Overview

Concrete tool for resource class re-exports provided by the openai-python SDK.

Description

The resources/__init__.py module serves as the centralized re-export hub for all API resource classes in the SDK. It imports and exposes 18 resource families, each consisting of a sync class, async class, and their raw-response and streaming-response variants (6 exports per family). The resource families are: Beta, Chat, Audio, Evals, Files, Images, Models, Skills, Videos, Batches, Uploads, Containers, Embeddings, Completions, FineTuning, Moderations, VectorStores. The __all__ list contains 108 symbols covering all variants. This file is auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec by Stainless and provides a single, flat import namespace for all resource classes.

Usage

Use this module to import any resource class or its response wrapper variants from a single location, e.g., from openai.resources import Chat, AsyncChat.

• Lines: 1-243

Signature

# Each resource family exports 6 symbols:
# {Name}, Async{Name}, {Name}WithRawResponse, Async{Name}WithRawResponse,
# {Name}WithStreamingResponse, Async{Name}WithStreamingResponse

# Example for Chat:
from .chat import (
    Chat,
    AsyncChat,
    ChatWithRawResponse,
    AsyncChatWithRawResponse,
    ChatWithStreamingResponse,
    AsyncChatWithStreamingResponse,
)

# 18 resource families, 108 total exports in __all__

Import

from openai.resources import (
    Chat, AsyncChat,
    Files, AsyncFiles,
    Models, AsyncModels,
    Moderations, AsyncModerations,
    Embeddings, AsyncEmbeddings,
    # ... and all other resource families
)

Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from openai.resources import Chat, Moderations, Files

# These are the same classes used internally by the client:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
assert type(client.chat).__name__ == "Chat"
