Redactive Node SDK

The Redactive Node SDK provides a robust and intuitive interface for interacting with the Redactive platform, enabling developers to seamlessly integrate powerful data redaction and anonymization capabilities into their Node applications.

Installation

In order to use the package to integrate with Redactive.ai, run:

npm install @redactive/redactive

There is no need to clone this repository.

If you would like to modify this package, clone the repo and install from source:

npm install ./sdks/node

Requirements

• Node v20+

Usage

The library has following components.

• AuthClient - provides functionality to interact with data sources
• SearchClient - provides functionality to search chunks with Redactive search service in gRPC
• MultiUserClient - provides functionality manage multi-user search with Redactive search service

AuthClient

AuthClient needs to be configured with your account's API key which is available in the Apps page at Redactive Dashboard.

The AuthClient can be used to present users with the data providers' OAuth consent pages:

import { AuthClient } from "@redactive/redactive";

// Construct AuthClient using your Redactive API key
const client = new AuthClient("YOUR-API-KEY-HERE");

// Establish an connection to data source
// Possible data sources: confluence, sharepoint
const redirectUri = "YOUR-REDIRECT-URI";
const provider = "confluence";
const signInUrl = await client.beginConnection({ provider, redirectUri });

// Now redirect your user to signInUrl

The user will be redirected back to your app's configured redirect uri after they have completed the steps on the data provider's OAuth consent page. There will be a signin code present in the code parameter of the query string e.g. https://your-redirect-page.com?code=abcde12345.

This code may be exchanged for a user access token (which the user may use to issue queries against their data):

// Exchange signin code for a Redactive ID token
const response = await client.exchangeTokens({ code: "SIGNIN-CODE" });
const accessToken = response.idToken;

Once a user has completed the OAuth flow, the data source should show up in their connected data sources:

(await client.listConnections({ accessToken }).connections) === ["confluence"]; // ✅

Use the list_connections method to keep your user's connection status up to date, and provide mechanisms to re-connect data sources.

SearchClient

With the Redactive access_token, you can perform two types of search

Query-based Search

Retrieve relevant chunks of information that are related to a user query.

import { SearchClient } from "@redactive/redactive";

const client = new SearchClient();
const accessToken = "REDACTIVE-ACCESS-TOKEN";

// Query-based Search: retrieve text extracts (chunks) from various documents pertaining to the user query
const query = "Tell me about AI";
await client.searchChunks({ accessToken, query });

Filters may be applied to query-based search operations. At present, the following fields may be provided as filter predicates:

message Filters {
    // Scope of the query. This may either be the name of a provider, or a subspace of documents.
    // Subspaces take the form of <provider>://<tenancy>/<path>
    // e.g. for Confluence: 'confluence://redactiveai.atlassian.net/Engineering/Engineering Onboarding Guide'
    // for Sharepoint: 'sharepoint://redactiveai.sharepoint.com/Shared Documents/Engineering/Onboarding Guide.pdf'
    repeated string scope = 1;
    // Timespan of response chunk's creation
    optional TimeSpan created = 2;
    // Timespan of response chunk's last modification
    optional TimeSpan modified = 3;
    // List of user emails associated with response chunk
    repeated string user_emails = 4;
    // Include content from documents in trash
    optional bool include_content_in_trash = 5;
}

The query will only return results which match ALL filter predicates i.e. if multiple fields are populated in the filter object, the resulting filter is the logical 'AND' of all the fields. If a data source provider does not support a filter-type, then no results from that provider are returned.

Filters may be populated and provided to a query in the following way for the NodeJS SDK:

import { Filters } from "@redactive/redactive";

// Query chunks from Confluence only, that are from documents created before last week, modified since last week,
// and that are from documents associated with a user's email. Include chunks from trashed documents.
const lastWeek = new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
const filters: Filters = {
  scope: ["confluence"],
  created: {
    before: lastWeek
  },
  modified: {
    after: lastWeek
  },
  userEmails: ["[email protected]"],
  includeContentInTrash: true
};
await client.searchChunks({ accessToken, semanticQuery, filters });

Document Fetch

Obtain all the chunks from a specific document by specifying a unique reference (i.e. a URL).

import { SearchClient } from "@redactive/redactive";

const client = new SearchClient();
const accessToken = "REDACTIVE-ACCESS-TOKEN";

// URL-based Search: retrieve all chunks of the document at that URL
const url = "https://example.com/document";
await client.getDocument({ accessToken, url });

Multi-User Client

The MultiUserClient class helps manage multiple users' authentication and access to the Redactive search service.

import { MultiUserClient } from "@redactive/redactive";

const multiUserClient = MultiUserClient(
  "REDACTIVE-API-KEY",
  "https://example.com/callback/",
  readUserData,
  multiUserClient
);

// Present `connection_url` in browser for user to interact with:
const userId = "myUserId";
const connectionUrl = await multiUserClient.getBeginConnectionUrl(userId, "confluence");

// On user return from OAuth connection flow:
let [signInCode, state] = ["", ""]; // from URL query parameters
const isConnectionSuccessful = await multiUserClient.handleConnectionCallback(userId, signInCode, state);

// User can now use Redactive search service via `MultiUserClient`'s other methods:
const query = "Tell me about the missing research vessel, the Borealis";
const chunks = await multiUserClient.searchChunks({ userId, query });
