Mistral Python Client

This client is inspired from cohere-python

You can use the Mistral Python client to interact with the Mistral AI API.

Installing

pip install mistralai

From Source

This client uses poetry as a dependency and virtual environment manager.

You can install poetry with

pip install poetry

poetry will set up a virtual environment and install dependencies with the following command:

poetry install

Run examples

You can run the examples in the examples/ directory using poetry run or by entering the virtual environment using poetry shell.

API Key Setup

Running the examples requires a Mistral AI API key.

1. Get your own Mistral API Key: https://docs.mistral.ai/#api-access
2. Set your Mistral API Key as an environment variable. You only need to do this once.

# set Mistral API Key (using zsh for example)
$ echo 'export MISTRAL_API_KEY=[your_key_here]' >> ~/.zshenv

# reload the environment (or just quit and open a new terminal)
$ source ~/.zshenv

Using poetry run

cd examples
poetry run python chat_no_streaming.py

Using poetry shell

poetry shell
cd examples

>> python chat_no_streaming.py
