the SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder\nembedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\")\n\n## Initialize the hybrid retriever\nretriever = OpenSearchHybridRetriever(\n document_store=doc_store,\n embedder=embedder,\n top_k_bm25=3,\n top_k_embedding=3,\n join_mode=\"reciprocal_rank_fusion\"\n)\n\n## Run the retriever\nresults = retriever.run(query=\"What is reinforcement learning?\", filters_bm25=None, filters_embedding=None)\n\n>> results['documents']\n{'documents': [Document(id=..., content: 'Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning.', score: 1.0),\n Document(id=..., content: 'Supervised learning is a type of machine learning.', score: 0.9760624679979518),\n Document(id=..., content: 'Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.', score: 0.4919354838709677),\n Document(id=..., content: 'Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence.', score: 0.4841269841269841)]}\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/pgvectorembeddingretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PgvectorEmbeddingRetriever\"\nid: pgvectorembeddingretriever\nslug: \"/pgvectorembeddingretriever\"\ndescription: \"An embedding-based Retriever compatible with the Pgvector Document Store.\"\n---\n\n# PgvectorEmbeddingRetriever\n\nAn embedding-based Retriever compatible with the Pgvector Document Store.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `PgvectorKeywordRetriever` is a keyword-based Retriever compatible with the `PgvectorDocumentStore`.\n\nThe component uses the `ts_rank_cd` function of PostgreSQL to rank the documents.\nIt considers how often the query terms appear in the document, how close together the terms are in the document, and how important is the part of the document where they occur.\nFor more details, see [Postgres documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch-controls.html#TEXTSEARCH-RANKING).\n\nKeep in mind that, unlike similar components such as `ElasticsearchBM25Retriever`, this Retriever does not apply fuzzy search out of the box, so it’s necessary to carefully formulate the query in order to avoid getting zero results.\n\nIn addition to the `query`, the `PgvectorKeywordRetriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow the search space.\n\n### Installation\n\nTo quickly set up a PostgreSQL database with pgvector, you can use Docker:\n\n```shell\ndocker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres ankane/pgvector\n```\n\nFor more information on how to install pgvector, visit the [pgvector GitHub repository](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector).\n\nInstall the `pgvector-haystack` integration:\n\n```shell\npip install pgvector-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs the `PgvectorDocumentStore` and indexed documents to run.\n\nSet an environment variable `PG_CONN_STR` with the connection string to your PostgreSQL database.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.pgvector import PgvectorDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.pgvector import (\n PgvectorKeywordRetriever,\n)\n\ndocument_store = PgvectorDocumentStore()\nretriever = PgvectorKeywordRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n\nretriever.run(query=\"my nice query\")\n```\n\n### In a RAG pipeline\n\nThe prerequisites necessary for running this code are:\n\n- Set an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY` with your OpenAI API key.\n- Set an environment variable `PG_CONN_STR` with the connection string to your PostgreSQL database.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders.answer_builder import AnswerBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.pgvector import PgvectorDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.pgvector import (\n PgvectorKeywordRetriever,\n)\n\n## Create a RAG query pipeline\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n \\nQuestion: {{question}}\n \\nAnswer:\n \"\"\"\n\ndocument_store = PgvectorDocumentStore(\n language=\"english\", #

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe \"sentence window\" is a retrieval technique that allows for the retrieval of the context around relevant sentences.\n\nDuring indexing, documents are broken into smaller chunks or sentences and indexed. During retrieval, the sentences most relevant to a given query, based on a certain similarity metric, are retrieved.\n\nOnce we have the relevant sentences, we can retrieve neighboring sentences to provide full context. The number of neighboring sentences to retrieve is defined by a fixed number of sentences before and after the relevant sentence.\n\nThis component is meant to be used with other Retrievers, such as the `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`. These Retrievers find relevant sentences by comparing a query against indexed sentences using a similarity metric. Then, the `SentenceWindowRetriever` component retrieves neighboring sentences around the relevant ones by leveraging metadata stored in the `Document` object.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nsplitter = DocumentSplitter(split_length=10, split_overlap=5, split_by=\"word\")\ntext = (\n \"This is a text with some words. There is a second sentence. And there is also a third sentence. \"\n \"It also contains a fourth sentence. And a fifth sentence. And a sixth sentence. And a seventh sentence\"\n)\ndoc = Document(content=text)\n\ndocs = splitter.run([doc])\ndoc_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndoc_store.write_documents(docs[\"documents\"])\n\nretriever = SentenceWindowRetriever(document_store=doc_store, window_size=3)\n```\n\n### In a Pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import SentenceWindowRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nsplitter = DocumentSplitter(split_length=10, split_overlap=5, split_by=\"word\")\ntext = (\n \"This is a text with some words.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`WeaviateBM25Retriever` is a keyword-based Retriever that fetches Documents matching a query from [`WeaviateDocumentStore`](../../document-stores/weaviatedocumentstore.mdx). It determines the similarity between Documents and the query based on the BM25 algorithm, which computes a weighted word overlap between the\ntwo strings.\n\nSince the `WeaviateBM25Retriever` matches strings based on word overlap, it’s often used to find exact matches to names of persons or products, IDs, or well-defined error messages. The BM25 algorithm is very lightweight and simple. Beating it with more complex embedding-based approaches on out-of-domain data can be hard.\n\nIf you want a semantic match between a query and documents, use the [`WeaviateEmbeddingRetriever`](weaviateembeddingretriever.mdx), which uses vectors created by embedding models to retrieve relevant information.\n\n### Parameters\n\nIn addition to the `query`, the `WeaviateBM25Retriever` accepts other optional parameters, including `top_k` (the maximum number of Documents to retrieve) and `filters` to narrow down the search space.\n\n### Usage\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using Weaviate with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install weaviate-haystack\n```\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs an instance of `WeaviateDocumentStore` and indexed Documents to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.weaviate.document_store import (\n WeaviateDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.weaviate import WeaviateBM25Retriever\n\ndocument_store = WeaviateDocumentStore(url=\"http://localhost:8080\")\n\nretriever = WeaviateBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)\n\nretriever.run(query=\"How to make a pizza\", top_k=3)\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.weaviate.document_store import (\n WeaviateDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.weaviate import (\n WeaviateBM25Retriever,\n)\n\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders.answer_builder import AnswerBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\n\n## Create a RAG query pipeline\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\\nDocuments:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n \\nQuestion: {{question}}\n \\nAnswer:\n \"\"\"\n\ndocument_store = WeaviateDocumentStore(url=\"http://localhost:8080\")\n\n## Add Documents\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\n\n## DuplicatePolicy.SKIP param is optional, but useful to run the script multiple times without throwing errors\ndocument_store.write_documents(documents=documents, policy=DuplicatePolicy.SKIP)\n\nrag_pipeline = Pipeline()\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\n name=\"retriever\",\n instance=WeaviateBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(\n instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template),\n name=\"prompt_builder\",\n)\nrag_pipeline.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(), name=\"llm\")\nrag_pipeline.add_component(instance=AnswerBuilder(), name=\"answer_builder\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"answer_builder.replies\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"llm.metadata\", \"answer_builder.metadata\")\nrag_pipeline.connect(\"retriever\", \"answer_builder.documents\")\n\nquestion = \"How many languages are spoken around the world today?\"\nresult = rag_pipeline.run(\n {\n \"retriever\": {\"query\": question},\n \"prompt_builder\": {\"question\": question},\n \"answer_builder\": {\"query\": question},\n },\n)\nprint(result[\"answer_builder\"][\"answers\"][0])\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers/weaviateembeddingretriever.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"WeaviateEmbeddingRetriever\"\nid: weaviateembeddingretriever\nslug: \"/weaviateembeddingretriever\"\ndescription: \"This is an embedding Retriever compatible with the Weaviate Document Store.\"\n---\n\n# WeaviateEmbeddingRetriever\n\nThis is an embedding Retriever compatible with the Weaviate Document Store.\n\n

The behavior of `distance` depends on the Collection’s distance metric used. See the [official Weaviate documentation](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/api/graphql/search-operators#variables) for more information.\n\nThe embedding similarity function depends on the vectorizer used in the `WeaviateDocumentStore` collection.

\n\n## Overview\n\nThe `WeaviateHybridRetriever` combines keyword-based (BM25) and vector similarity search to fetch documents from the [`WeaviateDocumentStore`](../../document-stores/weaviatedocumentstore.mdx). Weaviate executes both searches in parallel and fuses the results into a single ranked list. The Retriever requires both a text query and its corresponding embedding.\n\nThe `alpha` parameter controls how much each search method contributes to the final results:\n\n- `alpha = 0.0`: only keyword (BM25) scoring is used,\n- `alpha = 1.0`: only vector similarity scoring is used,\n- Values in between blend the two; higher values favor the vector score, lower values favor BM25.\n\nIf you don't specify `alpha`, the Weaviate server default is used.\n\nYou can also use the `max_vector_distance` parameter to set a threshold for the vector component. Candidates with a distance larger than this threshold are excluded from the vector portion before blending.\n\nSee the [official Weaviate documentation](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/search/hybrid#parameters) for more details on hybrid search parameters.\n\n### Parameters\n\nWhen using the `WeaviateHybridRetriever`, you need to provide both the query text and its embedding. You can do this by adding a Text Embedder to your query pipeline.\n\nIn addition to `query` and `query_embedding`, the retriever accepts optional parameters including `top_k` (the maximum number of documents to return), `filters` to narrow down the search space, and `filter_policy` to determine how filters are applied.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Installation\n\nTo start using Weaviate with Haystack, install the package with:\n\n```shell\npip install weaviate-haystack\n```\n\n### On its own\n\nThis Retriever needs an instance of `WeaviateDocumentStore` and indexed documents to run.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.weaviate.document_store import (\n WeaviateDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.weaviate import WeaviateHybridRetriever\n\ndocument_store = WeaviateDocumentStore(url=\"http://localhost:8080\")\n\nretriever = WeaviateHybridRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n\n## using a fake vector to keep the example simple\nretriever.run(query=\"How many languages are there?\", query_embedding=[0.1] * 768)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import (\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n)\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.weaviate.document_store import (\n WeaviateDocumentStore,\n)\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.weaviate import (\n WeaviateHybridRetriever,\n)\n\ndocument_store = WeaviateDocumentStore(url=\"http://localhost:8080\")\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today.\"),\n Document(\n content=\"Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates a high level of self-awareness, such as recognizing themselves in mirrors.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"In certain parts of the world, like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.\",\n ),\n]\n\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ndocuments_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n documents_with_embeddings.get(\"documents\"),\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE,\n)\n\nquery_pipeline = Pipeline()\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\"text_embedder\", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())\nquery_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n WeaviateHybridRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nquery_pipeline.connect(\"text_embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\nquery = \"How many languages are there?\"\n\nresult = query_pipeline.run(\n {\"text_embedder\": {\"text\": query}, \"retriever\": {\"query\": query}},\n)\n\nprint(result[\"retriever\"][\"documents\"][0])\n```\n\n### Adjusting the Alpha Parameter\n\nYou can set the `alpha` parameter at initialization or override it at query time:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.weaviate import WeaviateHybridRetriever\n\n## Favor keyword search (good for exact matches)\nretriever_keyword_heavy = WeaviateHybridRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n alpha=0.25,\n)\n\n## Balanced hybrid search\nretriever_balanced = WeaviateHybridRetriever(document_store=document_store, alpha=0.5)\n\n## Favor vector search (good for semantic similarity)\nretriever_vector_heavy = WeaviateHybridRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n alpha=0.75,\n)\n\n## Override alpha at query time\nresult = retriever_balanced.run(\n query=\"artificial intelligence\",\n query_embedding=embedding,\n alpha=0.8,\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/retrievers.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Retrievers\"\nid: retrievers\nslug: \"/retrievers\"\ndescription: \"Retrievers go through all the documents in a Document Store and select the ones that match the user query.\"\n---\n\n# Retrievers\n\nRetrievers go through all the documents in a Document Store and select the ones that match the user query.\n\n## How Do Retrievers Work?\n\nRetrievers are the basic components of the majority of search systems. They’re used in the retrieval part of the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, they’re at the core of document retrieval pipelines, and they’re paired up with a Reader in extractive question answering pipelines.\n\nWhen given a query, the Retriever sifts through the documents in the Document Store, assigns a score to each document to indicate how relevant it is to the query, and returns top candidates. It then passes the selected documents on to the next component in the pipeline or returns them as answers to the query.\n\nNevertheless, it's important to note that most Retrievers based on dense embedding do not compare each document with the query but use approximate techniques to achieve almost the same result with better performance.\n\n## Retriever Types\n\nDepending on how they calculate the similarity between the query and the document, you can divide Retrievers into sparse keyword-based, dense embedding-based, and sparse embedding-based. Several Document Stores can be coupled with different types of Retrievers.\n\n### Sparse Keyword-Based Retrievers\n\nThe sparse keyword-based Retrievers look for keywords shared between the documents and the query using the BM25 algorithm or similar ones. This algorithm computes a weighted world overlap between the documents and the query.\n\nMain features:\n\n- Simple but effective, don’t need training, work quite well out of the box\n- Can work on any language\n- Don’t take word order or syntax into account\n- Can’t handle out-of-vocabulary words\n- Are good for use cases where precise wording matters\n- Can’t handle synonyms or words with similar meaning\n\n### Dense Embedding-Based Retrievers\n\nDense embedding-based Retrievers work with embeddings, which are vector representations of words that capture their semantics. Dense Retrievers need an [Embedder](embedders.mdx) first to turn the documents and the query into vectors. Then, they calculate the vector similarity of the query and each document in the Document Store to fetch the most relevant documents.\n\nMain features:\n\n- They’re powerful but also more expensive computationally than sparse Retrievers\n- They’re trained on labeled datasets\n- They’re language-specific, which means they can only work in the language of the dataset they were trained on. Nevertheless, multilingual embedding models are available.\n- Because they work with embeddings, they take word order and syntax into account\n- Can handle out-of-vocabulary words to a certain extent\n\n### Sparse Embedding-Based Retrievers\n\nThis category includes approaches such as [SPLADE](https://www.pinecone.io/learn/splade/). These techniques combine the positive aspects of keyword-based and dense embedding Retrievers using specific embedding models.\n\nIn particular, SPLADE uses Language Models like BERT to weigh the relevance of different terms in the query and perform automatic term expansions, reducing the vocabulary mismatch problem (queries and relevant documents often lack term overlap).\n\nMain features:\n\n- Better than dense embedding Retrievers on precise keyword matching\n- Better than BM25 on semantic matching\n- Slower than BM25\n- Still experimental compared to both BM25 and dense embeddings: few models supported by few Document Stores\n\n### Filter Retriever\n\n`FilterRetriever` is a special kind of Retriever that can work with all Document Stores and retrieves all documents that match the provided filters.\n\nFor more information, read this Retriever's [documentation page](retrievers/filterretriever.mdx).\n\n### Advanced Retriever Techniques\n\n#### Combining Retrievers\n\nYou can use different types of Retrievers in one pipeline to take advantage of the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses of each of them. There are two most common strategies to do this: combining a sparse and dense Retriever (hybrid retrieval) and using two dense Retrievers, each with a different model (multi-embedding retrieval).\n\n##### Hybrid Retrieval\n\nYou can use different Retriever types, sparse and dense, in one pipeline to take advantage of their strengths and make your pipeline more robust to different kinds of queries and documents. When both Retrievers fetch their candidate documents, you can combine them to produce the final ranking and get the top documents as a result.\n\nSee an example of this approach in our [`DocumentJoiner` docs](joiners/documentjoiner.mdx#in-a-pipeline).\n\n:::tip Metadata Filtering\n\nWhen talking about hybrid retrieval, some database providers mean _metadata filtering_ on dense embedding retrieval. While this is different from combining different Retrievers, it is usually supported by Haystack Retrievers. For more information, check the [Metadata Filtering page](../concepts/metadata-filtering.mdx).\n:::\n\n:::info Hybrid Retrievers\n\nSome Document Stores offer hybrid retrieval on the database side.\nIn general, these solutions can be performant, but they offer fewer customization options (for instance, on how to merge results from different retrieval techniques).\nSome hybrid Retrievers are available in Haystack, such as [`QdrantHybridRetriever`](retrievers/qdranthybridretriever.mdx).\nIf your preferred Document Store does not have a hybrid Retriever available or if you want to customize the behavior even further, check out the hybrid retrieval pipelines [tutorial](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/33_hybrid_retrieval).\n:::\n\n##### Multi-Query Retrieval\n\nMulti-query retrieval improves recall by expanding a single user query into multiple semantically similar queries. Each query variation can capture different aspects of the user's intent and match documents that use different terminology.\n\nThis approach works with both text-based and embedding-based Retrievers:\n- [`MultiQueryTextRetriever`](retrievers/multiquerytextretriever.mdx): Wraps a text-based Retriever (such as BM25) and runs multiple queries in parallel.\n- [`MultiQueryEmbeddingRetriever`](retrievers/multiqueryembeddingretriever.mdx): Wraps an embedding-based Retriever and runs multiple queries in parallel.\n\nTo generate query variations, use the [`QueryExpander`](query/queryexpander.mdx) component, which uses an LLM to create semantically similar queries from the original.\n\n##### Multi-Embedding Retrieval\n\nIn this strategy, you use two embedding-based Retrievers, each with a different model, to embed the same documents. You then end up having multiple embeddings of one document. It can also be handy if you need multimodal retrieval.\n\n## Retrievers and Document Stores\n\nRetrievers are tightly coupled with [Document Stores](../concepts/document-store.mdx). Most Document Stores can work both with a sparse or a dense Retriever or both Retriever types combined. See the documentation of a specific Document Store to check which Retrievers it supports.\n\n### Naming Conventions\n\nThe Retriever names in Haystack consist of:\n\n- Document Store name +\n- Retrieval method +\n- _Retriever_.\n\nPractical examples:\n\n- `ElasticsearchBM25Retriever`: BM25 is a sparse keyword-based retrieval technique, and this Retriever works with `ElasticsearchDocumentStore`.\n- `ElasticsearchEmbeddingRetriever`: When not mentioned, Embedding stays for Dense Embedding, and this Retriever works with `ElasticsearchDocumentStore`.\n- `QdrantSparseEmbeddingRetriever` (in construction): Sparse Embedding is the technique, and this Retriever works with `QdrantDocumentStore`.\n\nWhile we try to stick to this convention, there is sometimes a need to be flexible and accommodate features that are specific to a Document Store. For example:\n\n- `ChromaQueryTextRetriever`: This Retriever uses the query API of Chroma and expects text inputs. It works with `ChromaDocumentStore`.\n\n## FilterPolicy\n\n`FilterPolicy` determines how filters are applied during the document retrieval process. It controls the interaction between static filters set during Retriever initialization and dynamic filters provided at runtime. The possible values are:\n\n- **REPLACE** (default): Any runtime filters completely override the initialization filters. This allows specific queries to dynamically change the filtering scope.\n- **MERGE**: Combines runtime filters with initialization filters, narrowing down the search results.\n\nThe `FilterPolicy` is set in a selected Retriever's init method, while `filters` can be set in both init and run methods.\n\n## Using a Retriever\n\nFor details on how to initialize and use a Retriever in a pipeline, see the documentation for a specific Retriever.

\n\n## Overview\n\nTo use `ConditionalRouter` you need to define a list of routes.\nEach route is a dictionary with the following elements:\n\n- `'condition'`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `'output'`: A Jinja2 expression or list of expressions defining one or more output values.\n- `'output_type'`: The expected type or list of types corresponding to each output (for example, `str`, `List[int]`).\n - Note that this doesn't enforce the type conversion of the output. Instead, the output field is rendered using Jinja2, which automatically infers types. If you need to ensure the result is a string (for example, \"123\" instead of `123`), wrap the Jinja expression in single quotes like this: `output: \"'{{message.text}}'\"`. This ensures the rendered output is treated as a string by Jinja2.\n- `'output_name'`: The name or list of names under which the output values are published. This is used to connect the router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Variables\n\nThe `ConditionalRouter` lets you define which variables are optional in your routing conditions.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n]\n\n## 'path' is optional, 'question' is required\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes=routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\n```\n\nThe component only waits for the required inputs before running. If you use an optional variable in a condition but don't provide it at runtime, it’s evaluated as `None`, which generally does not raise an error but can affect the condition’s outcome.\n\n### Unsafe behaviour\n\nThe `ConditionalRouter` internally renders all the rules' templates using Jinja, by default this is a safe behaviour. Though it limits the output types to strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, `None` and `Ellipsis` (`...`), as well as any combination of these structures.\n\nIf you want to use more types like `ChatMessage`, `Document` or `Answer` you must enable rendering of unsafe templates by setting the `unsafe` init argument to `True`.\n\nBeware that this is unsafe and can lead to remote code execution if a rule `condition` or `output` templates are customizable by the end user.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThis component is primarily meant to be used in pipelines.\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the `'streams'` value to `'enough_streams'` if the stream count exceeds two. Conversely, the second route directs `'streams'` to `'insufficient_streams'` when there are two or fewer streams.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\nfrom typing import List\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": List[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": List[int],\n },\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\n\nprint(result)\n## {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a simple pipeline that routes a query based on its length and returns both the text and its character count.\n\nIf the query is too short, the pipeline returns a warning message and the character count, then stops.\n\nIf the query is long enough, the pipeline returns the original query and its character count, sends the query to the `PromptBuilder`, and then to the Generator to produce the final answer.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Two routes, each returning two outputs: the text and its length\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ query|length > 10 }}\",\n \"output\": [\"{{ query }}\", \"{{ query|length }}\"],\n \"output_name\": [\"ok_query\", \"length\"],\n \"output_type\": [str, int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ query|length <= 10 }}\",\n \"output\": [\"query too short: {{ query }}\", \"{{ query|length }}\"],\n \"output_name\": [\"too_short_query\", \"length\"],\n \"output_type\": [str, int],\n },\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes=routes)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\npipe.add_component(\n \"prompt_builder\",\n ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Answer the following query: {{ query }}\")],\n required_variables={\"query\"},\n ),\n)\npipe.add_component(\"generator\", OpenAIChatGenerator())\n\npipe.connect(\"router.ok_query\", \"prompt_builder.query\")\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"generator.messages\")\n\n## Short query: length ≤ 10 ⇒ fallback route fires.\nprint(pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"query\": \"Berlin\"}}))\n## {'router': {'too_short_query': 'query too short: Berlin', 'length': 6}}\n\n## Long query: length > 10 ⇒ first route fires.\nprint(pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"query\": \"What is the capital of Italy?\"}}))\n## {'generator': {'replies': ['The capital of Italy is Rome.'], …}}\n```\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentLengthRouter` routes documents to different output connections based on the length of their `content` field.\n\nIt allows to set a `threshold` init parameter. Documents where `content` is None, or the length of `content` is less than or equal to the threshold are routed to \"short_documents\". Others are routed to \"long_documents\".\n\nA common use case for `DocumentLengthRouter` is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text content, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to components that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \" * 20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n## {\n## \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n## \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n## }\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn the following indexing pipeline, the `PyPDFToDocument` Converter extracts text from PDF files.\nDocuments are then split by pages using a `DocumentSplitter`.\nNext, the `DocumentLengthRouter` routes short documents to `LLMDocumentContentExtractor` to extract text, which is particularly useful for non-textual, image-based pages.\nFinally, all documents are sent to the `DocumentWriter` and written to the Document Store.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import PyPDFToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\nindexing_pipe = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipe.add_component(\"pdf_converter\", PyPDFToDocument(store_full_path=True))\n## setting skip_empty_documents=False is important here because the\n## LLMDocumentContentExtractor can extract text from non-textual documents\n## that otherwise would be skipped\nindexing_pipe.add_component(\n \"pdf_splitter\",\n DocumentSplitter(split_by=\"page\", split_length=1, skip_empty_documents=False),\n)\nindexing_pipe.add_component(\"doc_length_router\", DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10))\nindexing_pipe.add_component(\n \"content_extractor\",\n LLMDocumentContentExtractor(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4.1-mini\"),\n ),\n)\nindexing_pipe.add_component(\n \"document_writer\",\n DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),\n)\n\nindexing_pipe.connect(\"pdf_converter.documents\", \"pdf_splitter.documents\")\nindexing_pipe.connect(\"pdf_splitter.documents\", \"doc_length_router.documents\")\n## The short PDF pages will be enriched/captioned\nindexing_pipe.connect(\n \"doc_length_router.short_documents\",\n \"content_extractor.documents\",\n)\nindexing_pipe.connect(\"doc_length_router.long_documents\", \"document_writer.documents\")\nindexing_pipe.connect(\"content_extractor.documents\", \"document_writer.documents\")\n\n## Run the indexing pipeline with sources\nindexing_result = indexing_pipe.run(\n data={\"sources\": [\"textual_pdf.pdf\", \"non_textual_pdf.pdf\"]},\n)\n\n## Inspect the documents\nindexed_documents = document_store.filter_documents()\nprint(f\"Indexed {len(indexed_documents)} documents:\\n\")\nfor doc in indexed_documents:\n print(\"file_path: \", doc.meta[\"file_path\"])\n print(\"page_number: \", doc.meta[\"page_number\"])\n print(\"content: \", doc.content)\n print(\"-\" * 100 + \"\\n\")\n\n## Indexed 3 documents:\n##\n## file_path: textual_pdf.pdf\n## page_number: 1\n## content: A sample PDF file...\n## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n##\n## file_path: textual_pdf.pdf\n## page_number: 2\n## content: Page 2 of Sample PDF...\n## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n##\n## file_path: non_textual_pdf.pdf\n## page_number: 1\n## content: Content extracted from non-textual PDF using a LLM...\n## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/routers/documenttyperouter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"DocumentTypeRouter\"\nid: documenttyperouter\nslug: \"/documenttyperouter\"\ndescription: \"Use this Router in pipelines to route documents based on their MIME types to different outputs for further processing.\"\n---\n\n# DocumentTypeRouter\n\nUse this Router in pipelines to route documents based on their MIME types to different outputs for further processing.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentTypeRouter` routes documents based on their MIME types, supporting both exact matches and regex patterns. It can determine MIME types from document metadata or infer them from file paths using standard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\nWhen initializing the component, specify the set of MIME types to route to separate outputs. Set the `mime_types` parameter to a list of types, for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`. Documents with MIME types that are not listed are routed to an output named \"unclassified\".\n\nThe component requires at least one of the following parameters to determine MIME types:\n\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Name of the metadata field containing the MIME type\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Name of the metadata field containing the file path (MIME type will be inferred from the file extension)\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example that uses the `DocumentTypeRouter` to categorize documents by their MIME types:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\"),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"],\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)],\n}\n```\n\n### Using regex patterns\n\nYou can use regex patterns to match multiple MIME types with similar patterns:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Plain text\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"text/plain\"}),\n Document(content=\"HTML text\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"text/html\"}),\n Document(content=\"Markdown text\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"text/markdown\"}),\n Document(content=\"JPEG image\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"image/jpeg\"}),\n Document(content=\"PNG image\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"image/png\"}),\n Document(content=\"PDF document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n mime_types=[r\"text/.*\", r\"image/.*\"],\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\n\n## Result will have:\n## - \"text/.*\": 3 documents (text/plain, text/html, text/markdown)\n## - \"image/.*\": 2 documents (image/jpeg, image/png)\n## - \"unclassified\": 1 document (application/pdf)\n```\n\n### Using custom MIME types\n\nYou can add custom MIME type mappings for uncommon file types:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Word document\", meta={\"file_path\": \"document.docx\"}),\n Document(content=\"Markdown file\", meta={\"file_path\": \"readme.md\"}),\n Document(content=\"Outlook message\", meta={\"file_path\": \"email.msg\"}),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\n \"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\",\n \"text/markdown\",\n \"application/vnd.ms-outlook\",\n ],\n additional_mimetypes={\n \"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\",\n },\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that uses a `DocumentTypeRouter` to categorize documents by type and then process them differently. Text documents get processed by a `DocumentSplitter` before being stored, while PDF documents are stored directly.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\n## Create document store\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n\n## Create pipeline\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(\n instance=DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"],\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n ),\n name=\"document_type_router\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentSplitter(), name=\"text_splitter\")\np.add_component(\n instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),\n name=\"text_writer\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),\n name=\"pdf_writer\",\n)\n\n## Connect components\np.connect(\"document_type_router.text/plain\", \"text_splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"text_splitter.documents\", \"text_writer.documents\")\np.connect(\"document_type_router.application/pdf\", \"pdf_writer.documents\")\n\n## Create test documents\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"This is a text document that will be split and stored.\",\n meta={\"mime_type\": \"text/plain\"},\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"This is a PDF document that will be stored directly.\",\n meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"},\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"This is an image document that will be unclassified.\",\n meta={\"mime_type\": \"image/jpeg\"},\n ),\n]\n\n## Run pipeline\nresult = p.run({\"document_type_router\": {\"documents\": docs}})\n\n## The pipeline will route documents based on their MIME types:\n## - Text documents (text/plain) → DocumentSplitter → DocumentWriter\n## - PDF documents (application/pdf) → DocumentWriter (direct)\n## - Other documents → unclassified output\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/routers/filetyperouter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"FileTypeRouter\"\nid: filetyperouter\nslug: \"/filetyperouter\"\ndescription: \"Use this Router in indexing pipelines to route file paths or byte streams based on their type to different outputs for further processing.\"\n---\n\n# FileTypeRouter\n\nUse this Router in indexing pipelines to route file paths or byte streams based on their type to different outputs for further processing.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`FileTypeRouter` routes file paths or byte streams based on their type, for example, plain text, jpeg image, or audio wave. For file paths, it infers MIME types from their extensions, while for byte streams, it determines MIME types based on the provided metadata.\n\nWhen initializing the component, you specify the set of MIME types to route to separate outputs. To do this, set the `mime_types` parameter to a list of types, for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`. Types that are not listed are routed to an output named “unclassified”.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example that uses the `FileTypeRouter` to rank two simple documents:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\n\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\"])\nrouter.run(sources=[\"text-file-will-be-added.txt\", \"pdf-will-not-ne-added.pdf\"])\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a pipeline that uses a `FileTypeRouter` to forward only plain text files to a `DocumentSplitter` and then a `DocumentWriter`. Only the content of plain text files gets added to the `InMemoryDocumentStore`, but not the content of files of any other type. As an alternative, you could add a `PyPDFConverter` to the pipeline and use the `FileTypeRouter` to route PDFs to it so that it converts them to documents.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.converters import TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(\n instance=FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\"]),\n name=\"file_type_router\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name=\"text_file_converter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentSplitter(), name=\"splitter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\np.connect(\"file_type_router.text/plain\", \"text_file_converter.sources\")\np.connect(\"text_file_converter.documents\", \"splitter.documents\")\np.connect(\"splitter.documents\", \"writer.documents\")\np.run(\n {\n \"file_type_router\": {\n \"sources\": [\"text-file-will-be-added.txt\", \"pdf-will-not-be-added.pdf\"],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/routers/llmmessagesrouter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"LLMMessagesRouter\"\nid: llmmessagesrouter\nslug: \"/llmmessagesrouter\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to route Chat Messages to various output connections using a generative Language Model to perform classification.\"\n---\n\n# LLMMessagesRouter\n\nUse this component to route Chat Messages to various output connections using a generative Language Model to perform classification.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`LLMMessagesRouter` uses an LLM to classify chat messages and route them to different outputs based on that classification.\n\nThis is especially useful for tasks like content moderation. If a message is deemed safe, you might forward it to a Chat Generator to generate a reply. Otherwise, you may halt the interaction or log the message separately.\n\nFirst, you need to pass a ChatGenerator instance in the `chat_generator` parameter.\nThen, define two lists of the same length:\n\n- `output_names`: The names of the outputs to which you want to route messages,\n- `output_patterns`: Regular expressions that are matched against the LLM output.\n\nEach pattern is evaluated in order, and the first match determines the output. To define appropriate patterns, we recommend reviewing the model card of your chosen LLM and/or experimenting with it.\n\nOptionally, you can provide a `system_prompt` to guide the classification behavior of the LLM. In this case as well, we recommend checking the model card to discover customization options.\n\nTo see the full list of parameters, check out our [API reference](/reference/routers-api#llmmessagesrouter).\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example of using `LLMMessagesRouter` to route Chat Messages to two output connections based on safety classification. Messages that don’t match any pattern are routed to `unmatched`.\n\nWe use Llama Guard 4 for content moderation. To use this model with the Hugging Face API, you need to [request access](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-Guard-4-12B) and set the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers.llm_messages_router import LLMMessagesRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nchat_generator = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(\n api_type=\"serverless_inference_api\",\n api_params={\"model\": \"meta-llama/Llama-Guard-4-12B\", \"provider\": \"groq\"},\n)\n\nrouter = LLMMessagesRouter(\n chat_generator=chat_generator,\n output_names=[\"unsafe\", \"safe\"],\n output_patterns=[\"unsafe\", \"safe\"],\n)\n\nprint(router.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"How to rob a bank?\")]))\n\n## {\n## 'chat_generator_text': 'unsafe\\nS2',\n## 'unsafe': [\n## ChatMessage(\n## _role=,\n## _content=[TextContent(text='How to rob a bank?')],\n## _name=None,\n## _meta={}\n## )\n## ]\n## }\n```\n\nYou can also use `LLMMessagesRouter` with general-purpose LLMs.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat.openai import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers.llm_messages_router import LLMMessagesRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nsystem_prompt = \"\"\"Classify the given message into one of the following labels:\n- animals\n- politics\nRespond with the label only, no other text.\n\"\"\"\n\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4.1-mini\")\n\nrouter = LLMMessagesRouter(\n chat_generator=chat_generator,\n system_prompt=system_prompt,\n output_names=[\"animals\", \"politics\"],\n output_patterns=[\"animals\", \"politics\"],\n)\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"You are a crazy gorilla!\")]\n\nprint(router.run(messages))\n\n## {\n## 'chat_generator_text': 'animals',\n## 'unsafe': [\n## ChatMessage(\n## _role=,\n## _content=[TextContent(text='You are a crazy gorilla!')],\n## _name=None,\n## _meta={}\n## )\n## ]\n## }\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a RAG pipeline that includes content moderation.\nSafe messages are routed to an LLM to generate a response, while unsafe messages are returned through the `moderation_router.unsafe` output edge.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import

\n\n## Overview\n\n`MetadataRouter` routes documents or byte streams to different outputs based on their metadata. You initialize it with `rules` defining the names of the outputs and filters to match documents or byte streams to one of the connections. The filters follow the same syntax as filters in Document Stores. If a document or byte stream matches multiple filters, it is sent to multiple outputs. Objects that do not match any rule go to an output connection named `unmatched`.\n\nIn pipelines, this component is most useful after a Classifier (such as the `DocumentLanguageClassifier`) that adds the classification results to the documents' metadata.\n\nThis component has no default rules. If you don't define any rules when initializing the component, it routes all documents or byte streams to the `unmatched` output.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example that uses the `MetadataRouter` to filter out documents based on their metadata. We initialize the router by setting a rule to pass on all documents with `language` set to `en` in their metadata to an output connection called `en`. Documents that don't match this rule go to an output connection named `unmatched`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris is the capital of France.\", meta={\"language\": \"en\"}),\n Document(\n content=\"Berlin ist die Haupststadt von Deutschland.\",\n meta={\"language\": \"de\"},\n ),\n]\nrouter = MetadataRouter(\n rules={\"en\": {\"field\": \"meta.language\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"en\"}},\n)\nrouter.run(documents=docs)\n```\n\n### Routing ByteStreams\n\nYou can also use `MetadataRouter` to route `ByteStream` objects based on their metadata. This is useful when working with binary data or when you need to route files before they're converted to documents.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter\n\nstreams = [\n ByteStream.from_string(\"Hello world\", meta={\"language\": \"en\"}),\n ByteStream.from_string(\"Bonjour le monde\", meta={\"language\": \"fr\"}),\n]\n\nrouter = MetadataRouter(\n rules={\"english\": {\"field\": \"meta.language\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"en\"}},\n output_type=list[ByteStream],\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=streams)\n## {'english': [ByteStream(...)], 'unmatched': [ByteStream(...)]}\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of an indexing pipeline that converts text files to documents and uses the `DocumentLanguageClassifier` to detect the language of the text and add it to the documents' metadata. It then uses the `MetadataRouter` to forward only English language documents to the `DocumentWriter`. Documents of other languages will not be added to the `DocumentStore`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.file_converters import TextFileToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.classifiers import DocumentLanguageClassifier\nfrom haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name=\"text_file_converter\")\np.add_component(instance=DocumentLanguageClassifier(), name=\"language_classifier\")\np.add_component(\n instance=MetadataRouter(\n rules={\"en\": {\"field\": \"meta.language\", \"operator\": \"==\", \"value\": \"en\"}},\n ),\n name=\"router\",\n)\np.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name=\"writer\")\np.connect(\"text_file_converter.documents\", \"language_classifier.documents\")\np.connect(\"language_classifier.documents\", \"router.documents\")\np.connect(\"router.en\", \"writer.documents\")\np.run(\n {\n \"text_file_converter\": {\n \"sources\": [\n \"english-file-will-be-added.txt\",\n \"german-file-will-not-be-added.txt\",\n ],\n },\n },\n)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/routers/textlanguagerouter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"TextLanguageRouter\"\nid: textlanguagerouter\nslug: \"/textlanguagerouter\"\ndescription: \"Use this component in pipelines to route a query based on its language.\"\n---\n\n# TextLanguageRouter\n\nUse this component in pipelines to route a query based on its language.\n\n

By default, only English is in this set. If the detected language of the input text is not in the component’s `languages` , it's routed to an output named `unmatched`.\n\nIn pipelines, it's used as the first component to route a query based on its language and filter out queries in unsupported languages.\n\nThe components parameter `languages` must be a list of languages in ISO code, such as en, de, fr, es, it, each corresponding to a different output connection (see [langdetect documentation](https://github.com/Mimino666/langdetect#languages))).\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example where using the `TextLanguageRouter` to route only French texts to an output connection named `fr`. Other texts, such as the English text below, are routed to an output named `unmatched`.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import TextLanguageRouter\n\nrouter = TextLanguageRouter(languages=[\"fr\"])\nrouter.run(text=\"What's your query?\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a query pipeline that uses a `TextLanguageRouter` to forward only English language queries to the Retriever.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import TextLanguageRouter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=TextLanguageRouter(), name=\"text_language_router\")\np.add_component(\n instance=InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store),\n name=\"retriever\",\n)\np.connect(\"text_language_router.en\", \"retriever.query\")\np.run({\"text_language_router\": {\"text\": \"What's your query?\"}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/routers/transformerstextrouter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"TransformersTextRouter\"\nid: transformerstextrouter\nslug: \"/transformerstextrouter\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to route text input to various output connections based on a model-defined categorization label.\"\n---\n\n# TransformersTextRouter\n\nUse this component to route text input to various output connections based on a model-defined categorization label.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`TransformersTextRouter` routes text input to various output connections based on its categorization label. This is useful for routing queries to different models in a pipeline depending on their categorization.\n\nFirst, you need to set a selected model with a `model` parameter when initializing the component. The selected model then provides the set of labels for categorization.\n\nYou can additionally provide the `labels` parameter – a list of strings of possible class labels to classify each sequence into. If not provided, the component fetches the labels from the model configuration file hosted on the HuggingFace Hub using `transformers.AutoConfig.from_pretrained`.\n\nTo see the full list of parameters, check out our [API reference](/reference/routers-api#transformerstextrouter).\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThe `TransformersTextRouter` isn’t very effective on its own, as its main strength lies in working within a pipeline. The component's true potential is unlocked when it is integrated into a pipeline, where it can efficiently route text to the most appropriate components. Please see the following section for a complete example of usage.\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a simple pipeline that routes English queries to a Text Generator optimized for English text and German queries to a Text Generator optimized for German text.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import TransformersTextRouter\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.huggingface import HuggingFaceLocalGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\np = Pipeline()\n\np.add_component(\n instance=TransformersTextRouter(\n model=\"papluca/xlm-roberta-base-language-detection\",\n ),\n name=\"text_router\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Answer the question: {{query}}\\nAnswer:\")],\n required_variables={\"query\"},\n ),\n name=\"english_prompt_builder\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Beantworte die Frage: {{query}}\\nAntwort:\")],\n required_variables={\"query\"},\n ),\n name=\"german_prompt_builder\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=HuggingFaceLocalGenerator(\n model=\"DiscoResearch/Llama3-DiscoLeo-Instruct-8B-v0.1\",\n ),\n name=\"german_llm\",\n)\np.add_component(\n instance=HuggingFaceLocalGenerator(model=\"microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct\"),\n name=\"english_llm\",\n)\n\np.connect(\"text_router.en\", \"english_prompt_builder.query\")\np.connect(\"text_router.de\", \"german_prompt_builder.query\")\np.connect(\"english_prompt_builder.messages\", \"english_llm.messages\")\np.connect(\"german_prompt_builder.messages\", \"german_llm.messages\")\n\n## English Example\nprint(p.run({\"text_router\": {\"text\": \"What is the capital of Germany?\"}}))\n\n## German Example\nprint(p.run({\"text_router\": {\"text\": \"Was ist die Hauptstadt von Deutschland?\"}}))\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n:notebook: Tutorial: [Query Classification with TransformersTextRouter and TransformersZeroShotTextRouter](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/41_query_classification_with_transformerstextrouter_and_transformerszeroshottextrouter)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/routers/transformerszeroshottextrouter.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"TransformersZeroShotTextRouter\"\nid: transformerszeroshottextrouter\nslug: \"/transformerszeroshottextrouter\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to route text input to various output connections based on its user-defined categorization label.\"\n---\n\n# TransformersZeroShotTextRouter\n\nUse this component to route text input to various output connections based on its user-defined categorization label.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` routes text input to various output connections based on its categorization label. This feature is especially beneficial for directing queries to appropriate components within a pipeline, according to their specific categories. Users can define the labels for this categorization process.\n\n`TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` uses the `MoritzLaurer/deberta-v3-base-zeroshot-v1.1-all-33` zero-shot text classification model by default. You can set another model of your choosing with the `model` parameter.\n\nTo use `TransformersZeroShotTextRouter`, you need to provide the mandatory `labels` parameter – a list of strings of possible class labels to classify each sequence into.\n\nTo see the full list of parameters, check out our [API reference](/reference/routers-api#transformerszeroshottextrouter).\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nThe `TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` isn’t very effective on its own, as its main strength lies in working within a pipeline. The component's true potential is unlocked when it is integrated into a pipeline, where it can efficiently route text to the most appropriate components. Please see the following section for a complete example of usage.\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of a simple pipeline that routes input text to an appropriate route in the pipeline.\n\nWe first create an `InMemoryDocumentStore` and populate it with documents about Germany and France, embedding these documents using `SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder`.\n\nWe then create a retrieving pipeline with the `TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` to categorize an incoming text as either \"passage\" or \"query\" based on these predefined labels. Depending on the categorization, the text is then processed by appropriate Embedders tailored for passages and queries, respectively. These Embedders generate embeddings that are used by `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever` to find relevant documents in the Document Store.\n\nFinally, the pipeline is executed with a sample text: \"What is the capital of Germany?” which categorizes this input text as “query” and routes it to Query Embedder and subsequently Query Retriever to return the relevant results.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.core.pipeline import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import TransformersZeroShotTextRouter\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder, SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndoc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model=\"intfloat/e5-base-v2\")\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in the western region of \"\n \"Central Europe.

\n\n## Overview\n\nTop-P (nucleus) sampling is a method that helps identify and select a subset of documents based on their cumulative probabilities. Instead of choosing a fixed number of documents, this method focuses on a specified percentage of the highest cumulative probabilities within a list of documents. To put it simply, `TopPSampler` provides a way to efficiently select the most relevant documents based on their similarity to a given query.\n\nThe practical goal of the `TopPSampler` is to return a list of documents that, in sum, have a score larger than the `top_p` value. So, for example, when `top_p` is set to a high value, more documents will be returned, which can result in more varied outputs. The value is typically set between 0 and 1. By default, the component uses documents' `score` fields to look at the similarity scores.\n\nThe component’s `run()` method takes in a set of documents, calculates the similarity scores between the query and the documents, and then filters the documents based on the cumulative probability of these scores.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.samplers import TopPSampler\n\nsampler = TopPSampler(top_p=0.99, score_field=\"similarity_score\")\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Berlin\", meta={\"similarity_score\": -10.6}),\n Document(content=\"Belgrade\", meta={\"similarity_score\": -8.9}),\n Document(content=\"Sarajevo\", meta={\"similarity_score\": -4.6}),\n]\noutput = sampler.run(documents=docs)\ndocs = output[\"documents\"]\nprint(docs)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nTo best understand how can you use a `TopPSampler` and which components to pair it with, explore the following example.\n\n```python\n# import necessary dependencies\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker\nfrom haystack.components.routers.file_type_router import FileTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.components.samplers import TopPSampler\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# initialize the components\nweb_search = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"), top_k=10)\n\nlcf = LinkContentFetcher()\nhtml_converter = HTMLToDocument()\nrouter = FileTypeRouter([\"text/html\", \"application/pdf\", \"application/octet-stream\"])\n\n# ChatPromptBuilder uses a different template format with ChatMessage\ntemplate = [\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Given these paragraphs below: \\n {% for doc in documents %}{{ doc.content }}{% endfor %}\\n\\nAnswer the question: {{ query }}\",\n ),\n]\n# set required_variables to avoid warnings in multi-branch pipelines\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=template,\n required_variables=[\"documents\", \"query\"],\n)\n\n# The Ranker plays an important role, as it will assign the scores to the top 10 found documents based on our query.

\n\n## Overview\n\nA `ToolInvoker` is a component that processes `ChatMessage` objects containing tool calls. It invokes the corresponding tools and returns the results as a list of `ChatMessage` objects. Each tool is defined with a name, description, parameters, and a function that performs the task. The `ToolInvoker` manages these tools and handles the invocation process.\n\nYou can pass multiple tools to the `ToolInvoker` component, and it will automatically choose the right tool to call based on tool calls produced by a Language Model.\n\nThe `ToolInvoker` has two additionally helpful parameters:\n\n- `convert_result_to_json_string`: Use `json.dumps` (when True) or `str` (when False) to convert the result into a string.\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, it will raise an exception in case of errors. If False, it will return a `ChatMessage` object with `error=True` and a description of the error in `result`. Use this, for example, when you want to keep the Language Model running in a loop and fixing its errors.\n\n:::info ChatMessage and Tool Data Classes\n\nFollow the links to learn more about [ChatMessage](../../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) and [Tool](../../tools/tool.mdx) data classes.\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ToolCall\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n\n## Tool definition\ndef dummy_weather_function(city: str):\n return f\"The weather in {city} is 20 degrees.\"\n\n\nparameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"],\n}\ntool = Tool(\n name=\"weather_tool\",\n description=\"A tool to get the weather\",\n function=dummy_weather_function,\n parameters=parameters,\n)\n\n## Usually, the ChatMessage with tool_calls is generated by a Language Model\n## Here, we create it manually for demonstration purposes\ntool_call = ToolCall(tool_name=\"weather_tool\", arguments={\"city\": \"Berlin\"})\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_assistant(tool_calls=[tool_call])\n\n## ToolInvoker initialization and run\ninvoker = ToolInvoker(tools=[tool])\nresult = invoker.run(messages=[message])\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n```\n>> {\n>> 'tool_messages': [\n>> ChatMessage(\n>> _role=,\n>> _content=[\n>> ToolCallResult(\n>> result='\"The weather in Berlin is 20 degrees.\"',\n>> origin=ToolCall(\n>> tool_name='weather_tool',\n>> arguments={'city': 'Berlin'},\n>> id=None\n>> )\n>> )\n>> ],\n>> _meta={}\n>> )\n>> ]\n>> }\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nThe following code snippet shows how to process a user query about the weather. First, we define a `Tool` for fetching weather data, then we initialize a `ToolInvoker` to execute this tool, while using an `OpenAIChatGenerator` to generate responses. A `ConditionalRouter` is used in this pipeline to route messages based on whether they contain tool calls. The pipeline connects these components, processes a user message asking for the weather in Berlin, and outputs the result.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom typing import List # Ensure List is imported\n\n## Define a dummy weather tool\nimport random\n\n\ndef dummy_weather(location: str):\n return {\n \"temp\": f\"{random.randint(-10, 40)} °C\",\n \"humidity\": f\"{random.randint(0, 100)}%\",\n }\n\n\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"A tool to get the weather\",\n function=dummy_weather,\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"location\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"location\"],\n },\n)\n\n## Initialize the ToolInvoker with the weather tool\ntool_invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=[weather_tool])\n\n## Initialize the ChatGenerator\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[weather_tool])\n\n## Define routing conditions\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{replies[0].tool_calls | length > 0}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{replies}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"there_are_tool_calls\",\n \"output_type\": List[ChatMessage], # Use direct type\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{replies[0].tool_calls | length == 0}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{replies}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"final_replies\",\n \"output_type\": List[ChatMessage], # Use direct type\n },\n]\n\n## Initialize the ConditionalRouter\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, unsafe=True)\n\n## Create the pipeline\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"generator\", chat_generator)\npipeline.add_component(\"router\", router)\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", tool_invoker)\n\n## Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"router\")\npipeline.connect(\n \"router.there_are_tool_calls\",\n \"tool_invoker.messages\",\n) # Correct connection\n\n## Example user message\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the weather in Berlin?\")\n\n## Run the pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"messages\": [user_message]})\n\n## Print the result\nprint(result)\n```\n\n```\n{\n \"tool_invoker\":{\n \"tool_messages\":[\n \"ChatMessage(_role=\",\n \"_content=\"[\n \"ToolCallResult(result=\"\"{'temp': '33 °C', 'humidity': '79%'}\",\n \"origin=ToolCall(tool_name=\"\"weather\",\n \"arguments=\"{\n \"location\":\"Berlin\"\n },\n \"id=\"\"call_pUVl8Cycssk1dtgMWNT1T9eT\"\")\",\n \"error=False)\"\n ],\n \"_name=None\",\n \"_meta=\"{\n\n }\")\"\n ]\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks:\n\n- [Define & Run Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/tools_support)\n- [Newsletter Sending Agent with Haystack Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/newsletter-agent)\n- [Create a Swarm of Agents](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/swarm)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/translators/laradocumenttranslator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"LaraDocumentTranslator\"\nid: laradocumenttranslator\nslug: \"/laradocumenttranslator\"\ndescription: \"This component translates the text content of Haystack documents using the Lara translation API.\"\n---\n\n# LaraDocumentTranslator\n\nThis component translates the text content of Haystack documents using the Lara translation API.\n\n

The original document ID is preserved in each translated document's metadata under the `original_document_id` key.\n\nKey features:\n\n- **Automatic language detection**: set `source_lang` to `None` and Lara auto-detects it.\n- **Translation styles**: choose `\"faithful\"`, `\"fluid\"`, or `\"creative\"` to control the tone.\n- **Context and instructions**: pass surrounding text or natural-language instructions to improve quality.\n- **Translation memories and glossaries**: supply memory or glossary IDs so Lara enforces consistent terminology.\n- **Reasoning (Lara Think)**: enable multi-step linguistic analysis for higher-quality output.\n\n## Usage\n### Installation\n\nTo start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:\n\n```shell\npip install lara-haystack\n```\n\n`LaraDocumentTranslator` needs Lara API credentials to work. It uses the `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET` environment variables by default. Otherwise, you can pass them at initialization:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.translators.lara import LaraDocumentTranslator\n\ntranslator = LaraDocumentTranslator(\n access_key_id=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n access_key_secret=Secret.from_token(\"\"),\n source_lang=\"en-US\",\n target_lang=\"de-DE\",\n)\n```\n\nTo get your Lara API credentials, sign up at [laratranslate.com](https://laratranslate.com/).\n### On its own\n\nRemember to set the `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET` environment variables or pass them in directly.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.translators.lara import LaraDocumentTranslator\n\ntranslator = LaraDocumentTranslator(\n access_key_id=Secret.from_env_var(\"LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"),\n access_key_secret=Secret.from_env_var(\"LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET\"),\n source_lang=\"en-US\",\n target_lang=\"de-DE\",\n)\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"Hello, world!\")\nresult = translator.run(documents=[doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"][0].content)\n# >> \"Hallo, Welt!\"\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of the `LaraDocumentTranslator` in a pipeline that fetches a webpage, converts it to a document, and translates it from English to German.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.translators.lara import LaraDocumentTranslator\n\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\nconverter = HTMLToDocument()\ntranslator = LaraDocumentTranslator(source_lang=\"en-US\", target_lang=\"de-DE\")\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"fetcher\", fetcher)\npipe.add_component(\"converter\", converter)\npipe.add_component(\"translator\", translator)\n\npipe.connect(\"fetcher\", \"converter\")\npipe.connect(\"converter\", \"translator\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"fetcher\": {\"urls\": [\"https://haystack.deepset.ai/\"]}})\ntranslated_docs = result[\"translator\"][\"documents\"]\nfor doc in translated_docs:\n print(doc.content)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/validators/jsonschemavalidator.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"JsonSchemaValidator\"\nid: jsonschemavalidator\nslug: \"/jsonschemavalidator\"\ndescription: \"Use this component to ensure that an LLM-generated chat message JSON adheres to a specific schema.\"\n---\n\n# JsonSchemaValidator\n\nUse this component to ensure that an LLM-generated chat message JSON adheres to a specific schema.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`JsonSchemaValidator` checks the JSON content of a `ChatMessage` against a given [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/). If a message's JSON content follows the provided schema, it's moved to the `validated` output. If not, it's moved to the `validation_error`output. When there's an error, the component uses either the provided custom `error_template` or a default template to create the error message. These error `ChatMessages` can be used in Haystack recovery loops.\n\n## Usage\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nIn this simple pipeline, the `MessageProducer` sends a list of chat messages to a Generator through `BranchJoiner`. The resulting messages from the Generator are sent to `JsonSchemaValidator`, and the error `ChatMessages` are sent back to `BranchJoiner` for a recovery loop.\n\n```python\nfrom typing import List\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack import component\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n@component\nclass MessageProducer:\n\n @component.output_types(messages=List[ChatMessage])\n def run(self, messages: List[ChatMessage]) -> dict:\n return {\"messages\": messages}\n\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4-1106-preview\",\n generation_kwargs={\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}))\np.add_component(\"schema_validator\", JsonSchemaValidator())\np.add_component(\"branch_joiner\", BranchJoiner(List[ChatMessage]))\np.add_component(\"message_producer\", MessageProducer())\n\np.connect(\"message_producer.messages\", \"branch_joiner\")\np.connect(\"branch_joiner\", \"llm\")\np.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"schema_validator.messages\")\np.connect(\"schema_validator.validation_error\", \"branch_joiner\")\n\nresult = p.run(\n data={\"message_producer\": {\n \"messages\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Generate JSON for person with name 'John' and age 30\")]},\n \"schema_validator\": {\"json_schema\": {\"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"name\": {\"type\": \"string\"},\n \"age\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}}}}})\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'schema_validator': {'validated': [ChatMessage(_role=> 'assistant'>, _content=[TextContent(text='\\n{\\n \"name\": \"John\",\\n \"age\": 30\\n}')],\n>> _name=None, _meta={'model': 'gpt-4-1106-preview', 'index': 0, 'finish_reason': 'stop',\n>> 'usage': {'completion_tokens': 17, 'prompt_tokens': 20, 'total_tokens': 37,\n>> 'completion_tokens_details': {'accepted_prediction_tokens': 0, 'audio_tokens': 0,\n>> 'reasoning_tokens': 0, 'rejected_prediction_tokens': 0}, 'prompt_tokens_details':\n>> {'audio_tokens': 0, 'cached_tokens': 0}}})]}}\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/websearch/external-integrations-websearch.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"External Integrations\"\nid: external-integrations-websearch\nslug: \"/external-integrations-websearch\"\ndescription: \"External integrations that enable websearch with Haystack.\"\n---\n\n# External Integrations\n\nExternal integrations that enable websearch with Haystack.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [DuckDuckGo](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/duckduckgo-api-websearch) | Use DuckDuckGo API for web searches. |\n| [Exa](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/exa) | Search the web with Exa's AI-powered search, get content, answers, and conduct deep research. |\n| [Serpex](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/serpex) | Multi-engine web search for Haystack — access Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Yahoo, and Yandex via Serpex API. |" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/websearch/firecrawlwebsearch.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"FirecrawlWebSearch\"\nid: firecrawlwebsearch\nslug: \"/firecrawlwebsearch\"\ndescription: \"Search engine using the Firecrawl API.\"\n---\n\n# FirecrawlWebSearch\n\nSearch the web and extract content using the Firecrawl API.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nWhen you give `FirecrawlWebSearch` a query, it uses the Firecrawl Search API to search the web, crawl the resulting pages, and return the structured text as a list of Haystack `Document` objects. It also returns a list of the underlying URLs.\n\nBecause Firecrawl actively scrapes and structures the content of the pages it finds into LLM-friendly formats, you generally don't need an additional component like `LinkContentFetcher` to read the web pages. `FirecrawlWebSearch` handles the retrieval and scraping all in one step.\n\n`FirecrawlWebSearch` requires a [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev) API key to work. By default, it looks for a `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` environment variable. Alternatively, you can pass an `api_key` directly during initialization.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nHere is a quick example of how `FirecrawlWebSearch` searches the web based on a query, scrapes the resulting web pages, and returns a list of Documents containing the page content.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.websearch.firecrawl import FirecrawlWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\nweb_search = FirecrawlWebSearch(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"FIRECRAWL_API_KEY\"),\n top_k=5,\n search_params={\"scrape_options\": {\"formats\": [\"markdown\"]}},\n)\nquery = \"What is Haystack by deepset?\"\n\nresponse = web_search.run(query=query)\n\nfor doc in response[\"documents\"]:\n print(doc.content)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nHere is an example of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline where using `FirecrawlWebSearch` to look up an answer. Because Firecrawl returns the actual text of the scraped pages, you can pass its `documents` output directly into the `ChatPromptBuilder` to give the LLM the necessary context.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.websearch.firecrawl import FirecrawlWebSearch\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nweb_search = FirecrawlWebSearch(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"FIRECRAWL_API_KEY\"),\n top_k=2,\n search_params={\"scrape_options\": {\"formats\": [\"markdown\"]}},\n)\n\nprompt_template = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\"You are a helpful assistant.\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Given the information below:\\n\"\n \"{% for document in documents %}{{ document.content }}\\n{% endfor %}\\n\"\n \"Answer the following question: {{ query }}.\\nAnswer:\",\n ),\n]\n\nprompt_builder = ChatPromptBuilder(\n template=prompt_template,\n required_variables={\"query\", \"documents\"},\n)\n\nllm = OpenAIChatGenerator(\n api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"),\n model=\"gpt-5-nano\",\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"search\", web_search)\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", prompt_builder)\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", llm)\n\npipe.connect(\"search.documents\", \"prompt_builder.documents\")\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nquery = \"What is Haystack by deepset?\"\n\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"search\": {\"query\": query}, \"prompt_builder\": {\"query\": query}})\n\nprint(result[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0].content)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/pipeline-components/websearch/searchapiwebsearch.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"SearchApiWebSearch\"\nid: searchapiwebsearch\nslug: \"/searchapiwebsearch\"\ndescription: \"Search engine using Search API.\"\n---\n\n# SearchApiWebSearch\n\nSearch engine using Search API.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`DocumentWriter` writes a list of documents into a Document Store of your choice. It’s typically used in an indexing pipeline as the final step after preprocessing documents and creating their embeddings.\n\nTo use this component with a specific file type, make sure you use the correct [Converter](../converters.mdx) before it. For example, to use `DocumentWriter` with Markdown files, use the `MarkdownToDocument` component before `DocumentWriter` in your indexing pipeline.\n\n### DuplicatePolicy\n\nThe `DuplicatePolicy` is a class that defines the different options for handling documents with the same ID in a `DocumentStore`. It has four possible values:\n\n- **NONE**: The default policy that relies on Document Store settings.\n- **OVERWRITE**: Indicates that if a document with the same ID already exists in the `DocumentStore`, it should be overwritten with the new document.\n- **SKIP**: If a document with the same ID already exists, the new document will be skipped and not added to the `DocumentStore`.\n- **FAIL**: Raises an error if a document with the same ID already exists in the `DocumentStore`. It prevents duplicate documents from being added.\n\n## Usage\n\n### On its own\n\nBelow is an example of how to write two documents into an `InMemoryDocumentStore`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"This is document 1\"),\n Document(content=\"This is document 2\"),\n]\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_writer = DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store)\ndocument_writer.run(documents=documents)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nBelow is an example of an indexing pipeline that first uses the `SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder` to create embeddings of documents and then use the `DocumentWriter` to write the documents to an `InMemoryDocumentStore`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.pipeline import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy\nfrom haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder\nfrom haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter\n\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"This is document 1\"),\n Document(content=\"This is document 2\"),\n]\n\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\nembedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()\ndocument_writer = DocumentWriter(\n document_store=document_store,\n policy=DuplicatePolicy.NONE,\n)\n\nindexing_pipeline = Pipeline()\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(instance=embedder, name=\"embedder\")\nindexing_pipeline.add_component(instance=document_writer, name=\"writer\")\n\nindexing_pipeline.connect(\"embedder\", \"writer\")\nindexing_pipeline.run({\"embedder\": {\"documents\": documents}})\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/tools/componenttool.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"ComponentTool\"\nid: componenttool\nslug: \"/componenttool\"\ndescription: \"This wrapper allows using Haystack components to be used as tools by LLMs.\"\n---\n\n# ComponentTool\n\nThis wrapper allows using Haystack components to be used as tools by LLMs.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`ComponentTool` is a Tool that wraps Haystack components, allowing them to be used as tools by LLMs. ComponentTool automatically generates LLM-compatible tool schemas from component input sockets, which are derived from the component's `run` method signature and type hints.\n\nIt does input type conversion and offers support for components with run methods that have the following input types:\n\n- Basic types (str, int, float, bool, dict)\n- Dataclasses (both simple and nested structures)\n- Lists of basic types (such as List[str])\n- Lists of dataclasses (such as List[Document])\n- Parameters with mixed types (such as List[Document], str...)\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `component` is mandatory and needs to be a Haystack component, either an existing one or a custom component.\n- `name` is optional and defaults to the name of the component written in snake case, for example, \"serper_dev_web_search\" for SerperDevWebSearch.\n- `description` is optional and defaults to the component’s docstring. It’s the description that explains to the LLM what the tool can be used for.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the additional dependencies `docstring-parser` and `jsonschema` package to use the `ComponentTool`:\n\n```shell\npip install docstring-parser jsonschema\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can create a `ComponentTool` from an existing `SerperDevWebSearch` component and let an `OpenAIChatGenerator` use it as a tool in a pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n## Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\", # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n## Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n## Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\",\n)\n\n## Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n### With the Agent Component\n\nYou can use `ComponentTool` with the [Agent](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx) component. Internally, the `Agent` component includes a `ToolInvoker` and the ChatGenerator of your choice to execute tool calls and process tool results.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom typing import List\n\n## Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n## Create a tool from the component\nsearch_tool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\", # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n## Agent Setup\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[search_tool],\n exit_conditions=[\"text\"],\n)\n\n## Run the Agent\nresponse = agent.run(\n messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Find information about Nikola Tesla\")],\n)\n\n## Output\nprint(response[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbook: [Build a GitHub Issue Resolver Agent](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/github_issue_resolver_agent)\n\n📓 Tutorial: [Build a Tool-Calling Agent](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/43_building_a_tool_calling_agent)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/tools/mcptool.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCPTool\"\nid: mcptool\nslug: \"/mcptool\"\ndescription: \"MCPTool enables integration with external tools and services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).\"\n---\n\n# MCPTool\n\nMCPTool enables integration with external tools and services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`MCPTool` is a Tool that allows Haystack to communicate with external tools and services using the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs, similar to how USB-C provides a standardized way to connect devices.\n\nThe `MCPTool` supports multiple transport options:\n\n- Streamable HTTP for connecting to HTTP servers,\n- SSE (Server-Sent Events) for connecting to HTTP servers **(deprecated)**,\n- StdIO for direct execution of local programs.\n\nLearn more about the MCP protocol and its architecture at the [official MCP website](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `name` is _mandatory_ and specifies the name of the tool.\n- `server_info` is _mandatory_ and needs to be either an `SSEServerInfo`, `StreamableHttpServerInfo` or `StdioServerInfo` object that contains connection information.\n- `description` is _optional_ and provides context to the LLM about what the tool does.\n\n### Results\n\nThe Tool return results as a list of JSON objects, representing `TextContent`, `ImageContent`, or `EmbeddedResource` types from the mcp-sdk.\n\n## Usage\n\nInstall the MCP-Haystack integration to use the `MCPTool`:\n\n```shell\npip install mcp-haystack\n```\n\n### With Streamable HTTP Transport\n\nYou can create an `MCPTool` that connects to an external HTTP server using streamable-http transport:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPTool, StreamableHttpServerInfo\n\n## Create an MCP tool that connects to an HTTP server\nserver_info = StreamableHttpServerInfo(url=\"http://localhost:8000/mcp\")\ntool = MCPTool(name=\"my_tool\", server_info=server_info)\n\n## Use the tool\nresult = tool.invoke(param1=\"value1\", param2=\"value2\")\n```\n\n### With SSE Transport (deprecated)\n\n:::warning\nSSE transport has been [deprecated by the MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/transports#streamable-http) in favor of Streamable HTTP. Use [Streamable HTTP](#with-streamable-http-transport) for new integrations. If you are connecting to an existing SSE-only server, `SSEServerInfo` will continue to work, but consider migrating to `StreamableHttpServerInfo` when the server supports it.\n:::\n\nYou can create an `MCPTool` that connects to an external HTTP server using SSE transport:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPTool, SSEServerInfo\n\n## Create an MCP tool that connects to an HTTP server\nserver_info = SSEServerInfo(url=\"http://localhost:8000/sse\")\ntool = MCPTool(name=\"my_tool\", server_info=server_info)\n\n## Use the tool\nresult = tool.invoke(param1=\"value1\", param2=\"value2\")\n```\n\n### With StdIO Transport\n\nYou can also create an `MCPTool` that executes a local program directly and connects to it through stdio transport:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPTool, StdioServerInfo\n\n## Create an MCP tool that uses stdio transport\nserver_info = StdioServerInfo(\n command=\"uvx\",\n args=[\"mcp-server-time\", \"--local-timezone=Europe/Berlin\"],\n)\ntool = MCPTool(name=\"get_current_time\", server_info=server_info)\n\n## Get the current time in New York\nresult = tool.invoke(timezone=\"America/New_York\")\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nYou can integrate an `MCPTool` into a pipeline with a `ChatGenerator` and a `ToolInvoker`:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPTool, StdioServerInfo\n\ntime_tool = MCPTool(\n name=\"get_current_time\",\n server_info=StdioServerInfo(\n command=\"uvx\",\n args=[\"mcp-server-time\", \"--local-timezone=Europe/Berlin\"],\n ),\n)\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[time_tool]),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[time_tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"adapter\",\n OutputAdapter(\n template=\"{{ initial_msg + initial_tool_messages + tool_messages }}\",\n output_type=list[ChatMessage],\n unsafe=True,\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"response_llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"adapter.initial_tool_messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"tool_invoker.tool_messages\", \"adapter.tool_messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"adapter.output\", \"response_llm.messages\")\n\nuser_input = \"What is the time in New York? Be brief.\" # can be any city\nuser_input_msg = ChatMessage.from_user(text=user_input)\n\nresult = pipeline.run(\n {\n \"llm\": {\"messages\": [user_input_msg]},\n \"adapter\": {\"initial_msg\": [user_input_msg]},\n },\n)\n\nprint(result[\"response_llm\"][\"replies\"][0].text)\n## The current time in New York is 1:57 PM.\n```\n\n### With the Agent Component\n\nYou can use `MCPTool` with the [Agent](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx) component. Internally, the `Agent` component includes a `ToolInvoker` and the ChatGenerator of your choice to execute tool calls and process tool results.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\n\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPTool, StdioServerInfo\n\ntime_tool = MCPTool(\n name=\"get_current_time\",\n server_info=StdioServerInfo(\n command=\"uvx\",\n args=[\"mcp-server-time\", \"--local-timezone=Europe/Berlin\"],\n ),\n)\n\n## Agent Setup\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[time_tool],\n exit_conditions=[\"text\"],\n)\n\n## Run the Agent\nresponse = agent.run(\n messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the time in New York?

\n\n## Overview\n\nMCPToolset is a subclass of `Toolset` that dynamically discovers and loads tools from any MCP-compliant server.\n\nIt supports:\n\n- **Streamable HTTP** for connecting to HTTP servers\n- **SSE (Server-Sent Events)** _(deprecated)_ for remote MCP servers through HTTP\n- **StdIO** for local tool execution through subprocess\n\nThe MCPToolset makes it easy to plug external tools into pipelines (with Chat Generators and `ToolInvoker`) or agents, with built-in support for filtering (with `tool_names`).\n\n### Parameters\n\nTo initialize the MCPToolset, use the following parameters:\n\n- `server_info` (required): Connection information for the MCP server\n- `tool_names` (optional): A list of tool names to add to the Toolset\n\n:::info\nNote that if `tool_names` is not specified, all tools from the MCP server will be loaded. Be cautious if there are many tools (20–30+), as this can overwhelm the LLM’s tool resolution logic.\n:::\n\n### Installation\n\n```shell\npip install mcp-haystack\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### With StdIO Transport\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPToolset, StdioServerInfo\n\nserver_info = StdioServerInfo(\n command=\"uvx\",\n args=[\"mcp-server-time\", \"--local-timezone=Europe/Berlin\"],\n)\ntoolset = MCPToolset(\n server_info=server_info,\n tool_names=[\"get_current_time\"],\n) # If tool_names is omitted, all tools on this MCP server will be loaded (can overwhelm LLM if too many)\n```\n\n### With Streamable HTTP Transport\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPToolset, StreamableHttpServerInfo\n\nserver_info = SSEServerInfo(url=\"http://localhost:8000/mcp\")\ntoolset = MCPToolset(server_info=server_info, tool_names=[\"get_current_time\"])\n```\n\n### With SSE Transport (deprecated)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPToolset, SSEServerInfo\n\nserver_info = SSEServerInfo(url=\"http://localhost:8000/sse\")\ntoolset = MCPToolset(server_info=server_info, tool_names=[\"get_current_time\"])\n```\n\n### In a Pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPToolset, StdioServerInfo\n\nserver_info = StdioServerInfo(\n command=\"uvx\",\n args=[\"mcp-server-time\", \"--local-timezone=Europe/Berlin\"],\n)\ntoolset = MCPToolset(server_info=server_info)\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=toolset))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=toolset))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"adapter\",\n OutputAdapter(\n template=\"{{ initial_msg + initial_tool_messages + tool_messages }}\",\n output_type=list[ChatMessage],\n unsafe=True,\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"response_llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"adapter.initial_tool_messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"tool_invoker.tool_messages\", \"adapter.tool_messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"adapter.output\", \"response_llm.messages\")\n\nuser_input = ChatMessage.from_user(text=\"What is the time in New York?\")\nresult = pipeline.run(\n {\"llm\": {\"messages\": [user_input]}, \"adapter\": {\"initial_msg\": [user_input]}},\n)\n\nprint(result[\"response_llm\"][\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\n### With the Agent\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.tools.mcp import MCPToolset, StdioServerInfo\n\ntoolset = MCPToolset(\n server_info=StdioServerInfo(\n command=\"uvx\",\n args=[\"mcp-server-time\", \"--local-timezone=Europe/Berlin\"],\n ),\n tool_names=[\n \"get_current_time\",\n ], # Omit to load all tools, but may overwhelm LLM if many\n)\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=toolset,\n exit_conditions=[\"text\"],\n)\n\nresponse = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the time in New York?\")])\nprint(response[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/tools/pipelinetool.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"PipelineTool\"\nid: pipelinetool\nslug: \"/pipelinetool\"\ndescription: \"Wraps a Haystack pipeline so an LLM can call it as a tool.\"\n---\n\n# PipelineTool\n\nWraps a Haystack pipeline so an LLM can call it as a tool.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\n`PipelineTool` lets you wrap a whole Haystack pipeline and expose it as a tool that an LLM can call.\nIt replaces the older workflow of first wrapping a pipeline in a `SuperComponent` and then passing that to\n`ComponentTool`.\n\n`PipelineTool` builds the tool parameter schema from the pipeline’s input sockets and uses the underlying components’ docstrings for input descriptions. You can choose which pipeline inputs and outputs to expose with\n`input_mapping` and `output_mapping`. It works with both `Pipeline` and `AsyncPipeline` and can be used in a pipeline with `ToolInvoker` or directly with the `Agent` component.\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `pipeline` is mandatory and must be a `Pipeline` or `AsyncPipeline` instance.\n- `name` is mandatory and specifies the tool name.\n- `description` is mandatory and explains what the tool does.\n- `input_mapping` is optional. It maps tool input names to pipeline input socket paths. If omitted, a default\n mapping is created from all pipeline inputs.\n- `output_mapping` is optional. It maps pipeline output socket paths to tool output names. If omitted, a default\n mapping is created from all pipeline outputs.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Basic Usage\n\nYou can create a `PipelineTool` from any existing Haystack pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import PipelineTool\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.rankers.sentence_transformers_similarity import (\n SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker,\n)\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\n## Create your pipeline\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\n## Add some example documents\ndocument_store.write_documents(\n [\n Document(\n content=\"Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Thomas Edison promoted direct current (DC) and competed with AC in the War of Currents.\",\n ),\n ],\n)\nretrieval_pipeline = Pipeline()\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"bm25_retriever\",\n InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"ranker\",\n SentenceTransformersSimilarityRanker(model=\"cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2\"),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.connect(\"bm25_retriever.documents\", \"ranker.documents\")\n\n## Wrap the pipeline as a tool\nretrieval_tool = PipelineTool(\n pipeline=retrieval_pipeline,\n input_mapping={\"query\": [\"bm25_retriever.query\", \"ranker.query\"]},\n output_mapping={\"ranker.documents\": \"documents\"},\n name=\"retrieval_tool\",\n description=\"Search short articles about Nikola Tesla, AC electricity, and related inventors\",\n)\n```\n\n### In a pipeline\n\nCreate a `PipelineTool` from a retrieval pipeline and let an `OpenAIChatGenerator` use it as a tool in a pipeline.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import PipelineTool\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\nfrom haystack.components.embedders.sentence_transformers_text_embedder import (\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.embedders.sentence_transformers_document_embedder import (\n SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,\n)\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Initialize a document store and add some documents\ndocument_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()\ndocument_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(\n model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n)\ndocuments = [\n Document(\n content=\"Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer.\",\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"He is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.\",\n ),\n]\ndocument_embedder.warm_up()\ndocs_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents=documents)[\"documents\"]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs_with_embeddings)\n\n## Build a simple retrieval pipeline\nretrieval_pipeline = Pipeline()\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"embedder\",\n SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\"),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.add_component(\n \"retriever\",\n InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store),\n)\nretrieval_pipeline.connect(\"embedder.embedding\", \"retriever.query_embedding\")\n\n## Wrap the pipeline as a tool\nretriever_tool = PipelineTool(\n pipeline=retrieval_pipeline,\n input_mapping={\"query\": [\"embedder.text\"]},\n output_mapping={\"retriever.documents\": \"documents\"},\n name=\"document_retriever\",\n description=\"For any questions about Nikola Tesla, always use this tool\",\n)\n\n## Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[retriever_tool]),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[retriever_tool]))\n\n## Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Use the document retriever tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\",\n)\n\n## Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n### With the Agent Component\n\nUse `PipelineTool` with the [Agent](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx) component.

\n\n## Overview\n\n`GitHubFileEditorTool` wraps the [`GitHubFileEditor`](../../pipeline-components/connectors/githubfileeditor.mdx) component, providing a tool interface for use in agent workflows and tool-based pipelines.\n\nThe tool supports multiple file operations including editing existing files, creating new files, deleting files, and undoing recent changes. It supports four main commands:\n\n- **EDIT**: Edit an existing file by replacing specific content\n- **CREATE**: Create a new file with specified content\n- **DELETE**: Delete an existing file\n- **UNDO**: Revert the last commit if made by the same user\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `name` is _optional_ and defaults to \"file_editor\". Specifies the name of the tool.\n- `description` is _optional_ and provides context to the LLM about what the tool does.\n- `github_token` is _mandatory_ and must be a GitHub personal access token for API authentication. The default setting uses the environment variable `GITHUB_TOKEN`.\n- `repo` is _optional_ and sets a default repository in owner/repo format.\n- `branch` is _optional_ and defaults to \"main\".

\n\n## Overview\n\n`SearchableToolset` is designed for working with large tool catalogs.\nInstead of exposing all tools at once, which can overwhelm the LLM context, it provides a single `search_tools` bootstrap tool.\nThe agent uses this tool to find and load specific tools from the catalog using BM25 keyword search.\n\nOnce the agent calls `search_tools`, the matching tools become immediately available and the agent can invoke them in\nsubsequent iterations.\n\n### Modes of operation\n\n`SearchableToolset` operates in one of two modes depending on catalog size:\n\n- **Search mode** (default for large catalogs): The agent starts with only the `search_tools` bootstrap tool and discovers other tools on demand. This is activated when the catalog size meets or exceeds `search_threshold`.\n- **Passthrough mode** (small catalogs): All tools are exposed directly, with no discovery step needed. This is activated automatically when the catalog has fewer tools than `search_threshold`.\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `catalog` (required): The source of tools — a list of `Tool` and/or `Toolset` instances, or a single `Toolset`. This includes [MCPTool](mcptool.mdx) and [MCPToolset](mcptoolset.mdx) instances.\n- `top_k` (optional): The default number of tools returned by each `search_tools` call. Default is `3`.\n- `search_threshold` (optional): Minimum catalog size to activate search mode. Catalogs smaller than this value use passthrough mode instead. Default is `8`.\n\n:::info\n`SearchableToolset` does not support adding new tools after initialization or merging with other toolsets. Use `catalog` to provide all tools upfront.\n:::\n\n## Usage\n\n### Basic usage with an Agent\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function, SearchableToolset\n\n\ndef get_weather(city: Annotated[str, \"The city to get the weather for\"]) -> str:\n \"\"\"Get current weather for a city.\"\"\"\n return f\"Sunny, 22°C in {city}\"\n\n\ndef search_web(query: Annotated[str, \"The search query\"]) -> str:\n \"\"\"Search the web for information.\"\"\"\n return f\"Results for: {query}\"\n\n\n# Build a catalog from tools\ncatalog = [\n create_tool_from_function(get_weather),\n create_tool_from_function(search_web),\n # ... many more tools\n]\n\ntoolset = SearchableToolset(catalog=catalog)\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=toolset,\n)\n\n# The agent initially sees only `search_tools`. It will call it to find relevant tools,\n# then use the discovered tools to answer the question.\nresult = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather in Milan?\")])\nprint(result[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\n### Customizing the bootstrap tool\n\nYou can customize the name, description, and parameter descriptions of the `search_tools` bootstrap tool:\n\n- `search_tool_name`: Custom name for the bootstrap tool. Default is `\"search_tools\"`.\n- `search_tool_description`: Custom description for the bootstrap tool.\n- `search_tool_parameters_description`: Custom descriptions for the bootstrap tool's parameters.

The model prepares the tool call but does not execute it.\n\nIf you are looking for the details of this data class's methods and parameters, visit our [API documentation](/reference/tools-api).\n\n## Tool class\n\n`Tool` is a simple and unified abstraction to represent tools in the Haystack framework.\n\nA tool is a function for which Language Models can prepare a call.\n\nThe `Tool` class is used in Chat Generators and provides a consistent experience across models. `Tool` is also used in the [`ToolInvoker`](../pipeline-components/tools/toolinvoker.mdx) component that executes calls prepared by Language Models.\n\n```python\n@dataclass\nclass Tool:\n name: str\n description: str\n parameters: Dict[str, Any]\n function: Callable\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, Any] | None = None\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None\n```\n\n- `name` is the name of the Tool.\n- `description` is a string describing what the Tool does.\n- `parameters` is a JSON schema describing the expected parameters.\n- `function` is invoked when the Tool is called.\n- `outputs_to_string` (optional) controls how parts of the tool’s output are converted into one or more strings (e.g. for LLM consumption).\n- `inputs_from_state` (optional) maps values from the agent state to the tool’s input parameters (e.g. to share info between tools)\n- `outputs_to_state` (optional) specifies how tool outputs are written back into the agent state, with optional handlers.\n\nKeep in mind that the accurate definitions of `name` and `description` are important for the Language Model to prepare the call correctly.\n\n`Tool` exposes a `tool_spec` property, returning the tool specification to be used by Language Models.\n\nIt also has an `invoke` method that executes the underlying function with the provided parameters.\n\n## Tool Initialization\n\nHere is how to initialize a Tool to work with a specific function:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n\ndef add(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n\nparameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n}\n\nadd_tool = Tool(\n name=\"addition_tool\",\n description=\"This tool adds two numbers\",\n parameters=parameters,\n function=add,\n)\n\nprint(add_tool.tool_spec)\n\nprint(add_tool.invoke(a=15, b=10))\n```\n\n```\n{'name': 'addition_tool',\n 'description': 'This tool adds two numbers',\n 'parameters':{'type': 'object',\n 'properties':{'a':{'type': 'integer'}, 'b':{'type': 'integer'}},\n 'required':['a', 'b']}}\n\n25\n```\n\n### Advanced Tool Configuration\n\n`outputs_to_string` and `outputs_to_state` let you control how a tool’s outputs are surfaced to the LLM and stored in the agent state.\n\nUse them to format structured outputs for the LLM while keeping raw data available for later steps.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\ndef format_documents(documents):\n return \"\\n\".join(f\"{i+1}. Document: {doc.content}\" for i, doc in enumerate(documents))\n\ndef format_summary(metadata):\n return f\"Found {metadata['count']} results\"\n\ntool = Tool(\n name=\"search\",\n description=\"Search for documents\",\n parameters={...},\n function=search_func, # Returns {\"documents\": [Document(...)], \"metadata\": {\"count\": 5}, \"debug_info\": {...}}\n outputs_to_string={\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"documents\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"metadata\", \"handler\": format_summary}\n }\n outputs_to_state={\"documents\": {\"source\": \"documents\"}}, # Save Documents into Agent's state\n)\n\n# After the tool invocation, the tool result includes:\n# {\n# \"formatted_docs\": \"1. Document Title\\n Content...\\n2. ...\",\n# \"summary\": \"Found 5 results\"\n# }\n```\nAfter invocation, only the configured string outputs are returned to the LLM, while selected fields through `outputs_to_state` (like documents) are saved in the agent state.\n\n#### Shaping Tool outputs with `outputs_to_string`\n\nBy default, a tool's return value is converted to a string using a default handler before being sent to the Language Model.\n\nYou can use `outputs_to_string` to customize this behavior using one of two formats:\n1. **Single output format**: Use `source`, `handler`, and/or `raw_result` at the root level.\n ```python\n {\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents, \"raw_result\": False\n }\n ```\n - `source`: (Optional) Specifies the key to extract from the tool's output dictionary. If omitted, the entire result is passed to the handler.\n - `handler`: (Optional) A function that takes the output (or the extracted source value) and returns the final result.\n - `raw_result`: (Optional) If `True`, the result is returned \"as is\" without further string conversion, but applying the `handler` if provided.\n This is intended for multimodal tools returning images. In this mode, the tool or handler should return a list of\n `TextContent` and `ImageContent` objects for compatibility with Chat Generators.\n\n2. **Multiple output format**: Map custom keys to individual configurations.\n ```python\n {\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"summary_text\", \"handler\": str.upper}\n }\n ```\n Each entry defines a `source` key and can optionally include a `handler`. The individual outputs are processed,\n collected into a dictionary, and then converted into a single string (usually a JSON-like representation) for the LLM.\n\n :::note\n `raw_result` is not supported in the multiple output format.\n :::\n\nThe example below shows how to use `outputs_to_string` with `raw_result: True` to return images:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent, TextContent\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\n\ndef retrieve_image():\n \"\"\"Tool to retrieve an image\"\"\"\n return [\n TextContent(\"Here is the retrieved image.\"),\n ImageContent.from_file_path(\"test/test_files/images/apple.jpg\"),\n ]\n\n\nimage_retriever_tool = create_tool_from_function(\n function=retrieve_image,\n outputs_to_string={\"raw_result\": True},\n)\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-5-nano\"),\n system_prompt=\"You are an Agent that can retrieve images and describe them.\",\n tools=[image_retriever_tool],\n)\n\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\n \"Retrieve the image and describe it in max 10 words.\",\n)\nresult = agent.run(messages=[user_message])\n\nprint(result[\"last_message\"].text)\n# Red apple with stem resting on straw.\n```\n\n### @tool decorator\n\nThe `@tool` decorator simplifies converting a function into a Tool. It infers Tool name, description, and parameters from the function and automatically generates a JSON schema. It uses Python's `typing.Annotated` for the description of parameters. If you need to customize Tool name and description, use `create_tool_from_function` instead.\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated, Literal\nfrom haystack.tools import tool\n\n\n@tool\ndef get_weather(\n city: Annotated[str, \"the city for which to get the weather\"] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[\n Literal[\"Celsius\", \"Fahrenheit\"],\n \"the unit for the temperature\",\n ] = \"Celsius\",\n):\n \"\"\"A simple function to get the current weather for a location.\"\"\"\n return f\"Weather report for {city}: 20 {unit}, sunny\"\n\n\nprint(get_weather)\n```\n\n```\nTool(name='get_weather', description='A simple function to get the current weather for a location.',\nparameters={\n'type': 'object',\n'properties': {\n 'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'the city for which to get the weather', 'default': 'Munich'},\n 'unit': {\n 'type': 'string',\n 'enum': ['Celsius', 'Fahrenheit'],\n 'description': 'the unit for the temperature',\n 'default': 'Celsius',\n },\n }\n},\nfunction=)\n```\n\n### create_tool_from_function\n\nThe `create_tool_from_function` method provides more flexibility than the`@tool` decorator and allows setting Tool name and description. It infers the Tool parameters automatically and generates a JSON schema automatically in the same way as the `@tool` decorator.\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated, Literal\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\n\ndef get_weather(\n city: Annotated[str, \"the city for which to get the weather\"] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[\n Literal[\"Celsius\", \"Fahrenheit\"],\n \"the unit for the temperature\",\n ] = \"Celsius\",\n):\n \"\"\"A simple function to get the current weather for a location.\"\"\"\n return f\"Weather report for {city}: 20 {unit}, sunny\"\n\n\ntool = create_tool_from_function(get_weather)\n\nprint(tool)\n```\n\n```\nTool(name='get_weather', description='A simple function to get the current weather for a location.',\nparameters={\n'type': 'object',\n'properties': {\n 'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'the city for which to get the weather', 'default': 'Munich'},\n 'unit': {\n 'type': 'string',\n 'enum': ['Celsius', 'Fahrenheit'],\n 'description': 'the unit for the temperature',\n 'default': 'Celsius',\n },\n }\n},\nfunction=)\n```\n\n## Toolset\n\nA Toolset groups multiple Tool instances into a single manageable unit. It simplifies the passing of tools to components like Chat Generators or `ToolInvoker`, and supports filtering, serialization, and reuse.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Toolset\n\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n```\n\nSee more details and examples on the [Toolset documentation page](toolset.mdx).\n\n## Usage\n\nTo better understand this section, make sure you are also familiar with Haystack's [`ChatMessage`](../concepts/data-classes/chatmessage.mdx) data class.\n\n### Passing Tools to a Chat Generator\n\nUsing the `tools` parameter, you can pass tools as a list of Tool instances or a single Toolset during initialization or in the `run` method. Tools passed at runtime override those set at initialization.\n\n:::info Chat Generators support\n\nNot all Chat Generators currently support tools, but we are actively expanding tool support across more models.\n\nLook out for the `tools` parameter in a specific Chat Generator's `__init__` and `run` methods.\n:::\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\n## Initialize the Chat Generator with the addition tool\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[add_tool])\n\n## here we expect the Tool to be invoked\nres = chat_generator.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"10 + 238\")])\nprint(res)\n\n## here the model can respond without using the Tool\nres = chat_generator.run([ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the habitat of a lion?\")])\nprint(res)\n```\n\n```\n{'replies':[ChatMessage(_role=,\n _content=[ToolCall(tool_name='addition_tool',\n arguments={'a':10, 'b':238},\n id='call_rbYtbCdW0UbWMfy2x0sgF1Ap'\n)],\n _meta={...})]}\n\n\n{'replies':[ChatMessage(_role=,\n _content=[TextContent(text='Lions primarily inhabit grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands. ...'\n)],\n _meta={...})]}\n```\n\nThe same result of the previous run can be achieved by passing tools at runtime:\n\n```python\n## Initialize the Chat Generator without tools\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\")\n\n## pass tools in the run method\nres_w_tool_call = chat_generator.run(\n [ChatMessage.from_user(\"10 + 238\")],\n tools=math_toolset,\n)\nprint(res_w_tool_call)\n```\n\n### Executing Tool Calls\n\nTo execute prepared tool calls, you can use the [`ToolInvoker`](../pipeline-components/tools/toolinvoker.mdx) component. This component acts as the execution engine for tools, processing the calls prepared by the Language Model.\n\nHere's an example:\n\n```python\nimport random\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n## Define a dummy weather toolimport random\n\n\ndef dummy_weather(location: str):\n return {\n \"temp\": f\"{random.randint(-10, 40)} °C\",\n \"humidity\": f\"{random.randint(0, 100)}%\",\n }\n\n\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"A tool to get the weather\",\n function=dummy_weather,\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"location\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"location\"],\n },\n)\n\n## Initialize the Chat Generator with the weather tool\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[weather_tool])\n\n## Initialize the Tool Invoker with the weather tool\ntool_invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=[weather_tool])\n\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the weather in Berlin?\")\n\nreplies = chat_generator.run(messages=[user_message])[\"replies\"]\nprint(f\"assistant messages: {replies}\")\n\n## If the assistant message contains a tool call, run the tool invoker\nif replies[0].tool_calls:\n tool_messages = tool_invoker.run(messages=replies)[\"tool_messages\"]\n print(f\"tool messages: {tool_messages}\")\n```\n\n```\nassistant messages:[ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[ToolCall(tool_name='weather',\narguments={'location': 'Berlin'}, id='call_YEvCEAmlvc42JGXV84NU8wtV')], _meta={'model': 'gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18',\n'index':0, 'finish_reason': 'tool_calls', 'usage':{'completion_tokens':13, 'prompt_tokens':50, 'total_tokens':\n63}})]\n\ntool messages: [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[ToolCallResult(result=\"{'temp': '22 °C',\n'humidity': '35%'}\", origin=ToolCall(tool_name='weather', arguments={'location': 'Berlin'},\nid='call_YEvCEAmlvc42JGXV84NU8wtV'), error=False)], _meta={})]\n```\n\n### Processing Tool Results with the Chat Generator\n\nIn some cases, the raw output from a tool may not be immediately suitable for the end user.\n\nYou can refine the tool’s response by passing it back to the Chat Generator. This generates a user-friendly and conversational message.\n\nIn this example, we’ll pass the tool’s response back to the Chat Generator for final processing:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n## Define a dummy weather toolimport random\n\n\ndef dummy_weather(location: str):\n return {\n \"temp\": f\"{random.randint(-10, 40)} °C\",\n \"humidity\": f\"{random.randint(0, 100)}%\",\n }\n\n\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"A tool to get the weather\",\n function=dummy_weather,\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"location\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"location\"],\n },\n)\n\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[weather_tool])\ntool_invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=[weather_tool])\n\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is the weather in Berlin?\")\n\nreplies = chat_generator.run(messages=[user_message])[\"replies\"]\nprint(f\"assistant messages: {replies}\")\n\nif replies[0].tool_calls:\n tool_messages = tool_invoker.run(messages=replies)[\"tool_messages\"]\n print(f\"tool messages: {tool_messages}\")\n # we pass all the messages to the Chat Generator\n messages = [user_message] + replies + tool_messages\n final_replies = chat_generator.run(messages=messages)[\"replies\"]\n print(f\"final assistant messages: {final_replies}\")\n```\n\n```\nassistant messages:[ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[ToolCall(tool_name='weather',\narguments={'location': 'Berlin'}, id='call_jHX0RCDHRKX7h8V9RrNs6apy')], _meta={'model': 'gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18',\n'index':0, 'finish_reason': 'tool_calls', 'usage':{'completion_tokens':13, 'prompt_tokens':50, 'total_tokens':\n63}})]\n\ntool messages: [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[ToolCallResult(result=\"{'temp': '2 °C',\n'humidity': '15%'}\", origin=ToolCall(tool_name='weather', arguments={'location': 'Berlin'},\nid='call_jHX0RCDHRKX7h8V9RrNs6apy'), error=False)], _meta={})]\n\nfinal assistant messages: [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text='The\ncurrent weather in Berlin is 2 °C with a humidity level of 15%.')], _meta={'model': 'gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18',\n'index': 0, 'finish_reason': 'stop', 'usage': {'completion_tokens': 19, 'prompt_tokens': 85, 'total_tokens':\n104}})]\n```\n\n### Passing Tools to Agent\n\nYou can also use `Tool` with the [Agent](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx) component. Internally, the `Agent` component includes a `ToolInvoker` and the ChatGenerator of your choice to execute tool calls and process tool results.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools.tool import Tool\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom typing import List\n\n\n## Tool Function\ndef calculate(expression: str) -> dict:\n try:\n result = eval(expression, {\"__builtins__\": {}})\n return {\"result\": result}\n except Exception as e:\n return {\"error\": str(e)}\n\n\n## Tool Definition\ncalculator_tool = Tool(\n name=\"calculator\",\n description=\"Evaluate basic math expressions.\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"expression\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"description\": \"Math expression to evaluate\",\n },\n },\n \"required\": [\"expression\"],\n },\n function=calculate,\n outputs_to_state={\"calc_result\": {\"source\": \"result\"}},\n)\n\n## Agent Setup\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[calculator_tool],\n exit_conditions=[\"calculator\"],\n state_schema={\n \"calc_result\": {\"type\": int},\n },\n)\n\n## Run the Agent\nresponse = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is 7 * (4 + 2)?\")])\n\n## Output\nprint(response[\"messages\"])\nprint(\"Calc Result:\", response.get(\"calc_result\"))\n```\n\n## Additional References\n\n🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks:\n\n- [Build a GitHub Issue Resolver Agent](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/github_issue_resolver_agent)\n- [Newsletter Sending Agent with Haystack Tools](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/newsletter-agent)\n- [Create a Swarm of Agents](https://haystack.deepset.ai/cookbook/swarm)\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/docs/tools/toolset.mdx", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Toolset\"\nid: toolset\nslug: \"/toolset\"\ndescription: \"Group multiple Tools into a single unit.\"\n---\n\n# Toolset\n\nGroup multiple Tools into a single unit.\n\n

\n\n## Overview\n\nA `Toolset` groups multiple Tool instances into a single manageable unit. It simplifies passing tools to components like Chat Generators, [`ToolInvoker`](../pipeline-components/tools/toolinvoker.mdx), or [`Agent`](../pipeline-components/agents-1/agent.mdx), and supports filtering, serialization, and reuse.\n\nAdditionally, by subclassing `Toolset`, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n\n### Initializing Toolset\n\nHere’s how to initialize `Toolset` with [Tool](tool.mdx). Alternatively, you can use [ComponentTool](componenttool.mdx) or [MCPTool](mcptool.mdx) in `Toolset` as Tool instances.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n\n\n## Define math functions\ndef add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n\ndef subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n\n## Create tools with proper schemas\nadd_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=add_numbers,\n)\n\nsubtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=subtract_numbers,\n)\n\n## Create a toolset with the math tools\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n```\n\n### Adding New Tools to Toolset\n\n```python\ndef multiply_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a * b\n\n\nmultiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=multiply_numbers,\n)\n\nmath_toolset.add(multiply_tool)\n\n## or, you can merge toolsets together\nmath_toolset.add(another_toolset)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nYou can use `Toolset` wherever you can use Tools in Haystack.\n\n### With ChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n## Create a toolset with the math tools\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=math_toolset)\n\n## Initialize the Tool Invoker with the weather tool\ntool_invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n\nuser_message = ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is 10 minus 5?\")\n\nreplies = chat_generator.run(messages=[user_message])[\"replies\"]\nprint(f\"assistant message: {replies}\")\n\n## If the assistant message contains a tool call, run the tool invoker\nif replies[0].tool_calls:\n tool_messages = tool_invoker.run(messages=replies)[\"tool_messages\"]\n print(f\"tool result: {tool_messages[0].tool_call_result.result}\")\n```\n\nOutput:\n\n```\nassistant message: [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[ToolCall(tool_name='subtract', arguments={'a': 10, 'b': 5}, id='call_awGa5q7KtQ9BrMGPTj6IgEH1')], _name=None, _meta={'model': 'gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18', 'index': 0, 'finish_reason': 'tool_calls', 'usage': {'completion_tokens': 18, 'prompt_tokens': 75, 'total_tokens': 93, 'completion_tokens_details': CompletionTokensDetails(accepted_prediction_tokens=0, audio_tokens=0, reasoning_tokens=0, rejected_prediction_tokens=0), 'prompt_tokens_details': PromptTokensDetails(audio_tokens=0, cached_tokens=0)}})]\ntool result: 5\n```\n\n### In a Pipeline\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmath_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\n \"llm\",\n OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=math_toolset),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset))\npipeline.add_component(\n \"adapter\",\n OutputAdapter(\n template=\"{{ initial_msg + initial_tool_messages + tool_messages }}\",\n output_type=list[ChatMessage],\n unsafe=True,\n ),\n)\npipeline.add_component(\"response_llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"adapter.initial_tool_messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"tool_invoker.tool_messages\", \"adapter.tool_messages\")\npipeline.connect(\"adapter.output\", \"response_llm.messages\")\n\nuser_input = \"What is 2+2?\"\nuser_input_msg = ChatMessage.from_user(text=user_input)\n\nresult = pipeline.run(\n {\n \"llm\": {\"messages\": [user_input_msg]},\n \"adapter\": {\"initial_msg\": [user_input_msg]},\n },\n)\n\nprint(result[\"response_llm\"][\"replies\"][0].text)\n```\n\nOutput:\n\n```\n2 + 2 equals 4.\n```\n\n### With the Agent\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"),\n tools=math_toolset,\n)\n\nresponse = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What is 4 + 2?\")])\n\nprint(response[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\nOutput:\n\n```\n4 + 2 equals 6.\n```\n" }, {

Each `chat_history_id` value corresponds to a\nseparate list of `ChatMessage` objects stored in memory.\n\nTypical usage involves providing a unique `chat_history_id` (for example, a session ID or conversation ID)\nwhenever you write, read, or delete messages. This ensures that chat messages from different\nconversations do not overlap.\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_experimental.chat_message_stores.in_memory import InMemoryChatMessageStore\n\nmessage_store = InMemoryChatMessageStore()\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_assistant(\"Hello, how can I help you?\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Hi, I have a question about Python.

ChatMessageStore.\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_experimental.components.writers import ChatMessageWriter\nfrom haystack_experimental.chat_message_stores.in_memory import InMemoryChatMessageStore\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_assistant(\"Hello, how can I help you?\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"I have a question about Python.\"),\n]\nmessage_store = InMemoryChatMessageStore()\nwriter = ChatMessageWriter(message_store)\nwriter.run(chat_history_id=\"user_456_session_123\", messages=messages)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageWriter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(chat_message_store: ChatMessageStore) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a ChatMessageWriter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_message_store`: The ChatMessageStore where the chat messages are to be written.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageWriter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageWriter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ChatMessageWriter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n-

Agent powered by a large language model.\n\nThe Agent processes messages and calls tools until it meets an exit condition.\nYou can set one or more exit conditions to control when it stops.\nFor example, it can stop after generating a response or after calling a tool.\n\nWithout tools, the Agent works like a standard LLM that generates text. It produces one response and then stops.\n\n### Usage examples\n\nThis is an example agent that:\n\n1. Searches for tipping customs in France.\n1. Uses a calculator to compute tips based on its findings.\n1. Returns the final answer with its context.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n# Tool functions - in practice, these would have real implementations\ndef search(query: str) -> str:\n '''Search for information on the web.'''\n # Placeholder: would call actual search API\n return \"In France, a 15% service charge is typically included, but leaving 5-10% extra is appreciated.\"\n\ndef calculator(operation: str, a: float, b: float) -> float:\n '''Perform mathematical calculations.'''\n if operation == \"multiply\":\n return a * b\n elif operation == \"percentage\":\n return (a / 100) * b\n return 0\n\n# Define tools with JSON Schema\ntools = [\n Tool(\n name=\"search\",\n description=\"Searches for information on the web\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"query\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"description\": \"The search query\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"query\"]\n },\n function=search\n ),\n Tool(\n name=\"calculator\",\n description=\"Performs mathematical calculations\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"operation\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"description\": \"Operation: multiply, percentage\"},\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"number\", \"description\": \"First number\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"number\", \"description\": \"Second number\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"operation\", \"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=calculator\n )\n]\n\n# Create and run the agent\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=tools\n)\n\nresult = agent.run(\n messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Calculate the appropriate tip for an €85 meal in France\")]\n)\n\nprint(result[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\n#### Using a `user_prompt` template with variables\n\nYou can define a reusable `user_prompt` with Jinja2 template variables so the Agent can be invoked\nwith different inputs without manually constructing `ChatMessage` objects each time.\nThis is especially useful when embedding the Agent in a pipeline or calling it in a loop.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.tools import tool\nfrom typing import Annotated\n\n\n@tool\ndef translate(\n text: Annotated[str, \"The text to translate\"],\n target_language: Annotated[str, \"The language to translate to\"],\n) -> str:\n \"\"\"Translate text to a target language.\"\"\"\n # Placeholder: would call an actual translation API\n return f\"[Translated '{text}' to {target_language}]\"\n\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=[translate],\n system_prompt=\"You are a helpful translation assistant.\",\n user_prompt=\"\"\"{% message role=\"user\"%}\nTranslate the following document to {{ language }}: {{ document }}\n{% endmessage %}\"\"\",\n required_variables=[\"language\", \"document\"],\n)\n\n# The template variables 'language' and 'document' become inputs to the run method\nresult = agent.run(\n language=\"French\",\n document=\"The weather is lovely today and the sun is shining.\",\n)\n\nprint(result[\"last_message\"].text)\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n chat_generator: ChatGenerator,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n system_prompt: str | None = None,\n user_prompt: str | None = None,\n required_variables: list[str] | Literal[\"*\"] | None = None,\n exit_conditions: list[str] | None = None,\n state_schema: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n max_agent_steps: int = 100,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n raise_on_tool_invocation_failure: bool = False,\n tool_invoker_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n confirmation_strategies: (\n dict[str | tuple[str, ...], ConfirmationStrategy] | None\n ) = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the agent component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **chat_generator** (ChatGenerator) – An instance of the chat generator that your agent should use.

Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}.

The component looks for Jinja2 template syntax and\n renders the prompt with the provided variables. Provide the template in either\n the `init` method`or the`run\\` method.\n- **required_variables** (list\\[str\\] | Literal['\\*'] | None) – List variables that must be provided as input to ChatPromptBuilder.\n If a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\n If set to `\"*\"`, all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- **variables** (list\\[str\\] | None) – List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n `template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\n in the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n template: list[ChatMessage] | str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs: Any\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables with pipeline kwargs.\nTo overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nTo overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **template** (list\\[ChatMessage\\] | str | None) – An optional list of `ChatMessage` objects or string template to overwrite ChatPromptBuilder's default\n template.\n If `None`, the default template provided at initialization is used.\n- **template_variables** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- **kwargs** (Any) – Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[ChatMessage\\]\\] – A dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated list of `ChatMessage` objects after rendering the templates.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If `chat_messages` is empty or contains elements that are not instances of `ChatMessage`.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Serialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> ChatPromptBuilder\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary to deserialize and create the component.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- ChatPromptBuilder – The deserialized component.\n\n## prompt_builder\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\n\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\n\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n template: str,\n required_variables: list[str] | Literal[\"*\"] | None = None,\n variables: list[str] | None = None,\n) -> None\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **template** (str) – A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n `\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\n It's used to render the prompt.\n The variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\n unless explicitly specified.\n If an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- **required_variables** (list\\[str\\] | Literal['\\*'] | None) – List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\n If a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\n If set to `\"*\"`, all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- **variables** (list\\[str\\] | None) – List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n `template` parameter.

It dynamically interprets the API specification and\nprovides an interface for executing API operations. It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\nExample:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\nNote:\n\n- The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n- The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Secret | None = None,\n service_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **openapi_spec** (str) – URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- **credentials** (Secret | None) – Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- **service_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\n For example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> OpenAPIConnector\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n operation_id: str, arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None\n) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **operation_id** (str) – The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- **arguments** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary containing the service response\n\n## openapi_service\n\n### patch_request\n\n```python\npatch_request(\n self: Operation,\n base_url: str,\n *,\n data: Any | None = None,\n parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raw_response: bool = False,\n security: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n session: Any | None = None,\n verify: bool | str = True\n) -> Any | None\n```\n\nSends an HTTP request as described by this path.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **base_url** (str) – The URL to append this operation's path to when making\n the call.\n- **data** (Any | None) – The request body to send.\n- **parameters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – The parameters used to create the path.\n- **raw_response** (bool) – If true, return the raw response instead of validating\n and exterpolating it.\n- **security** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – The security scheme to use, and the values it needs to\n process successfully.\n- **session** (Any | None) – A persistent request session.\n- **verify** (bool | str) – If we should do an ssl verification on the request or not.\n In case str was provided, will use that as the CA.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- Any | None – The response data, either raw or processed depending on raw_response flag.\n\n### OpenAPIServiceConnector\n\nA component which connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services.\n\nThe `OpenAPIServiceConnector` component connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services, enabling it to call\noperations as defined in the OpenAPI specification of the service.\n\nIt integrates with `ChatMessage` dataclass, where the payload in messages is used to determine the method to be\ncalled and the parameters to be passed. The message payload should be an OpenAI JSON formatted function calling\nstring consisting of the method name and the parameters to be passed to the method. The method name and parameters\nare then used to invoke the method on the OpenAPI service. The response from the service is returned as a\n`ChatMessage`.\n\nBefore using this component, users usually resolve service endpoint parameters with a help of\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component.\n\nThe example below demonstrates how to use the `OpenAPIServiceConnector` to invoke a method on a https://serper.dev/\nservice specified via OpenAPI specification.\n\nNote, however, that `OpenAPIServiceConnector` is usually not meant to be used directly, but rather as part of a\npipeline that includes the `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component and an `OpenAIChatGenerator` component using LLM\nwith the function calling capabilities. In the example below we use the function calling payload directly, but in a\nreal-world scenario, the function calling payload would usually be generated by the `OpenAIChatGenerator` component.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nfc_payload = [{'function': {'arguments': '{\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"}', 'name': 'search'},\n 'id': 'call_PmEBYvZ7mGrQP5PUASA5m9wO', 'type': 'function'}]\n\nserper_token = \nserperdev_openapi_spec = json.loads(requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text)\nservice_connector = OpenAPIServiceConnector()\nresult = service_connector.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_assistant(json.dumps(fc_payload))],\n service_openapi_spec=serperdev_openapi_spec, service_credentials=serper_token)\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'service_response': ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text=\n>> '{\"searchParameters\": {\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\",\n>> \"type\": \"search\", \"engine\": \"google\"}, \"answerBox\": {\"snippet\": \"Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role\n>> in protecting were at the center of Altman's brief ouster from the company.\"...\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(ssl_verify: bool | str | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the OpenAPIServiceConnector instance\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **ssl_verify** ([bool | str | None) – Decide if to use SSL verification to the requests or not,\n in case a string is passed, will be used as the CA.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n service_openapi_spec: dict[str, Any],\n service_credentials: dict | str | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nProcesses a list of chat messages to invoke a method on an OpenAPI service.\n\nIt parses the last message in the list, expecting it to contain tool calls.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects containing the messages to be processed.

The\n response is in JSON format, and the `content` attribute of the `ChatMessage` contains\n the JSON string.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the last message is not from the assistant or if it does not contain tool calls.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> OpenAPIServiceConnector\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- OpenAPIServiceConnector – The deserialized component.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Converters\"\nid: converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n## azure\n\n### AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

(float) – This parameter determines whether two characters are considered to be on\n the same line based on the amount of overlap between them.\n The overlap is calculated relative to the minimum height of both characters.\n- **char_margin** (float) – Determines whether two characters are part of the same line based on the distance between them.\n If the distance is less than the margin specified, the characters are considered to be on the same line.\n The margin is calculated relative to the width of the character.\n- **word_margin** (float) – Determines whether two characters on the same line are part of the same word\n based on the distance between them. If the distance is greater than the margin specified,\n an intermediate space will be added between them to make the text more readable.\n The margin is calculated relative to the width of the character.\n- **line_margin** (float) – This parameter determines whether two lines are part of the same paragraph based on\n the distance between them.

Setting the value to 'None' will disable advanced\n layout analysis, and text boxes will be ordered based on the position of their bottom left corner.\n- **detect_vertical** (bool) – This parameter determines whether vertical text should be considered during layout analysis.\n- **all_texts** (bool) – If layout analysis should be performed on text in figures.\n- **store_full_path** (bool) – If True, the full path of the file is stored in the metadata of the document.\n If False, only the file name is stored.\n\n#### detect_undecoded_cid_characters\n\n```python\ndetect_undecoded_cid_characters(text: str) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nLook for character sequences of CID, i.e.: characters that haven't been properly decoded from their CID format.\n\nThis is useful to detect if the text extractor is not able to extract the text correctly, e.g. if the PDF uses\nnon-standard fonts.\n\nA PDF font may include a ToUnicode map (mapping from character code to Unicode) to support operations like\nsearching strings or copy & paste in a PDF viewer. This map immediately provides the mapping the text extractor\nneeds. If that map is not available the text extractor cannot decode the CID characters and will return them\nas is.\n\nsee: https://pdfminersix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-are-there-cid-x-values-in-the-textual-output\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **text** (str) – The text to check for undecoded CID characters\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – A dictionary containing detection results\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n sources: list[str | Path | ByteStream],\n meta: dict[str, Any] | list[dict[str, Any]] | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nConverts PDF files to Documents.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **sources** (list\\[str | Path | ByteStream\\]) – List of PDF file paths or ByteStream objects.\n- **meta** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | list\\[dict\\[str, Any\\]\\] | None) – Optional metadata to attach to the Documents.\n This value can be either a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\n If it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all produced Documents.\n If it's a list, the length of the list must match the number of sources, because the two lists will\n be zipped.\n If `sources` contains ByteStream objects, their `meta` will be added to the output Documents.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – A dictionary with the following keys:\n- `documents`: Created Documents\n\n## pptx\n\n### PPTXToDocument\n\nConverts PPTX files to Documents.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.converters.pptx import PPTXToDocument\n\nconverter = PPTXToDocument()\nresults = converter.run(sources=[\"sample.pptx\"], meta={\"date_added\": datetime.now().isoformat()})\ndocuments = results[\"documents\"]\nprint(documents[0].content)\n# 'This is the text from the PPTX file.'\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n store_full_path: bool = False,\n link_format: Literal[\"markdown\", \"plain\", \"none\"] = \"none\",\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a PPTXToDocument component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **store_full_path** (bool) – If True, the full path of the file is stored in the metadata of the document.\n If False, only the file name is stored.\n- **link_format** (Literal['markdown', 'plain', 'none']) – The format for link output.

The prompt should have a variable called\n`document` that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So to access the content of the document,\nyou can use `{{ document.content }}` in the prompt.\n\nThe component will run the LLM on each document in the list and extract metadata from the document. The metadata\nwill be added to the document's metadata field. If the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, the document\nwill be added to the `failed_documents` list. The failed documents will have the keys `metadata_extraction_error` and\n`metadata_extraction_response` in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with another extractor to\nextract metadata by using the `metadata_extraction_response` and `metadata_extraction_error` in the prompt.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.llm_metadata_extractor import LLMMetadataExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nNER_PROMPT = '''\n-Goal-\nGiven text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.\n\n-Steps-\n1.

Falls back on any exception raised by a generator.\nIf all chat generators fail, it raises a RuntimeError with details.\n\nTimeout enforcement is fully delegated to the underlying chat generators. The fallback mechanism will only\nwork correctly if the underlying chat generators implement proper timeout handling and raise exceptions\nwhen timeouts occur. For predictable latency guarantees, ensure your chat generators:\n\n- Support a `timeout` parameter in their initialization\n- Implement timeout as total wall-clock time (shared deadline for both streaming and non-streaming)\n- Raise timeout exceptions (e.g., TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError, httpx.TimeoutException) when exceeded\n\nNote: Most well-implemented chat generators (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) support timeout parameters\nwith consistent semantics. For HTTP-based LLM providers, a single timeout value (e.g., `timeout=30`)\ntypically applies to all connection phases: connection setup, read, write, and pool.

Unless specified otherwise in `model`, uses OpenAI's gpt-5-mini\n\nBefore initializing the component, you can set the 'OPENAI_TIMEOUT' and 'OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES'\nenvironment variables to override the `timeout` and `max_retries` parameters respectively\nin the OpenAI client.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **api_key** (Secret) – The OpenAI API key.\n You can set it with an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or pass with this parameter\n during initialization.\n- **model** (str) – The name of the model to use.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n The callback function accepts [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk)\n as an argument.\n- **api_base_url** (str | None) – An optional base URL.\n- **organization** (str | None) – Your organization ID, defaults to `None`. See\n [production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent directly to\n the OpenAI endpoint. See OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) for\n more details.\n Some of the supported parameters:\n- `max_completion_tokens`: An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion,\n including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens. The keys of the dictionary are tokens, and the\n values are the bias to add to that token.\n- **timeout** (float | None) – Timeout for OpenAI Client calls, if not set it is inferred from the `OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable\n or set to 30.\n- **max_retries** (int | None) – Maximum retries to establish contact with OpenAI if it returns an internal error, if not set it is inferred\n from the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable or set to 5.\n- **http_client_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\n For more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/#client).\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – The serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> OpenAIGenerator\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- OpenAIGenerator – The deserialized component instance.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n prompt: str,\n system_prompt: str | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[str] | list[dict[str, Any]]]\n```\n\nInvoke the text generation inference based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **prompt** (str) – The string prompt to use for text generation.\n- **system_prompt** (str | None) – The system prompt to use for text generation.

This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component(\"joiner\", BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component(\"generator\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4.1-mini\"))\npipe.add_component(\"validator\", JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"joiner\": {\"value\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation.

Additionally, it provides options to keep document IDs and\ncontrol whether empty rows and columns should be removed.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n ignore_rows: int = 0,\n ignore_columns: int = 0,\n remove_empty_rows: bool = True,\n remove_empty_columns: bool = True,\n keep_id: bool = False\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the CSVDocumentCleaner component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **ignore_rows** (int) – Number of rows to ignore from the top of the CSV table before processing.\n- **ignore_columns** (int) – Number of columns to ignore from the left of the CSV table before processing.\n- **remove_empty_rows** (bool) – Whether to remove rows that are entirely empty.\n- **remove_empty_columns** (bool) – Whether to remove columns that are entirely empty.\n- **keep_id** (bool) – Whether to retain the original document ID in the output document.\n\nRows and columns ignored using these parameters are preserved in the final output, meaning\nthey are not considered when removing empty rows and columns.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCleans CSV documents by removing empty rows and columns while preserving specified ignored rows and columns.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **documents** (list\\[Document\\]) – List of Documents containing CSV-formatted content.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[Document\\]\\] – A dictionary with a list of cleaned Documents under the key \"documents\".\n\nProcessing steps:\n\n1. Reads each document's content as a CSV table.\n1. Retains the specified number of `ignore_rows` from the top and `ignore_columns` from the left.\n1. Drops any rows and columns that are entirely empty (if enabled by `remove_empty_rows` and\n `remove_empty_columns`).\n1. Reattaches the ignored rows and columns to maintain their original positions.\n1. Returns the cleaned CSV content as a new `Document` object, with an option to retain the original\n document ID.\n\n## csv_document_splitter\n\n### CSVDocumentSplitter\n\nA component for splitting CSV documents into sub-tables based on split arguments.\n\nThe splitter supports two modes of operation:\n\n- identify consecutive empty rows or columns that exceed a given threshold\n and uses them as delimiters to segment the document into smaller tables.\n- split each row into a separate sub-table, represented as a Document.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n row_split_threshold: int | None = 2,\n column_split_threshold: int | None = 2,\n read_csv_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n split_mode: SplitMode = \"threshold\",\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the CSVDocumentSplitter component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **row_split_threshold** (int | None) – The minimum number of consecutive empty rows required to trigger a split.\n- **column_split_threshold** (int | None) – The minimum number of consecutive empty columns required to trigger a split.\n- **read_csv_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to `pandas.read_csv`.\n By default, the component with options:\n- `header=None`\n- `skip_blank_lines=False` to preserve blank lines\n- `dtype=object` to prevent type inference (e.g., converting numbers to floats).\n See https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html for more information.\n- **split_mode** (SplitMode) – If `threshold`, the component will split the document based on the number of\n consecutive empty rows or columns that exceed the `row_split_threshold` or `column_split_threshold`.\n If `row-wise`, the component will split each row into a separate sub-table.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nProcesses and splits a list of CSV documents into multiple sub-tables.\n\n**Splitting Process:**\n\n1. Applies a row-based split if `row_split_threshold` is provided.\n1. Applies a column-based split if `column_split_threshold` is provided.\n1. If both thresholds are specified, performs a recursive split by rows first, then columns, ensuring\n further fragmentation of any sub-tables that still contain empty sections.\n1. Sorts the resulting sub-tables based on their original positions within the document.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **documents** (list\\[Document\\]) – A list of Documents containing CSV-formatted content.\n Each document is assumed to contain one or more tables separated by empty rows or columns.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[Document\\]\\] – A dictionary with a key `\"documents\"`, mapping to a list of new `Document` objects,\n each representing an extracted sub-table from the original CSV.\n The metadata of each document includes:\n \\- A field `source_id` to track the original document.\n \\- A field `row_idx_start` to indicate the starting row index of the sub-table in the original table.\n \\- A field `col_idx_start` to indicate the starting column index of the sub-table in the original table.\n \\- A field `split_id` to indicate the order of the split in the original document.\n \\- All other metadata copied from the original document.\n\n- If a document cannot be processed, it is returned unchanged.\n\n- The `meta` field from the original document is preserved in the split documents.\n\n## document_cleaner\n\n### DocumentCleaner\n\nCleans the text in the documents.\n\nIt removes extra whitespaces,\nempty lines, specified substrings, regexes,\npage headers and footers (in this order).\n\n### Usage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"This is a document to clean\\n\\n\\nsubstring to remove\")\n\ncleaner = DocumentCleaner(remove_substrings = [\"substring to remove\"])\nresult = cleaner.run(documents=[doc])\n\nassert result[\"documents\"][0].content == \"This is a document to clean \"\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n remove_empty_lines: bool = True,\n remove_extra_whitespaces: bool = True,\n remove_repeated_substrings: bool = False,\n keep_id: bool = False,\n remove_substrings: list[str] | None = None,\n remove_regex: str | None = None,\n unicode_normalization: Literal[\"NFC\", \"NFKC\", \"NFD\", \"NFKD\"] | None = None,\n ascii_only: bool = False,\n strip_whitespaces: bool = False,\n replace_regexes: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize DocumentCleaner.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **remove_empty_lines** (bool) – If `True`, removes empty lines.\n- **remove_extra_whitespaces** (bool) – If `True`, removes extra whitespaces.\n- **remove_repeated_substrings** (bool) – If `True`, removes repeated substrings (headers and footers) from pages.\n Pages must be separated by a form feed character \"\\\\f\",\n which is supported by `TextFileToDocument` and `AzureOCRDocumentConverter`.\n- **remove_substrings** (list\\[str\\] | None) – List of substrings to remove from the text.\n- **remove_regex** (str | None) – Regex to match and replace substrings by \"\".\n- **keep_id** (bool) – If `True`, keeps the IDs of the original documents.\n- **unicode_normalization** (Literal['NFC', 'NFKC', 'NFD', 'NFKD'] | None) – Unicode normalization form to apply to the text.\n Note: This will run before any other steps.\n- **ascii_only** (bool) – Whether to convert the text to ASCII only.\n Will remove accents from characters and replace them with ASCII characters.\n Other non-ASCII characters will be removed.\n Note: This will run before any pattern matching or removal.\n- **strip_whitespaces** (bool) – If `True`, removes leading and trailing whitespace from the document content\n using Python's `str.strip()`. Unlike `remove_extra_whitespaces`, this only affects the beginning\n and end of the text, preserving internal whitespace (useful for markdown formatting).\n- **replace_regexes** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – A dictionary mapping regex patterns to their replacement strings.\n For example, `{r'\\n\\n+': '\\n'}` replaces multiple consecutive newlines with a single newline.\n This is applied after `remove_regex` and allows custom replacements instead of just removal.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCleans up the documents.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **documents** (list\\[Document\\]) – List of Documents to clean.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[Document\\]\\] – A dictionary with the following key:\n- `documents`: List of cleaned Documents.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- TypeError – if documents is not a list of Documents.\n\n## document_preprocessor\n\n### DocumentPreprocessor\n\nA SuperComponent that first splits and then cleans documents.\n\nThis component consists of a DocumentSplitter followed by a DocumentCleaner in a single pipeline.\nIt takes a list of documents as input and returns a processed list of documents.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentPreprocessor\n\ndoc = Document(content=\"I love pizza!\")\npreprocessor = DocumentPreprocessor()\nresult = preprocessor.run(documents=[doc])\nprint(result[\"documents\"])\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n split_by: Literal[\n \"function\", \"page\", \"passage\", \"period\", \"word\", \"line\", \"sentence\"\n ] = \"word\",\n split_length: int = 250,\n split_overlap: int = 0,\n split_threshold: int = 0,\n splitting_function: Callable[[str], list[str]] | None = None,\n respect_sentence_boundary: bool = False,\n language: Language = \"en\",\n use_split_rules: bool = True,\n extend_abbreviations: bool = True,\n remove_empty_lines: bool = True,\n remove_extra_whitespaces: bool = True,\n remove_repeated_substrings: bool = False,\n keep_id: bool = False,\n remove_substrings: list[str] | None = None,\n remove_regex: str | None = None,\n unicode_normalization: Literal[\"NFC\", \"NFKC\", \"NFD\", \"NFKD\"] | None = None,\n ascii_only: bool = False\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize a DocumentPreProcessor that first splits and then cleans documents.\n\n**Splitter Parameters**:\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **split_by** (Literal['function', 'page', 'passage', 'period', 'word', 'line', 'sentence']) – The unit of splitting: \"function\", \"page\", \"passage\", \"period\", \"word\", \"line\", or \"sentence\".\n- **split_length** (int) – The maximum number of units (words, lines, pages, and so on) in each split.\n- **split_overlap** (int) – The number of overlapping units between consecutive splits.\n- **split_threshold** (int) – The minimum number of units per split.

See the\npaper [\"Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts\"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03172) for more\ndetails.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import LostInTheMiddleRanker\nfrom haystack import Document\n\nranker = LostInTheMiddleRanker()\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Madrid\")]\nresult = ranker.run(documents=docs)\nfor doc in result[\"documents\"]:\n print(doc.content)\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n word_count_threshold: int | None = None, top_k: int | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LostInTheMiddleRanker.\n\nIf 'word_count_threshold' is specified, this ranker includes all documents up until the point where adding\nanother document would exceed the 'word_count_threshold'.

output is a flat list of documents ordered by `group_by` and `subgroup_by` values.\nAny documents without a group are placed at the end of the list.\n\nThe proper organization of documents helps improve the efficiency and performance of subsequent processing by an LLM.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import MetaFieldGroupingRanker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses

Each route has these four elements:\n\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\n the router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\"condition\": \"{{count > 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing many items\",\n \"output_name\": \"many_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n {\"condition\": \"{{count <= 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing few items\",\n \"output_name\": \"few_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", ConditionalRouter(routes))\n\n# Run with count > 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 10}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'many_items': 'Processing many items'}}\n\n# Run with count <= 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 3}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'few_items': 'Processing few items'}}\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: dict[str, Callable] | None = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: list[str] | None = None,\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **routes** (list\\[Route\\]) – A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\n Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\n the router to other components in the pipeline.\n- **custom_filters** (dict\\[str, Callable\\] | None) – A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\n For example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- **unsafe** (bool) – Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\n This should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- **validate_output_type** (bool) – Enable validation of routes' output.\n If a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- **optional_variables** (list\\[str\\] | None) – A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\n If these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\n This allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> ConditionalRouter\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- ConditionalRouter – The deserialized component.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(**kwargs: Any) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **kwargs** (Any) – All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\n pipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – A dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\n of the selected route.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- NoRouteSelectedException – If no `condition' in the routes is `True\\`.\n- RouteConditionException – If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- ValueError – If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n## document_length_router\n\n### DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **threshold** (int) – The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\n None or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\n output. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\n To route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **documents** (list\\[Document\\]) – A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[Document\\]\\] – A dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n## document_type_router\n\n### DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: str | None = None,\n file_path_meta_field: str | None = None,\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mime_types** (list\\[str\\]) – A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n (for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- **mime_type_meta_field** (str | None) – Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- **file_path_meta_field** (str | None) – Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n `mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- **additional_mimetypes** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n `mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\n For example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\n not provided.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **documents** (list\\[Document\\]) – A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[Document\\]\\] – A dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n## file_type_router\n\n### FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')\n# ]}\n# {'audio/.*': [\n# PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('document.pdf')\n# ]}\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n mime_types: list[str],\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = False,\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the FileTypeRouter component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mime_types** (list\\[str\\]) – A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.\n (for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- **additional_mimetypes** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\n packages from being unclassified.\n (for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- **raise_on_failure** (bool) – If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\n If False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> FileTypeRouter\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- FileTypeRouter – The deserialized component.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n sources: list[str | Path | ByteStream],\n meta: dict[str, Any] | list[dict[str, Any]] | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ByteStream | Path]]\n```\n\nCategorize files or byte streams according to their MIME types.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **sources** (list\\[str | Path | ByteStream\\]) – A list of file paths or byte streams to categorize.\n- **meta** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | list\\[dict\\[str, Any\\]\\] | None) – Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\n When provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\n This value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\n If it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\n If it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[ByteStream | Path\\]\\] – A dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\n Two extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\n and `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- TypeError – If a source is not a Path, str, or ByteStream.\n\n## llm_messages_router\n\n### LLMMessagesRouter\n\n````\nRoutes Chat Messages to different connections using a generative Language Model to perform classification.\n\nThis component can be used with general-purpose LLMs and with specialized LLMs for moderation like Llama Guard.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.routers.llm_messages_router import LLMMessagesRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# initialize a Chat Generator with a

Haystack components, allowing them to be used as tools by LLMs.\n\nComponentTool automatically generates LLM-compatible tool schemas from component input sockets,\nwhich are derived from the component's `run` method signature and type hints.\n\nKey features:\n\n- Automatic LLM tool calling schema generation from component input sockets\n- Type conversion and validation for component inputs\n- Support for types:\n - Dataclasses\n - Lists of dataclasses\n - Basic types (str, int, float, bool, dict)\n - Lists of basic types\n- Automatic name generation from component class name\n- Description extraction from component docstrings\n\nTo use ComponentTool, you first need a Haystack component - either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n component: Component,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, str | Callable[[Any], str]] | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, str | Callable]] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **component** (Component) – The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- **name** (str | None) – Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- **description** (str | None) – Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- **parameters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\n Will fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- **outputs_to_string** (dict\\[str, str | Callable\\\\[[Any\\], str\\]\\] | None) – Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs should be converted into string(s) or results.\n If not provided, the tool result is converted to a string using a default handler.\n\n`outputs_to_string` supports two formats:\n\n1. Single output format - use \"source\", \"handler\", and/or \"raw_result\" at the root level:\n\n ```python\n {\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents, \"raw_result\": False\n }\n ```\n\n - `source`: If provided, only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\n - `handler`: A function that takes the tool output (or the extracted source value) and returns the\n final result.\n - `raw_result`: If `True`, the result is returned raw without string conversion, but applying the\n `handler` if provided. This is intended for tools that return images. In this mode, the Tool\n function or the `handler` function must return a list of `TextContent`/`ImageContent` objects to\n ensure compatibility with Chat Generators.\n\n1. Multiple output format - map keys to individual configurations:\n\n ```python\n {\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"summary_text\", \"handler\": str.upper}\n }\n ```\n\n Each key maps to a dictionary that can contain \"source\" and/or \"handler\".\n Note that `raw_result` is not supported in the multiple output format.\n\n- **inputs_from_state** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\n Example: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- **outputs_to_state** (dict\\[str, dict\\[str, str | Callable\\]\\] | None) – Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\n If the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\n Example:\n\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- TypeError – If the object passed is not a Haystack Component instance.\n- ValueError – If the component has already been added to a pipeline, or if schema generation fails.\n\n#### warm_up\n\n```python\nwarm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the ComponentTool for use.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> ComponentTool\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n## from_function\n\n### create_tool_from_function\n\n```python\ncreate_tool_from_function(\n function: Callable,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n) -> Tool\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a function.\n\nAllows customizing the Tool name and description.\nFor simpler use cases, consider using the `@tool` decorator.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated, Literal\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\ndef get_weather(\n city: Annotated[str, \"the city for which to get the weather\"] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[Literal[\"Celsius\", \"Fahrenheit\"], \"the unit for the temperature\"] = \"Celsius\"):\n '''A simple function to get the current weather for a location.'''\n return f\"Weather report for {city}: 20 {unit}, sunny\"\n\ntool = create_tool_from_function(get_weather)\n\nprint(tool)\n>>> Tool(name='get_weather', description='A simple function to get the current weather for a location.',\n>>> parameters={\n>>> 'type': 'object',\n>>> 'properties': {\n>>> 'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'the city for which to get the weather', 'default': 'Munich'},\n>>> 'unit': {\n>>> 'type': 'string',\n>>> 'enum': ['Celsius', 'Fahrenheit'],\n>>> 'description': 'the unit for the temperature',\n>>> 'default': 'Celsius',\n>>> },\n>>> }\n>>> },\n>>> function=)\n```\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **function** (Callable) – The function to be converted into a Tool.\n The function must include type hints for all parameters.\n The function is expected to have basic python input types (str, int, float, bool, list, dict, tuple).\n Other input types may work but are not guaranteed.\n If a parameter is annotated using `typing.Annotated`, its metadata will be used as parameter description.\n- **name** (str | None) – The name of the Tool.

Instead of exposing all tools at once (which can overwhelm the\nLLM context), it provides a `search_tools` bootstrap tool that allows the LLM to\nfind and load specific tools as needed.\n\nFor very small catalogs (below `search_threshold`), acts as a simple passthrough\nexposing all tools directly without any discovery mechanism.\n\n### Usage Example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool, SearchableToolset\n\n# Create a catalog of tools\ncatalog = [\n Tool(name=\"get_weather\", description=\"Get weather for a city\", ...),\n Tool(name=\"search_web\", description=\"Search the web\", ...),\n # ... 100s more tools\n]\ntoolset = SearchableToolset(catalog=catalog)\n\nagent = Agent(chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(), tools=toolset)\n\n# The agent is initially provided only with the search_tools tool and will use it to find relevant tools.\nresult = agent.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather in Milan?\")])\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n catalog: ToolsType,\n *,\n top_k: int = 3,\n search_threshold: int = 8,\n search_tool_name: str = \"search_tools\",\n search_tool_description: str | None = None,\n search_tool_parameters_description: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the SearchableToolset.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **catalog** (ToolsType) – Source of tools - a list of Tools, list of Toolsets, or a single Toolset.\n- **top_k** (int) – Default number of results for search_tools.\n- **search_threshold** (int) – Minimum catalog size to activate search.\n If catalog has fewer tools, acts as passthrough (all tools visible).\n Default is 8.\n- **search_tool_name** (str) – Custom name for the bootstrap search tool. Default is \"search_tools\".\n- **search_tool_description** (str | None) – Custom description for the bootstrap search tool.\n If not provided, uses a default description.\n- **search_tool_parameters_description** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Custom descriptions for the bootstrap search tool's parameters.\n Keys must be a subset of `{\"tool_keywords\", \"k\"}`.\n Example: `{\"tool_keywords\": \"Keywords to find tools, e.g. 'email send'\"}`\n\n#### add\n\n```python\nadd(tool: Tool | Toolset) -> None\n```\n\nAdding new tools after initialization is not supported for SearchableToolset.\n\n#### warm_up\n\n```python\nwarm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the toolset for use.\n\nWarms up child toolsets first (so lazy toolsets like MCPToolset can connect),\nthen flattens the catalog, indexes it, and creates the search_tools bootstrap tool.\nIn passthrough mode, it warms up all catalog tools directly.\nMust be called before using the toolset with an Agent.\n\n#### clear\n\n```python\nclear() -> None\n```\n\nClear all discovered tools.\n\nThis method allows resetting the toolset's discovered tools between agent runs\nwhen the same toolset instance is reused. This can be useful for long-running\napplications to control memory usage or to start fresh searches.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary representation of the toolset.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> SearchableToolset\n```\n\nDeserialize a toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – Dictionary representation of the toolset.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- SearchableToolset – New SearchableToolset instance.\n\n## tool\n\n### Tool\n\nData class representing a Tool that Language Models can prepare a call for.\n\nAccurate definitions of the textual attributes such as `name` and `description`\nare important for the Language Model to correctly prepare the call.\n\nFor resource-intensive operations like establishing connections to remote services or\nloading models, override the `warm_up()` method. This method is called before the Tool\nis used and should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times during\npipeline/agent setup.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **name** (str) – Name of the Tool.\n- **description** (str) – Description of the Tool.\n- **parameters** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\n- **function** (Callable) – The function that will be invoked when the Tool is called.\n Must be a synchronous function; async functions are not supported.\n- **outputs_to_string** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs should be converted into string(s) or results.\n If not provided, the tool result is converted to a string using a default handler.\n\n`outputs_to_string` supports two formats:\n\n1. Single output format - use \"source\", \"handler\", and/or \"raw_result\" at the root level:\n\n ```python\n {\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents, \"raw_result\": False\n }\n ```\n\n - `source`: If provided, only the specified output key is sent to the handler. If not provided, the whole\n tool result is sent to the handler.\n - `handler`: A function that takes the tool output (or the extracted source value) and returns the\n final result.\n - `raw_result`: If `True`, the result is returned raw without string conversion, but applying the `handler`\n if provided. This is intended for tools that return images. In this mode, the Tool function or the\n `handler` must return a list of `TextContent`/`ImageContent` objects to ensure compatibility with Chat\n Generators.\n\n1. Multiple output format - map keys to individual configurations:\n\n ```python\n {\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"summary_text\", \"handler\": str.upper}\n }\n ```\n\n Each key maps to a dictionary that can contain \"source\" and/or \"handler\".\n Note that `raw_result` is not supported in the multiple output format.\n\n- **inputs_from_state** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\n Example: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- **outputs_to_state** (dict\\[str, dict\\[str, Any\\]\\] | None) – Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\n If the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\n Example:\n\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If `function` is async, if `parameters` is not a valid JSON schema, or if the\n `outputs_to_state`, `outputs_to_string`, or `inputs_from_state` configurations are invalid.\n- TypeError – If any configuration value in `outputs_to_state`, `outputs_to_string`, or\n `inputs_from_state` has the wrong type.\n\n#### tool_spec\n\n```python\ntool_spec: dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n#### warm_up\n\n```python\nwarm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Tool for use.\n\nOverride this method to establish connections to remote services, load models,\nor perform other resource-intensive initialization. This method should be idempotent,\nas it may be called multiple times.\n\n#### invoke\n\n```python\ninvoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the Tool to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> Tool\n```\n\nDeserializes the Tool from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – Dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- Tool – Deserialized Tool.\n\n## toolset\n\n### Toolset\n\nA collection of related Tools that can be used and managed as a cohesive unit.\n\nToolset serves two main purposes:\n\n1. Group related tools together:\n Toolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\n to manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n Example:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n\n1. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n\n Example:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self) -> None:\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n\nToolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\nmaking it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\niterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n\nWhen implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n\n- Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n- Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n- Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n#### warm_up\n\n```python\nwarm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Toolset for use.\n\nBy default, this method iterates through and warms up all tools in the Toolset.\nSubclasses can override this method to customize initialization behavior, such as:\n\n- Setting up shared resources (database connections, HTTP sessions) instead of\n warming individual tools\n- Implementing custom initialization logic for dynamically loaded tools\n- Controlling when and how tools are initialized\n\nFor example, a Toolset that manages tools from an external service (like MCPToolset)\nmight override this to initialize a shared connection rather than warming up\nindividual tools:\n\n```python\nclass MCPToolset(Toolset):\n def warm_up(self) -> None:\n # Only warm up the shared MCP connection, not individual tools\n self.mcp_connection = establish_connection(self.server_url)\n```\n\nThis method should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times.\n\n#### add\n\n```python\nadd(tool: Union[Tool, Toolset]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **tool** (Union\\[Tool, Toolset\\]) – A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- TypeError – If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – A dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization. Failing to serialize the descriptor may\nlead to issues where outdated or incorrect Tool configurations are loaded, potentially causing errors or\nunexpected behavior.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> Toolset\n```\n\nDeserialize a Toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – Dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- Toolset – A new Toolset instance\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference/haystack-api/utils_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Utils\"\nid: utils-api\ndescription: \"Utility functions and classes used across the library.\"\nslug: \"/utils-api\"\n---\n\n\n## asynchronous\n\n### is_callable_async_compatible\n\n```python\nis_callable_async_compatible(func: Callable) -> bool\n```\n\nReturns if the given callable is usable inside a component's `run_async` method.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **func** (Callable) – The callable to check.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- bool – True if the callable is compatible, False otherwise.\n\n## auth\n\n### SecretType\n\nBases: Enum\n\nType of secret: token (API key) or environment variable.\n\n#### from_str\n\n```python\nfrom_str(string: str) -> SecretType\n```\n\nConvert a string to a SecretType.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **string** (str) – The string to convert.\n\n### Secret\n\nBases: ABC\n\nEncapsulates a secret used for authentication.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n#### from_token\n\n```python\nfrom_token(token: str) -> Secret\n```\n\nCreate a token-based secret.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n\n### How it works\n\n1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n1. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n1. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n1. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n1. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n#### parse\n\n```python\nparse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **parser** (Any) – The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- Node | list\\[Node\\] – A CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- TemplateSyntaxError – If an invalid role is provided\n\n### templatize_part\n\n```python\ntemplatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> Markup\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **value** (ChatMessageContentT) – The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- Markup – A JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags marked as safe\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n## jinja2_extensions\n\n### Jinja2TimeExtension\n\nBases: Extension\n\nA Jinja2 extension for formatting dates and times.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(environment: Environment) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **environment** (Environment) – The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\n It provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n#### parse\n\n```python\nparse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **parser** (Any) – The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\n It's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n## jupyter\n\n### is_in_jupyter\n\n```python\nis_in_jupyter() -> bool\n```\n\nReturns `True` if in Jupyter or Google Colab, `False` otherwise.\n\n## misc\n\n### expand_page_range\n\n```python\nexpand_page_range(page_range: list[str | int]) -> list[int]\n```\n\nTakes a list of page numbers and ranges and expands them into a list of page numbers.\n\nFor example, given a page_range=['1-3', '5', '8', '10-12'] the function will return [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12]\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **page_range** (list\\[str | int\\]) – List of page numbers and ranges\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- list\\[int\\] – An expanded list of page integers\n\n### expit\n\n```python\nexpit(x: float | ndarray[Any, Any]) -> float | ndarray[Any, Any]\n```\n\nCompute logistic sigmoid function.

These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe AIMLAPI endpoint. See AIMLAPI API docs for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass.

haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock.chat.chat_generator\n\n### AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using LLMs hosted on Amazon Bedrock available via the Bedrock Converse API.\n\nFor example, to use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model, initialize this component with the\n'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0' model name.\n\n**Usage example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant, answer in German only\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\n\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\nclient.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 512})\n```\n\n**Multimodal example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage_content = ImageContent.from_file_path(file_path=\"apple.jpg\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe the image using 10 words at most.\", image_content])\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages=[message])[\"replies\"][0].text\n\nprint(response)\n> The image shows a red apple.\n```\n\n**Tool usage example**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator supports Haystack's unified tool architecture, allowing tools to be used\nacross different chat generators. The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation. The model must be available in Amazon Bedrock and must\n be specified in the format outlined in the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids-arns.html).\n- **aws_access_key_id** (Secret | None) – AWS access key ID.\n- **aws_secret_access_key** (Secret | None) – AWS secret access key.\n- **aws_session_token** (Secret | None) – AWS session token.\n- **aws_region_name** (Secret | None) – AWS region name.

To enable streaming, set this parameter to a callback\n function that handles the streaming chunks. The callback function receives a\n [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk) object and switches\n the streaming mode on.\n- **boto3_config** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – The configuration for the boto3 client.\n- **tools** (ToolsType | None) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n Each tool should have a unique name.\n- **guardrail_config** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional configuration for a guardrail that has been created in Amazon Bedrock.\n This must be provided as a dictionary matching either\n [GuardrailConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_GuardrailConfiguration.html).\n or, in streaming mode (when `streaming_callback` is set),\n [GuardrailStreamConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_GuardrailStreamConfiguration.html).\n If `trace` is set to `enabled`, the guardrail trace will be included under the `trace` key in the `meta`\n attribute of the resulting `ChatMessage`.\n Note: Enabling guardrails in streaming mode may introduce additional latency.\n To manage this, you can adjust the `streamProcessingMode` parameter.\n See the\n [Guardrails Streaming documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails-streaming.html)\n for more information.\n- **tools_cachepoint_config** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional configuration to use prompt caching for tools.\n The dictionary must match the\n [CachePointBlock schema](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_CachePointBlock.html).\n Example: `{\"type\": \"default\", \"ttl\": \"5m\"}`\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the model name is empty or None.\n- AmazonBedrockConfigurationError – If the AWS environment is not configured correctly or the model is\n not supported.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- AmazonBedrockChatGenerator – Instance of `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator`.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nExecutes a synchronous inference call to the Amazon Bedrock model using the Converse API.\n\nSupports both standard and streaming responses depending on whether a streaming callback is provided.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects forming the chat history.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – Optional callback for handling streaming outputs.\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary of generation parameters. Some common parameters are:\n- `maxTokens`: Maximum number of tokens to generate.\n- `stopSequences`: List of stop sequences to stop generation.\n- `temperature`: Sampling temperature.\n- `topP`: Nucleus sampling parameter.\n- **tools** (ToolsType | None) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n Each tool should have a unique name.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[ChatMessage\\]\\] – A dictionary containing the model-generated replies under the `\"replies\"` key.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- AmazonBedrockInferenceError – If the Bedrock inference API call fails.\n\n#### run_async\n\n```python\nrun_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nExecutes an asynchronous inference call to the Amazon Bedrock model using the Converse API.\n\nDesigned for use cases where non-blocking or concurrent execution is desired.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects forming the chat history.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – Optional async-compatible callback for handling streaming outputs.\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary of generation parameters.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

To use this chat generator,\n\nyou need to setup Llama Stack Server with an inference provider and have a model available.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `model`: The name of the model to use for chat completion.\nThis depends on the inference provider used for the Llama Stack Server.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\nThe callback function accepts StreamingChunk as an argument.\n- `api_base_url`: The Llama Stack API base url. If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

Each schema entry has:\n```json\n \"parameter_name\": {\n \"type\": SomeType, # expected type\n \"handler\": Optional[Callable[[Any, Any], Any]] # merge/update function\n }\n ```\n\nHandlers control how values are merged when using the `set()` method:\n- For list types: defaults to `merge_lists` (concatenates lists)\n- For other types: defaults to `replace_values` (overwrites existing value)\n\nA `messages` field with type `list[ChatMessage]` is automatically added to the schema.\n\nThis makes it possible for the Agent to read from and write to the same context.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents.state import State\n\nmy_state = State(\n schema={\"gh_repo_name\": {\"type\": str}, \"user_name\": {\"type\": str}},\n data={\"gh_repo_name\": \"my_repo\", \"user_name\": \"my_user_name\"}\n)\n```\n\n\n\n#### State.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(schema: dict[str, Any], data: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None)\n```\n\nInitialize a State object with a schema and optional data.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `schema`: Dictionary mapping parameter names to their type and handler configs.\nType must be a valid Python type, and handler must be a callable function or None.\nIf handler is None, the default handler for the type will be used.

The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: Optional[Union[list[str],\n Literal[\"*\"]]] = None,\n variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: Optional[str] = None,\n template_variables: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n\n\n# Module chat\\_prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n## ChatPromptBuilder\n\nRenders a chat prompt from a template using Jinja2 syntax.\n\nA template can be a list of `ChatMessage` objects, or a special string, as shown in the usage examples.\n\nIt constructs prompts using static or dynamic templates, which you can update for each pipeline run.\n\nTemplate variables in the template are optional unless specified otherwise.\nIf an optional variable isn't provided, it defaults to an empty string. Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nmsg = \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize.

It dynamically interprets the API specification and\nprovides an interface for executing API operations. It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\n**Example**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\n**Notes**:\n\n - The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n - The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Optional[Secret] = None,\n service_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `openapi_spec`: URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- `credentials`: Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- `service_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\nFor example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(operation_id: str,\n arguments: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `operation_id`: The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- `arguments`: Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing the service response\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.18/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: Converters\nid: converters-api\ndescription: Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n# Module azure\n\n\n\n## AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

word_margin: float = 0.1,\n boxes_flow: Optional[float] = 0.5,\n detect_vertical: bool = True,\n all_texts: bool = False,\n store_full_path: bool = False) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a PDFMinerToDocument component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `line_overlap`: This parameter determines whether two characters are considered to be on\nthe same line based on the amount of overlap between them.\nThe overlap is calculated relative to the minimum height of both characters.\n- `char_margin`: Determines whether two characters are part of the same line based on the distance between them.\nIf the distance is less than the margin specified, the characters are considered to be on the same line.\nThe margin is calculated relative to the width of the character.\n- `word_margin`: Determines whether two characters on the same line are part of the same word\nbased on the distance between them. If the distance is greater than the margin specified,\nan intermediate space will be added between them to make the text more readable.\nThe margin is calculated relative to the width of the character.\n- `line_margin`: This parameter determines whether two lines are part of the same paragraph based on\nthe distance between them. If the distance is less than the margin specified,\nthe lines are considered to be part of the same paragraph.\nThe margin is calculated relative to the height of a line.\n- `boxes_flow`: This parameter determines the importance of horizontal and vertical position when\ndetermining the order of text boxes. A value between -1.0 and +1.0 can be set,\nwith -1.0 indicating that only horizontal position matters and +1.0 indicating\nthat only vertical position matters. Setting the value to 'None' will disable advanced\nlayout analysis, and text boxes will be ordered based on the position of their bottom left corner.\n- `detect_vertical`: This parameter determines whether vertical text should be considered during layout analysis.\n- `all_texts`: If layout analysis should be performed on text in figures.\n- `store_full_path`: If True, the full path of the file is stored in the metadata of the document.\nIf False, only the file name is stored.\n\n\n\n#### PDFMinerToDocument.detect\\_undecoded\\_cid\\_characters\n\n```python\ndef detect_undecoded_cid_characters(text: str) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nLook for character sequences of CID, i.e.: characters that haven't been properly decoded from their CID format.\n\nThis is useful to detect if the text extractor is not able to extract the text correctly, e.g. if the PDF uses\nnon-standard fonts.\n\nA PDF font may include a ToUnicode map (mapping from character code to Unicode) to support operations like\nsearching strings or copy & paste in a PDF viewer. This map immediately provides the mapping the text extractor\nneeds. If that map is not available the text extractor cannot decode the CID characters and will return them\nas is.\n\nsee:

For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls.

Available modes:\n- `concatenate`: Concatenates multiple lists of Answers into a single list.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return.\n- `sort_by_score`: If `True`, sorts the documents by score in descending order.\nIf a document has no score, it is handled as if its score is -infinity.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(answers=list[AnswerType])\ndef run(answers: Variadic[list[AnswerType]], top_k: Optional[int] = None)\n```\n\nJoins multiple lists of Answers into a single list depending on the `join_mode` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `answers`: Nested list of Answers to be merged.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return. Overrides the instance's `top_k` if provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `answers`: Merged list of Answers\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"AnswerJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n# Module branch\n\n\n\n## BranchJoiner\n\nA component that merges multiple input branches of a pipeline into a single output stream.\n\n`BranchJoiner` receives multiple inputs of the same data type and forwards the first received value\nto its output. This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

If a split has fewer units\nthan the threshold, it's attached to the previous split.\n- `splitting_function`: Necessary when `split_by` is set to \"function\".\nThis is a function which must accept a single `str` as input and return a `list` of `str` as output,\nrepresenting the chunks after splitting.\n- `respect_sentence_boundary`: Choose whether to respect sentence boundaries when splitting by \"word\".\nIf True, uses NLTK to detect sentence boundaries, ensuring splits occur only between sentences.\n- `language`: Choose the language for the NLTK tokenizer. The default is English (\"en\").\n- `use_split_rules`: Choose whether to use additional split rules when splitting by `sentence`.\n- `extend_abbreviations`: Choose whether to extend NLTK's PunktTokenizer abbreviations with a list\nof curated abbreviations, if available. This is currently supported for English (\"en\") and German (\"de\").\n- `skip_empty_documents`: Choose whether to skip documents with empty content.

entirely.\n- 'top' will place the documents at the top of the metadata-sorted list\n (regardless of 'ascending' or 'descending').\n- 'bottom' will place the documents at the bottom of metadata-sorted list\n (regardless of 'ascending' or 'descending').\nIf not provided, the missing_meta provided at initialization time is used.\n- `meta_value_type`: Parse the meta value into the data type specified before sorting.\nThis will only work if all meta values stored under `meta_field` in the provided documents are strings.\nFor example, if we specified `meta_value_type=\"date\"` then for the meta value `\"date\": \"2015-02-01\"`\nwe would parse the string into a datetime object and then sort the documents by date.\nThe available options are:\n-'float' will parse the meta values into floats.\n-'int' will parse the meta values into integers.\n-'date' will parse the meta values into datetime objects.\n-'None' (default) will do no parsing.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `top_k` is not > 0.\nIf `weight` is not in range [0,1].\nIf `ranking_mode` is not 'reciprocal_rank_fusion' or 'linear_score'.\nIf `sort_order` is not 'ascending' or 'descending'.\nIf `meta_value_type` is not 'float', 'int', 'date' or `None`.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `documents`: List of Documents sorted by the specified meta field.\n\n\n\n# Module meta\\_field\\_grouping\\_ranker\n\n\n\n## MetaFieldGroupingRanker\n\nReorders the documents by grouping them based on metadata keys.\n\nThe MetaFieldGroupingRanker can group documents by a primary metadata key `group_by`, and subgroup them with an optional\nsecondary key, `subgroup_by`.\nWithin each group or subgroup, it can also sort documents by a metadata key `sort_docs_by`.\n\nThe output is a flat list of documents ordered by `group_by` and `subgroup_by` values.\nAny documents without a group are placed at the end of the list.\n\nThe proper organization of documents helps improve the efficiency and performance of subsequent processing by an LLM.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import MetaFieldGroupingRanker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import

See the HierarchicalDocumentSplitter for more information on how to create\nsuch a structure. During retrieval, if the number of matched leaf documents below the same parent is\nhigher than a defined threshold, the retriever will return the parent document instead of the individual leaf\ndocuments.\n\nThe rational is, given that a paragraph is split into multiple chunks represented as leaf documents, and if for\na given query, multiple chunks are matched, the whole paragraph might be more informative than the individual\nchunks alone.\n\nCurrently the AutoMergingRetriever can only be used by the following DocumentStores:\n- [AstraDB](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/astradb)\n- [ElasticSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/elasticsearch)\n- [OpenSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/opensearch)\n- [PGVector](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/pgvector)\n- [Qdrant](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/qdrant)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.auto_merging_retriever import AutoMergingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\n# create a hierarchical document structure with 3 levels, where the parent document has 3 children\ntext = \"The sun rose early in the morning.

belonging to the same original document.\n- `split_id` represents the position/order of the chunk within the document.\n\nThe number of adjacent documents to include on each side of the retrieved

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n...\npipe.connect(\"router.enough_streams\", \"some_component_a.streams\")\npipe.connect(\"router.insufficient_streams\", \"some_component_b.streams_or_some_other_input\")\n...\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: Optional[dict[str, Callable]] = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n# Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n## DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n# Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n## DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n file_path_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n additional_mimetypes: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n# Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n## FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')\n# ]}\n# {'audio/.*': [\n# PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified':

raise_on_failure: bool = False)\n```\n\nInitialize the FileTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef

paths or byte streams to categorize.\n- `meta`: Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\nWhen provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\nThis value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\nIf it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\nIf it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\nTwo extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\nand `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n\n\n# Module

either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: Optional[str] = None,\n description: Optional[str] = None,\n parameters: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: Optional[dict[str, Union[str, Callable[[Any],\n str]]]] = None,\n inputs_from_state: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None,\n outputs_to_state: Optional[dict[str, dict[str, Union[str,\n Callable]]]] = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how a tool outputs should be converted into a string.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents\n}\n```\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n# Module toolset\n\n\n\n## Toolset\n\nA collection of related Tools that can be used and managed as a cohesive unit.\n\nToolset serves two main purposes:\n\n1. Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n\n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n\n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n\n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization. Failing to serialize the descriptor may\nlead to issues where outdated or incorrect Tool configurations are loaded, potentially causing errors or\nunexpected behavior.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nDeserialize a Toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset instance\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\", list[Tool]]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nConcatenate this Toolset with another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `other`: Another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools to concatenate\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TypeError`: If the other parameter is not a Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools\n- `ValueError`: If the combination would result in duplicate tool names\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset containing all tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__() -> int\n```\n\nReturn the number of Tools in this Toolset.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nNumber of Tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a Tool by index.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `index`: Index of the Tool to get\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe Tool at the specified index\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.18/haystack-api/utils_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: Utils\nid: utils-api\ndescription: Utility functions and classes used across the library.\nslug: \"/utils-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n# Module azure\n\n\n\n#### default\\_azure\\_ad\\_token\\_provider\n\n```python\ndef default_azure_ad_token_provider() -> str\n```\n\nGet a Azure AD token using the DefaultAzureCredential and the \"https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default\" scope.\n\n\n\n# Module jupyter\n\n\n\n#### is\\_in\\_jupyter\n\n```python\ndef is_in_jupyter() -> bool\n```\n\nReturns `True` if in Jupyter or Google Colab, `False` otherwise.\n\n\n\n# Module url\\_validation\n\n\n\n#### is\\_valid\\_http\\_url\n\n```python\ndef is_valid_http_url(url: str) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a URL is a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL.\n\n\n\n# Module auth\n\n\n\n## SecretType\n\n\n\n#### SecretType.from\\_str\n\n```python\n@staticmethod\ndef from_str(string: str) -> \"SecretType\"\n```\n\nConvert a string to a SecretType.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `string`: The string to convert.\n\n\n\n## Secret\n\nEncapsulates a secret used for authentication.\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n\n\n#### Secret.from\\_token\n\n```python\n@staticmethod\ndef from_token(token: str) -> \"Secret\"\n```\n\nCreate a token-based secret.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n\n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n# Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n## Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n# Module deserialization\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_document\\_store\\_in\\_init\\_params\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_document_store_in_init_params_inplace(\n data: dict[str, Any], key: str = \"document_store\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserializes a generic document store from the init_parameters of a serialized component in place.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n- `key`: The key in the `data[\"init_parameters\"]` dictionary where the document store is specified.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the document store is not properly specified in the serialization data or its type cannot be imported.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe dictionary, with the document store deserialized.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_chatgenerator\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_chatgenerator_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a ChatGenerator in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the ChatGenerator is stored.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the key is missing in the serialized data, the value is not a dictionary,\nthe type key is missing, the class cannot be imported, or the class lacks a 'from_dict' method.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_component\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_component_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a Component in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the Component is stored.

haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock.chat.chat_generator\n\n### AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using LLMs hosted on Amazon Bedrock available via the Bedrock Converse API.\n\nFor example, to use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model, initialize this component with the\n'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0' model name.\n\n**Usage example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant, answer in German only\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\n\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\nclient.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 512})\n```\n\n**Multimodal example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage_content = ImageContent.from_file_path(file_path=\"apple.jpg\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe the image using 10 words at most.\", image_content])\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages=[message])[\"replies\"][0].text\n\nprint(response)\n> The image shows a red apple.\n```\n\n**Tool usage example**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator supports Haystack's unified tool architecture, allowing tools to be used\nacross different chat generators. The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.18/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n\n\n#### MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\")\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mongo_connection_string`: MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n`\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\nThis can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\nThis value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- `database_name`: Name of the database to use.\n- `collection_name`: Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\nthis collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- `vector_search_index`: The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\nCreate a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\nAtlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/`std`-label-avs-create-index).\n- `full_text_search_index`: The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\nCreate a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\nMongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n[documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- `embedding_field`: The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- `content_field`: The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\nThis field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\nIt can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\nusing this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `response_format`: For NVIDIA NIM servers, this parameter has limited support.\n - The basic JSON mode with `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}` is supported by compatible models, to produce\n valid JSON output.\n To pass the JSON schema to the model, use the `guided_json` parameter in `extra_body`.\n For example:\n ```python\n generation_kwargs={\n \"extra_body\": {\n \"nvext\": {\n \"guided_json\": {\n json_schema\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n For more details, see the [NVIDIA NIM documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/large-language-models/latest/structured-generation.html).\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.18/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

algorithms as a Haystack `@component`,\nmaking it easy to drop result diversification into any Haystack pipeline.\n\n### PyversityRanker\n\nReranks documents using [pyversity](https://github.com/Pringled/pyversity)'s diversification algorithms.\n\nBalances relevance and diversity in a ranked list of documents. Documents\nmust have both `score` and `embedding` populated (e.g. as returned by\na dense retriever with `return_embedding=True`).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.rankers.pyversity import PyversityRanker\nfrom pyversity import Strategy\n\nranker = PyversityRanker(top_k=5, strategy=Strategy.MMR, diversity=0.5)\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Paris\", score=0.9, embedding=[0.1, 0.2]),\n Document(content=\"Berlin\", score=0.8, embedding=[0.3, 0.4]),\n]\noutput = ranker.run(documents=docs)\ndocs = output[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n top_k: int | None = None,\n *,\n strategy: Strategy = Strategy.DPP,\n diversity: float = 0.5\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreates an instance of PyversityRanker.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **top_k** (int | None) – Number of documents to return after diversification.\n If `None`, all documents are returned in diversified order.\n- **strategy** (Strategy) – Pyversity diversification strategy (e.g. `Strategy.MMR`). Defaults to `Strategy.DPP`.\n- **diversity** (float) – Trade-off between relevance and diversity in [0, 1].\n `0.0` keeps only the most relevant documents; `1.0` maximises\n diversity regardless of relevance. Defaults to `0.5`.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If `top_k` is not a positive integer or `diversity` is not in [0, 1].\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> PyversityRanker\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- PyversityRanker – The deserialized component instance.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n documents: list[Document],\n top_k: int | None = None,\n strategy: Strategy | None = None,\n diversity: float | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nRerank the list of documents using pyversity's diversification algorithm.\n\nDocuments missing `score` or `embedding` are skipped with a warning.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **documents** (list\\[Document\\]) – List of Documents to rerank. Each document must have `score` and `embedding` set.\n- **top_k** (int | None) – Overrides the initialized `top_k` for this call. `None` falls back to the initialized value.\n- **strategy** (Strategy | None) – Overrides the initialized `strategy` for this call. `None` falls back to the initialized value.\n- **diversity** (float | None) – Overrides the initialized `diversity` for this call.\n `None` falls back to the initialized value.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[Document\\]\\] – A dictionary with the following keys:\n- `documents`: List of up to `top_k` reranked Documents, ordered by the diversification algorithm.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If `top_k` is not a positive integer or `diversity` is not in [0, 1].\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.18/integrations-api/qdrant.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Qdrant\"\nid: integrations-qdrant\ndescription: \"Qdrant integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-qdrant\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.components.retrievers.qdrant.retriever\n\n\n\n### QdrantEmbeddingRetriever\n\nA component for retrieving documents from an QdrantDocumentStore using dense vectors.\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.qdrant import QdrantEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.qdrant import QdrantDocumentStore\n\ndocument_store = QdrantDocumentStore(\n \":memory:\",\n recreate_index=True,\n return_embedding=True,\n)\n\ndocument_store.write_documents([Document(content=\"test\", embedding=[0.5]*768)])\n\nretriever = QdrantEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store)\n\n# using a fake vector to keep the example simple\nretriever.run(query_embedding=[0.1]*768)\n```\n\n\n\n#### QdrantEmbeddingRetriever.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(document_store: QdrantDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | models.Filter | None = None,\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n return_embedding: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n score_threshold: float | None = None,\n group_by: str | None = None,\n group_size: int | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a QdrantEmbeddingRetriever component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `document_store`: An instance of QdrantDocumentStore.\n- `filters`: A dictionary with filters to narrow down the search space.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of documents to retrieve.

PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: Optional[Union[list[str],\n Literal[\"*\"]]] = None,\n variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: Optional[str] = None,\n template_variables: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n\n\n# Module chat\\_prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n## ChatPromptBuilder\n\nRenders a chat prompt from a template using Jinja2 syntax.\n\nA template can be a list of `ChatMessage` objects, or a special string, as shown in the usage examples.\n\nIt constructs prompts using static or dynamic templates, which you can update for each pipeline run.\n\nTemplate variables in the template are optional unless specified otherwise.\nIf an optional variable isn't provided, it defaults to an empty string. Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}.

Setting the value to 'None' will disable advanced\nlayout analysis, and text boxes will be ordered based on the position of their bottom left corner.\n- `detect_vertical`: This parameter determines whether vertical text should be considered during layout analysis.\n- `all_texts`: If layout analysis should be performed on text in figures.\n- `store_full_path`: If True, the full path of the file is stored in the metadata of the document.\nIf False, only the file name is stored.\n\n\n\n#### PDFMinerToDocument.detect\\_undecoded\\_cid\\_characters\n\n```python\ndef detect_undecoded_cid_characters(text: str) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nLook for character sequences of CID, i.e.: characters that haven't been properly decoded from their CID format.\n\nThis is useful to detect if the text extractor is not able to extract the text correctly, e.g. if the PDF uses\nnon-standard fonts.\n\nA PDF font may include a ToUnicode map (mapping from character code to Unicode) to support operations like\nsearching strings or copy & paste in a PDF viewer. This map immediately provides the mapping the text extractor\nneeds. If that map is not available the text extractor cannot decode the CID characters and will return them\nas is.\n\nsee: https://pdfminersix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-are-there-cid-x-values-in-the-textual-output\n\n:param: text: The text to check for undecoded CID characters\n:returns:\n A dictionary

For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls.

Available modes:\n- `concatenate`: Concatenates multiple lists of Answers into a single list.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return.\n- `sort_by_score`: If `True`, sorts the documents by score in descending order.\nIf a document has no score, it is handled as if its score is -infinity.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(answers=list[AnswerType])\ndef run(answers: Variadic[list[AnswerType]], top_k: Optional[int] = None)\n```\n\nJoins multiple lists of Answers into a single list depending on the `join_mode` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `answers`: Nested list of Answers to be merged.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return. Overrides the instance's `top_k` if provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `answers`: Merged list of Answers\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"AnswerJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n# Module branch\n\n\n\n## BranchJoiner\n\nA component that merges multiple input branches of a pipeline into a single output stream.\n\n`BranchJoiner` receives multiple inputs of the same data type and forwards the first received value\nto its output. This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

If a split has fewer units\nthan the threshold, it's attached to the previous split.\n- `splitting_function`: Necessary when `split_by` is set to \"function\".\nThis is a function which must accept a single `str` as input and return a `list` of `str` as output,\nrepresenting the chunks after splitting.\n- `respect_sentence_boundary`: Choose whether to respect sentence boundaries when splitting by \"word\".\nIf True, uses NLTK to detect sentence boundaries, ensuring splits occur only between sentences.\n- `language`: Choose the language for the NLTK tokenizer. The default is English (\"en\").\n- `use_split_rules`: Choose whether to use additional split rules when splitting by `sentence`.\n- `extend_abbreviations`: Choose whether to extend NLTK's PunktTokenizer abbreviations with a list\nof curated abbreviations, if available. This is currently supported for English (\"en\") and German (\"de\").\n- `skip_empty_documents`: Choose whether to skip documents with empty content.

entirely.\n- 'top' will place the documents at the top of the metadata-sorted list\n (regardless of 'ascending' or 'descending').\n- 'bottom' will place the documents at the bottom of metadata-sorted list\n (regardless of 'ascending' or 'descending').\nIf not provided, the missing_meta provided at initialization time is used.\n- `meta_value_type`: Parse the meta value into the data type specified before sorting.\nThis will only work if all meta values stored under `meta_field` in the provided documents are strings.\nFor example, if we specified `meta_value_type=\"date\"` then for the meta value `\"date\": \"2015-02-01\"`\nwe would parse the string into a datetime object and then sort the documents by date.\nThe available options are:\n-'float' will parse the meta values into floats.\n-'int' will parse the meta values into integers.\n-'date' will parse the meta values into datetime objects.\n-'None' (default) will do no parsing.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `top_k` is not > 0.\nIf `weight` is not in range [0,1].\nIf `ranking_mode` is not 'reciprocal_rank_fusion' or 'linear_score'.\nIf `sort_order` is not 'ascending' or 'descending'.\nIf `meta_value_type` is not 'float', 'int', 'date' or `None`.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `documents`: List of Documents sorted by the specified meta field.\n\n\n\n# Module meta\\_field\\_grouping\\_ranker\n\n\n\n## MetaFieldGroupingRanker\n\nReorders the documents by grouping them based on metadata keys.\n\nThe MetaFieldGroupingRanker can group documents by a primary metadata key `group_by`, and subgroup them with an optional\nsecondary key, `subgroup_by`.\nWithin each group or subgroup, it can also sort documents by a metadata key `sort_docs_by`.\n\nThe output is a flat list of documents ordered by `group_by` and `subgroup_by` values.\nAny documents without a group are placed at the end of the list.\n\nThe proper organization of documents helps improve the efficiency and performance of subsequent processing by an LLM.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import MetaFieldGroupingRanker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import

See the HierarchicalDocumentSplitter for more information on how to create\nsuch a structure. During retrieval, if the number of matched leaf documents below the same parent is\nhigher than a defined threshold, the retriever will return the parent document instead of the individual leaf\ndocuments.\n\nThe rational is, given that a paragraph is split into multiple chunks represented as leaf documents, and if for\na given query, multiple chunks are matched, the whole paragraph might be more informative than the individual\nchunks alone.\n\nCurrently the AutoMergingRetriever can only be used by the following DocumentStores:\n- [AstraDB](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/astradb)\n- [ElasticSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/elasticsearch)\n- [OpenSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/opensearch)\n- [PGVector](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/pgvector)\n- [Qdrant](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/qdrant)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.auto_merging_retriever import AutoMergingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\n# create a hierarchical document structure with 3 levels, where the parent document has 3 children\ntext = \"The sun rose early in the morning.

belonging to the same original document.\n- `split_id` represents the position/order of the chunk within the document.\n\nThe number of adjacent documents to include on each side of the retrieved

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n...\npipe.connect(\"router.enough_streams\", \"some_component_a.streams\")\npipe.connect(\"router.insufficient_streams\", \"some_component_b.streams_or_some_other_input\")\n...\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: Optional[dict[str, Callable]] = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n# Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n## DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n# Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n## DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n file_path_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n additional_mimetypes: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n# Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n## FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')\n# ]}\n# {'audio/.*': [\n# PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified':

raise_on_failure: bool = False)\n```\n\nInitialize the FileTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef

paths or byte streams to categorize.\n- `meta`: Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\nWhen provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\nThis value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\nIf it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\nIf it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\nTwo extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\nand `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n\n\n# Module

either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: Optional[str] = None,\n description: Optional[str] = None,\n parameters: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: Optional[dict[str, Union[str, Callable[[Any],\n str]]]] = None,\n inputs_from_state: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None,\n outputs_to_state: Optional[dict[str, dict[str, Union[str,\n Callable]]]] = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how a tool outputs should be converted into a string.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents\n}\n```\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n# Module toolset\n\n\n\n## Toolset\n\nA collection of related Tools that can be used and managed as a cohesive unit.\n\nToolset serves two main purposes:\n\n1. Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n\n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n\n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n\n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization. Failing to serialize the descriptor may\nlead to issues where outdated or incorrect Tool configurations are loaded, potentially causing errors or\nunexpected behavior.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nDeserialize a Toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset instance\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\", list[Tool]]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nConcatenate this Toolset with another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `other`: Another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools to concatenate\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TypeError`: If the other parameter is not a Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools\n- `ValueError`: If the combination would result in duplicate tool names\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset containing all tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__() -> int\n```\n\nReturn the number of Tools in this Toolset.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nNumber of Tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a Tool by index.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `index`: Index of the Tool to get\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe Tool at the specified index\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.19/haystack-api/utils_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: Utils\nid: utils-api\ndescription: Utility functions and classes used across the library.\nslug: \"/utils-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n# Module azure\n\n\n\n#### default\\_azure\\_ad\\_token\\_provider\n\n```python\ndef default_azure_ad_token_provider() -> str\n```\n\nGet a Azure AD token using the DefaultAzureCredential and the \"https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default\" scope.\n\n\n\n# Module jupyter\n\n\n\n#### is\\_in\\_jupyter\n\n```python\ndef is_in_jupyter() -> bool\n```\n\nReturns `True` if in Jupyter or Google Colab, `False` otherwise.\n\n\n\n# Module url\\_validation\n\n\n\n#### is\\_valid\\_http\\_url\n\n```python\ndef is_valid_http_url(url: str) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a URL is a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL.\n\n\n\n# Module auth\n\n\n\n## SecretType\n\n\n\n#### SecretType.from\\_str\n\n```python\n@staticmethod\ndef from_str(string: str) -> \"SecretType\"\n```\n\nConvert a string to a SecretType.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `string`: The string to convert.\n\n\n\n## Secret\n\nEncapsulates a secret used for authentication.\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\n\ngenerator = OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_token(\"\"))\n```\n\n\n\n#### Secret.from\\_token\n\n```python\n@staticmethod\ndef from_token(token: str) -> \"Secret\"\n```\n\nCreate a token-based secret.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n\n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n# Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n## Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n# Module deserialization\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_document\\_store\\_in\\_init\\_params\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_document_store_in_init_params_inplace(\n data: dict[str, Any], key: str = \"document_store\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserializes a generic document store from the init_parameters of a serialized component in place.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n- `key`: The key in the `data[\"init_parameters\"]` dictionary where the document store is specified.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the document store is not properly specified in the serialization data or its type cannot be imported.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe dictionary, with the document store deserialized.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_chatgenerator\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_chatgenerator_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a ChatGenerator in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the ChatGenerator is stored.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the key is missing in the serialized data, the value is not a dictionary,\nthe type key is missing, the class cannot be imported, or the class lacks a 'from_dict' method.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_component\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_component_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a Component in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the Component is stored.

haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock.chat.chat_generator\n\n### AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using LLMs hosted on Amazon Bedrock available via the Bedrock Converse API.\n\nFor example, to use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model, initialize this component with the\n'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0' model name.\n\n**Usage example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant, answer in German only\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\n\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\nclient.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 512})\n```\n\n**Multimodal example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage_content = ImageContent.from_file_path(file_path=\"apple.jpg\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe the image using 10 words at most.\", image_content])\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages=[message])[\"replies\"][0].text\n\nprint(response)\n> The image shows a red apple.\n```\n\n**Tool usage example**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator supports Haystack's unified tool architecture, allowing tools to be used\nacross different chat generators. The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.19/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.19/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

processes messages and executes tools until an exit condition is met.\nThe exit condition can be triggered either by a direct text response or by invoking a specific designated tool.\nMultiple exit conditions can be specified.\n\nWhen you call an Agent without tools, it acts as a ChatGenerator, produces one response, then exits.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents

Answer: this is an answer\".\n- `reference_pattern`: The regular expression pattern used for parsing the document references.\nIf not specified, no parsing is done, and all documents are returned.\nReferences need to be specified as indices of the input documents and start at [1].\nExample: `\\[(\\d+)\\]` finds \"1\" in a string \"this is an answer[1]\".\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `answers`: The answers received from the output of the Generator.\n\n\n\n## Module prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: Optional[Union[list[str],\n Literal[\"*\"]]] = None,\n variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: Optional[str] = None,\n template_variables: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n\n\n## Module chat\\_prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### ChatPromptBuilder\n\nRenders a chat prompt from a template using Jinja2 syntax.\n\nA template can be a list of `ChatMessage` objects, or a special string, as shown in the usage examples.\n\nIt constructs prompts using static or dynamic templates, which you can update for each pipeline run.\n\nTemplate variables in the template are optional unless specified otherwise.\nIf an optional variable isn't provided, it defaults to an empty string. Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nmsg = \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize.

In the example below we use the function calling payload directly, but in a\nreal-world scenario, the function calling payload would usually be generated by the `OpenAIChatGenerator` component.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nfc_payload = [{'function': {'arguments': '{\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"}', 'name': 'search'},\n 'id': 'call_PmEBYvZ7mGrQP5PUASA5m9wO', 'type': 'function'}]\n\nserper_token = \nserperdev_openapi_spec = json.loads(requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text)\nservice_connector = OpenAPIServiceConnector()\nresult = service_connector.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_assistant(json.dumps(fc_payload))],\n service_openapi_spec=serperdev_openapi_spec, service_credentials=serper_token)\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'service_response': [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text=\n>> '{\"searchParameters\": {\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\",\n>> \"type\": \"search\", \"engine\": \"google\"}, \"answerBox\": {\"snippet\": \"Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role\n>> in protecting were at the center of Altman's brief ouster from the company.\"...\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(ssl_verify: Optional[Union[bool, str]] = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the OpenAPIServiceConnector instance\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `ssl_verify`: Decide if to use SSL verification to the requests or not,\nin case a string is passed, will be used as the CA.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(service_response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n service_openapi_spec: dict[str, Any],\n service_credentials: Optional[Union[dict, str]] = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nProcesses a list of chat messages to invoke a method on an OpenAPI service.\n\nIt parses the last message in the list, expecting it to contain tool calls.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of `ChatMessage` objects containing the messages to be processed.

The\nresponse is in JSON format, and the `content` attribute of the `ChatMessage` contains\nthe JSON string.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIServiceConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module openapi\n\n\n\n### OpenAPIConnector\n\nOpenAPIConnector enables direct invocation of REST endpoints defined in an OpenAPI specification.\n\nThe OpenAPIConnector serves as a bridge between Haystack pipelines and any REST API that follows\nthe OpenAPI(formerly Swagger) specification. It dynamically interprets the API specification and\nprovides an interface for executing API operations. It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\n**Example**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\n**Notes**:\n\n - The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n - The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Optional[Secret] = None,\n service_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `openapi_spec`: URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- `credentials`: Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- `service_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\nFor example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(operation_id: str,\n arguments: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `operation_id`: The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- `arguments`: Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing the service response\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.20/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Converters\"\nid: converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module azure\n\n\n\n### AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

The prompt should have a variable called\n`document` that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So to access the content of the document,\nyou can use `{{ document.content }}` in the prompt.\n\nThe component will run the LLM on each document in the list and extract metadata from the document. The metadata\nwill be added to the document's metadata field. If the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, the document\nwill be added to the `failed_documents` list. The failed documents will have the keys `metadata_extraction_error` and\n`metadata_extraction_response` in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with another extractor to\nextract metadata by using the `metadata_extraction_response` and `metadata_extraction_error` in the prompt.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.llm_metadata_extractor import LLMMetadataExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nNER_PROMPT = '''\n-Goal-\nGiven text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.\n\n-Steps-\n1.

For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: Optional[StreamingCallbackT] = None,\n generation_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n *,\n tools: Optional[ToolsType] = None,\n tools_strict: Optional[bool] = None)\n```\n\nInvokes chat completion based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation.

It uses [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat in input and output.\n\nYou can customize how the text is generated by passing parameters to the\nOpenAI API. Use the `**generation_kwargs` argument when you initialize\nthe component or when you run it. Any parameter that works with\n`openai.Responses.create` will work here too.\n\nFor details on OpenAI API parameters, see\n[OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses).\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"low\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}})\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n api_key: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"),\n model: str = \"gpt-5-mini\",\n streaming_callback: Optional[StreamingCallbackT] = None,\n api_base_url: Optional[str] = None,\n organization: Optional[str] = None,\n generation_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n timeout: Optional[float] = None,\n max_retries: Optional[int] = None,\n tools: Optional[Union[ToolsType, list[dict]]] = None,\n tools_strict: bool = False,\n http_client_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None)\n```\n\nCreates an instance of OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator. Uses OpenAI's gpt-5-mini by default.\n\nBefore initializing the component, you can set the 'OPENAI_TIMEOUT' and 'OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES'\nenvironment variables to override the `timeout` and `max_retries` parameters respectively\nin the OpenAI client.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `api_key`: The OpenAI API key.\nYou can set it with an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or pass with this parameter\nduring initialization.\n- `model`: The name of the model to use.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\nThe callback function accepts [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk)\nas an argument.\n- `api_base_url`: An optional base URL.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`. See\n[production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent\ndirectly to the OpenAI endpoint.\nSee OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses) for\n more details.\n Some of the supported parameters:\n - `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random,\n while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.\n - `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n - `previous_response_id`: The ID of the previous response.\n Use this to create multi-turn conversations.\n - `text_format`: A Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n - `text`: A JSON schema that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n Notes:\n - Both JSON Schema and Pydantic models are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - If both are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and json schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n - Currently, this component doesn't support streaming for structured outputs.\n - Older models only support basic version of structured outputs through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`.\n For detailed information on JSON mode, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n - `reasoning`: A dictionary of parameters for reasoning. For example:\n - `summary`: The summary of the reasoning.\n - `effort`: The level of effort to put into the reasoning. Can be `low`, `medium` or `high`.\n - `generate_summary`: Whether to generate a summary of the reasoning.\n Note: OpenAI does not return the reasoning tokens, but we can view summary if its enabled.\n For details, see the [OpenAI Reasoning documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/reasoning).\n- `timeout`: Timeout for OpenAI client calls. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: The tools that the model can use to prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nmixed list of Haystack `Tool` objects and Haystack `Toolset`. Or you can pass a dictionary of\nOpenAI/MCP tool definitions.\nNote: You cannot pass OpenAI/MCP tools and Haystack tools together.\nFor details on tool support, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses-create-tools).\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `False`, the model may not exactly\nfollow the schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition. In Response API, tool calls\nare strict by default.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI responses chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n *,\n streaming_callback: Optional[StreamingCallbackT] = None,\n generation_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n tools: Optional[Union[ToolsType, list[dict]]] = None,\n tools_strict: Optional[bool] = None)\n```\n\nInvokes response generation based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation. These parameters will\noverride the parameters passed during component initialization.\nFor details on OpenAI API parameters, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create).\n- `tools`: The tools that the model can use to prepare calls.

Falls back on any exception raised by a generator.\nIf all chat generators fail, it raises a RuntimeError with details.\n\nTimeout enforcement is fully delegated to the underlying chat generators. The fallback mechanism will only\nwork correctly if the underlying chat generators implement proper timeout handling and raise exceptions\nwhen timeouts occur. For predictable latency guarantees, ensure your chat generators:\n- Support a `timeout` parameter in their initialization\n- Implement timeout as total wall-clock time (shared deadline for both streaming and non-streaming)\n- Raise timeout exceptions (e.g., TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError, httpx.TimeoutException) when exceeded\n\nNote: Most well-implemented chat generators (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) support timeout parameters\nwith consistent semantics. For HTTP-based LLM providers, a single timeout value (e.g., `timeout=30`)\ntypically applies to all connection phases: connection setup, read, write, and pool. For streaming\nresponses, read timeout is the maximum gap between chunks. For non-streaming, it's the time limit for\nreceiving the complete response.\n\nFailover is automatically triggered when a generator raises any exception, including:\n- Timeout errors (if the generator implements and raises them)\n- Rate limit errors (429)\n- Authentication errors (401)\n- Context length errors (400)\n- Server errors (500+)\n- Any other exception\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(chat_generators: list[ChatGenerator])\n```\n\nCreates an instance of FallbackChatGenerator.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generators`: A non-empty list of chat generator components to try in order.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the component, including nested chat generators when they support serialization.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> FallbackChatGenerator\n```\n\nRebuild the component from a serialized representation, restoring nested chat generators.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nWarm up all underlying chat generators.\n\nThis method calls warm_up() on each underlying generator that supports it.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: Union[dict[str, Any], None] = None,\n tools: Optional[ToolsType] = None,\n streaming_callback: Union[StreamingCallbackT,\n None] = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\\_async\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\nasync def run_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: Union[dict[str, Any], None] = None,\n tools: Optional[ToolsType] = None,\n streaming_callback: Union[StreamingCallbackT,\n None] = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nAsynchronously execute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.20/haystack-api/image_converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Image Converters\"\nid: image-converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform image data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/image-converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_to\\_image\n\n\n\n### DocumentToImageContent\n\nConverts documents sourced from PDF and image files into ImageContents.\n\nThis component processes a list of documents and extracts visual content from supported file formats, converting\nthem into ImageContents that can be used for multimodal AI tasks.

Available modes:\n- `concatenate`: Concatenates multiple lists of Answers into a single list.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return.\n- `sort_by_score`: If `True`, sorts the documents by score in descending order.\nIf a document has no score, it is handled as if its score is -infinity.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(answers=list[AnswerType])\ndef run(answers: Variadic[list[AnswerType]], top_k: Optional[int] = None)\n```\n\nJoins multiple lists of Answers into a single list depending on the `join_mode` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `answers`: Nested list of Answers to be merged.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return. Overrides the instance's `top_k` if provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `answers`: Merged list of Answers\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"AnswerJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module branch\n\n\n\n### BranchJoiner\n\nA component that merges multiple input branches of a pipeline into a single output stream.\n\n`BranchJoiner` receives multiple inputs of the same data type and forwards the first received value\nto its output. This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

Greedy Diversity Order:\n\n Implements a document ranking algorithm that orders documents in a way that maximizes the overall diversity\n of the documents based on their similarity to the query.\n\n It uses a pre-trained Sentence Transformers model to embed the query and\n the documents.\n\n2. Maximum Margin Relevance:\n\n Implements a document ranking algorithm that orders documents based on their Maximum Margin Relevance (MMR)\n scores.\n\n MMR scores are calculated for each document based on their relevance to the query and diversity from already\n selected documents. The algorithm iteratively selects documents based on their MMR scores, balancing between\n relevance to the query and diversity from already selected documents. The 'lambda_threshold' controls the\n trade-off between relevance and diversity.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker\n\nranker = SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker(model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\", similarity=\"cosine\", strategy=\"greedy_diversity_order\")\nranker.warm_up()\n\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\nquery = \"What is the capital of germany?\"\noutput = ranker.run(query=query, documents=docs)\ndocs = output[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n\n\n#### SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n model: str = \"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n device: Optional[ComponentDevice] = None,\n token: Optional[Secret] = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"HF_API_TOKEN\", \"HF_TOKEN\"], strict=False),\n similarity: Union[str, DiversityRankingSimilarity] = \"cosine\",\n query_prefix: str = \"\",\n query_suffix: str = \"\",\n document_prefix: str = \"\",\n document_suffix: str = \"\",\n meta_fields_to_embed: Optional[list[str]] = None,\n embedding_separator: str = \"\\n\",\n strategy: Union[str,\n DiversityRankingStrategy] = \"greedy_diversity_order\",\n lambda_threshold: float = 0.5,\n model_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n tokenizer_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n config_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n backend: Literal[\"torch\", \"onnx\", \"openvino\"] = \"torch\")\n```\n\nInitialize a SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `model`: Local path or name of the model in Hugging Face's model hub,\nsuch as `'sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2'`.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Documents to return per query.\n- `device`: The device on which the model is loaded.

See the HierarchicalDocumentSplitter for more information on how to create\nsuch a structure. During retrieval, if the number of matched leaf documents below the same parent is\nhigher than a defined threshold, the retriever will return the parent document instead of the individual leaf\ndocuments.\n\nThe rational is, given that a paragraph is split into multiple chunks represented as leaf documents, and if for\na given query, multiple chunks are matched, the whole paragraph might be more informative than the individual\nchunks alone.\n\nCurrently the AutoMergingRetriever can only be used by the following DocumentStores:\n- [AstraDB](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/astradb)\n- [ElasticSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/elasticsearch)\n- [OpenSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/opensearch)\n- [PGVector](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/pgvector)\n- [Qdrant](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/qdrant)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.auto_merging_retriever import AutoMergingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\n# create a hierarchical document structure with 3 levels, where the parent document has 3 children\ntext = \"The sun rose early in the morning.

belonging to the same original document.\n- `split_id` represents the position/order of the chunk within the document.\n\nThe number of adjacent documents to include on each side of the retrieved document can be configured using the\n`window_size` parameter. You can also specify which metadata fields to use for source and split ID\nvia `source_id_meta_field` and `split_id_meta_field`.\n\nThe SentenceWindowRetriever is compatible with the following DocumentStores:\n- [Astra](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/astradocumentstore)\n- [Elasticsearch](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/elasticsearch-document-store)\n- [OpenSearch](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/opensearch-document-store)\n- [Pgvector](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/pgvectordocumentstore)\n- [Pinecone](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/pinecone-document-store)\n- [Qdrant](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/qdrant-document-store)\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import SentenceWindowRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nsplitter = DocumentSplitter(split_length=10, split_overlap=5, split_by=\"word\")\ntext = (\n \"This is a text with some words.

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n...\npipe.connect(\"router.enough_streams\", \"some_component_a.streams\")\npipe.connect(\"router.insufficient_streams\", \"some_component_b.streams_or_some_other_input\")\n...\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: Optional[dict[str, Callable]] = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n file_path_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n additional_mimetypes: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n## Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')\n# ]}\n# {'audio/.*': [\n# PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('document.pdf')\n# ]}\n```\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(mime_types: list[str],\n additional_mimetypes: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = False)\n```\n\nInitialize the FileTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"FileTypeRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(\n sources: list[Union[str, Path, ByteStream]],\n meta: Optional[Union[dict[str, Any], list[dict[str, Any]]]] = None\n) -> dict[str, list[Union[ByteStream, Path]]]\n```\n\nCategorize files or byte streams according to their MIME types.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `sources`: A list of file paths or byte streams to categorize.\n- `meta`: Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\nWhen provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\nThis value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\nIf it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\nIf it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\nTwo extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\nand `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n\n\n## Module llm\\_messages\\_router\n\n\n\n### LLMMessagesRouter\n\nRoutes Chat Messages to different connections using a generative Language Model to perform classification.\n\n This component can be used with

either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\", tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: Optional[str] = None,\n description: Optional[str] = None,\n parameters: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: Optional[dict[str, Union[str, Callable[[Any],\n str]]]] = None,\n inputs_from_state: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None,\n outputs_to_state: Optional[dict[str, dict[str, Union[str,\n Callable]]]] = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how a tool outputs should be converted into a string.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents\n}\n```\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nPrepare the ComponentTool for use.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n## Module toolset\n\n\n\n### Toolset\n\nA collection of related Tools that can be used and managed as a cohesive unit.\n\nToolset serves two main purposes:\n\n1. Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n \n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n \n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n \n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n \n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Toolset for use.\n\nBy default, this method iterates through and warms up all tools in the Toolset.\nSubclasses can override this method to customize initialization behavior, such as:\n\n- Setting up shared resources (database connections, HTTP sessions) instead of\n warming individual tools\n- Implementing custom initialization logic for dynamically loaded tools\n- Controlling when and how tools are initialized\n\nFor example, a Toolset that manages tools from an external service (like MCPToolset)\nmight override this to initialize a shared connection rather than warming up\nindividual tools:\n\n```python\nclass MCPToolset(Toolset):\n def warm_up(self) -> None:\n # Only warm up the shared MCP connection, not individual tools\n self.mcp_connection = establish_connection(self.server_url)\n```\n\nThis method should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization. Failing to serialize the descriptor may\nlead to issues where outdated or incorrect Tool configurations are loaded, potentially causing errors or\nunexpected behavior.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nDeserialize a Toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset instance\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\", list[Tool]]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nConcatenate this Toolset with another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `other`: Another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools to concatenate\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TypeError`: If the other parameter is not a Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools\n- `ValueError`: If the combination would result in duplicate tool names\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset containing all tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__() -> int\n```\n\nReturn the number of Tools in this Toolset.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nNumber of Tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a Tool by index.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `index`: Index of the Tool to get\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe Tool at the specified index\n\n\n\n### \\_ToolsetWrapper\n\nA wrapper that holds multiple toolsets and provides a unified interface.\n\nThis is used internally when combining different types of toolsets to preserve\ntheir individual configurations while still being usable with ToolInvoker.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__()\n```\n\nIterate over all tools from all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item)\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in any of the toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__()\n```\n\nReturn total number of tools across all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a tool by index across all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other)\n```\n\nAdd another toolset or tool to this wrapper.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n \n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n## Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n### Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n## Module deserialization\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_document\\_store\\_in\\_init\\_params\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_document_store_in_init_params_inplace(\n data: dict[str, Any], key: str = \"document_store\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserializes a generic document store from the init_parameters of a serialized component in place.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n- `key`: The key in the `data[\"init_parameters\"]` dictionary where the document store is specified.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the document store is not properly specified in the serialization data or its type cannot be imported.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe dictionary, with the document store deserialized.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_chatgenerator\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_chatgenerator_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a ChatGenerator in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the ChatGenerator is stored.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the key is missing in the serialized data, the value is not a dictionary,\nthe type key is missing, the class cannot be imported, or the class lacks a 'from_dict' method.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_component\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_component_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a Component in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the Component is stored.

haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock.chat.chat_generator\n\n### AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using LLMs hosted on Amazon Bedrock available via the Bedrock Converse API.\n\nFor example, to use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model, initialize this component with the\n'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0' model name.\n\n**Usage example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant, answer in German only\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\n\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\nclient.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 512})\n```\n\n**Multimodal example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage_content = ImageContent.from_file_path(file_path=\"apple.jpg\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe the image using 10 words at most.\", image_content])\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages=[message])[\"replies\"][0].text\n\nprint(response)\n> The image shows a red apple.\n```\n\n**Tool usage example**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator supports Haystack's unified tool architecture, allowing tools to be used\nacross different chat generators. The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.20/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.20/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

processes messages and executes tools until an exit condition is met.\nThe exit condition can be triggered either by a direct text response or by invoking a specific designated tool.\nMultiple exit conditions can be specified.\n\nWhen you call an Agent without tools, it acts as a ChatGenerator, produces one response, then exits.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents

Answer: this is an answer\".\n- `reference_pattern`: The regular expression pattern used for parsing the document references.\nIf not specified, no parsing is done, and all documents are returned.\nReferences need to be specified as indices of the input documents and start at [1].\nExample: `\\[(\\d+)\\]` finds \"1\" in a string \"this is an answer[1]\".\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `answers`: The answers received from the output of the Generator.\n\n\n\n## Module prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: Optional[Union[list[str],\n Literal[\"*\"]]] = None,\n variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: Optional[str] = None,\n template_variables: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n\n\n## Module chat\\_prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### ChatPromptBuilder\n\nRenders a chat prompt from a template using Jinja2 syntax.\n\nA template can be a list of `ChatMessage` objects, or a special string, as shown in the usage examples.\n\nIt constructs prompts using static or dynamic templates, which you can update for each pipeline run.\n\nTemplate variables in the template are optional unless specified otherwise.\nIf an optional variable isn't provided, it defaults to an empty string. Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nmsg = \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize.

In the example below we use the function calling payload directly, but in a\nreal-world scenario, the function calling payload would usually be generated by the `OpenAIChatGenerator` component.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nfc_payload = [{'function': {'arguments': '{\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"}', 'name': 'search'},\n 'id': 'call_PmEBYvZ7mGrQP5PUASA5m9wO', 'type': 'function'}]\n\nserper_token = \nserperdev_openapi_spec = json.loads(requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text)\nservice_connector = OpenAPIServiceConnector()\nresult = service_connector.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_assistant(json.dumps(fc_payload))],\n service_openapi_spec=serperdev_openapi_spec, service_credentials=serper_token)\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'service_response': [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text=\n>> '{\"searchParameters\": {\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\",\n>> \"type\": \"search\", \"engine\": \"google\"}, \"answerBox\": {\"snippet\": \"Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role\n>> in protecting were at the center of Altman's brief ouster from the company.\"...\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(ssl_verify: Optional[Union[bool, str]] = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the OpenAPIServiceConnector instance\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `ssl_verify`: Decide if to use SSL verification to the requests or not,\nin case a string is passed, will be used as the CA.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(service_response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n service_openapi_spec: dict[str, Any],\n service_credentials: Optional[Union[dict, str]] = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nProcesses a list of chat messages to invoke a method on an OpenAPI service.\n\nIt parses the last message in the list, expecting it to contain tool calls.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of `ChatMessage` objects containing the messages to be processed.

The\nresponse is in JSON format, and the `content` attribute of the `ChatMessage` contains\nthe JSON string.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIServiceConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module openapi\n\n\n\n### OpenAPIConnector\n\nOpenAPIConnector enables direct invocation of REST endpoints defined in an OpenAPI specification.\n\nThe OpenAPIConnector serves as a bridge between Haystack pipelines and any REST API that follows\nthe OpenAPI(formerly Swagger) specification. It dynamically interprets the API specification and\nprovides an interface for executing API operations. It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\n**Example**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\n**Notes**:\n\n - The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n - The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Optional[Secret] = None,\n service_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `openapi_spec`: URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- `credentials`: Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- `service_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\nFor example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(operation_id: str,\n arguments: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `operation_id`: The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- `arguments`: Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing the service response\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.21/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Converters\"\nid: converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module azure\n\n\n\n### AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

The prompt should have a variable called\n`document` that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So to access the content of the document,\nyou can use `{{ document.content }}` in the prompt.\n\nThe component will run the LLM on each document in the list and extract metadata from the document. The metadata\nwill be added to the document's metadata field. If the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, the document\nwill be added to the `failed_documents` list. The failed documents will have the keys `metadata_extraction_error` and\n`metadata_extraction_response` in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with another extractor to\nextract metadata by using the `metadata_extraction_response` and `metadata_extraction_error` in the prompt.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.llm_metadata_extractor import LLMMetadataExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nNER_PROMPT = '''\n-Goal-\nGiven text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.\n\n-Steps-\n1.

For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: Optional[StreamingCallbackT] = None,\n generation_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n *,\n tools: Optional[ToolsType] = None,\n tools_strict: Optional[bool] = None)\n```\n\nInvokes chat completion based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation.

It uses [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat in input and output.\n\nYou can customize how the text is generated by passing parameters to the\nOpenAI API. Use the `**generation_kwargs` argument when you initialize\nthe component or when you run it. Any parameter that works with\n`openai.Responses.create` will work here too.\n\nFor details on OpenAI API parameters, see\n[OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses).\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"low\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}})\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n api_key: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"),\n model: str = \"gpt-5-mini\",\n streaming_callback: Optional[StreamingCallbackT] = None,\n api_base_url: Optional[str] = None,\n organization: Optional[str] = None,\n generation_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n timeout: Optional[float] = None,\n max_retries: Optional[int] = None,\n tools: Optional[Union[ToolsType, list[dict]]] = None,\n tools_strict: bool = False,\n http_client_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None)\n```\n\nCreates an instance of OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator. Uses OpenAI's gpt-5-mini by default.\n\nBefore initializing the component, you can set the 'OPENAI_TIMEOUT' and 'OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES'\nenvironment variables to override the `timeout` and `max_retries` parameters respectively\nin the OpenAI client.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `api_key`: The OpenAI API key.\nYou can set it with an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or pass with this parameter\nduring initialization.\n- `model`: The name of the model to use.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\nThe callback function accepts [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk)\nas an argument.\n- `api_base_url`: An optional base URL.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`. See\n[production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent\ndirectly to the OpenAI endpoint.\nSee OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses) for\n more details.\n Some of the supported parameters:\n - `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random,\n while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.\n - `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n - `previous_response_id`: The ID of the previous response.\n Use this to create multi-turn conversations.\n - `text_format`: A Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n - `text`: A JSON schema that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n Notes:\n - Both JSON Schema and Pydantic models are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - If both are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and json schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n - Currently, this component doesn't support streaming for structured outputs.\n - Older models only support basic version of structured outputs through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`.\n For detailed information on JSON mode, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n - `reasoning`: A dictionary of parameters for reasoning. For example:\n - `summary`: The summary of the reasoning.\n - `effort`: The level of effort to put into the reasoning. Can be `low`, `medium` or `high`.\n - `generate_summary`: Whether to generate a summary of the reasoning.\n Note: OpenAI does not return the reasoning tokens, but we can view summary if its enabled.\n For details, see the [OpenAI Reasoning documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/reasoning).\n- `timeout`: Timeout for OpenAI client calls. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: The tools that the model can use to prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nmixed list of Haystack `Tool` objects and Haystack `Toolset`. Or you can pass a dictionary of\nOpenAI/MCP tool definitions.\nNote: You cannot pass OpenAI/MCP tools and Haystack tools together.\nFor details on tool support, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses-create-tools).\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `False`, the model may not exactly\nfollow the schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition. In Response API, tool calls\nare strict by default.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI responses chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n *,\n streaming_callback: Optional[StreamingCallbackT] = None,\n generation_kwargs: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n tools: Optional[Union[ToolsType, list[dict]]] = None,\n tools_strict: Optional[bool] = None)\n```\n\nInvokes response generation based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation.

Falls back on any exception raised by a generator.\nIf all chat generators fail, it raises a RuntimeError with details.\n\nTimeout enforcement is fully delegated to the underlying chat generators. The fallback mechanism will only\nwork correctly if the underlying chat generators implement proper timeout handling and raise exceptions\nwhen timeouts occur. For predictable latency guarantees, ensure your chat generators:\n- Support a `timeout` parameter in their initialization\n- Implement timeout as total wall-clock time (shared deadline for both streaming and non-streaming)\n- Raise timeout exceptions (e.g., TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError, httpx.TimeoutException) when exceeded\n\nNote: Most well-implemented chat generators (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) support timeout parameters\nwith consistent semantics. For HTTP-based LLM providers, a single timeout value (e.g., `timeout=30`)\ntypically applies to all connection phases: connection setup, read, write, and pool. For streaming\nresponses, read timeout is the maximum gap between chunks. For non-streaming, it's the time limit for\nreceiving the complete response.\n\nFailover is automatically triggered when a generator raises any exception, including:\n- Timeout errors (if the generator implements and raises them)\n- Rate limit errors (429)\n- Authentication errors (401)\n- Context length errors (400)\n- Server errors (500+)\n- Any other exception\n\n\n\n####

and image files into ImageContents.\n\nThis component processes a list of documents and extracts visual content from supported file formats, converting\nthem into ImageContents that can be used for multimodal AI tasks. It handles both direct image files and PDF\ndocuments by extracting specific pages as images.\n\nDocuments are expected to have metadata containing:\n- The `file_path_meta_field` key with a valid file path that exists when combined with `root_path`\n- A supported image format (MIME type must be one of the supported image types)\n- For PDF files, a `page_number` key specifying which page to extract\n\n### Usage example\n ```python\n from haystack import Document\n from haystack.components.converters.image.document_to_image import DocumentToImageContent\n\n converter = DocumentToImageContent(\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n root_path=\"/data/files\",\n detail=\"high\",\n size=(800, 600)\n )\n\n documents = [\n Document(content=\"Optional description of image.jpg\", meta={\"file_path\": \"image.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"Text content of page 1 of doc.pdf\", meta={\"file_path\": \"doc.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1})\n ]\n\n result = converter.run(documents)\n image_contents = result[\"image_contents\"]\n # [ImageContent(\n # base64_image='/9j/4A...', mime_type='image/jpeg', detail='high', meta={'file_path': 'image.jpg'}\n # ),\n # ImageContent(\n # base64_image='/9j/4A...', mime_type='image/jpeg', detail='high',\n # meta={'page_number': 1, 'file_path': 'doc.pdf'}\n # )]\n ```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentToImageContent.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n file_path_meta_field: str = \"file_path\",\n root_path: Optional[str] = None,\n detail: Optional[Literal[\"auto\", \"high\", \"low\"]] = None,\n size: Optional[tuple[int, int]] = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentToImageContent component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `file_path_meta_field`: The metadata field in the Document that contains the file path to the image or PDF.\n- `root_path`: The root directory path where document files are located.

Can be \"auto\", \"high\", or \"low\".\nThis will be passed to the created ImageContent objects.\n- `size`: If provided, resizes the image to fit within the specified dimensions (width, height) while\nmaintaining aspect ratio. This reduces file size, memory usage, and processing time, which is beneficial\nwhen working with models that have resolution constraints or when transmitting images to remote services.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentToImageContent.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(image_contents=list[Optional[ImageContent]])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Optional[ImageContent]]]\n```\n\nConvert documents with image or PDF sources into ImageContent objects.\n\nThis method processes the input documents, extracting images from supported file formats and converting them\ninto ImageContent objects.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to process. Each document should have metadata containing at minimum\na 'file_path_meta_field' key. PDF documents additionally require a 'page_number' key to specify which\npage to convert.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any document is missing the required metadata keys, has an invalid file path, or has an unsupported\nMIME type. The error message will specify which document and what information is missing or incorrect.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing one key:\n- \"image_contents\": ImageContents created from the processed documents.

Available modes:\n- `concatenate`: Concatenates multiple lists of Answers into a single list.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return.\n- `sort_by_score`: If `True`, sorts the documents by score in descending order.\nIf a document has no score, it is handled as if its score is -infinity.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(answers=list[AnswerType])\ndef run(answers: Variadic[list[AnswerType]], top_k: Optional[int] = None)\n```\n\nJoins multiple lists of Answers into a single list depending on the `join_mode` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `answers`: Nested list of Answers to be merged.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Answers to return. Overrides the instance's `top_k` if provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `answers`: Merged list of Answers\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### AnswerJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"AnswerJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module branch\n\n\n\n### BranchJoiner\n\nA component that merges multiple input branches of a pipeline into a single output stream.\n\n`BranchJoiner` receives multiple inputs of the same data type and forwards the first received value\nto its output. This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator())\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

If a split has fewer units\nthan the threshold, it's attached to the previous split.\n- `splitting_function`: Necessary when `split_by` is set to \"function\".\nThis is a function which must accept a single `str` as input and return a `list` of `str` as output,\nrepresenting the chunks after splitting.\n- `respect_sentence_boundary`: Choose whether to respect sentence boundaries when splitting by \"word\".\nIf True, uses NLTK to detect sentence boundaries, ensuring splits occur only between sentences.\n- `language`: Choose the language for the NLTK tokenizer. The default is English (\"en\").\n- `use_split_rules`: Choose whether to use additional split rules when splitting by `sentence`.\n- `extend_abbreviations`: Choose whether to extend NLTK's PunktTokenizer abbreviations with a list\nof curated abbreviations, if available. This is currently supported for English (\"en\") and German (\"de\").\n- `skip_empty_documents`: Choose whether to skip documents with empty content. Default is True.\nSet to False when downstream components in the Pipeline (like LLMDocumentContentExtractor) can extract text\nfrom non-textual documents.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentSplitter.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the DocumentSplitter by loading the sentence tokenizer.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentSplitter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document])\n```\n\nSplit documents into smaller parts.\n\nSplits documents by the unit expressed in `split_by`, with a length of `split_length`\nand an overlap of `split_overlap`.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: The documents to split.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TypeError`: if the input is not a list of Documents.\n- `ValueError`: if the content of a document is None.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following key:\n- `documents`: List of documents with the split texts.

'reciprocal_rank_fusion' (default) and 'linear_score'.\nUse the 'score' mode only with Retrievers or Rankers that return a score in range [0,1].\nIf not provided, the ranking_mode provided at initialization time is used.\n- `sort_order`: Whether to sort the meta field by ascending or descending order.\nPossible values are `descending` (default) and `ascending`.\nIf not provided, the

entirely.\n- 'top' will place the documents at the top of the metadata-sorted list\n (regardless of 'ascending' or 'descending').\n- 'bottom' will place the documents at the bottom of metadata-sorted list\n (regardless of 'ascending' or 'descending').\nIf not provided, the missing_meta provided at initialization time is used.\n- `meta_value_type`: Parse the meta value into the data type specified before sorting.\nThis will only work if all meta values stored under `meta_field` in the provided documents are strings.\nFor example, if we specified `meta_value_type=\"date\"` then for the meta value `\"date\": \"2015-02-01\"`\nwe would parse the string into a datetime object and then sort the documents by date.\nThe available options are:\n-'float' will parse the meta values into floats.\n-'int' will parse the meta values into integers.\n-'date' will parse the meta values into datetime objects.\n-'None' (default) will do no parsing.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `top_k`

meta\\_field\\_grouping\\_ranker\n\n\n\n### MetaFieldGroupingRanker\n\nReorders the documents by grouping them based on metadata keys.\n\nThe MetaFieldGroupingRanker can group documents by a primary metadata key `group_by`, and subgroup them with an optional\nsecondary key, `subgroup_by`.\nWithin each group or subgroup, it can also sort documents by a metadata key `sort_docs_by`.\n\nThe output is a flat list of documents ordered by `group_by` and `subgroup_by` values.\nAny documents without a group are placed at the end of the list.\n\nThe proper organization of documents helps improve the efficiency and performance of subsequent processing by an LLM.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import MetaFieldGroupingRanker\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import

You can also specify which metadata fields to use for source and split ID\nvia `source_id_meta_field` and `split_id_meta_field`.\n\nThe SentenceWindowRetriever is compatible with the following DocumentStores:\n- [Astra](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/astradocumentstore)\n- [Elasticsearch](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/elasticsearch-document-store)\n- [OpenSearch](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/opensearch-document-store)\n- [Pgvector](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/pgvectordocumentstore)\n- [Pinecone](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/pinecone-document-store)\n- [Qdrant](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/qdrant-document-store)\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers import SentenceWindowRetriever\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\nsplitter = DocumentSplitter(split_length=10, split_overlap=5, split_by=\"word\")\ntext = (\n \"This is a text with some words.

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[ByteStream],\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n...\npipe.connect(\"router.enough_streams\", \"some_component_a.streams\")\npipe.connect(\"router.insufficient_streams\", \"some_component_b.streams_or_some_other_input\")\n...\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: Optional[dict[str, Callable]] = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: Optional[list[str]] = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n file_path_meta_field: Optional[str] = None,\n additional_mimetypes: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n## Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')\n# ]}\n# {'audio/.*': [\n# PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified':

streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef

from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(\n sources: list[Union[str, Path, ByteStream]],\n meta: Optional[Union[dict[str, Any], list[dict[str, Any]]]] = None\n) -> dict[str, list[Union[ByteStream, Path]]]\n```\n\nCategorize files or byte streams according to their MIME types.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `sources`: A list of file paths or byte streams to categorize.\n- `meta`: Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\nWhen provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\nThis value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\nIf it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\nIf it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\nTwo extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\nand `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n\n\n## Module

either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: Optional[str] = None,\n description: Optional[str] = None,\n parameters: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: Optional[dict[str, Union[str, Callable[[Any],\n str]]]] = None,\n inputs_from_state: Optional[dict[str, str]] = None,\n outputs_to_state: Optional[dict[str, dict[str, Union[str,\n Callable]]]] = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how a tool outputs should be converted into a string.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents\n}\n```\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nPrepare the ComponentTool for use.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n## Module toolset\n\n\n\n### Toolset\n\nA collection of related Tools that can be used and managed as a cohesive unit.\n\nToolset serves two main purposes:\n\n1. Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n \n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n \n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n \n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n \n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Toolset for use.\n\nBy default, this method iterates through and warms up all tools in the Toolset.\nSubclasses can override this method to customize initialization behavior, such as:\n\n- Setting up shared resources (database connections, HTTP sessions) instead of\n warming individual tools\n- Implementing custom initialization logic for dynamically loaded tools\n- Controlling when and how tools are initialized\n\nFor example, a Toolset that manages tools from an external service (like MCPToolset)\nmight override this to initialize a shared connection rather than warming up\nindividual tools:\n\n```python\nclass MCPToolset(Toolset):\n def warm_up(self) -> None:\n # Only warm up the shared MCP connection, not individual tools\n self.mcp_connection = establish_connection(self.server_url)\n```\n\nThis method should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n \n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n## Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n### Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> Union[nodes.Node, list[nodes.Node]]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n## Module deserialization\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_document\\_store\\_in\\_init\\_params\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_document_store_in_init_params_inplace(\n data: dict[str, Any], key: str = \"document_store\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserializes a generic document store from the init_parameters of a serialized component in place.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n- `key`: The key in the `data[\"init_parameters\"]` dictionary where the document store is specified.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the document store is not properly specified in the serialization data or its type cannot be imported.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe dictionary, with the document store deserialized.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_chatgenerator\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_chatgenerator_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a ChatGenerator in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the ChatGenerator is stored.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `DeserializationError`: If the key is missing in the serialized data, the value is not a dictionary,\nthe type key is missing, the class cannot be imported, or the class lacks a 'from_dict' method.\n\n\n\n#### deserialize\\_component\\_inplace\n\n```python\ndef deserialize_component_inplace(data: dict[str, Any],\n key: str = \"chat_generator\") -> None\n```\n\nDeserialize a Component in a dictionary inplace.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary with the serialized data.\n- `key`: The key in the dictionary where the Component is stored.

haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock.chat.chat_generator\n\n### AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using LLMs hosted on Amazon Bedrock available via the Bedrock Converse API.\n\nFor example, to use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model, initialize this component with the\n'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0' model name.\n\n**Usage example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant, answer in German only\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\n\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\nclient.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 512})\n```\n\n**Multimodal example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage_content = ImageContent.from_file_path(file_path=\"apple.jpg\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe the image using 10 words at most.\", image_content])\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages=[message])[\"replies\"][0].text\n\nprint(response)\n> The image shows a red apple.\n```\n\n**Tool usage example**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator supports Haystack's unified tool architecture, allowing tools to be used\nacross different chat generators. The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.21/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.21/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

processes messages and executes tools until an exit condition is met.\nThe exit condition can be triggered either by a direct text response or by invoking a specific designated tool.\nMultiple exit conditions can be specified.\n\nWhen you call an Agent without tools, it acts as a ChatGenerator, produces one response, then exits.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents

Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nmsg = \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize.

The component looks for Jinja2 template syntax and\nrenders the prompt with the provided variables. Provide the template in either\nthe `init` method` or the `run` method.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to ChatPromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(template: list[ChatMessage] | str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables with pipeline kwargs.\nTo overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nTo overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional list of `ChatMessage` objects or string template to overwrite ChatPromptBuilder's default\ntemplate.\nIf `None`, the default template provided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `chat_messages` is empty or contains elements that are not instances of `ChatMessage`.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated list of `ChatMessage` objects after rendering the templates.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ChatPromptBuilder\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize and create the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: list[str] | Literal[\"*\"] | None = None,\n variables: list[str] | None = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.22/haystack-api/cachings_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Caching\"\nid: caching-api\ndescription: \"Checks if any document coming from the given URL is already present in the store.\"\nslug: \"/caching-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module cache\\_checker\n\n\n\n### CacheChecker\n\nChecks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified field in each document's metadata.\n\nIf matching documents are found, they are returned as \"hits\".

It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\n**Example**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\n**Notes**:\n\n - The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n - The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Secret | None = None,\n service_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `openapi_spec`: URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- `credentials`: Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- `service_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\nFor example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(operation_id: str,\n arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `operation_id`: The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- `arguments`: Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing the service response\n\n\n\n## Module openapi\\_service\n\n\n\n### OpenAPIServiceConnector\n\nA component which connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services.\n\nThe `OpenAPIServiceConnector` component connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services, enabling it to call\noperations as defined in the OpenAPI specification of the service.\n\nIt integrates with `ChatMessage` dataclass, where the payload in messages is used to determine the method to be\ncalled and the parameters to be passed. The message payload should be an OpenAI JSON formatted function calling\nstring consisting of the method name and the parameters to be passed to the method. The method name and parameters\nare then used to invoke the method on the OpenAPI service. The response from the service is returned as a\n`ChatMessage`.\n\nBefore using this component, users usually resolve service endpoint parameters with a help of\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component.\n\nThe example below demonstrates how to use the `OpenAPIServiceConnector` to invoke a method on a https://serper.dev/\nservice specified via OpenAPI specification.\n\nNote, however, that `OpenAPIServiceConnector` is usually not meant to be used directly, but rather as part of a\npipeline that includes the `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component and an `OpenAIChatGenerator` component using LLM\nwith the function calling capabilities. In the example below we use the function calling payload directly, but in a\nreal-world scenario, the function calling payload would usually be generated by the `OpenAIChatGenerator` component.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nfc_payload = [{'function': {'arguments': '{\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"}', 'name': 'search'},\n 'id': 'call_PmEBYvZ7mGrQP5PUASA5m9wO', 'type': 'function'}]\n\nserper_token = \nserperdev_openapi_spec = json.loads(requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text)\nservice_connector = OpenAPIServiceConnector()\nresult = service_connector.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_assistant(json.dumps(fc_payload))],\n service_openapi_spec=serperdev_openapi_spec, service_credentials=serper_token)\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'service_response': [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text=\n>> '{\"searchParameters\": {\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\",\n>> \"type\": \"search\", \"engine\": \"google\"}, \"answerBox\": {\"snippet\": \"Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role\n>> in protecting were at the center of Altman's brief ouster from the company.\"...\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(ssl_verify: bool | str | None = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the OpenAPIServiceConnector instance\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `ssl_verify`: Decide if to use SSL verification to the requests or not,\nin case a string is passed, will be used as the CA.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(service_response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n service_openapi_spec: dict[str, Any],\n service_credentials: dict | str | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nProcesses a list of chat messages to invoke a method on an OpenAPI service.\n\nIt parses the last message in the list, expecting it to contain tool calls.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of `ChatMessage` objects containing the messages to be processed. The last message\nshould contain the tool calls.\n- `service_openapi_spec`: The OpenAPI JSON specification object of the service to be invoked.

The\nresponse is in JSON format, and the `content` attribute of the `ChatMessage` contains\nthe JSON string.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIServiceConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.22/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Converters\"\nid: converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module azure\n\n\n\n### AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

The SAS is computed using a pre-trained model from the Hugging Face model hub. The model can be either a\nBi-Encoder or a Cross-Encoder. The choice of the model is based on the `model` parameter.\n\nUsage example:\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.evaluators.sas_evaluator import SASEvaluator\n\nevaluator = SASEvaluator(model=\"cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2\")\nevaluator.warm_up()\nground_truths = [\n \"A construction budget of US $2.3 billion\",\n \"The Eiffel Tower, completed in 1889, symbolizes Paris's cultural magnificence.\",\n \"The Meiji Restoration in 1868 transformed Japan into a modernized world power.\",\n]\npredictions = [\n \"A construction budget of US $2.3 billion\",\n \"The Eiffel Tower, completed in 1889, symbolizes Paris's cultural magnificence.\",\n \"The Meiji Restoration in 1868 transformed Japan into a modernized world power.\",\n]\nresult = evaluator.run(\n ground_truths_answers=ground_truths, predicted_answers=predictions\n)\n\nprint(result[\"score\"])\n# 0.9999673763910929\n\nprint(result[\"individual_scores\"])\n# [0.9999765157699585, 0.999968409538269, 0.9999572038650513]\n```\n\n\n\n#### SASEvaluator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n model: str = \"sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2\",\n batch_size: int = 32,\n device: ComponentDevice | None = None,\n token: Secret = Secret.from_env_var([\"HF_API_TOKEN\", \"HF_TOKEN\"],\n strict=False))\n```\n\nCreates a new instance of SASEvaluator.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `model`: SentenceTransformers semantic textual similarity model, should be path or string pointing to a downloadable\nmodel.\n- `batch_size`: Number of prediction-label pairs to encode at once.\n- `device`: The device on which the model is loaded.

Image data and the prompt\nare passed together to the LLM as a chat message.\n\nDocuments for which the LLM fails to extract content are returned in a separate `failed_documents` list. These\nfailed documents will have a `content_extraction_error` entry in their metadata. This metadata can be used for\ndebugging or for reprocessing the documents later.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator()\nextractor = LLMDocumentContentExtractor(chat_generator=chat_generator)\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"image.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"document.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1}),\n]\nupdated_documents = extractor.run(documents=documents)[\"documents\"]\nprint(updated_documents)\n# [Document(content='Extracted text from image.jpg',\n# meta={'file_path': 'image.jpg'}),\n# ...]\n```\n\n\n\n#### LLMDocumentContentExtractor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n chat_generator: ChatGenerator,\n prompt: str = DEFAULT_PROMPT_TEMPLATE,\n file_path_meta_field: str = \"file_path\",\n root_path: str | None = None,\n detail: Literal[\"auto\", \"high\", \"low\"] | None = None,\n size: tuple[int, int] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = False,\n max_workers: int = 3)\n```\n\nInitialize the LLMDocumentContentExtractor component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generator`: A ChatGenerator instance representing the LLM used to extract text. This generator must\nsupport vision-based input and return a plain text response.\n- `prompt`: Instructional text provided to the LLM. It must not contain Jinja variables.\nThe prompt should only contain instructions on how to extract the content of the image-based document.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: The metadata field in the Document that contains the file path to the image or PDF.\n- `root_path`: The root directory path where document files are located. If provided, file paths in\ndocument metadata will be resolved relative to this path. If None, file paths are treated as absolute paths.\n- `detail`: Optional detail level of the image (only supported by OpenAI). Can be \"auto\", \"high\", or \"low\".\nThis will be passed to chat_generator when processing the images.\n- `size`: If provided, resizes the image to fit within the specified dimensions (width, height) while\nmaintaining aspect ratio. This reduces file size, memory usage, and processing time, which is beneficial\nwhen working with models that have resolution constraints or when transmitting images to remote services.\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, exceptions from the LLM are raised. If False, failed documents are logged\nand returned.\n- `max_workers`: Maximum number of threads used to parallelize LLM calls across documents using a\nThreadPoolExecutor.\n\n\n\n#### LLMDocumentContentExtractor.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the ChatGenerator if it has a warm_up method.\n\n\n\n#### LLMDocumentContentExtractor.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### LLMDocumentContentExtractor.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LLMDocumentContentExtractor\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn instance of the component.\n\n\n\n#### LLMDocumentContentExtractor.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(documents=list[Document],\n failed_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nRun content extraction on a list of image-based documents using a vision-capable LLM.\n\nEach document is passed to the LLM along with a predefined prompt. The response is used to update the document's\ncontent. If the extraction fails, the document is returned in the `failed_documents` list with metadata\ndescribing the failure.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of image-based documents to process. Each must have a valid file path in its metadata.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"documents\": Successfully processed documents, updated with extracted content.\n- \"failed_documents\": Documents that failed processing, annotated with failure metadata.\n\n\n\n## Module llm\\_metadata\\_extractor\n\n\n\n### LLMMetadataExtractor\n\nExtracts metadata from documents using a Large Language Model (LLM).\n\nThe metadata is extracted by providing a prompt to an LLM that generates the metadata.\n\nThis component expects as input a list of documents and a prompt. The prompt should have a variable called\n`document` that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So to access the content of the document,\nyou can use `{{ document.content }}` in the prompt.\n\nThe component will run the LLM on each document in the list and extract metadata from the document. The metadata\nwill be added to the document's metadata field. If the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, the document\nwill be added to the `failed_documents` list. The failed documents will have the keys `metadata_extraction_error` and\n`metadata_extraction_response` in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with another extractor to\nextract metadata by using the `metadata_extraction_response` and `metadata_extraction_error` in the prompt.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.llm_metadata_extractor import LLMMetadataExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nNER_PROMPT = '''\n-Goal-\nGiven text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.\n\n-Steps-\n1.

Can be:\n- A `Secret` object containing the API key.\n- A `Secret` object containing the [Azure Active Directory token](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/identity-access/microsoft-entra-id).\n- A function that returns an Azure Active Directory token.\n- `azure_endpoint`: The endpoint of the deployed model, for example `\"https://example-resource.azure.openai.com/\"`.\n- `azure_deployment`: The deployment of the model, usually the model name.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`. For help, see\n[Setting up your organization](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function called when a new token is received from the stream.\nIt accepts [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk)\nas an argument.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for OpenAI client calls. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent\ndirectly to the OpenAI endpoint.\nSee OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses) for\n more details.\n Some of the supported parameters:\n - `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random,\n while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.\n - `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n - `previous_response_id`: The ID of the previous response.\n Use this to create multi-turn conversations.\n - `text_format`: A Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n - `text`: A JSON schema that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n Notes:\n - Both JSON Schema and Pydantic models are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - If both are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and json schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n - Currently, this component doesn't support streaming for structured outputs.\n - Older models only support basic version of structured outputs through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`.\n For detailed information on JSON mode, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n - `reasoning`: A dictionary of parameters for reasoning. For example:\n - `summary`: The summary of the reasoning.\n - `effort`: The level of effort to put into the reasoning. Can be `low`, `medium` or `high`.\n - `generate_summary`: Whether to generate a summary of the reasoning.\n Note: OpenAI does not return the reasoning tokens, but we can view summary if its enabled.\n For details, see the [OpenAI Reasoning documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/reasoning).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str,\n Any]) -> \"AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI responses chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n *,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | list[dict] | None = None,\n tools_strict: bool | None = None) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nInvokes response generation based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation. These parameters will\noverride the parameters passed during component initialization.\nFor details on OpenAI API parameters, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create).\n- `tools`: The tools that the model can use to prepare calls. If set, it will override the\n`tools` parameter set during component initialization. This parameter can accept either a\nmixed list of Haystack `Tool` objects and Haystack `Toolset`. Or you can pass a dictionary of\nOpenAI/MCP tool definitions.\nNote: You cannot pass OpenAI/MCP tools and Haystack tools together.\nFor details on tool support, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses-create-tools).\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `False`, the model may not exactly\nfollow the schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition. In Response API, tool calls\nare strict by default.\nIf set, it will override the `tools_strict` parameter set during component initialization.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following key:\n- `replies`: A list containing the generated responses as ChatMessage instances.\n\n\n\n#### AzureOpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.run\\_async\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\nasync def run_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n *,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | list[dict] | None = None,\n tools_strict: bool | None = None) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nAsynchronously invokes response generation based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\nThis is the asynchronous version of the `run` method.

Falls back on any exception raised by a generator.\nIf all chat generators fail, it raises a RuntimeError with details.\n\nTimeout enforcement is fully delegated to the underlying chat generators. The fallback mechanism will only\nwork correctly if the underlying chat generators implement proper timeout handling and raise exceptions\nwhen timeouts occur. For predictable latency guarantees, ensure your chat generators:\n- Support a `timeout` parameter in their initialization\n- Implement timeout as total wall-clock time (shared deadline for both streaming and non-streaming)\n- Raise timeout exceptions (e.g., TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError, httpx.TimeoutException) when exceeded\n\nNote: Most well-implemented chat generators (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) support timeout parameters\nwith consistent semantics. For HTTP-based LLM providers, a single timeout value (e.g., `timeout=30`)\ntypically applies to all connection phases: connection setup, read, write, and pool. For streaming\nresponses, read timeout is the maximum gap between chunks. For non-streaming, it's the time limit for\nreceiving the complete response.\n\nFailover is automatically triggered when a generator raises any exception, including:\n- Timeout errors (if the generator implements and raises them)\n- Rate limit errors (429)\n- Authentication errors (401)\n- Context length errors (400)\n- Server errors (500+)\n- Any other exception\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(chat_generators: list[ChatGenerator]) -> None\n```\n\nCreates an instance of FallbackChatGenerator.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generators`: A non-empty list of chat generator components to try in order.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the component, including nested chat generators when they support serialization.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> FallbackChatGenerator\n```\n\nRebuild the component from a serialized representation, restoring nested chat generators.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nWarm up all underlying chat generators.\n\nThis method calls warm_up() on each underlying generator that supports it.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage] | dict[str, Any]]\n```\n\nExecute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\\_async\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\nasync def run_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage] | dict[str, Any]]\n```\n\nAsynchronously execute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n## Module chat/hugging\\_face\\_api\n\n\n\n### HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using Hugging Face APIs.\n\nHuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator uses the [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat for input and output.

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator())\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\"condition\": \"{{count > 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing many items\",\n \"output_name\": \"many_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n {\"condition\": \"{{count <= 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing few items\",\n \"output_name\": \"few_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", ConditionalRouter(routes))\n\n# Run with count > 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 10}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'many_items': 'Processing many items'}}\n\n# Run with count <= 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 3}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'few_items': 'Processing few items'}}\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: dict[str, Callable] | None = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: list[str] | None = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: str | None = None,\n file_path_meta_field: str | None = None,\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n## Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')\n# ]}\n# {'audio/.*': [\n# PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('document.pdf')\n# ]}\n```\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(mime_types: list[str],\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = False)\n```\n\nInitialize the FileTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"FileTypeRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(\n sources: list[str | Path | ByteStream],\n meta: dict[str, Any] | list[dict[str, Any]] | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ByteStream | Path]]\n```\n\nCategorize files or byte streams according to their MIME types.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `sources`: A list of file paths or byte streams to categorize.\n- `meta`: Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\nWhen provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\nThis value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\nIf it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\nIf it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\nTwo extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\nand `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n\n\n## Module llm\\_messages\\_router\n\n\n\n###

dataclasses\n- Basic types (str, int, float, bool, dict)\n- Lists of basic types\n- Automatic name generation from component class name\n- Description extraction from component docstrings\n\nTo use ComponentTool, you first need a Haystack component - either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, str | Callable[[Any], str]] | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, str | Callable]] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs should be converted into string(s).\nSupports two formats:\n\n1. Single output format - use \"source\" and/or \"handler\" at the root level:\n ```python\n {\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents\n }\n ```\n If the source is provided, only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\n If the source is omitted, the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\n\n2. Multiple output format - map keys to individual configurations:\n ```python\n {\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"summary_text\", \"handler\": str.upper}\n }\n ```\n Each key maps to a dictionary that can contain \"source\" and/or \"handler\".\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nPrepare the ComponentTool for use.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n## Module from\\_function\n\n\n\n#### create\\_tool\\_from\\_function\n\n```python\ndef create_tool_from_function(\n function: Callable,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None) -> \"Tool\"\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a function.\n\nAllows customizing the Tool name and description.\nFor simpler use cases, consider using the `@tool` decorator.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated, Literal\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\ndef get_weather(\n city: Annotated[str, \"the city for which to get the weather\"] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[Literal[\"Celsius\", \"Fahrenheit\"], \"the unit for the temperature\"] = \"Celsius\"):\n '''A simple function to get the current weather for a location.'''\n return f\"Weather report for {city}: 20 {unit}, sunny\"\n\ntool = create_tool_from_function(get_weather)\n\nprint(tool)\n>>> Tool(name='get_weather', description='A simple function to get the current weather for a location.',\n>>> parameters={\n>>> 'type': 'object',\n>>> 'properties': {\n>>> 'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'the city for which to get the weather', 'default': 'Munich'},\n>>> 'unit': {\n>>> 'type': 'string',\n>>> 'enum': ['Celsius', 'Fahrenheit'],\n>>> 'description': 'the unit for the temperature',\n>>> 'default': 'Celsius',\n>>> },\n>>> }\n>>> },\n>>> function=)\n```\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `function`: The function to be converted into a Tool.\nThe function must include type hints for all parameters.\nThe function is expected to have basic python input types (str, int, float, bool, list, dict, tuple).\nOther input types may work but are not guaranteed.\nIf a parameter is annotated using `typing.Annotated`, its metadata will be used as parameter description.\n- `name`: The name of the Tool. If not provided, the name of the function will be used.\n- `description`: The description of the Tool.

Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n \n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n \n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n \n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n \n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Toolset for use.\n\nBy default, this method iterates through and warms up all tools in the Toolset.\nSubclasses can override this method to customize initialization behavior, such as:\n\n- Setting up shared resources (database connections, HTTP sessions) instead of\n warming individual tools\n- Implementing custom initialization logic for dynamically loaded tools\n- Controlling when and how tools are initialized\n\nFor example, a Toolset that manages tools from an external service (like MCPToolset)\nmight override this to initialize a shared connection rather than warming up\nindividual tools:\n\n```python\nclass MCPToolset(Toolset):\n def warm_up(self) -> None:\n # Only warm up the shared MCP connection, not individual tools\n self.mcp_connection = establish_connection(self.server_url)\n```\n\nThis method should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization. Failing to serialize the descriptor may\nlead to issues where outdated or incorrect Tool configurations are loaded, potentially causing errors or\nunexpected behavior.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nDeserialize a Toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset instance\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\", list[Tool]]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nConcatenate this Toolset with another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `other`: Another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools to concatenate\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TypeError`: If the other parameter is not a Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools\n- `ValueError`: If the combination would result in duplicate tool names\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset containing all tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__() -> int\n```\n\nReturn the number of Tools in this Toolset.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nNumber of Tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a Tool by index.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `index`: Index of the Tool to get\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe Tool at the specified index\n\n\n\n### \\_ToolsetWrapper\n\nA wrapper that holds multiple toolsets and provides a unified interface.\n\nThis is used internally when combining different types of toolsets to preserve\ntheir individual configurations while still being usable with ToolInvoker.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__()\n```\n\nIterate over all tools from all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item)\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in any of the toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__()\n```\n\nReturn total number of tools across all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a tool by index across all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other)\n```\n\nAdd another toolset or tool to this wrapper.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n \n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n## Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n### Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n## Module jupyter\n\n\n\n#### is\\_in\\_jupyter\n\n```python\ndef is_in_jupyter() -> bool\n```\n\nReturns `True` if in Jupyter or Google Colab, `False` otherwise.\n\n\n\n## Module misc\n\n\n\n#### expand\\_page\\_range\n\n```python\ndef expand_page_range(page_range: list[str | int]) -> list[int]\n```\n\nTakes a list of page numbers and ranges and expands them into a list of page numbers.\n\nFor example, given a page_range=['1-3', '5', '8', '10-12'] the function will return [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12]\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `page_range`: List of page numbers and ranges\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn expanded list of page integers\n\n\n\n#### expit\n\n```python\ndef expit(x: float | ndarray[Any, Any]) -> float | ndarray[Any, Any]\n```\n\nCompute logistic sigmoid function. Maps input values to a range between 0 and 1\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `x`: input value. Can be a scalar or a numpy array.\n\n\n\n## Module requests\\_utils\n\n\n\n#### request\\_with\\_retry\n\n```python\ndef request_with_retry(attempts: int = 3,\n status_codes_to_retry: list[int] | None

The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation. The model must be available in Amazon Bedrock and must\n be specified in the format outlined in the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids-arns.html).\n- **aws_access_key_id** (Secret | None) – AWS access key ID.\n- **aws_secret_access_key** (Secret | None) – AWS secret access key.\n- **aws_session_token** (Secret | None) – AWS session token.\n- **aws_region_name** (Secret | None) – AWS region name.

These parameters are specific to a model.\n You can find the model specific arguments in the AWS Bedrock API\n [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-parameters.html).\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – A callback function called when a new token is received from the stream.\n By default, the model is not set up for streaming. To enable streaming, set this parameter to a callback\n function that handles the streaming chunks. The callback function receives a\n [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk) object and switches\n the streaming mode on.\n- **boto3_config** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – The configuration for the boto3 client.\n- **tools** (ToolsType | None) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n Each tool should have a unique name.\n- **guardrail_config** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional configuration for a guardrail that has been created in Amazon Bedrock.\n This must be provided as a dictionary matching either\n [GuardrailConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_GuardrailConfiguration.html).\n or, in streaming mode (when `streaming_callback` is set),\n [GuardrailStreamConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_GuardrailStreamConfiguration.html).\n If `trace` is set to `enabled`, the guardrail trace will be included under the `trace` key in the `meta`\n attribute of the resulting `ChatMessage`.\n Note: Enabling guardrails in streaming mode may introduce additional latency.\n To manage this, you can adjust the `streamProcessingMode` parameter.\n See the\n [Guardrails Streaming documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails-streaming.html)\n for more information.\n- **tools_cachepoint_config** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional configuration to use prompt caching for tools.\n The dictionary must match the\n [CachePointBlock schema](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_CachePointBlock.html).\n Example: `{\"type\": \"default\", \"ttl\": \"5m\"}`\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the model name is empty or None.\n- AmazonBedrockConfigurationError – If the AWS environment is not configured correctly or the model is\n not supported.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- AmazonBedrockChatGenerator – Instance of `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator`.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nExecutes a synchronous inference call to the Amazon Bedrock model using the Converse API.\n\nSupports both standard and streaming responses depending on whether a streaming callback is provided.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects forming the chat history.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – Optional callback for handling streaming outputs.\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary of generation parameters. Some common parameters are:\n- `maxTokens`: Maximum number of tokens to generate.\n- `stopSequences`: List of stop sequences to stop generation.\n- `temperature`: Sampling temperature.\n- `topP`: Nucleus sampling parameter.\n- **tools** (ToolsType | None) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n Each tool should have a unique name.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[ChatMessage\\]\\] – A dictionary containing the model-generated replies under the `\"replies\"` key.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- AmazonBedrockInferenceError – If the Bedrock inference API call fails.\n\n#### run_async\n\n```python\nrun_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nExecutes an asynchronous inference call to the Amazon Bedrock model using the Converse API.\n\nDesigned for use cases where non-blocking or concurrent execution is desired.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects forming the chat history.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – Optional async-compatible callback for handling streaming outputs.\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary of generation parameters.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.22/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.22/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nmsg = \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize.

The component looks for Jinja2 template syntax and\nrenders the prompt with the provided variables. Provide the template in either\nthe `init` method` or the `run` method.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to ChatPromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(template: list[ChatMessage] | str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables with pipeline kwargs.\nTo overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nTo overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional list of `ChatMessage` objects or string template to overwrite ChatPromptBuilder's default\ntemplate.\nIf `None`, the default template provided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `chat_messages` is empty or contains elements that are not instances of `ChatMessage`.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated list of `ChatMessage` objects after rendering the templates.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ChatPromptBuilder\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize and create the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: list[str] | Literal[\"*\"] | None = None,\n variables: list[str] | None = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.23/haystack-api/cachings_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Caching\"\nid: caching-api\ndescription: \"Checks if any document coming from the given URL is already present in the store.\"\nslug: \"/caching-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module cache\\_checker\n\n\n\n### CacheChecker\n\nChecks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified field in each document's metadata.\n\nIf matching documents are found, they are returned as \"hits\".

It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\n**Example**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\n**Notes**:\n\n - The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n - The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Secret | None = None,\n service_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `openapi_spec`: URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- `credentials`: Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- `service_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\nFor example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(operation_id: str,\n arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `operation_id`: The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- `arguments`: Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing the service response\n\n\n\n## Module openapi\\_service\n\n\n\n### OpenAPIServiceConnector\n\nA component which connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services.\n\nThe `OpenAPIServiceConnector` component connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services, enabling it to call\noperations as defined in the OpenAPI specification of the service.\n\nIt integrates with `ChatMessage` dataclass, where the payload in messages is used to determine the method to be\ncalled and the parameters to be passed. The message payload should be an OpenAI JSON formatted function calling\nstring consisting of the method name and the parameters to be passed to the method. The method name and parameters\nare then used to invoke the method on the OpenAPI service. The response from the service is returned as a\n`ChatMessage`.\n\nBefore using this component, users usually resolve service endpoint parameters with a help of\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component.\n\nThe example below demonstrates how to use the `OpenAPIServiceConnector` to invoke a method on a https://serper.dev/\nservice specified via OpenAPI specification.\n\nNote, however, that `OpenAPIServiceConnector` is usually not meant to be used directly, but rather as part of a\npipeline that includes the `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component and an `OpenAIChatGenerator` component using LLM\nwith the function calling capabilities. In the example below we use the function calling payload directly, but in a\nreal-world scenario, the function calling payload would usually be generated by the `OpenAIChatGenerator` component.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nfc_payload = [{'function': {'arguments': '{\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"}', 'name': 'search'},\n 'id': 'call_PmEBYvZ7mGrQP5PUASA5m9wO', 'type': 'function'}]\n\nserper_token = \nserperdev_openapi_spec = json.loads(requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text)\nservice_connector = OpenAPIServiceConnector()\nresult = service_connector.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_assistant(json.dumps(fc_payload))],\n service_openapi_spec=serperdev_openapi_spec, service_credentials=serper_token)\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'service_response': [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text=\n>> '{\"searchParameters\": {\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\",\n>> \"type\": \"search\", \"engine\": \"google\"}, \"answerBox\": {\"snippet\": \"Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role\n>> in protecting were at the center of Altman's brief ouster from the company.\"...\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(ssl_verify: bool | str | None = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the OpenAPIServiceConnector instance\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `ssl_verify`: Decide if to use SSL verification to the requests or not,\nin case a string is passed, will be used as the CA.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(service_response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n service_openapi_spec: dict[str, Any],\n service_credentials: dict | str | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nProcesses a list of chat messages to invoke a method on an OpenAPI service.\n\nIt parses the last message in the list, expecting it to contain tool calls.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of `ChatMessage` objects containing the messages to be processed. The last message\nshould contain the tool calls.\n- `service_openapi_spec`: The OpenAPI JSON specification object of the service to be invoked.

The\nresponse is in JSON format, and the `content` attribute of the `ChatMessage` contains\nthe JSON string.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIServiceConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.23/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Converters\"\nid: converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module azure\n\n\n\n### AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

Falls back on any exception raised by a generator.\nIf all chat generators fail, it raises a RuntimeError with details.\n\nTimeout enforcement is fully delegated to the underlying chat generators. The fallback mechanism will only\nwork correctly if the underlying chat generators implement proper timeout handling and raise exceptions\nwhen timeouts occur. For predictable latency guarantees, ensure your chat generators:\n- Support a `timeout` parameter in their initialization\n- Implement timeout as total wall-clock time (shared deadline for both streaming and non-streaming)\n- Raise timeout exceptions (e.g., TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError, httpx.TimeoutException) when exceeded\n\nNote: Most well-implemented chat generators (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) support timeout parameters\nwith consistent semantics. For HTTP-based LLM providers, a single timeout value (e.g., `timeout=30`)\ntypically applies to all connection phases: connection setup, read, write, and pool. For streaming\nresponses, read timeout is the maximum gap between chunks. For non-streaming, it's the time limit for\nreceiving the complete response.\n\nFailover is automatically triggered when a generator raises any exception, including:\n- Timeout errors (if the generator implements and raises them)\n- Rate limit errors (429)\n- Authentication errors (401)\n- Context length errors (400)\n- Server errors (500+)\n- Any other exception\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(chat_generators: list[ChatGenerator]) -> None\n```\n\nCreates an instance of FallbackChatGenerator.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generators`: A non-empty list of chat generator components to try in order.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the component, including nested chat generators when they support serialization.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> FallbackChatGenerator\n```\n\nRebuild the component from a serialized representation, restoring nested chat generators.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nWarm up all underlying chat generators.\n\nThis method calls warm_up() on each underlying generator that supports it.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage] | dict[str, Any]]\n```\n\nExecute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\\_async\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\nasync def run_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage] | dict[str, Any]]\n```\n\nAsynchronously execute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n## Module chat/hugging\\_face\\_api\n\n\n\n### HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using Hugging Face APIs.\n\nHuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator uses the [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat for input and output.

See\n[production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent directly to\nthe OpenAI endpoint. See OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) for\nmore details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_completion_tokens`: An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion,\n including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

It uses [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat in input and output.\n\nYou can customize how the text is generated by passing parameters to the\nOpenAI API. Use the `**generation_kwargs` argument when you initialize\nthe component or when you run it. Any parameter that works with\n`openai.Responses.create` will work here too.\n\nFor details on OpenAI API parameters, see\n[OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses).\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"low\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}})\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n api_key: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"),\n model: str = \"gpt-5-mini\",\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n api_base_url: str | None = None,\n organization: str | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n timeout: float | None = None,\n max_retries: int | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | list[dict] | None = None,\n tools_strict: bool = False,\n http_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None)\n```\n\nCreates an instance of OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator. Uses OpenAI's gpt-5-mini by default.\n\nBefore initializing the component, you can set the 'OPENAI_TIMEOUT' and 'OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES'\nenvironment variables to override the `timeout` and `max_retries` parameters respectively\nin the OpenAI client.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `api_key`: The OpenAI API key.\nYou can set it with an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or pass with this parameter\nduring initialization.\n- `model`: The name of the model to use.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\nThe callback function accepts [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk)\nas an argument.\n- `api_base_url`: An optional base URL.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`. See\n[production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent\ndirectly to the OpenAI endpoint.\nSee OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses) for\n more details.\n Some of the supported parameters:\n - `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random,\n while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.\n - `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n - `previous_response_id`: The ID of the previous response.\n Use this to create multi-turn conversations.\n - `text_format`: A Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n - `text`: A JSON schema that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n Notes:\n - Both JSON Schema and Pydantic models are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - If both are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and json schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n - Currently, this component doesn't support streaming for structured outputs.\n - Older models only support basic version of structured outputs through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`.\n For detailed information on JSON mode, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n - `reasoning`: A dictionary of parameters for reasoning.

If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: The tools that the model can use to prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nmixed list of Haystack `Tool` objects and Haystack `Toolset`. Or you can pass a dictionary of\nOpenAI/MCP tool definitions.\nNote: You cannot pass OpenAI/MCP tools and Haystack tools together.\nFor details on tool support, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses-create-tools).\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `False`, the model may not exactly\nfollow the schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition. In Response API, tool calls\nare strict by default.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI responses chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n *,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | list[dict] | None = None,\n tools_strict: bool | None = None) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nInvokes response generation based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation.

See OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) for\nmore details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_completion_tokens`: An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion,\n including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens. The keys of the dictionary are tokens, and the\n values are the bias to add to that token.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for OpenAI Client calls, if not set it is inferred from the `OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable\nor set to 30.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum retries to establish contact with OpenAI if it returns an internal error, if not set it is inferred\nfrom the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[str], meta=list[dict[str, Any]])\ndef run(\n prompt: str,\n system_prompt: str | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[str] | list[dict[str, Any]]]\n```\n\nInvoke the text generation inference based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `prompt`: The string prompt to use for text generation.\n- `system_prompt`: The system prompt to use for text generation.

This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator())\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

The 'lambda_threshold' controls the\n trade-off between relevance and diversity.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker\n\nranker = SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker(model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\", similarity=\"cosine\", strategy=\"greedy_diversity_order\")\nranker.warm_up()\n\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\nquery = \"What is the capital of germany?\"\noutput = ranker.run(query=query, documents=docs)\ndocs = output[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n\n\n#### SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(model: str = \"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n device: ComponentDevice | None = None,\n token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"HF_API_TOKEN\", \"HF_TOKEN\"], strict=False),\n similarity: str | DiversityRankingSimilarity = \"cosine\",\n query_prefix: str = \"\",\n query_suffix: str = \"\",\n document_prefix: str = \"\",\n document_suffix: str = \"\",\n meta_fields_to_embed: list[str] | None = None,\n embedding_separator: str = \"\\n\",\n strategy: str\n | DiversityRankingStrategy = \"greedy_diversity_order\",\n lambda_threshold: float = 0.5,\n model_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tokenizer_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n config_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n backend: Literal[\"torch\", \"onnx\", \"openvino\"] = \"torch\")\n```\n\nInitialize a SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `model`: Local path or name of the model in Hugging Face's model hub,\nsuch as `'sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2'`.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Documents to return per query.\n- `device`: The device on which the model is loaded.

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\"condition\": \"{{count > 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing many items\",\n \"output_name\": \"many_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n {\"condition\": \"{{count <= 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing few items\",\n \"output_name\": \"few_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", ConditionalRouter(routes))\n\n# Run with count > 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 10}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'many_items': 'Processing many items'}}\n\n# Run with count <= 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 3}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'few_items': 'Processing few items'}}\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: dict[str, Callable] | None = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: list[str] | None = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: str | None = None,\n file_path_meta_field: str | None = None,\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n## Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types\nrouter_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r\"audio/.*\", r\"text/plain\"])\n\nsources = [Path(\"file.txt\"), Path(\"document.pdf\"), Path(\"song.mp3\")]\nprint(router.run(sources=sources))\nprint(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))\n\n# Expected output:\n# {'text/plain': [\n# PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf':

[PosixPath('document.pdf')\n# ]}\n```\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(mime_types: list[str],\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = False)\n```\n\nInitialize the FileTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"FileTypeRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize

categorize.\n- `meta`: Optional metadata to attach to the sources.\nWhen provided, the sources are internally converted to ByteStream objects and the metadata is added.\nThis value can be a list of dictionaries or a single dictionary.\nIf it's a single dictionary, its content is added to the metadata of all ByteStream objects.\nIf it's a list, its length must match the number of sources, as they are zipped together.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types and the values are lists of data sources.\nTwo extra keys may be returned: `\"unclassified\"` when a source's MIME type doesn't match any pattern\nand `\"failed\"` when a source cannot be processed (for example, a file path that doesn't exist).\n\n\n\n## Module llm\\_messages\\_router\n\n\n\n###

LLMs.\n\nComponentTool automatically generates LLM-compatible tool schemas from component input sockets,\nwhich are derived from the component's `run` method signature and type hints.\n\n\nKey features:\n- Automatic LLM tool calling schema generation from component input sockets\n- Type conversion and validation for component inputs\n- Support for types:\n- Dataclasses\n- Lists of dataclasses\n- Basic types (str, int, float, bool, dict)\n- Lists of basic types\n- Automatic name generation from component class name\n- Description extraction from component docstrings\n\nTo use ComponentTool, you first need a Haystack component - either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, str | Callable[[Any], str]] | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, str | Callable]] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs should be converted into string(s) or results.\nIf not provided, the tool result is converted to a string using a default handler.\n\n`outputs_to_string` supports two formats:\n\n1. Single output format - use \"source\", \"handler\", and/or \"raw_result\" at the root level:\n ```python\n {\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents, \"raw_result\": False\n }\n ```\n - `source`: If provided, only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\n - `handler`: A function that takes the tool output (or the extracted source value) and returns the\n final result.\n - `raw_result`: If `True`, the result is returned raw without string conversion, but applying the\n `handler` if provided. This is intended for tools that return images. In this mode, the Tool\n function or the `handler` function must return a list of `TextContent`/`ImageContent` objects to\n ensure compatibility with Chat Generators.\n\n2. Multiple output format - map keys to individual configurations:\n ```python\n {\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"summary_text\", \"handler\": str.upper}\n }\n ```\n Each key maps to a dictionary that can contain \"source\" and/or \"handler\".\n Note that `raw_result` is not supported in the multiple output format.\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nPrepare the ComponentTool for use.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n## Module from\\_function\n\n\n\n#### create\\_tool\\_from\\_function\n\n```python\ndef create_tool_from_function(\n function: Callable,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> \"Tool\"\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a function.\n\nAllows customizing the Tool name and description.\nFor simpler use cases, consider using the `@tool` decorator.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated, Literal\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\ndef get_weather(\n city: Annotated[str, \"the city for which to get the weather\"] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[Literal[\"Celsius\", \"Fahrenheit\"], \"the unit for the temperature\"] = \"Celsius\"):\n '''A simple function to get the current weather for a location.'''\n return f\"Weather report for {city}: 20 {unit}, sunny\"\n\ntool = create_tool_from_function(get_weather)\n\nprint(tool)\n>>> Tool(name='get_weather', description='A simple function to get the current weather for a location.',\n>>> parameters={\n>>> 'type': 'object',\n>>> 'properties': {\n>>> 'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'the city for which to get the weather', 'default': 'Munich'},\n>>> 'unit': {\n>>> 'type': 'string',\n>>> 'enum': ['Celsius', 'Fahrenheit'],\n>>> 'description': 'the unit for the temperature',\n>>> 'default': 'Celsius',\n>>> },\n>>> }\n>>> },\n>>> function=)\n```\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `function`: The function to be converted into a Tool.\nThe function must include type hints for all parameters.\nThe function is expected to have basic python input types (str, int, float, bool, list, dict, tuple).\nOther input types may work but are not guaranteed.\nIf a parameter is annotated using `typing.Annotated`, its metadata will be used as parameter description.\n- `name`: The name of the Tool.

This method should be idempotent,\nas it may be called multiple times.\n\n\n\n#### Tool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n#### Tool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the Tool to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### Tool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"Tool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the Tool from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDeserialized Tool.\n\n\n\n## Module toolset\n\n\n\n### Toolset\n\nA collection of related Tools that can be used and managed as a cohesive unit.\n\nToolset serves two main purposes:\n\n1. Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n \n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n \n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n \n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n \n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Toolset for use.\n\nBy default, this method iterates through and warms up all tools in the Toolset.\nSubclasses can override this method to customize initialization behavior, such as:\n\n- Setting up shared resources (database connections, HTTP sessions) instead of\n warming individual tools\n- Implementing custom initialization logic for dynamically loaded tools\n- Controlling when and how tools are initialized\n\nFor example, a Toolset that manages tools from an external service (like MCPToolset)\nmight override this to initialize a shared connection rather than warming up\nindividual tools:\n\n```python\nclass MCPToolset(Toolset):\n def warm_up(self) -> None:\n # Only warm up the shared MCP connection, not individual tools\n self.mcp_connection = establish_connection(self.server_url)\n```\n\nThis method should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization. Failing to serialize the descriptor may\nlead to issues where outdated or incorrect Tool configurations are loaded, potentially causing errors or\nunexpected behavior.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nDeserialize a Toolset from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: Dictionary representation of the Toolset\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset instance\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\", list[Tool]]) -> \"Toolset\"\n```\n\nConcatenate this Toolset with another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `other`: Another Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools to concatenate\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TypeError`: If the other parameter is not a Tool, Toolset, or list of Tools\n- `ValueError`: If the combination would result in duplicate tool names\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA new Toolset containing all tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__() -> int\n```\n\nReturn the number of Tools in this Toolset.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nNumber of Tools\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a Tool by index.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `index`: Index of the Tool to get\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe Tool at the specified index\n\n\n\n### \\_ToolsetWrapper\n\nA wrapper that holds multiple toolsets and provides a unified interface.\n\nThis is used internally when combining different types of toolsets to preserve\ntheir individual configurations while still being usable with ToolInvoker.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__()\n```\n\nIterate over all tools from all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item)\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in any of the toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_len\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __len__()\n```\n\nReturn total number of tools across all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_getitem\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __getitem__(index)\n```\n\nGet a tool by index across all toolsets.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_add\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __add__(other)\n```\n\nAdd another toolset or tool to this wrapper.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### \\_ToolsetWrapper.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n \n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n## Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n### Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n## Module jupyter\n\n\n\n#### is\\_in\\_jupyter\n\n```python\ndef is_in_jupyter() -> bool\n```\n\nReturns `True` if in Jupyter or Google Colab, `False` otherwise.\n\n\n\n## Module misc\n\n\n\n#### expand\\_page\\_range\n\n```python\ndef expand_page_range(page_range: list[str | int]) -> list[int]\n```\n\nTakes a list of page numbers and ranges and expands them into a list of page numbers.\n\nFor example, given a page_range=['1-3', '5', '8', '10-12'] the function will return [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12]\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `page_range`: List of page numbers and ranges\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn expanded list of page integers\n\n\n\n#### expit\n\n```python\ndef expit(x: float | ndarray[Any, Any]) -> float | ndarray[Any, Any]\n```\n\nCompute logistic sigmoid function. Maps input values to a range between 0 and 1\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `x`: input value.

haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock.chat.chat_generator\n\n### AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using LLMs hosted on Amazon Bedrock available via the Bedrock Converse API.\n\nFor example, to use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model, initialize this component with the\n'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0' model name.\n\n**Usage example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.components.generators.utils import print_streaming_chunk\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_system(\"\\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant, answer in German only\"),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\n\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n streaming_callback=print_streaming_chunk)\nclient.run(messages, generation_kwargs={\"max_tokens\": 512})\n```\n\n**Multimodal example**\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage, ImageContent\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ngenerator = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\")\n\nimage_content = ImageContent.from_file_path(file_path=\"apple.jpg\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(content_parts=[\"Describe the image using 10 words at most.\", image_content])\n\nresponse = generator.run(messages=[message])[\"replies\"][0].text\n\nprint(response)\n> The image shows a red apple.\n```\n\n**Tool usage example**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator supports Haystack's unified tool architecture, allowing tools to be used\nacross different chat generators. The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.23/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.23/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

an exit condition.\nYou can set one or more exit conditions to control when it stops.\nFor example, it can stop after generating a response or after calling a tool.\n\nWithout tools, the Agent works like a standard LLM that generates text. It produces one response and then stops.\n\n### Usage examples\n\nThis is an example agent that:\n1. Searches for tipping customs in France.\n2. Uses a calculator to compute tips based on its findings.\n3. Returns the final answer with its context.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.agents import Agent\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\n\n# Tool functions - in practice, these would have real implementations\ndef search(query: str) -> str:\n '''Search for information on the web.'''\n # Placeholder: would call actual search API\n return \"In France, a 15% service charge is typically included, but leaving 5-10% extra is appreciated.\"\n\ndef calculator(operation: str, a: float, b: float) -> float:\n '''Perform mathematical calculations.'''\n if operation == \"multiply\":\n return a * b\n elif operation == \"percentage\":\n return (a / 100) * b\n return 0\n\n# Define tools with JSON Schema\ntools = [\n Tool(\n name=\"search\",\n description=\"Searches for information on the web\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"query\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"description\": \"The search query\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"query\"]\n },\n function=search\n ),\n Tool(\n name=\"calculator\",\n description=\"Performs mathematical calculations\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"operation\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"description\": \"Operation: multiply, percentage\"},\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"number\", \"description\": \"First number\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"number\", \"description\": \"Second number\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"operation\", \"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=calculator\n )\n]\n\n# Create and run the agent\nagent = Agent(\n chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(),\n tools=tools\n)\n\nresult = agent.run(\n messages=[ChatMessage.from_user(\"Calculate the appropriate tip for an €85 meal in France\")]\n)\n\nprint(result[\"messages\"][-1].text)\n```\n\n\n\n#### Agent.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n *,\n chat_generator: ChatGenerator,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n system_prompt: str | None = None,\n exit_conditions: list[str] | None = None,\n state_schema: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n max_agent_steps: int = 100,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n raise_on_tool_invocation_failure: bool = False,\n tool_invoker_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n confirmation_strategies: dict[str, ConfirmationStrategy] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the agent component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generator`: An instance of the chat generator that your agent should use.

Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n\nmsg = \"Translate to {{ target_language }} and summarize.

The component looks for Jinja2 template syntax and\nrenders the prompt with the provided variables. Provide the template in either\nthe `init` method` or the `run` method.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to ChatPromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(template: list[ChatMessage] | str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables with pipeline kwargs.\nTo overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nTo overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional list of `ChatMessage` objects or string template to overwrite ChatPromptBuilder's default\ntemplate.\nIf `None`, the default template provided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `chat_messages` is empty or contains elements that are not instances of `ChatMessage`.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated list of `ChatMessage` objects after rendering the templates.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### ChatPromptBuilder.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ChatPromptBuilder\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize and create the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n## Module prompt\\_builder\n\n\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(template: str,\n required_variables: list[str] | Literal[\"*\"] | None = None,\n variables: list[str] | None = None)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables. For example:\n`\"Summarize this document: {{ documents[0].content }}\\nSummary:\"`\nIt's used to render the prompt.\nThe variables in the default template are input for PromptBuilder and are all optional,\nunless explicitly specified.\nIf an optional variable is not provided, it's replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\n- `required_variables`: List variables that must be provided as input to PromptBuilder.\nIf a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\nIf set to \"*\", all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- `variables`: List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n`template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\nin the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nSerialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n\n\n#### PromptBuilder.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(prompt=str)\ndef run(template: str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs)\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables via pipeline kwargs.\nIn order to overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nIn order to overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `template`: An optional string template to overwrite PromptBuilder's default template. If None, the default template\nprovided at initialization is used.\n- `template_variables`: An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- `kwargs`: Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If any of the required template variables is not provided.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated prompt text after rendering the prompt template.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.24/haystack-api/cachings_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Caching\"\nid: caching-api\ndescription: \"Checks if any document coming from the given URL is already present in the store.\"\nslug: \"/caching-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module cache\\_checker\n\n\n\n### CacheChecker\n\nChecks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified field in each document's metadata.\n\nIf matching documents are found, they are returned as \"hits\".

It is usually invoked by passing input\narguments to it from a Haystack pipeline run method or by other components in a pipeline that\npass input arguments to this component.\n\n**Example**:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.connectors.openapi import OpenAPIConnector\n\nconnector = OpenAPIConnector(\n openapi_spec=\"https://bit.ly/serperdev_openapi\",\n credentials=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"),\n service_kwargs={\"config_factory\": my_custom_config_factory}\n)\nresponse = connector.run(\n operation_id=\"search\",\n arguments={\"q\": \"Who was Nikola Tesla?\"}\n)\n```\n\n**Notes**:\n\n - The `parameters` argument is required for this component.\n - The `service_kwargs` argument is optional, it can be used to pass additional options to the OpenAPIClient.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(openapi_spec: str,\n credentials: Secret | None = None,\n service_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None)\n```\n\nInitialize the OpenAPIConnector with a specification and optional credentials.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `openapi_spec`: URL, file path, or raw string of the OpenAPI specification\n- `credentials`: Optional API key or credentials for the service wrapped in a Secret\n- `service_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to OpenAPIClient.from_spec()\nFor example, you can pass a custom config_factory or other configuration options.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(operation_id: str,\n arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nInvokes a REST endpoint specified in the OpenAPI specification.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `operation_id`: The operationId from the OpenAPI spec to invoke\n- `arguments`: Optional parameters for the endpoint (query, path, or body parameters)\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary containing the service response\n\n\n\n## Module openapi\\_service\n\n\n\n### OpenAPIServiceConnector\n\nA component which connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services.\n\nThe `OpenAPIServiceConnector` component connects the Haystack framework to OpenAPI services, enabling it to call\noperations as defined in the OpenAPI specification of the service.\n\nIt integrates with `ChatMessage` dataclass, where the payload in messages is used to determine the method to be\ncalled and the parameters to be passed. The message payload should be an OpenAI JSON formatted function calling\nstring consisting of the method name and the parameters to be passed to the method. The method name and parameters\nare then used to invoke the method on the OpenAPI service. The response from the service is returned as a\n`ChatMessage`.\n\nBefore using this component, users usually resolve service endpoint parameters with a help of\n`OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component.\n\nThe example below demonstrates how to use the `OpenAPIServiceConnector` to invoke a method on a https://serper.dev/\nservice specified via OpenAPI specification.\n\nNote, however, that `OpenAPIServiceConnector` is usually not meant to be used directly, but rather as part of a\npipeline that includes the `OpenAPIServiceToFunctions` component and an `OpenAIChatGenerator` component using LLM\nwith the function calling capabilities. In the example below we use the function calling payload directly, but in a\nreal-world scenario, the function calling payload would usually be generated by the `OpenAIChatGenerator` component.\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nfrom haystack.components.connectors import OpenAPIServiceConnector\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n\nfc_payload = [{'function': {'arguments': '{\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\"}', 'name': 'search'},\n 'id': 'call_PmEBYvZ7mGrQP5PUASA5m9wO', 'type': 'function'}]\n\nserper_token = \nserperdev_openapi_spec = json.loads(requests.get(\"https://bit.ly/serper_dev_spec\").text)\nservice_connector = OpenAPIServiceConnector()\nresult = service_connector.run(messages=[ChatMessage.from_assistant(json.dumps(fc_payload))],\n service_openapi_spec=serperdev_openapi_spec, service_credentials=serper_token)\nprint(result)\n\n>> {'service_response': [ChatMessage(_role=, _content=[TextContent(text=\n>> '{\"searchParameters\": {\"q\": \"Why was Sam Altman ousted from OpenAI?\",\n>> \"type\": \"search\", \"engine\": \"google\"}, \"answerBox\": {\"snippet\": \"Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role\n>> in protecting were at the center of Altman's brief ouster from the company.\"...\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(ssl_verify: bool | str | None = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the OpenAPIServiceConnector instance\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `ssl_verify`: Decide if to use SSL verification to the requests or not,\nin case a string is passed, will be used as the CA.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(service_response=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n service_openapi_spec: dict[str, Any],\n service_credentials: dict | str | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nProcesses a list of chat messages to invoke a method on an OpenAPI service.\n\nIt parses the last message in the list, expecting it to contain tool calls.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of `ChatMessage` objects containing the messages to be processed. The last message\nshould contain the tool calls.\n- `service_openapi_spec`: The OpenAPI JSON specification object of the service to be invoked.

The\nresponse is in JSON format, and the `content` attribute of the `ChatMessage` contains\nthe JSON string.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAPIServiceConnector.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAPIServiceConnector\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.24/haystack-api/converters_api.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"Converters\"\nid: converters-api\ndescription: \"Various converters to transform data from one format to another.\"\nslug: \"/converters-api\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module azure\n\n\n\n### AzureOCRDocumentConverter\n\nConverts files to documents using Azure's Document Intelligence service.\n\nSupported file formats are: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and HTML.\n\nTo use this component, you need an active Azure account\nand a Document Intelligence or Cognitive Services resource.

Image data and the prompt\nare passed together to the LLM as a chat message.\n\nDocuments for which the LLM fails to extract content are returned in a separate `failed_documents` list. These\nfailed documents will have a `content_extraction_error` entry in their metadata. This metadata can be used for\ndebugging or for reprocessing the documents later.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor\nchat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator()\nextractor = LLMDocumentContentExtractor(chat_generator=chat_generator)\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"image.jpg\"}),\n Document(content=\"\", meta={\"file_path\": \"document.pdf\", \"page_number\": 1}),\n]\nupdated_documents = extractor.run(documents=documents)[\"documents\"]\nprint(updated_documents)\n# [Document(content='Extracted text from image.jpg',\n# meta={'file_path': 'image.jpg'}),\n# ...]\n```\n\n\n\n#### LLMDocumentContentExtractor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n chat_generator: ChatGenerator,\n prompt: str = DEFAULT_PROMPT_TEMPLATE,\n file_path_meta_field: str = \"file_path\",\n root_path: str | None = None,\n detail: Literal[\"auto\", \"high\", \"low\"] | None = None,\n size: tuple[int, int] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = False,\n max_workers: int = 3)\n```\n\nInitialize the LLMDocumentContentExtractor component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generator`: A ChatGenerator instance representing the LLM used to extract text. This generator must\nsupport vision-based input and return a plain text response.\n- `prompt`: Instructional text provided to the LLM. It must not contain Jinja variables.\nThe prompt should only contain instructions on how to extract the content of the image-based document.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: The metadata field in the Document that contains the file path to the image or PDF.\n- `root_path`: The root directory path where document files are located. If provided, file paths in\ndocument metadata will be resolved relative to this path. If None, file paths are treated as absolute paths.\n- `detail`: Optional detail level of the image (only supported by OpenAI). Can be \"auto\", \"high\", or \"low\".\nThis will be passed to chat_generator when processing the images.\n- `size`: If provided, resizes the image to fit within the specified dimensions (width, height) while\nmaintaining aspect ratio. This reduces file size, memory usage, and processing time, which is beneficial\nwhen working with models that have resolution constraints or when transmitting images to remote services.\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, exceptions from the LLM are raised.

The prompt should have a variable called\n`document` that will point to a single document in the list of documents. So to access the content of the document,\nyou can use `{{ document.content }}` in the prompt.\n\nThe component will run the LLM on each document in the list and extract metadata from the document. The metadata\nwill be added to the document's metadata field. If the LLM fails to extract metadata from a document, the document\nwill be added to the `failed_documents` list. The failed documents will have the keys `metadata_extraction_error` and\n`metadata_extraction_response` in their metadata. These documents can be re-run with another extractor to\nextract metadata by using the `metadata_extraction_response` and `metadata_extraction_error` in the prompt.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.extractors.llm_metadata_extractor import LLMMetadataExtractor\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\n\nNER_PROMPT = '''\n-Goal-\nGiven text and a list of entity types, identify all entities of those types from the text.\n\n-Steps-\n1.

Falls back on any exception raised by a generator.\nIf all chat generators fail, it raises a RuntimeError with details.\n\nTimeout enforcement is fully delegated to the underlying chat generators. The fallback mechanism will only\nwork correctly if the underlying chat generators implement proper timeout handling and raise exceptions\nwhen timeouts occur. For predictable latency guarantees, ensure your chat generators:\n- Support a `timeout` parameter in their initialization\n- Implement timeout as total wall-clock time (shared deadline for both streaming and non-streaming)\n- Raise timeout exceptions (e.g., TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError, httpx.TimeoutException) when exceeded\n\nNote: Most well-implemented chat generators (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) support timeout parameters\nwith consistent semantics. For HTTP-based LLM providers, a single timeout value (e.g., `timeout=30`)\ntypically applies to all connection phases: connection setup, read, write, and pool. For streaming\nresponses, read timeout is the maximum gap between chunks. For non-streaming, it's the time limit for\nreceiving the complete response.\n\nFailover is automatically triggered when a generator raises any exception, including:\n- Timeout errors (if the generator implements and raises them)\n- Rate limit errors (429)\n- Authentication errors (401)\n- Context length errors (400)\n- Server errors (500+)\n- Any other exception\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(chat_generators: list[ChatGenerator]) -> None\n```\n\nCreates an instance of FallbackChatGenerator.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `chat_generators`: A non-empty list of chat generator components to try in order.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the component, including nested chat generators when they support serialization.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> FallbackChatGenerator\n```\n\nRebuild the component from a serialized representation, restoring nested chat generators.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nWarm up all underlying chat generators.\n\nThis method calls warm_up() on each underlying generator that supports it.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\ndef run(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage] | dict[str, Any]]\n```\n\nExecute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n#### FallbackChatGenerator.run\\_async\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage], meta=dict[str, Any])\nasync def run_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage] | dict[str, Any]]\n```\n\nAsynchronously execute chat generators sequentially until one succeeds.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: The conversation history as a list of ChatMessage instances.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Optional parameters for the chat generator (e.g., temperature, max_tokens).\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for function calling capabilities.\n- `streaming_callback`: Optional callable for handling streaming responses.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `RuntimeError`: If all chat generators fail.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with:\n- \"replies\": Generated ChatMessage instances from the first successful generator.\n- \"meta\": Execution metadata including successful_chat_generator_index, successful_chat_generator_class,\n total_attempts, failed_chat_generators, plus any metadata from the successful generator.\n\n\n\n## Module chat/hugging\\_face\\_api\n\n\n\n### HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator\n\nCompletes chats using Hugging Face APIs.\n\nHuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator uses the [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat for input and output.

See\n[production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent directly to\nthe OpenAI endpoint. See OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) for\nmore details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_completion_tokens`: An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion,\n including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens.

It uses [ChatMessage](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/chatmessage)\nformat in input and output.\n\nYou can customize how the text is generated by passing parameters to the\nOpenAI API. Use the `**generation_kwargs` argument when you initialize\nthe component or when you run it. Any parameter that works with\n`openai.Responses.create` will work here too.\n\nFor details on OpenAI API parameters, see\n[OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses).\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's Natural Language Processing?\")]\n\nclient = OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator(generation_kwargs={\"reasoning\": {\"effort\": \"low\", \"summary\": \"auto\"}})\nresponse = client.run(messages)\nprint(response)\n```\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n api_key: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\"),\n model: str = \"gpt-5-mini\",\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n api_base_url: str | None = None,\n organization: str | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n timeout: float | None = None,\n max_retries: int | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | list[dict] | None = None,\n tools_strict: bool = False,\n http_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None)\n```\n\nCreates an instance of OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator. Uses OpenAI's gpt-5-mini by default.\n\nBefore initializing the component, you can set the 'OPENAI_TIMEOUT' and 'OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES'\nenvironment variables to override the `timeout` and `max_retries` parameters respectively\nin the OpenAI client.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `api_key`: The OpenAI API key.\nYou can set it with an environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or pass with this parameter\nduring initialization.\n- `model`: The name of the model to use.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\nThe callback function accepts [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk)\nas an argument.\n- `api_base_url`: An optional base URL.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`. See\n[production best practices](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/production-best-practices/setting-up-your-organization).\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are sent\ndirectly to the OpenAI endpoint.\nSee OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses) for\n more details.\n Some of the supported parameters:\n - `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random,\n while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.\n - `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n - `previous_response_id`: The ID of the previous response.\n Use this to create multi-turn conversations.\n - `text_format`: A Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n - `text`: A JSON schema that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n Notes:\n - Both JSON Schema and Pydantic models are supported for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - If both are provided, `text_format` takes precedence and json schema passed to `text` is ignored.\n - Currently, this component doesn't support streaming for structured outputs.\n - Older models only support basic version of structured outputs through `{\"type\": \"json_object\"}`.\n For detailed information on JSON mode, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs#json-mode).\n - `reasoning`: A dictionary of parameters for reasoning.

If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `tools`: The tools that the model can use to prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nmixed list of Haystack `Tool` objects and Haystack `Toolset`. Or you can pass a dictionary of\nOpenAI/MCP tool definitions.\nNote: You cannot pass OpenAI/MCP tools and Haystack tools together.\nFor details on tool support, see [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses-create-tools).\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `False`, the model may not exactly\nfollow the schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition. In Response API, tool calls\nare strict by default.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nWarm up the OpenAI responses chat generator.\n\nThis will warm up the tools registered in the chat generator.\nThis method is idempotent and will only warm up the tools once.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIResponsesChatGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[ChatMessage])\ndef run(messages: list[ChatMessage],\n *,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | list[dict] | None = None,\n tools_strict: bool | None = None) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nInvokes response generation based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `messages`: A list of ChatMessage instances representing the input messages.\n- `streaming_callback`: A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments for text generation.

See OpenAI [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) for\nmore details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_completion_tokens`: An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion,\n including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So, 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `n`: How many completions to generate for each prompt. For example, if the LLM gets 3 prompts and n is 2,\n it will generate two completions for each of the three prompts, ending up with 6 completions in total.\n- `stop`: One or more sequences after which the LLM should stop generating tokens.\n- `presence_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token is already present at all. Bigger values mean\n the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `frequency_penalty`: What penalty to apply if a token has already been generated in the text.\n Bigger values mean the model will be less likely to repeat the same token in the text.\n- `logit_bias`: Add a logit bias to specific tokens. The keys of the dictionary are tokens, and the\n values are the bias to add to that token.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for OpenAI Client calls, if not set it is inferred from the `OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable\nor set to 30.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum retries to establish contact with OpenAI if it returns an internal error, if not set it is inferred\nfrom the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"OpenAIGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n\n\n#### OpenAIGenerator.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(replies=list[str], meta=list[dict[str, Any]])\ndef run(\n prompt: str,\n system_prompt: str | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None\n) -> dict[str, list[str] | list[dict[str, Any]]]\n```\n\nInvoke the text generation inference based on the provided messages and generation parameters.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `prompt`: The string prompt to use for text generation.\n- `system_prompt`: The system prompt to use for text generation.

This is useful for scenarios where multiple branches need to converge before proceeding.\n\n### Common Use Cases:\n- **Loop Handling:** `BranchJoiner` helps close loops in pipelines. For example, if a pipeline component validates\n or modifies incoming data and produces an error-handling branch, `BranchJoiner` can merge both branches and send\n (or resend in the case of a loop) the data to the component that evaluates errors. See \"Usage example\" below.\n\n- **Decision-Based Merging:** `BranchJoiner` reconciles branches coming from Router components (such as\n `ConditionalRouter`, `TextLanguageRouter`). Suppose a `TextLanguageRouter` directs user queries to different\n Retrievers based on the detected language. Each Retriever processes its assigned query and passes the results\n to `BranchJoiner`, which consolidates them into a single output before passing them to the next component, such\n as a `PromptBuilder`.\n\n### Example Usage:\n```python\nimport json\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.converters import OutputAdapter\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.joiners import BranchJoiner\nfrom haystack.components.validators import JsonSchemaValidator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Define a schema for validation\nperson_schema = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"first_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"last_name\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"pattern\": \"^[A-Z][a-z]+$\"},\n \"nationality\": {\"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"Italian\", \"Portuguese\", \"American\"]},\n },\n \"required\": [\"first_name\", \"last_name\", \"nationality\"]\n}\n\n# Initialize a pipeline\npipe = Pipeline()\n\n# Add components to the pipeline\npipe.add_component('joiner', BranchJoiner(list[ChatMessage]))\npipe.add_component('generator', OpenAIChatGenerator())\npipe.add_component('validator', JsonSchemaValidator(json_schema=person_schema))\npipe.add_component('adapter', OutputAdapter(\"{{chat_message}}\", list[ChatMessage], unsafe=True))\n\n# And connect them\npipe.connect(\"adapter\", \"joiner\")\npipe.connect(\"joiner\", \"generator\")\npipe.connect(\"generator.replies\", \"validator.messages\")\npipe.connect(\"validator.validation_error\", \"joiner\")\n\nresult = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"generator\": {\"generation_kwargs\": {\"response_format\": {\"type\": \"json_object\"}}},\n \"adapter\": {\"chat_message\": [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Create json from Peter Parker\")]}}\n)\n\nprint(json.loads(result[\"validator\"][\"validated\"][0].text))\n\n\n>> {'first_name': 'Peter', 'last_name': 'Parker', 'nationality': 'American', 'name': 'Spider-Man', 'occupation':\n>> 'Superhero', 'age': 23, 'location': 'New York City'}\n```\n\nNote that `BranchJoiner` can manage only one data type at a time. In this case, `BranchJoiner` is created for\npassing `list[ChatMessage]`. This determines the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will receive from the upstream\nconnected components and also the type of data that `BranchJoiner` will send through its output.\n\nIn the code example, `BranchJoiner` receives a looped back `list[ChatMessage]` from the `JsonSchemaValidator` and\nsends it down to the `OpenAIChatGenerator` for re-generation. We can have multiple loopback connections in the\npipeline. In this instance, the downstream component is only one (the `OpenAIChatGenerator`), but the pipeline could\nhave more than one downstream component.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(type_: type)\n```\n\nCreates a `BranchJoiner` component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `type_`: The expected data type of inputs and outputs.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component into a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"BranchJoiner\"\n```\n\nDeserializes a `BranchJoiner` instance from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary containing serialized component data.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA deserialized `BranchJoiner` instance.\n\n\n\n#### BranchJoiner.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs) -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nExecutes the `BranchJoiner`, selecting the first available input value and passing it downstream.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `**kwargs`: The input data.

Greedy Diversity Order:\n\n Implements a document ranking algorithm that orders documents in a way that maximizes the overall diversity\n of the documents based on their similarity to the query.\n\n It uses a pre-trained Sentence Transformers model to embed the query and\n the documents.\n\n2. Maximum Margin Relevance:\n\n Implements a document ranking algorithm that orders documents based on their Maximum Margin Relevance (MMR)\n scores.\n\n MMR scores are calculated for each document based on their relevance to the query and diversity from already\n selected documents. The algorithm iteratively selects documents based on their MMR scores, balancing between\n relevance to the query and diversity from already selected documents. The 'lambda_threshold' controls the\n trade-off between relevance and diversity.\n\nBefore ranking, documents are deduplicated by their id, retaining only the document with the highest score\nif a score is present.\n\n### Usage example\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.rankers import SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker\n\nranker = SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker(model=\"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\", similarity=\"cosine\", strategy=\"greedy_diversity_order\")\nranker.warm_up()\n\ndocs = [Document(content=\"Paris\"), Document(content=\"Berlin\")]\nquery = \"What is the capital of germany?\"\noutput = ranker.run(query=query, documents=docs)\ndocs = output[\"documents\"]\n```\n\n\n\n#### SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(model: str = \"sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n device: ComponentDevice | None = None,\n token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"HF_API_TOKEN\", \"HF_TOKEN\"], strict=False),\n similarity: str | DiversityRankingSimilarity = \"cosine\",\n query_prefix: str = \"\",\n query_suffix: str = \"\",\n document_prefix: str = \"\",\n document_suffix: str = \"\",\n meta_fields_to_embed: list[str] | None = None,\n embedding_separator: str = \"\\n\",\n strategy: str\n | DiversityRankingStrategy = \"greedy_diversity_order\",\n lambda_threshold: float = 0.5,\n model_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tokenizer_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n config_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n backend: Literal[\"torch\", \"onnx\", \"openvino\"] = \"torch\")\n```\n\nInitialize a SentenceTransformersDiversityRanker.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `model`: Local path or name of the model in Hugging Face's model hub,\nsuch as `'sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2'`.\n- `top_k`: The maximum number of Documents to return per query.\n- `device`: The device on which the model is loaded.

During retrieval, if the number of matched leaf documents below the same parent is\nhigher than a defined threshold, the retriever will return the parent document instead of the individual leaf\ndocuments.\n\nThe rational is, given that a paragraph is split into multiple chunks represented as leaf documents, and if for\na given query, multiple chunks are matched, the whole paragraph might be more informative than the individual\nchunks alone.\n\nCurrently the AutoMergingRetriever can only be used by the following DocumentStores:\n- [AstraDB](https://haystack.deepset.ai/integrations/astradb)\n- [ElasticSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/elasticsearch)\n- [OpenSearch](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/opensearch)\n- [PGVector](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/pgvector)\n- [Qdrant](https://haystack.deepset.ai/docs/latest/documentstore/qdrant)\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack.components.preprocessors import HierarchicalDocumentSplitter\nfrom haystack.components.retrievers.auto_merging_retriever import AutoMergingRetriever\nfrom haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore\n\n# create a hierarchical document structure with 3 levels, where the parent document has 3 children\ntext = \"The sun rose early in the morning.

Each route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length > 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"enough_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{streams|length <= 2}}\",\n \"output\": \"{{streams}}\",\n \"output_name\": \"insufficient_streams\",\n \"output_type\": list[int],\n },\n]\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes)\n# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]\nkwargs = {\"streams\": [1, 2, 3], \"query\": \"Haystack\"}\nresult = router.run(**kwargs)\nassert result == {\"enough_streams\": [1, 2, 3]}\n```\n\nIn this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the\nstream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there\nare two or fewer streams.\n\nIn the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example,\n'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while\n'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.\n\n\nHere is a pipeline that uses `ConditionalRouter` and routes the fetched `ByteStreams` to\ndifferent components depending on the number of streams fetched:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\"condition\": \"{{count > 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing many items\",\n \"output_name\": \"many_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n {\"condition\": \"{{count <= 5}}\",\n \"output\": \"Processing few items\",\n \"output_name\": \"few_items\",\n \"output_type\": str,\n },\n]\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", ConditionalRouter(routes))\n\n# Run with count > 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 10}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'many_items': 'Processing many items'}}\n\n# Run with count <= 5\nresult = pipe.run({\"router\": {\"count\": 3}})\nprint(result)\n# >> {'router': {'few_items': 'Processing few items'}}\n```\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(routes: list[Route],\n custom_filters: dict[str, Callable] | None = None,\n unsafe: bool = False,\n validate_output_type: bool = False,\n optional_variables: list[str] | None = None)\n```\n\nInitializes the `ConditionalRouter` with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `routes`: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route.\nEach route has these four elements:\n- `condition`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.\n- `output`: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.\n- `output_type`: The type of the output data (for example, `str`, `list[int]`).\n- `output_name`: The name you want to use to publish `output`. This name is used to connect\nthe router to other components in the pipeline.\n- `custom_filters`: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions.\nFor example, passing `{\"my_filter\": my_filter_fcn}` where:\n- `my_filter` is the name of the custom filter.\n- `my_filter_fcn` is a callable that takes `my_var:str` and returns `my_var[:3]`.\n `{{ my_var|my_filter }}` can then be used inside a route condition expression:\n `\"condition\": \"{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}\"`.\n- `unsafe`: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template.\nThis should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.\n- `validate_output_type`: Enable validation of routes' output.\nIf a route output doesn't match the declared type a ValueError is raised running.\n- `optional_variables`: A list of variable names that are optional in your route conditions and outputs.\nIf these variables are not provided at runtime, they will be set to `None`.\nThis allows you to write routes that can handle missing inputs gracefully without raising errors.\n\nExample usage with a default fallback route in a Pipeline:\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter\n\nroutes = [\n {\n \"condition\": '{{ path == \"rag\" }}',\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"rag_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n },\n {\n \"condition\": \"{{ True }}\", # fallback route\n \"output\": \"{{ question }}\",\n \"output_name\": \"default_route\",\n \"output_type\": str\n }\n]\n\nrouter = ConditionalRouter(routes, optional_variables=[\"path\"])\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"router\", router)\n\n# When 'path' is provided in the pipeline:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\", \"path\": \"rag\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"rag_route\": \"What?\"}\n\n# When 'path' is not provided, fallback route is taken:\nresult = pipe.run(data={\"router\": {\"question\": \"What?\"}})\nassert result[\"router\"] == {\"default_route\": \"What?\"}\n```\n\nThis pattern is particularly useful when:\n- You want to provide default/fallback behavior when certain inputs are missing\n- Some variables are only needed for specific routing conditions\n- You're building flexible pipelines where not all inputs are guaranteed to be present\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nDictionary with serialized data.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ConditionalRouter\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary to deserialize from.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component.\n\n\n\n#### ConditionalRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(**kwargs)\n```\n\nExecutes the routing logic.\n\nExecutes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the\norder they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose\n`condition` is True.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `kwargs`: All variables used in the `condition` expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a\npipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `NoRouteSelectedException`: If no `condition' in the routes is `True`.\n- `RouteConditionException`: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the `condition` expression in the routes.\n- `ValueError`: If type validation is enabled and route type doesn't match actual value type.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the key is the `output_name` of the selected route and the value is the `output`\nof the selected route.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_length\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentLengthRouter\n\nCategorizes documents based on the length of the `content` field and routes them to the appropriate output.\n\nA common use case for DocumentLengthRouter is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text\ncontent, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to\ncomponents that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Short\"),\n Document(content=\"Long document \"*20),\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n\n# {\n# \"short_documents\": [Document(content=\"Short\", ...)],\n# \"long_documents\": [Document(content=\"Long document ...\", ...)],\n# }\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*, threshold: int = 10) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentLengthRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `threshold`: The threshold for the number of characters in the document `content` field. Documents where `content` is\nNone or whose character count is less than or equal to the threshold will be routed to the `short_documents`\noutput. Otherwise, they will be routed to the `long_documents` output.\nTo route only documents with None content to `short_documents`, set the threshold to a negative number.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentLengthRouter.run\n\n```python\n@component.output_types(short_documents=list[Document],\n long_documents=list[Document])\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on the length of the `content` field.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary with the following keys:\n- `short_documents`: A list of documents where `content` is None or the length of `content` is less than or\n equal to the threshold.\n- `long_documents`: A list of documents where the length of `content` is greater than the threshold.\n\n\n\n## Module document\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### DocumentTypeRouter\n\nRoutes documents by their MIME types.\n\nDocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types.\nIt supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns.\n\nMIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or\nuser-supplied MIME type mappings.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import Document\n\ndocs = [\n Document(content=\"Example text\", meta={\"file_path\": \"example.txt\"}),\n Document(content=\"Another document\", meta={\"mime_type\": \"application/pdf\"}),\n Document(content=\"Unknown type\")\n]\n\nrouter = DocumentTypeRouter(\n mime_type_meta_field=\"mime_type\",\n file_path_meta_field=\"file_path\",\n mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"]\n)\n\nresult = router.run(documents=docs)\nprint(result)\n```\n\nExpected output:\n```python\n{\n \"text/plain\": [Document(...)],\n \"application/pdf\": [Document(...)],\n \"unclassified\": [Document(...)]\n}\n```\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(*,\n mime_types: list[str],\n mime_type_meta_field: str | None = None,\n file_path_meta_field: str | None = None,\n additional_mimetypes: dict[str, str] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the DocumentTypeRouter component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `mime_types`: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input documents.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `mime_type_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the MIME type.\n- `file_path_meta_field`: Optional name of the metadata field that holds the file path. Used to infer the MIME type if\n`mime_type_meta_field` is not provided or missing in a document.\n- `additional_mimetypes`: Optional dictionary mapping MIME types to file extensions to enhance or override the standard\n`mimetypes` module. Useful when working with uncommon or custom file types.\nFor example: `{\"application/vnd.custom-type\": \".custom\"}`.\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If `mime_types` is empty or if both `mime_type_meta_field` and `file_path_meta_field` are\nnot provided.\n\n\n\n#### DocumentTypeRouter.run\n\n```python\ndef run(documents: list[Document]) -> dict[str, list[Document]]\n```\n\nCategorize input documents into groups based on their MIME type.\n\nMIME types can either be directly available in document metadata or derived from file paths using the\nstandard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `documents`: A list of documents to be categorized.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or `\"unclassified\"`) and the values are lists of documents.\n\n\n\n## Module file\\_type\\_router\n\n\n\n### FileTypeRouter\n\nCategorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.\n\nFileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.\n\nFor file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata.\nYou can use regex patterns in the `mime_types` parameter to set broad categories\n(such as 'audio/*' or 'text/*') or specific types.\nMIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n# For exact MIME type matching\nrouter = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[\"text/plain\", \"application/pdf\"])\n\n# For

streams.\n(for example: `[\"text/plain\", \"audio/x-wav\", \"image/jpeg\"]`).\n- `additional_mimetypes`: A dictionary containing the MIME type to add to the mimetypes package to prevent unsupported or non-native\npackages from being unclassified.\n(for example: `{\"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\": \".docx\"}`).\n- `raise_on_failure`: If True, raises FileNotFoundError when a file path doesn't exist.\nIf False (default), only emits a warning when a file path doesn't exist.\n\n\n\n#### FileTypeRouter.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() ->

LLMs.\n\nComponentTool automatically generates LLM-compatible tool schemas from component input sockets,\nwhich are derived from the component's `run` method signature and type hints.\n\n\nKey features:\n- Automatic LLM tool calling schema generation from component input sockets\n- Type conversion and validation for component inputs\n- Support for types:\n- Dataclasses\n- Lists of dataclasses\n- Basic types (str, int, float, bool, dict)\n- Lists of basic types\n- Automatic name generation from component class name\n- Description extraction from component docstrings\n\nTo use ComponentTool, you first need a Haystack component - either an existing one or a new one you create.\nYou can create a ComponentTool from the component by passing the component to the ComponentTool constructor.\nBelow is an example of creating a ComponentTool from an existing SerperDevWebSearch component.\n\n## Usage Example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import component, Pipeline\nfrom haystack.tools import ComponentTool\nfrom haystack.components.websearch import SerperDevWebSearch\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.tools.tool_invoker import ToolInvoker\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\n\n# Create a SerperDev search component\nsearch = SerperDevWebSearch(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"SERPERDEV_API_KEY\"), top_k=3)\n\n# Create a tool from the component\ntool = ComponentTool(\n component=search,\n name=\"web_search\", # Optional: defaults to \"serper_dev_web_search\"\n description=\"Search the web for current information on any topic\" # Optional: defaults to component docstring\n)\n\n# Create pipeline with OpenAIChatGenerator and ToolInvoker\npipeline = Pipeline()\npipeline.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(tools=[tool]))\npipeline.add_component(\"tool_invoker\", ToolInvoker(tools=[tool]))\n\n# Connect components\npipeline.connect(\"llm.replies\", \"tool_invoker.messages\")\n\nmessage = ChatMessage.from_user(\"Use the web search tool to find information about Nikola Tesla\")\n\n# Run pipeline\nresult = pipeline.run({\"llm\": {\"messages\": [message]}})\n\nprint(result)\n```\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(\n component: Component,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n *,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, str | Callable[[Any], str]] | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, str | Callable]] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a Haystack component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `component`: The Haystack component to wrap as a tool.\n- `name`: Optional name for the tool (defaults to snake_case of component class name).\n- `description`: Optional description (defaults to component's docstring).\n- `parameters`: A JSON schema defining the parameters expected by the Tool.\nWill fall back to the parameters defined in the component's run method signature if not provided.\n- `outputs_to_string`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs should be converted into string(s) or results.\nIf not provided, the tool result is converted to a string using a default handler.\n\n`outputs_to_string` supports two formats:\n\n1. Single output format - use \"source\", \"handler\", and/or \"raw_result\" at the root level:\n ```python\n {\n \"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents, \"raw_result\": False\n }\n ```\n - `source`: If provided, only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\n - `handler`: A function that takes the tool output (or the extracted source value) and returns the\n final result.\n - `raw_result`: If `True`, the result is returned raw without string conversion, but applying the\n `handler` if provided. This is intended for tools that return images. In this mode, the Tool\n function or the `handler` function must return a list of `TextContent`/`ImageContent` objects to\n ensure compatibility with Chat Generators.\n\n2. Multiple output format - map keys to individual configurations:\n ```python\n {\n \"formatted_docs\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": format_documents},\n \"summary\": {\"source\": \"summary_text\", \"handler\": str.upper}\n }\n ```\n Each key maps to a dictionary that can contain \"source\" and/or \"handler\".\n Note that `raw_result` is not supported in the multiple output format.\n- `inputs_from_state`: Optional dictionary mapping state keys to tool parameter names.\nExample: `{\"repository\": \"repo\"}` maps state's \"repository\" to tool's \"repo\" parameter.\n- `outputs_to_state`: Optional dictionary defining how tool outputs map to keys within state as well as optional handlers.\nIf the source is provided only the specified output key is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"source\": \"docs\", \"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\nIf the source is omitted the whole tool result is sent to the handler.\nExample:\n```python\n{\n \"documents\": {\"handler\": custom_handler}\n}\n```\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the component is invalid or schema generation fails.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up()\n```\n\nPrepare the ComponentTool for use.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the ComponentTool to a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"ComponentTool\"\n```\n\nDeserializes the ComponentTool from a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.tool\\_spec\n\n```python\n@property\ndef tool_spec() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturn the Tool specification to be used by the Language Model.\n\n\n\n#### ComponentTool.invoke\n\n```python\ndef invoke(**kwargs: Any) -> Any\n```\n\nInvoke the Tool with the provided keyword arguments.\n\n\n\n## Module from\\_function\n\n\n\n#### create\\_tool\\_from\\_function\n\n```python\ndef create_tool_from_function(\n function: Callable,\n name: str | None = None,\n description: str | None = None,\n inputs_from_state: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n outputs_to_state: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None,\n outputs_to_string: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> \"Tool\"\n```\n\nCreate a Tool instance from a function.\n\nAllows customizing the Tool name and description.\nFor simpler use cases, consider using the `@tool` decorator.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom typing import Annotated, Literal\nfrom haystack.tools import create_tool_from_function\n\ndef get_weather(\n city: Annotated[str, \"the city for which to get the weather\"] = \"Munich\",\n unit: Annotated[Literal[\"Celsius\", \"Fahrenheit\"], \"the unit for the temperature\"] = \"Celsius\"):\n '''A simple function to get the current weather for a location.'''\n return f\"Weather report for {city}: 20 {unit}, sunny\"\n\ntool = create_tool_from_function(get_weather)\n\nprint(tool)\n>>> Tool(name='get_weather', description='A simple function to get the current weather for a location.',\n>>> parameters={\n>>> 'type': 'object',\n>>> 'properties': {\n>>> 'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'the city for which to get the weather', 'default': 'Munich'},\n>>> 'unit': {\n>>> 'type': 'string',\n>>> 'enum': ['Celsius', 'Fahrenheit'],\n>>> 'description': 'the unit for the temperature',\n>>> 'default': 'Celsius',\n>>> },\n>>> }\n>>> },\n>>> function=)\n```\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `function`: The function to be converted into a Tool.\nThe function must include type hints for all parameters.\nThe function is expected to have basic python input types (str, int, float, bool, list, dict, tuple).\nOther input types may work but are not guaranteed.\nIf a parameter is annotated using `typing.Annotated`, its metadata will be used as parameter description.\n- `name`: The name of the Tool.

Group related tools together:\nToolset allows you to organize related tools into a single collection, making it easier\nto manage and use them as a unit in Haystack pipelines.\n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n # Define math functions\n def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a + b\n\n def subtract_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:\n return a - b\n\n # Create tools with proper schemas\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=add_numbers\n )\n\n subtract_tool = Tool(\n name=\"subtract\",\n description=\"Subtract b from a\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"},\n \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}\n },\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"]\n },\n function=subtract_numbers\n )\n\n # Create a toolset with the math tools\n math_toolset = Toolset([add_tool, subtract_tool])\n\n # Use the toolset with a ToolInvoker or ChatGenerator component\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=math_toolset)\n ```\n \n 2. Base class for dynamic tool loading:\n By subclassing Toolset, you can create implementations that dynamically load tools\n from external sources like OpenAPI URLs, MCP servers, or other resources.\n \n\n**Example**:\n\n ```python\n from haystack.core.serialization import generate_qualified_class_name\n from haystack.tools import Tool, Toolset\n from haystack.components.tools import ToolInvoker\n\n class CalculatorToolset(Toolset):\n '''A toolset for calculator operations.'''\n\n def __init__(self):\n tools = self._create_tools()\n super().__init__(tools)\n\n def _create_tools(self):\n # These Tool instances are obviously defined statically and for illustration purposes only.\n # In a real-world scenario, you would dynamically load tools from an external source here.\n tools = []\n add_tool = Tool(\n name=\"add\",\n description=\"Add two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a + b,\n )\n\n multiply_tool = Tool(\n name=\"multiply\",\n description=\"Multiply two numbers\",\n parameters={\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"a\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}, \"b\": {\"type\": \"integer\"}},\n \"required\": [\"a\", \"b\"],\n },\n function=lambda a, b: a * b,\n )\n\n tools.append(add_tool)\n tools.append(multiply_tool)\n\n return tools\n\n def to_dict(self):\n return {\n \"type\": generate_qualified_class_name(type(self)),\n \"data\": {}, # no data to serialize as we define the tools dynamically\n }\n\n @classmethod\n def from_dict(cls, data):\n return cls() # Recreate the tools dynamically during deserialization\n\n # Create the dynamic toolset and use it with ToolInvoker\n calculator_toolset = CalculatorToolset()\n invoker = ToolInvoker(tools=calculator_toolset)\n ```\n \n Toolset implements the collection interface (__iter__, __contains__, __len__, __getitem__),\n making it behave like a list of Tools. This makes it compatible with components that expect\n iterable tools, such as ToolInvoker or Haystack chat generators.\n \n When implementing a custom Toolset subclass for dynamic tool loading:\n - Perform the dynamic loading in the __init__ method\n - Override to_dict() and from_dict() methods if your tools are defined dynamically\n - Serialize endpoint descriptors rather than tool instances if your tools\n are loaded from external sources\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_post\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __post_init__()\n```\n\nValidate and set up the toolset after initialization.\n\nThis handles the case when tools are provided during initialization.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_iter\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __iter__() -> Iterator[Tool]\n```\n\nReturn an iterator over the Tools in this Toolset.\n\nThis allows the Toolset to be used wherever a list of Tools is expected.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn iterator yielding Tool instances\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.\\_\\_contains\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __contains__(item: Any) -> bool\n```\n\nCheck if a tool is in this Toolset.\n\nSupports checking by:\n- Tool instance: tool in toolset\n- Tool name: \"tool_name\" in toolset\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `item`: Tool instance or tool name string\n\n**Returns**:\n\nTrue if contained, False otherwise\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.warm\\_up\n\n```python\ndef warm_up() -> None\n```\n\nPrepare the Toolset for use.\n\nBy default, this method iterates through and warms up all tools in the Toolset.\nSubclasses can override this method to customize initialization behavior, such as:\n\n- Setting up shared resources (database connections, HTTP sessions) instead of\n warming individual tools\n- Implementing custom initialization logic for dynamically loaded tools\n- Controlling when and how tools are initialized\n\nFor example, a Toolset that manages tools from an external service (like MCPToolset)\nmight override this to initialize a shared connection rather than warming up\nindividual tools:\n\n```python\nclass MCPToolset(Toolset):\n def warm_up(self) -> None:\n # Only warm up the shared MCP connection, not individual tools\n self.mcp_connection = establish_connection(self.server_url)\n```\n\nThis method should be idempotent, as it may be called multiple times.\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.add\n\n```python\ndef add(tool: Union[Tool, \"Toolset\"]) -> None\n```\n\nAdd a new Tool or merge another Toolset.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `tool`: A Tool instance or another Toolset to add\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If adding the tool would result in duplicate tool names\n- `TypeError`: If the provided object is not a Tool or Toolset\n\n\n\n#### Toolset.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize the Toolset to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA dictionary representation of the Toolset\nNote for subclass implementers:\nThe default implementation is ideal for scenarios where Tool resolution is static. However, if your subclass\nof Toolset dynamically resolves Tool instances from external sources—such as an MCP server, OpenAPI URL, or\na local OpenAPI specification—you should consider serializing the endpoint descriptor instead of the Tool\ninstances themselves. This strategy preserves the dynamic nature of your Toolset and minimizes the overhead\nassociated with serializing potentially large collections of Tool objects. Moreover, by serializing the\ndescriptor, you ensure that the deserialization process can accurately reconstruct the Tool instances, even\nif they have been modified or removed since the last serialization.

You like to talk with {{user_name}}.\n{% endmessage %}\n\n{% message role=\"user\" %}\nHello! I am {{user_name}}. Please describe the images.\n{% for image in images %}\n{{ image | templatize_part }}\n{% endfor %}\n{% endmessage %}\n```\n \n ### How it works\n 1. The `{% message %}` tag is used to define a chat message.\n 2. The message can contain text and other structured content parts.\n 3. To include a structured content part in the message, the `| templatize_part` filter is used.\n The filter serializes the content part into a JSON string and wraps it in a `` tag.\n 4. The `_build_chat_message_json` method of the extension parses the message content parts,\n converts them into a ChatMessage object and serializes it to a JSON string.\n 5. The obtained JSON string is usable in the ChatPromptBuilder component, where templates are rendered to actual\n ChatMessage objects.\n\n\n\n#### ChatMessageExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the message tag and its attributes in the Jinja2 template.\n\nThis method handles the parsing of role (mandatory), name (optional), meta (optional) and message body content.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The Jinja2 parser instance\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TemplateSyntaxError`: If an invalid role is provided\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA CallBlock node containing the parsed message configuration\n\n\n\n#### templatize\\_part\n\n```python\ndef templatize_part(value: ChatMessageContentT) -> str\n```\n\nJinja filter to convert an ChatMessageContentT object into JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `value`: The ChatMessageContentT object to convert\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `ValueError`: If the value is not an instance of ChatMessageContentT\n\n**Returns**:\n\nA JSON string wrapped in special XML content tags\n\n\n\n## Module jinja2\\_extensions\n\n\n\n### Jinja2TimeExtension\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(environment: Environment)\n```\n\nInitializes the JinjaTimeExtension object.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `environment`: The Jinja2 environment to initialize the extension with.\nIt provides the context where the extension will operate.\n\n\n\n#### Jinja2TimeExtension.parse\n\n```python\ndef parse(parser: Any) -> nodes.Node | list[nodes.Node]\n```\n\nParse the template expression to determine how to handle the datetime formatting.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `parser`: The parser object that processes the template expressions and manages the syntax tree.\nIt's used to interpret the template's structure.\n\n\n\n## Module jupyter\n\n\n\n#### is\\_in\\_jupyter\n\n```python\ndef is_in_jupyter() -> bool\n```\n\nReturns `True` if in Jupyter or Google Colab, `False` otherwise.\n\n\n\n## Module misc\n\n\n\n#### expand\\_page\\_range\n\n```python\ndef expand_page_range(page_range: list[str | int]) -> list[int]\n```\n\nTakes a list of page numbers and ranges and expands them into a list of page numbers.\n\nFor example, given a page_range=['1-3', '5', '8', '10-12'] the function will return [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12]\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `page_range`: List of page numbers and ranges\n\n**Returns**:\n\nAn expanded list of page integers\n\n\n\n#### expit\n\n```python\ndef expit(x: float | ndarray[Any, Any]) -> float | ndarray[Any, Any]\n```\n\nCompute logistic sigmoid function. Maps input values to a range between 0 and 1\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `x`: input value. Can be a scalar or a numpy array.\n\n\n\n## Module requests\\_utils\n\n\n\n#### request\\_with\\_retry\n\n```python\ndef request_with_retry(attempts: int = 3,\n status_codes_to_retry: list[int] | None

The same tool definitions and usage patterns work consistently\nwhether using Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Ollama, or any other supported LLM providers.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack.tools import Tool\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.generators.amazon_bedrock import AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n\ndef weather(city: str):\n return f'The weather in {city} is sunny and 32°C'\n\n# Define tool parameters\ntool_parameters = {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\"city\": {\"type\": \"string\"}},\n \"required\": [\"city\"]\n}\n\n# Create weather tool\nweather_tool = Tool(\n name=\"weather\",\n description=\"useful to determine the weather in a given location\",\n parameters=tool_parameters,\n function=weather\n)\n\n# Initialize generator with tool\nclient = AmazonBedrockChatGenerator(\n model=\"anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0\",\n tools=[weather_tool]\n)\n\n# Run initial query\nmessages = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"What's the weather like in Paris?\")]\nresults = client.run(messages=messages)\n\n# Get tool call from response\ntool_message = next(msg for msg in results[\"replies\"] if msg.tool_call)\ntool_call = tool_message.tool_call\n\n# Execute tool and send result back\nweather_result = weather(**tool_call.arguments)\nnew_messages = [\n messages[0],\n tool_message,\n ChatMessage.from_tool(tool_result=weather_result, origin=tool_call)\n]\n\n# Get final response\nfinal_result = client.run(new_messages)\nprint(final_result[\"replies\"][0].text)\n\n> Based on the information I've received, I can tell you that the weather in Paris is\n> currently sunny with a temperature of 32°C (which is about 90°F).\n```\n\n**Prompt caching**\n\nThis component supports prompt caching. You can use the `tools_cachepoint_config` parameter to configure the cache\npoint for tools.\nTo cache messages, you can use the `cachePoint` key in `ChatMessage.meta` attribute.\n\n```python\nChatMessage.from_user(\"Long message...\", meta={\"cachePoint\": {\"type\": \"default\"}})\n```\n\nFor more information, see the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-caching.html).\n\n**Authentication**\n\nAmazonBedrockChatGenerator uses AWS for authentication. You can use the AWS CLI to authenticate through your IAM.\nFor more information on setting up an IAM identity-based policy, see [Amazon Bedrock documentation]\n(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html).\n\nIf the AWS environment is configured correctly, the AWS credentials are not required as they're loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file.\nIf the AWS environment is not configured, set `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name` as environment variables or pass them as\n[Secret](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/secret-management) arguments. Make sure the region you set\nsupports Amazon Bedrock.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n model: str,\n aws_access_key_id: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_secret_access_key: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_session_token: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_region_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\"], strict=False\n ),\n aws_profile_name: Secret | None = Secret.from_env_var(\n [\"AWS_PROFILE\"], strict=False\n ),\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n boto3_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n *,\n guardrail_config: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n tools_cachepoint_config: dict[str, str] | None = None\n) -> None\n```\n\nInitializes the `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator` with the provided parameters. The parameters are passed to the\nAmazon Bedrock client.\n\nNote that the AWS credentials are not required if the AWS environment is configured correctly. These are loaded\nautomatically from the environment or the AWS configuration file and do not need to be provided explicitly via\nthe constructor. If the AWS environment is not configured users need to provide the AWS credentials via the\nconstructor. Aside from model, three required parameters are `aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`,\nand `aws_region_name`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **model** (str) – The model to use for text generation. The model must be available in Amazon Bedrock and must\n be specified in the format outlined in the [Amazon Bedrock documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids-arns.html).\n- **aws_access_key_id** (Secret | None) – AWS access key ID.\n- **aws_secret_access_key** (Secret | None) – AWS secret access key.\n- **aws_session_token** (Secret | None) – AWS session token.\n- **aws_region_name** (Secret | None) – AWS region name.

These parameters are specific to a model.\n You can find the model specific arguments in the AWS Bedrock API\n [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-parameters.html).\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – A callback function called when a new token is received from the stream.\n By default, the model is not set up for streaming. To enable streaming, set this parameter to a callback\n function that handles the streaming chunks. The callback function receives a\n [StreamingChunk](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#streamingchunk) object and switches\n the streaming mode on.\n- **boto3_config** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – The configuration for the boto3 client.\n- **tools** (ToolsType | None) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n Each tool should have a unique name.\n- **guardrail_config** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional configuration for a guardrail that has been created in Amazon Bedrock.\n This must be provided as a dictionary matching either\n [GuardrailConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_GuardrailConfiguration.html).\n or, in streaming mode (when `streaming_callback` is set),\n [GuardrailStreamConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_GuardrailStreamConfiguration.html).\n If `trace` is set to `enabled`, the guardrail trace will be included under the `trace` key in the `meta`\n attribute of the resulting `ChatMessage`.\n Note: Enabling guardrails in streaming mode may introduce additional latency.\n To manage this, you can adjust the `streamProcessingMode` parameter.\n See the\n [Guardrails Streaming documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails-streaming.html)\n for more information.\n- **tools_cachepoint_config** (dict\\[str, str\\] | None) – Optional configuration to use prompt caching for tools.\n The dictionary must match the\n [CachePointBlock schema](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_CachePointBlock.html).\n Example: `{\"type\": \"default\", \"ttl\": \"5m\"}`\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the model name is empty or None.\n- AmazonBedrockConfigurationError – If the AWS environment is not configured correctly or the model is\n not supported.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> AmazonBedrockChatGenerator\n```\n\nDeserializes the component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- AmazonBedrockChatGenerator – Instance of `AmazonBedrockChatGenerator`.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nExecutes a synchronous inference call to the Amazon Bedrock model using the Converse API.\n\nSupports both standard and streaming responses depending on whether a streaming callback is provided.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects forming the chat history.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – Optional callback for handling streaming outputs.\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary of generation parameters. Some common parameters are:\n- `maxTokens`: Maximum number of tokens to generate.\n- `stopSequences`: List of stop sequences to stop generation.\n- `temperature`: Sampling temperature.\n- `topP`: Nucleus sampling parameter.\n- **tools** (ToolsType | None) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\n Each tool should have a unique name.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[ChatMessage\\]\\] – A dictionary containing the model-generated replies under the `\"replies\"` key.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- AmazonBedrockInferenceError – If the Bedrock inference API call fails.\n\n#### run_async\n\n```python\nrun_async(\n messages: list[ChatMessage],\n streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,\n generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n tools: ToolsType | None = None,\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nExecutes an asynchronous inference call to the Amazon Bedrock model using the Converse API.\n\nDesigned for use cases where non-blocking or concurrent execution is desired.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **messages** (list\\[ChatMessage\\]) – A list of `ChatMessage` objects forming the chat history.\n- **streaming_callback** (StreamingCallbackT | None) – Optional async-compatible callback for handling streaming outputs.\n- **generation_kwargs** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Optional dictionary of generation parameters.

For example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\ntry:\n # your code here\nfinally:\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\nor in FastAPI by defining a shutdown event handler:\n```python\nfrom haystack.tracing import tracer\n\n# ...\n\n@app.on_event(\"shutdown\")\nasync def shutdown_event():\n tracer.actual_tracer.flush()\n```\n\nHere is an example of how to use LangfuseConnector in a pipeline:\n\n```python\nimport os\n\nos.environ[\"HAYSTACK_CONTENT_TRACING_ENABLED\"] = \"true\"\n\nfrom haystack import Pipeline\nfrom haystack.components.builders import ChatPromptBuilder\nfrom haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator\nfrom haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.connectors.langfuse import (\n LangfuseConnector,\n)\n\npipe = Pipeline()\npipe.add_component(\"tracer\", LangfuseConnector(\"Chat example\"))\npipe.add_component(\"prompt_builder\", ChatPromptBuilder())\npipe.add_component(\"llm\", OpenAIChatGenerator(model=\"gpt-4o-mini\"))\n\npipe.connect(\"prompt_builder.prompt\", \"llm.messages\")\n\nmessages = [\n ChatMessage.from_system(\n \"Always respond in German even if some input data is in other languages.\"\n ),\n ChatMessage.from_user(\"Tell me about {{location}}\"),\n]\n\nresponse = pipe.run(\n data={\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"template_variables\": {\"location\": \"Berlin\"},\n \"template\": messages,\n }\n }\n)\nprint(response[\"llm\"][\"replies\"][0])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_url\"])\nprint(response[\"tracer\"][\"trace_id\"])\n```\n\nFor advanced use cases, you can also customize how spans are created and processed by providing a custom\nSpanHandler. This allows you to add custom metrics, set warning levels, or attach additional metadata to your\nLangfuse traces:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.tracing.langfuse import DefaultSpanHandler, LangfuseSpan\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass CustomSpanHandler(DefaultSpanHandler):\n\n def handle(self, span: LangfuseSpan, component_type: Optional[str]) -> None:\n # Custom span handling logic, customize Langfuse spans however it fits you\n # see DefaultSpanHandler for how we create and process spans by default\n pass\n\nconnector = LangfuseConnector(span_handler=CustomSpanHandler())\n```\n\n\n\n#### LangfuseConnector.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__(name: str,\n public: bool = False,\n public_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY\"),\n secret_key: Secret\n | None = Secret.from_env_var(\"LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY\"),\n httpx_client: httpx.Client | None = None,\n span_handler: SpanHandler | None = None,\n *,\n host: str | None = None,\n langfuse_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None\n```\n\nInitialize the LangfuseConnector component.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `name`: The name for the trace.

If not specified, the localhost is used with the default port 8321.\n- `organization`: Your organization ID, defaults to `None`.\n- `generation_kwargs`: Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to\nthe Llama Stack endpoint. See [Llama Stack API docs](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/) for more details.\nSome of the supported parameters:\n- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.\n- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `timeout`: Timeout for client calls using OpenAI API. If not set, it defaults to either the\n`OPENAI_TIMEOUT` environment variable, or 30 seconds.\n- `tools`: A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.\nEach tool should have a unique name.\n- `tools_strict`: Whether to enable strict schema adherence for tool calls. If set to `True`, the model will follow exactly\nthe schema provided in the `parameters` field of the tool definition, but this may increase latency.\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n\n\n#### LlamaStackChatGenerator.from\\_dict\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef from_dict(cls, data: dict[str, Any]) -> \"LlamaStackChatGenerator\"\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `data`: The dictionary representation of this component.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe deserialized component instance.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.24/integrations-api/mcp.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"MCP\"\nid: integrations-mcp\ndescription: \"MCP integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-mcp\"\n---\n\n\n\n## Module haystack\\_integrations.tools.mcp.mcp\\_tool\n\n\n\n### AsyncExecutor\n\nThread-safe event loop executor for running async code from sync contexts.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_instance\n\n```python\n@classmethod\ndef get_instance(cls) -> \"AsyncExecutor\"\n```\n\nGet or create the global singleton executor instance.\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.\\_\\_init\\_\\_\n\n```python\ndef __init__()\n```\n\nInitialize a dedicated event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\n\n```python\ndef run(coro: Coroutine[Any, Any, Any], timeout: float | None = None) -> Any\n```\n\nRun a coroutine in the event loop.\n\n**Arguments**:\n\n- `coro`: Coroutine to execute\n- `timeout`: Optional timeout in seconds\n\n**Raises**:\n\n- `TimeoutError`: If execution exceeds timeout\n\n**Returns**:\n\nResult of the coroutine\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.get\\_loop\n\n```python\ndef get_loop()\n```\n\nGet the event loop.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe event loop\n\n\n\n#### AsyncExecutor.run\\_background\n\n```python\ndef run_background(\n coro_factory: Callable[[asyncio.Event], Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]],\n timeout: float | None = None\n) -> tuple[concurrent.futures.Future[Any], asyncio.Event]\n```\n\nSchedule `coro_factory` to run in the executor's event loop **without** blocking the\n\ncaller thread.\n\nThe factory receives an :class:`asyncio.Event` that can be used to cooperatively shut\nthe coroutine down.

The connection string can be provided as an environment\nvariable `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING` or directly as a parameter to the `MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore` constructor.\n\nAfter providing the connection string, you'll need to specify the `database_name` and `collection_name` to use.\nMost likely that you'll create these via the MongoDB Atlas web UI but one can also create them via the MongoDB\nPython driver. Creating databases and collections is beyond the scope of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. The primary\npurpose of this document store is to read and write documents to an existing collection.\n\nUsers must provide both a `vector_search_index` for vector search operations and a `full_text_search_index`\nfor full-text search operations. The `vector_search_index` supports a chosen metric\n(e.g., cosine, dot product, or Euclidean), while the `full_text_search_index` enables efficient text-based searches.\nBoth indexes can be created through the Atlas web UI.\n\nFor more details on MongoDB Atlas, see the official\nMongoDB Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```python\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.mongodb_atlas import MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore\n\nstore = MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore(database_name=\"your_existing_db\",\n collection_name=\"your_existing_collection\",\n vector_search_index=\"your_existing_index\",\n full_text_search_index=\"your_existing_index\")\nprint(store.count_documents())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n mongo_connection_string: Secret = Secret.from_env_var(\n \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\"\n ),\n database_name: str,\n collection_name: str,\n vector_search_index: str,\n full_text_search_index: str,\n embedding_field: str = \"embedding\",\n content_field: str = \"content\"\n)\n```\n\nCreates a new MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore instance.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **mongo_connection_string** (Secret) – MongoDB Atlas connection string in the format:\n `\"mongodb+srv://{mongo_atlas_username}:{mongo_atlas_password}@{mongo_atlas_host}/?{mongo_atlas_params_string}\"`.\n This can be obtained on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard by clicking on the `CONNECT` button.\n This value will be read automatically from the env var \"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING\".\n- **database_name** (str) – Name of the database to use.\n- **collection_name** (str) – Name of the collection to use. To use this document store for embedding retrieval,\n this collection needs to have a vector search index set up on the `embedding` field.\n- **vector_search_index** (str) – The name of the vector search index to use for vector search operations.\n Create a vector_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB\n Atlas [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/create-index/#std-label-avs-create-index).\n- **full_text_search_index** (str) – The name of the search index to use for full-text search operations.\n Create a full_text_search_index in the Atlas web UI and specify the init params of\n MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas\n [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/create-index/).\n- **embedding_field** (str) – The name of the field containing document embeddings. Default is \"embedding\".\n- **content_field** (str) – The name of the field containing the document content. Default is \"content\".\n This field allows defining which field to load into the Haystack Document object as content.\n It can be particularly useful when integrating with an existing collection for retrieval. We discourage\n using this parameter when working with collections created by Haystack.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If the collection name contains invalid characters.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerializes the component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Dictionary with serialized data.\n\n####

Higher values mean the model will take more risks.\n Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.\n- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model\n considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens\n comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.\n- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent\n events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.\n- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.\n- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.\n- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.\n If provided, the output will always be validated against this\n format (unless the model returns a tool call).\n For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).\n Notes:\n - This parameter accepts Pydantic models and JSON schemas for latest models starting from GPT-4o.\n - For structured outputs with streaming,\n the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.\n- `tools`: A list of tools or a Toolset for which the model can prepare calls. This parameter can accept either a\nlist of `Tool` objects or a `Toolset` instance.\n- `timeout`: The timeout for the OpenRouter API call.\n- `extra_headers`: Additional HTTP headers to include in requests to the OpenRouter API.\nThis can be useful for adding site URL or title for rankings on openrouter.ai\nFor more details, see OpenRouter [docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/quickstart).\n- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.\nIf not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.\n- `http_client_kwargs`: A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.\nFor more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/`client`).\n\n\n\n#### OpenRouterChatGenerator.to\\_dict\n\n```python\ndef to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nSerialize this component to a dictionary.\n\n**Returns**:\n\nThe serialized component as a dictionary.\n\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/reference_versioned_docs/version-2.24/integrations-api/opensearch.md", "content": "---\ntitle: \"OpenSearch\"\nid: integrations-opensearch\ndescription: \"OpenSearch integration for Haystack\"\nslug: \"/integrations-opensearch\"\n---\n\n\n## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever\n\n### OpenSearchBM25Retriever\n\nFetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.\n\nBM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n fuzziness: int | str = \"AUTO\",\n top_k: int = 10,\n scale_score: bool = False,\n all_terms_must_match: bool = False,\n filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,\n custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **filters** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.\n- **fuzziness** (int | str) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.\n This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)\n required to transform one word into another.

Additionally, it\nadds a boost to the score of exact matches.\n\nThe search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy\nmatching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.\n\nMetadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by\nOpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text\nmatch queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.\n\n**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.\n\nMust be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.\n\nExample:\n\\`\\`\\`python\nfrom haystack import Document\nfrom haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore\nfrom haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever\n\n````\n# Create documents with metadata\ndocs = [\n Document(\n content=\"Python programming guide\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Java tutorial\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Java\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 2, \"author\": \"Jane Smith\"}\n ),\n Document(\n content=\"Python advanced topics\",\n meta={\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3, \"author\": \"John Doe\"}\n ),\n]\ndocument_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)\n\n# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return\nretriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(\n document_store=document_store,\n metadata_fields=[\"category\", \"status\", \"priority\"],\n top_k=10,\n)\n\n# Search for metadata\nresult = retriever.run(query=\"Python\")\n\n# Result structure:\n# {\n# \"metadata\": [\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"active\", \"priority\": 1},\n# {\"category\": \"Python\", \"status\": \"inactive\", \"priority\": 3},\n# ]\n# }\n#\n# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.\n# Other metadata fields (like \"author\") and document content are excluded.\n```\n````\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n *,\n document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,\n metadata_fields: list[str],\n top_k: int = 20,\n exact_match_weight: float = 0.6,\n mode: Literal[\"strict\", \"fuzzy\"] = \"fuzzy\",\n fuzziness: int | Literal[\"AUTO\"] = 2,\n prefix_length: int = 0,\n max_expansions: int = 200,\n tie_breaker: float = 0.7,\n jaccard_n: int = 3,\n raise_on_failure: bool = True\n)\n```\n\nCreate the OpenSearchMetadataRetriever component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **document_store** (OpenSearchDocumentStore) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.\n- **metadata_fields** (list\\[str\\]) – List of metadata field names to search within each document's metadata.\n- **top_k** (int) – Maximum number of top results to return based on relevance.

Use `variable` and `required_variables`\nto define input types and required variables.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### Static ChatMessage prompt template\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\")]\nbuilder = ChatPromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### Overriding static ChatMessage template at runtime\n\n```python\ntemplate = [ChatMessage.from_user(\"Translate to {{ target_language }}.

The component looks for Jinja2 template syntax and\n renders the prompt with the provided variables. Provide the template in either\n the `init` method`or the`run\\` method.\n- **required_variables** (list\\[str\\] | Literal['\\*'] | None) – List variables that must be provided as input to ChatPromptBuilder.\n If a variable listed as required is not provided, an exception is raised.\n If set to `\"*\"`, all variables found in the prompt are required. Optional.\n- **variables** (list\\[str\\] | None) – List input variables to use in prompt templates instead of the ones inferred from the\n `template` parameter. For example, to use more variables during prompt engineering than the ones present\n in the default template, you can provide them here.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(\n template: list[ChatMessage] | str | None = None,\n template_variables: dict[str, Any] | None = None,\n **kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None\n) -> dict[str, list[ChatMessage]]\n```\n\nRenders the prompt template with the provided variables.\n\nIt applies the template variables to render the final prompt. You can provide variables with pipeline kwargs.\nTo overwrite the default template, you can set the `template` parameter.\nTo overwrite pipeline kwargs, you can set the `template_variables` parameter.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **template** (list\\[ChatMessage\\] | str | None) – An optional list of `ChatMessage` objects or string template to overwrite ChatPromptBuilder's default\n template.\n If `None`, the default template provided at initialization is used.\n- **template_variables** (dict\\[str, Any\\] | None) – An optional dictionary of template variables to overwrite the pipeline variables.\n- **kwargs** – Pipeline variables used for rendering the prompt.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, list\\[ChatMessage\\]\\] – A dictionary with the following keys:\n- `prompt`: The updated list of `ChatMessage` objects after rendering the templates.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- ValueError – If `chat_messages` is empty or contains elements that are not instances of `ChatMessage`.\n\n#### to_dict\n\n```python\nto_dict() -> dict[str, Any]\n```\n\nReturns a dictionary representation of the component.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- dict\\[str, Any\\] – Serialized dictionary representation of the component.\n\n#### from_dict\n\n```python\nfrom_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> ChatPromptBuilder\n```\n\nDeserialize this component from a dictionary.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **data** (dict\\[str, Any\\]) – The dictionary to deserialize and create the component.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- ChatPromptBuilder – The deserialized component.\n\n## prompt_builder\n\n### PromptBuilder\n\nRenders a prompt filling in any variables so that it can send it to a Generator.\n\nThe prompt uses Jinja2 template syntax.\nThe variables in the default template are used as PromptBuilder's input and are all optional.\nIf they're not provided, they're replaced with an empty string in the rendered prompt.\nTo try out different prompts, you can replace the prompt template at runtime by\nproviding a template for each pipeline run invocation.\n\n### Usage examples\n\n#### On its own\n\nThis example uses PromptBuilder to render a prompt template and fill it with `target_language`\nand `snippet`. PromptBuilder returns a prompt with the string \"Translate the following context to Spanish.\nContext: I can't speak Spanish.; Translation:\".\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder\n\ntemplate = \"Translate the following context to {{ target_language }}. Context: {{ snippet }}; Translation:\"\nbuilder = PromptBuilder(template=template)\nbuilder.run(target_language=\"spanish\", snippet=\"I can't speak spanish.\")\n```\n\n#### In a Pipeline\n\nThis is an example of a RAG pipeline where PromptBuilder renders a custom prompt template and fills it\nwith the contents of the retrieved documents and a query. The rendered prompt is then sent to a Generator.\n\n```python\nfrom haystack import Pipeline, Document\nfrom haystack.utils import Secret\nfrom haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator\nfrom haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder\n\n# in a real world use case documents could come from a retriever, web, or any other source\ndocuments = [Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\"), Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\")]\nprompt_template = \"\"\"\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{query}}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np = Pipeline()\np.add_component(instance=PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template), name=\"prompt_builder\")\np.add_component(instance=OpenAIGenerator(api_key=Secret.from_env_var(\"OPENAI_API_KEY\")), name=\"llm\")\np.connect(\"prompt_builder\", \"llm\")\n\nquestion = \"Where does Joe live?\"\nresult = p.run({\"prompt_builder\": {\"documents\": documents, \"query\": question}})\nprint(result)\n```\n\n#### Changing the template at runtime (prompt engineering)\n\nYou can change the prompt template of an existing pipeline, like in this example:\n\n```python\ndocuments = [\n Document(content=\"Joe lives in Berlin\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n Document(content=\"Joe is a software engineer\", meta={\"name\": \"doc1\"}),\n]\nnew_template = \"\"\"\n You are a helpful assistant.\n Given these documents, answer the question.\n Documents:\n {% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n {% endfor %}\n\n Question: {{ query }}\n Answer:\n \"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": new_template,\n },\n})\n```\n\nTo replace the variables in the default template when testing your prompt,\npass the new variables in the `variables` parameter.\n\n#### Overwriting variables at runtime\n\nTo overwrite the values of variables, use `template_variables` during runtime:\n\n```python\nlanguage_template = \"\"\"\nYou are a helpful assistant.\nGiven these documents, answer the question.\nDocuments:\n{% for doc in documents %}\n Document {{ loop.index }}:\n Document name: {{ doc.meta['name'] }}\n {{ doc.content }}\n{% endfor %}\n\nQuestion: {{ query }}\nPlease provide your answer in {{ answer_language | default('English') }}\nAnswer:\n\"\"\"\np.run({\n \"prompt_builder\": {\n \"documents\": documents,\n \"query\": question,\n \"template\": language_template,\n \"template_variables\": {\"answer_language\": \"German\"},\n },\n})\n```\n\nNote that `language_template` introduces variable `answer_language` which is not bound to any pipeline variable.\nIf not set otherwise, it will use its default value 'English'.\nThis example overwrites its value to 'German'.\nUse `template_variables` to overwrite pipeline variables (such as documents) as well.\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n template: str,\n required_variables: list[str] | Literal[\"*\"] | None = None,\n variables: list[str] | None = None,\n)\n```\n\nConstructs a PromptBuilder component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **template** (str) – A prompt template that uses Jinja2 syntax to add variables.

Use HTMLToDocument\nconverter to do this.\n\n### Usage example\n\n```python\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers.link_content import LinkContentFetcher\n\nfetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\nstreams = fetcher.run(urls=[\"https://www.google.com\"])[\"streams\"]\n\nassert len(streams) == 1\nassert streams[0].meta == {'content_type': 'text/html', 'url': 'https://www.google.com'}\nassert streams[0].data\n```\n\nFor async usage:\n\n```python\nimport asyncio\nfrom haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher\n\nasync def fetch_async():\n fetcher = LinkContentFetcher()\n result = await fetcher.run_async(urls=[\"https://www.google.com\"])\n return result[\"streams\"]\n\nstreams = asyncio.run(fetch_async())\n```\n\n#### __init__\n\n```python\n__init__(\n raise_on_failure: bool = True,\n user_agents: list[str] | None = None,\n retry_attempts: int = 2,\n timeout: int = 3,\n http2: bool = False,\n client_kwargs: dict | None = None,\n request_headers: dict[str, str] | None = None,\n)\n```\n\nInitializes the component.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **raise_on_failure** (bool) – If `True`, raises an exception if it fails to fetch a single URL.\n For multiple URLs, it logs errors and returns the content it successfully fetched.\n- **user_agents** (list\\[str\\] | None) – [User agents](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-Agent)\n for fetching content. If `None`, a default user agent is used.\n- **retry_attempts** (int) – The number of times to retry to fetch the URL's content.\n- **timeout** (int) – Timeout in seconds for the request.\n- **http2** (bool) – Whether to enable HTTP/2 support for requests. Defaults to False.\n Requires the 'h2' package to be installed (via `pip install httpx[http2]`).\n- **client_kwargs** (dict | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the httpx client.\n If `None`, default values are used.\n\n#### run\n\n```python\nrun(urls: list[str])\n```\n\nFetches content from a list of URLs and returns a list of extracted content streams.\n\nEach content stream is a `ByteStream` object containing the extracted content as binary data.\nEach ByteStream object in the returned list corresponds to the contents of a single URL.\nThe content type of each stream is stored in the metadata of the ByteStream object under\nthe key \"content_type\". The URL of the fetched content is stored under the key \"url\".\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **urls** (list\\[str\\]) – A list of URLs to fetch content from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- – `ByteStream` objects representing the extracted content.\n\n**Raises:**\n\n- Exception – If the provided list of URLs contains only a single URL, and `raise_on_failure` is set to\n `True`, an exception will be raised in case of an error during content retrieval.\n In all other scenarios, any retrieval errors are logged, and a list of successfully retrieved `ByteStream`\n objects is returned.\n\n#### run_async\n\n```python\nrun_async(urls: list[str])\n```\n\nAsynchronously fetches content from a list of URLs and returns a list of extracted content streams.\n\nThis is the asynchronous version of the `run` method with the same parameters and return values.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n- **urls** (list\\[str\\]) – A list of URLs to fetch content from.\n\n**Returns:**\n\n- – `ByteStream` objects representing the extracted content.\n" }, { "path": "docs-website/static/.nojekyll", "content": "" }, { "path": "haystack/py.typed", "content": "" } ]
