langchain API Reference¶
langchain.agents¶
Agent is a class that uses an LLM to choose a sequence of actions to take.
In Chains, a sequence of actions is hardcoded. In Agents, a language model is used as a reasoning engine to determine which actions to take and in which order.
Agents select and use Tools and Toolkits for actions.

langchain.chains¶
Chains are easily reusable components linked together.
Chains encode a sequence of calls to components like models, document retrievers, other Chains, etc., and provide a simple interface to this sequence.
The Chain interface makes it easy to create apps that are:
Stateful: add Memory to any Chain to give it state,
Observable: pass Callbacks to a Chain to execute additional functionality, like logging, outside the main sequence of component calls,
Composable: combine Chains with other components, including other Chains.

Functions¶
langchain.evaluation¶
Evaluation chains for grading LLM and Chain outputs.
This module contains off-the-shelf evaluation chains for grading the output of LangChain primitives such as language models and chains.
Loading an evaluator
To load an evaluator, you can use the load_evaluators or
load_evaluator functions with the
names of the evaluators to load.
from langchain.evaluation import load_evaluator
evaluator = load_evaluator("qa")
evaluator.evaluate_strings(
prediction="We sold more than 40,000 units last week",
input="How many units did we sell last week?",
reference="We sold 32,378 units",
)
The evaluator must be one of EvaluatorType.
Datasets
To load one of the LangChain HuggingFace datasets, you can use the load_dataset function with the
name of the dataset to load.
from langchain.evaluation import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("llm-math")
Some common use cases for evaluation include:
Grading the accuracy of a response against ground truth answers:
QAEvalChainComparing the output of two models:
PairwiseStringEvalChainorLabeledPairwiseStringEvalChainwhen there is additionally a reference label.Judging the efficacy of an agent’s tool usage:
TrajectoryEvalChainChecking whether an output complies with a set of criteria:
CriteriaEvalChainorLabeledCriteriaEvalChainwhen there is additionally a reference label.Computing semantic difference between a prediction and reference:
EmbeddingDistanceEvalChainor between two predictions:PairwiseEmbeddingDistanceEvalChainMeasuring the string distance between a prediction and reference
StringDistanceEvalChainor between two predictionsPairwiseStringDistanceEvalChain
Low-level API
These evaluators implement one of the following interfaces:
StringEvaluator: Evaluate a prediction string against a reference label and/or input context.PairwiseStringEvaluator: Evaluate two prediction strings against each other. Useful for scoring preferences, measuring similarity between two chain or llm agents, or comparing outputs on similar inputs.AgentTrajectoryEvaluatorEvaluate the full sequence of actions taken by an agent.
These interfaces enable easier composability and usage within a higher level evaluation framework.

LangSmith utilities.
This module provides utilities for connecting to LangSmith. For more information on LangSmith, see the LangSmith documentation.
Evaluation
LangSmith helps you evaluate Chains and other language model application components using a number of LangChain evaluators.
An example of this is shown below, assuming you’ve created a LangSmith dataset called <my_dataset_name>:
from langsmith import Client
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.chains import LLMChain
from langchain.smith import RunEvalConfig, run_on_dataset
# Chains may have memory. Passing in a constructor function lets the
# evaluation framework avoid cross-contamination between runs.
def construct_chain():
llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0)
chain = LLMChain.from_string(
llm,
"What's the answer to {your_input_key}"
)
return chain
# Load off-the-shelf evaluators via config or the EvaluatorType (string or enum)
evaluation_config = RunEvalConfig(
evaluators=[
"qa", # "Correctness" against a reference answer
"embedding_distance",
RunEvalConfig.Criteria("helpfulness"),
RunEvalConfig.Criteria({
"fifth-grader-score": "Do you have to be smarter than a fifth grader to answer this question?"
}),
]
)
client = Client()
run_on_dataset(
client,
"<my_dataset_name>",
construct_chain,
evaluation=evaluation_config,
)
You can also create custom evaluators by subclassing the
StringEvaluator
or LangSmith’s RunEvaluator classes.
from typing import Optional
from langchain.evaluation import StringEvaluator
class MyStringEvaluator(StringEvaluator):
@property
def requires_input(self) -> bool:
return False
@property
def requires_reference(self) -> bool:
return True
@property
def evaluation_name(self) -> str:
return "exact_match"
def _evaluate_strings(self, prediction, reference=None, input=None, **kwargs) -> dict:
return {"score": prediction == reference}
evaluation_config = RunEvalConfig(
custom_evaluators = [MyStringEvaluator()],
)
run_on_dataset(
client,
"<my_dataset_name>",
construct_chain,
evaluation=evaluation_config,
)

|
|
Evaluate Run and optional examples. |
Extract items to evaluate from the run object. |
|
Map an input to the tool. |
Functions¶

langchain.storage¶
Implementations of key-value stores and storage helpers.
Module provides implementations of various key-value stores that conform to a simple key-value interface.
The primary goal of these storages is to support implementation of caching.
Classes¶
Wraps a store with key and value encoders/decoders. |
|
|
BaseStore interface that works on the local file system. |
In-memory implementation of the BaseStore using a dictionary. |
langchain.text_splitter¶
Text Splitters are classes for splitting text.
Class hierarchy:
BaseDocumentTransformer --> TextSplitter --> <name>TextSplitter # Example: CharacterTextSplitter
RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter --> <name>TextSplitter
Note: MarkdownHeaderTextSplitter and **HTMLHeaderTextSplitter do not derive from TextSplitter.
Main helpers:
Document, Tokenizer, Language, LineType, HeaderType
Classes¶
Splitting text that looks at characters. |
|
Element type as typed dict. |
|
|
Splitting HTML files based on specified headers. |
Header type as typed dict. |
|
|
Enum of the programming languages. |
|
Attempts to split the text along Latex-formatted layout elements. |
Line type as typed dict. |
|
Splitting markdown files based on specified headers. |
|
|
Attempts to split the text along Markdown-formatted headings. |
|
Splitting text using NLTK package. |
|
Attempts to split the text along Python syntax. |
Splitting text by recursively look at characters. |
|
Splitting text to tokens using sentence model tokenizer. |
|
|
Splitting text using Spacy package. |
|
Interface for splitting text into chunks. |
Splitting text to tokens using model tokenizer. |
|
|
Tokenizer data class. |
Functions¶
|
Split incoming text and return chunks using tokenizer. |
langchain.tools¶
Tools are classes that an Agent uses to interact with the world.
Each tool has a description. Agent uses the description to choose the right tool for the job.
Class hierarchy:
ToolMetaclass --> BaseTool --> <name>Tool # Examples: AIPluginTool, BaseGraphQLTool
<name> # Examples: BraveSearch, HumanInputRun
Main helpers:
CallbackManagerForToolRun, AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun
Classes¶
Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments. |
Functions¶
Render the tool name and description in plain text. |
|
Render the tool name, description, and args in plain text. |
|
Create a tool to do retrieval of documents. |
langchain.utils¶
Utility functions for LangChain.
These functions do not depend on any other LangChain module.
Classes¶
Representation of a callable function to the Ernie API. |
|
Representation of a callable function to the Ernie API. |
Functions¶
|
Converts a Pydantic model to a function description for the Ernie API. |
