Astra DB

DataStax Astra DB is a serverless vector-capable database built on Cassandra and made conveniently available through an easy-to-use JSON API.

This notebook goes over how to use Astra DB to store chat message history.

Setup​

To run this notebook you need a running Astra DB. Get the connection secrets on your Astra dashboard:

  • the API Endpoint looks like https://01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef-us-east1.apps.astra.datastax.com;
  • the Database Token looks like AstraCS:aBcD0123....
!pip install "langchain-astradb>=0.6,<0.7"

Set up the database connection parameters and secrets​

import getpass

ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT = input("ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT = ")
ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN = getpass.getpass("ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN = ")
ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT =  https://01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef-us-east1.apps.astra.datastax.com
ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN =  ········

Example​

from langchain_astradb import AstraDBChatMessageHistory

message_history = AstraDBChatMessageHistory(
    session_id="test-session",
    api_endpoint=ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT,
    token=ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN,
)

message_history.add_user_message("hi!")

message_history.add_ai_message("hello, how are you?")
