🚀 Get Started with CIQ in Minutes

Welcome to NineBit CIQ — your private, developer-friendly platform for building intelligent document workflows using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), classification, and taxonomy extraction.

This guide will help you:

• 📁 Upload your first document
• 💬 Query it using natural language
• ⚙️ Run everything via Python or Node.js SDK

---

1️⃣ Install the SDK

Python

pip install ninebit-ciq

JavaScript

npm install @ninebit/ciq

2️⃣ Set Up the Client

Python

from ninebit_ciq import NineBitCIQClient

client = NineBitCIQClient(
    api_key="<your-api-key>"
)

JavaScript

// Use import for ESM
import { CIQClient } from '@ninebit/ciq';

// Or use require() for CommonJS
// const { CIQClient } = require('@ninebit/ciq');

const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY || '';
const client = new CIQClient(apiKey);

🔑 Where to Get Your API Key

⚠️ To use the SDK, you’ll need your unique CIQ API key.

🧭 Go to ciq.ninebit.in, click “Register” (or Login if you already have an account), and your API key will be visible in the bottom-left corner of the dashboard.

3️⃣ Upload a Document

Python

def on_done(error, data):
    if error:
        print(f"Ingest_file failed: {error}")
    else:
        print(f"Ingest_file succeeded: {str(data)}")

client.ingest_file(file="files/sample.pdf", callback=on_done)

JavaScript

await client.ingestFile('files/sample.pdf');

4️⃣ Ask a Question

Python

query = "What are land breeze?"
response = client.rag_query(query=query)
print(f"Query response is {response}")

JavaScript

const query = "What are land breeze?";
const response = await client.ragQuery(query);
console.log("Query response is", response);
