Item uploader class. Defaults are loaded from the .squirrorc file in the current user’s home directory.

Parameters:
  • token – User refresh token.
  • project_id – Identifier of the project, optional but one of project_id or project_title has to be passed in.

  • source_name – Name of the source.
  • source_ext_id – External identifier of the source, if not provided defaults to source_name.
  • cluster – Cluster to connect to. This only needs to be changed for on-premise installations.
  • batch_size – Number of items to send in one request. This should be lower than 100 depending on your setup, defaults to 50. If set to -1 the optimal batch size is calculated from the items. Defaults to -1.
  • bulk_index – If set to True the cluster is instructed to index data in bulk.
  • bulk_index_add_batch_identifier – If set to True the cluster is instructed to add a batch identifier to each item during bulk indexing.
  • bulk_index_add_summary_from_body – If set to True the cluster is instructed to add the summary from the body during bulk indexing.
  • config_file – Configuration file to use, defaults to ~/.squirrorc
  • config_section – Section of the .ini file to use, defaults to squirro.
  • processing_config – A dictionary which contains specific instructions which are used while processing items for the source.
  • source_id – Source which should be used. If passed in together with source_secret no source is created.
  • source_secret – Source secret to be used with source_id. If passed in together with source_id no source is created.
