Python SDK

IntroCopy Anchor Link

The Chemical Insights APIs - CI-API SDK provides access to the Chemical Insights APIs - CI-API REST APIs.

The CI API provides programmatic access to public chemical safety data from UL Research Institutes' Chemical Insights Research Institute: chemical identifiers and details, hazard, exposure and toxicokinetic data.

InstallationCopy Anchor Link

Add the SDK to your project from its folder, with whichever package manager your project uses. Give each tool a path containing a slash, such as ../chemical-insights-apis-ci-api — a bare folder name is looked up on PyPI instead, and resolves to whatever project holds that name there:

pip install <path-to-sdk>

uv add <path-to-sdk>

poetry add <path-to-sdk>

Quick StartCopy Anchor Link

Synchronous clientCopy Anchor Link

Construct ChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient with keyword arguments, and call close() when you are done. Every argument is optional.

from chemical_insights_apis_ci_api import ChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient

client = ChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient()

client.close()

Alternatively, scope it — with ChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient(...) as client: closes the pool on exit.

Asynchronous clientCopy Anchor Link

AsyncChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient mirrors ChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient with identical method names, and every endpoint method is a coroutine. It takes the same arguments, with some differences — for example, the transport argument is custom_async_http_client.

from asyncio import run

from chemical_insights_apis_ci_api import AsyncChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient


async def main() -> None:
    client = AsyncChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient()
    await client.aclose()


run(main())

Alternatively, scope it — async with AsyncChemicalInsightsApisCiApiClient(...) as client: closes the pool on exit.
