RequestsPostTool

class langchain_community.tools.requests.tool.RequestsPostTool

Bases: BaseRequestsTool, BaseTool

Tool for making a POST request to an API endpoint.

Initialize the tool.

Note

RequestsPostTool implements the standard Runnable Interface. 🏃

The Runnable Interface has additional methods that are available on runnables, such as with_types, with_retry, assign, bind, get_graph, and more.

param allow_dangerous_requests: bool = False

param args_schema: TypeBaseModel | None = None

Pydantic model class to validate and parse the tool’s input arguments.

Args schema should be either:

• A subclass of pydantic.BaseModel.

or - A subclass of pydantic.v1.BaseModel if accessing v1 namespace in pydantic 2

param callback_manager: BaseCallbackManager | None = None

Deprecated since version 0.1.7: Use callbacks instead.

Callback manager to add to the run trace.

param callbacks: Callbacks = None

Callbacks to be called during tool execution.

param description: str = 'Use this when you want to POST to a website.\n    Input should be a json string with two keys: "url" and "data".\n    The value of "url" should be a string, and the value of "data" should be a dictionary of \n    key-value pairs you want to POST to the url.\n    Be careful to always use double quotes for strings in the json string\n    The output will be the text response of the POST request.\n    '

Used to tell the model how/when/why to use the tool.

You can provide few-shot examples as a part of the description.

param handle_tool_error: bool | str | Callable[[ToolException], str] | None = False

Handle the content of the ToolException thrown.

param handle_validation_error: bool | str | Callable[[ValidationError], str] | None = False

Handle the content of the ValidationError thrown.

param metadata: Dict[str, Any] | None = None

Optional metadata associated with the tool. Defaults to None. This metadata will be associated with each call to this tool, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a tool with its use case.

param requests_wrapper: GenericRequestsWrapper [Required]

param response_format: Literal['content', 'content_and_artifact'] = 'content'

The tool response format. Defaults to ‘content’.

If “content” then the output of the tool is interpreted as the contents of a ToolMessage. If “content_and_artifact” then the output is expected to be a two-tuple corresponding to the (content, artifact) of a ToolMessage.

param return_direct: bool = False

Whether to return the tool’s output directly.

Setting this to True means that after the tool is called, the AgentExecutor will stop looping.

param tags: List[str] | None = None

Optional list of tags associated with the tool. Defaults to None. These tags will be associated with each call to this tool, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a tool with its use case.

param verbose: bool = False

Whether to log the tool’s progress.

__call__(tool_input: str, callbacks: List[BaseCallbackHandler] | BaseCallbackManager | None = None) → str

Deprecated since version langchain-core==0.1.47: Use invoke instead.

Make tool callable.

Parameters:

• tool_input (str) –

Return type:

str

async abatch(inputs: List[Input], config: RunnableConfig | List[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) → List[Output]

Default implementation runs ainvoke in parallel using asyncio.gather.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying Runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

Parameters:

• inputs (List[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.

• config (RunnableConfig | List[RunnableConfig] | None) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None.

• return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.

• kwargs (Any | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Returns:

A list of outputs from the Runnable.

Return type:

List[Output]

async abatch_as_completed(inputs: Sequence[Input], config: RunnableConfig | Sequence[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) → AsyncIterator[Tuple[int, Output | Exception]]

Run ainvoke in parallel on a list of inputs, yielding results as they complete.

Parameters:

• inputs (Sequence[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.

• config (RunnableConfig | Sequence[RunnableConfig] | None) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys.

Beta

This API is in beta and may change in the future.

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvents that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvents from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

• event: str - Event names are of the

  format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).

• name: str - The name of the Runnable that generated the event.

• run_id: str - randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of

  the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.

• parent_ids: List[str] - The IDs of the parent runnables that

  generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.

• tags: Optional[List[str]] - The tags of the Runnable that generated

  the event.

• metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] - The metadata of the Runnable

  that generated the event.

• data: Dict[str, Any]

Below is a table that illustrates some evens that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

event	name	chunk	input	output
on_chat_model_start	[model name]		{“messages”: [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}
on_chat_model_stream	[model name]	AIMessageChunk(content=”hello”)
on_chat_model_end	[model name]		{“messages”: [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}	AIMessageChunk(content=”hello world”)
on_llm_start	[model name]		{‘input’: ‘hello’}
on_llm_stream	[model name]	‘Hello’
on_llm_end	[model name]		‘Hello human!’
on_chain_start	format_docs
on_chain_stream	format_docs	“hello world!, goodbye world!”
on_chain_end	format_docs		[Document(…)]	“hello world!, goodbye world!”
on_tool_start	some_tool		{“x”: 1, “y”: “2”}
on_tool_end	some_tool			{“x”: 1, “y”: “2”}
on_retriever_start	[retriever name]		{“query”: “hello”}
on_retriever_end	[retriever name]		{“query”: “hello”}	[Document(…), ..]
on_prompt_start	[template_name]		{“question”: “hello”}
on_prompt_end	[template_name]		{“question”: “hello”}	ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, …])

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	A user defined name for the event.
data	Any	The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: List[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])

format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"), ("human", "{question}")]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]

chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# will produce the following events (run_id, and parent_ids
# has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"chunk": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_stream",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"output": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_end",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
]

Example: Dispatch Custom Event

)
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda, RunnableConfig
import asyncio


async def slow_thing(some_input: str, config: RunnableConfig) -> str:
    """Do something that takes a long time."""
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 1 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 2 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation

    print(event)

Parameters:

• input (Any) – The input to the Runnable.

• config (RunnableConfig | None) – The config to use for the Runnable.

• version (Literal['v1', 'v2']) – The version of the schema to use either v2 or v1. Users should use v2. v1 is for backwards compatibility and will be deprecated in 0.4.0. No default will be assigned until the API is stabilized. custom events will only be surfaced in v2.
