Installation
To use this gem during the beta, install directly from GitHub with Bundler by
adding the following to your application's Gemfile:
gem "braintrust", git: "https://github.com/braintrustdata/braintrust-ruby", branch: "main"
To fetch an initial copy of the gem:
bundle install
To update the version used by your application when updates are pushed to GitHub:
bundle update braintrust
Usage
require "braintrust"
braintrust = Braintrust::Client.new(
api_key: "My API Key" # defaults to ENV["BRAINTRUST_API_KEY"]
)
project = braintrust.projects.create(name: "foobar")
puts project.id
Errors
When the library is unable to connect to the API, or if the API returns a
non-success status code (i.e., 4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of
Braintrust::HTTP::Error will be thrown:
begin
project = braintrust.projects.create(name: "foobar")
rescue Braintrust::HTTP::Error => e
puts e.code # 400
end
Error codes are as followed:
| Status Code | Error Type |
|---|---|
| 400 | BadRequestError |
| 401 | AuthenticationError |
| 403 | PermissionDeniedError |
| 404 | NotFoundError |
| 409 | ConflictError |
| 422 | UnprocessableEntityError |
| 429 | RateLimitError |
| >=500 | InternalServerError |
| (else) | APIStatusError |
| N/A | APIConnectionError |
Retries
Certain errors will be automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff. Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors will all be retried by default.
You can use the max_retries option to configure or disable this:
# Configure the default for all requests:
braintrust = Braintrust::Client.new(
max_retries: 0 # default is 2
)
# Or, configure per-request:
braintrust.projects.create(name: "foobar", max_retries: 5)
Versioning
This package follows SemVer conventions. As the
library is in initial development and has a major version of 0, APIs may change
at any time.
Requirements
