This Python client provides a simple wrapper around our powerful image recognition API.

The client supports basic tagging with existing models.

The client also uses Applications to store images and visually search across them. You can either do a simple visual search or also add predictions for any, all or none, as noted in the directions below.

The API client is available on Pip. You can simply install it with a pip install

pip install clarifai==2.0.27

For more details on the installation, please refer to https://clarifai-python.readthedocs.io/en/v2.0.27/install/

The client uses your "CLARIFAI_APP_ID" and "CLARIFAI_APP_SECRET" to get an access token. Since this expires every so often, the client is setup to renew the token for you automatically using your credentials so you don't have to worry about it.

You can get the id and secret from https://developer.clarifai.com and config them for client's use by

$ clarifai config
CLARIFAI_APP_ID: []: ************************************YQEd
CLARIFAI_APP_SECRET: []: ************************************gCqT

The config will be stored under ~/.clarifai/config for client's use

Environmental variable CLARIFAI_APP_ID and CLARIFAI_APP_SECRET will override the settings in the config file.

For AWS or Windows users, please refer to https://clarifai-python.readthedocs.io/en/v2.0.27/install/ for more instructions.

The following example will setup the client and predict from our general model

from clarifai.rest import ClarifaiApp

app = ClarifaiApp()
app.tag_urls(['https://samples.clarifai.com/metro-north.jpg'])
