Featrix Support: Uploading Data
Getting Started with Featrix: Uploading Data
Featrix provides a number of ways to connect data for training.
Uploading in the User Interface
For small amounts of data, uploading in the user interface is easy and straightforward. However, browser-based networking can be iffy at times and you may want other options.
Uploading via the Python API
You can upload to Featrix via the API. Create a new API Key, and use the sample code to instantiate a Featrix object in Python.
Uploading to S3 Presigned URLs
We are adding support for presigned private URLs that you can use with any HTTP client, such as curl. This will be exposed in the user interface shortly.
Downloading to Featrix
You can give a URL for Featrix to fetch, such as a Google Drive, Dropbox, or an S3 'public' url.
Connecting Directly to a Cloud Database
In private preview. Please contact us at hello@featrix.ai if you'd like to connect MongoDB, Snowflake, or BigQuery to Featrix directly.

Featrix API Example
First, create your API keys in the user interface. Once you have the client_id and the client_secret, store them somewhere safe (environment variable, secrets manager, etc).
Next, install the featrixclient package with pip:
$ pip install featrixclient
Now you can write a script or use a Jupyter notebook as follows:
import featrixclient as ft
client_id = '...' # e.g., os.environ['FEATRIX_CLIENT_ID']
client_secret = '...secret...' # e.g., os.environ['FEATRIX_CLIENT_SECRET_ID']
fc = ft.Featrix(client_id, client_secret)
# Remember, you can say help(fc), help(ft), etc. to view the built-in documentation.
fc.upload_file("path/to/csv.csv") # Returns a FeatrixUpload object on success or will raise an exception
At this point, you can connect the data in the user interface
