Quickstart

1. Install RagaAI Catalyst

To install the RagaAI Catalyst package, run the following command in your terminal:

bash
pip install ragaai-catalyst

2. Set Up Authentication Keys

How to Get Your API Keys :

  1. Log in to your account at RagaAI Catalyst.
  2. Navigate to Profile Settings → Authentication.
  3. Click Generate New Key to obtain your Access Key and Secret Key.

Initialize the SDK

To begin using Catalyst, initialize it as follows:

python
from ragaai_catalyst import RagaAICatalyst

catalyst = RagaAICatalyst(
    access_key="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",  # Replace with your access key
    secret_key="YOUR_SECRET_KEY",  # Replace with your secret key
    base_url="BASE_URL"  
)

3. Create Your First Project

Create a new project and choose a use case from the available options:

python
# Create a new project
project = catalyst.create_project(
    project_name="Project_Name",
    usecase="Q/A"  # Options : Chatbot, Q/A, Others, Agentic Application
)

# List available use cases
print(catalyst.project_use_cases())

Add a Dataset

Initialize the dataset manager and create a dataset from a CSV file, DataFrame, or JSONl file.

Define a schema mapping for the dataset.

python
from ragaai_catalyst import Dataset

# Initialize dataset manager
dataset_manager = Dataset(project_name="Project_Name")

# Create dataset from a CSV file
dataset_manager.create_from_csv(
    csv_path="path/to/your.csv",
    dataset_name="MyDataset",
    schema_mapping={
        'column1': 'schema_element1',
        'column2': 'schema_element2'
    }
)

# View dataset schema
print(dataset_manager.get_schema_mapping())

4. Trace Your Application

Auto-Instrumentation

Auto-Instrumentation automatically traces your application after initializing the correct tracer.

Implementation

python
from ragaai_catalyst import init_tracing, Tracer

# Initialize the tracer 
tracer = Tracer(
    project_name="Project_Name",
    dataset_name="Dataset_Name",
    tracer_type="agentic/langgraph"  
)

# Enable auto-instrumentation
init_tracing(catalyst=catalyst, tracer=tracer)

Supported Tracer Types

Choose from the given supported tracer types based on your framework:

  • agentic/langgraph
  • agentic/langchain
  • agentic/smolagents
  • agentic/openai_agents
  • agentic/llamaindex
  • agentic/haystack

Custom Tracing

You can enable custom tracing in two ways:

  1. Using the with tracer() function.
  2. Manually starting and stopping the tracer with tracer.start() and tracer.stop().
python
from ragaai_catalyst import Tracer

# Initialize production tracer
tracer = Tracer(
    project_name="Project_Name",
    dataset_name="tracer_dataset_name",
    tracer_type="tracer_type"
)

# Start a trace recording (Option 1)
with tracer():
    # Your code here

# Start a trace recording (Option 2)
tracer.start()

# Your code here

# Stop the trace recording
tracer.stop()

# Verify data capture
print(tracer.get_upload_status())

5. Evaluation Framework

  1. Import Evaluation from ragaai_catalyst.
  2. Configure evaluation metrics.
  3. Add metrics from the available options.
  4. Check the status and retrieve results after running the evaluation.
python
from ragaai_catalyst import Evaluation

# Initialize evaluation engine
evaluation = Evaluation(
    project_name="Project_Name",
    dataset_name="MyDataset"
)

# Define Schema-mapping

schema_mapping = {
    'Query': 'prompt',
    'response': 'response',
    'Context': 'context',
    'expectedResponse': 'expected_response'
}

evaluation.add_metrics(
    metrics=[
        {
            "name": "Faithfulness",
            "config": {"model": "gpt-4o-mini", "provider": "openai", "threshold": {"gte": 0.232323}},
            "column_name": "Faithfulness_v1",
            "schema_mapping": schema_mapping
        }
    ]
)

# Get status and results

print(f"Status: {evaluation.get_status()}")
print(f"Results: {evaluation.get_results()}")
