Getting started with Objective Search requires the following steps:

1

Add data

Add data to the Object Store
2

Create Index

Build an Index using the data
3

Search Index

Querying the Index to get results

​
Setup

For this quickstart we’ll be using the python SDK. First, get an API key and install the SDK.

To get an API key, join the waitlist.

pip install objective-sdk

​
Adding data

Push Objects to the Object Store using the CRUD APIs.

from objective import Client

client = Client(api_key="sk_...")  # Insert your API key here

objects = []
objects.append(
    {
        "id": "1",
        "object": {
            "title": "Sevendayz Men's Shady Records Eminem Hoodie Hoody Black Medium",
            "brand": "sevendayz",
            "imageURLHighRes": [
                "https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41gMYeiNASL.jpg"
            ],
        },
    }
)

client.object_store.upsert_objects(objects)

​
Building an Index

Build an index out of the Objects pushed to the API. This will create an Index and add all of the Objects in the Object Store to it, making them searchable.

index = client.indexes.create_index(
    index_type="multimodal", fields={
      "searchable": ["title", "brand"],
      "crawlable": ["imageURLHighRes"]
    }
)
index.status(watch=True)

​
Querying results

from objective import Client
import json

client = Client(api_key="sk_...")
index = client.indexes.get_index(<<INSERT INDEX ID HERE>>)

results = index.search(query="rapper hoodies", object_fields="*")
print(json.dumps(results, indent=4))
