Creating Sessions

Create a session to maintain conversation context: 
session = client.sessions.create(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    user_id=user.id,  # Optional
    context_overflow="adaptive",  # or "truncate" or "summarize"
    metadata={
        "channel": "web",
        "language": "english"
    }
)

​
Session Chat

Interact with an agent through a session: 
# Single message
response = client.sessions.chat(
    session_id=session.id,
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "What can you help me with?"
        }
    ]
)

# Multiple messages in a conversation
response = client.sessions.chat(
    session_id=session.id,
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "I need help with research"
        },
        {
            "role": "assistant",
            "content": "I can help you with that. What topic would you like to research?"
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Let's research quantum computing"
        }
    ]
)

​
Managing Session Context

# Get session history
history = client.sessions.history(
    session_id=session.id,
    limit=10,
    before=datetime.now()
)

# Update session context
session = client.sessions.update(
    session_id=session.id,
    metadata={"topic": "quantum computing"}
)

# Clear session history
client.sessions.clear(session_id=session.id)

​
Session Documents

Manage documents associated with a session: 
# Add a document to the session
doc = client.sessions.docs.create(
    session_id=session.id,
    title="Research Notes",
    content="Notes about quantum computing...",
    metadata={"type": "notes"}
)

# Search session documents
results = client.sessions.docs.search(
    session_id=session.id,
    text="quantum",
    metadata_filter={"type": "notes"}
)

# Delete a session document
client.sessions.docs.delete(
    session_id=session.id,
    doc_id=doc.id
)

​
Session Management

# List sessions
sessions = client.sessions.list(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    user_id=user.id,  # Optional
    limit=10,
    offset=0
)

# Get session details
session = client.sessions.get(session_id=session.id)

# Delete a session
client.sessions.delete(session_id=session.id)

​
Error Handling

from julep.exceptions import JulepError, SessionNotFoundError

try:
    session = client.sessions.get("nonexistent_id")
except SessionNotFoundError:
    print("Session not found")
except JulepError as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

​
Working with Context Overflow

Julep provides different strategies for handling context overflow: 
# Adaptive context handling (default)
session = client.sessions.create(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    context_overflow="adaptive"
)

# Truncate old messages
session = client.sessions.create(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    context_overflow="truncate"
)

# Summarize old messages
session = client.sessions.create(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    context_overflow="summarize"
)
