Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a Python application needs Sider.ai chat or image OCR through a Session-based client, and you can provide the required Sider authentication token.

Who it is for

  • Python developers building applications that send prompts through Sider.ai.
  • Developers who need OCR text from image files through the same client.

Documented uses

  • Send a prompt to a selected model and collect its progressively streamed response.
  • Extract text from an image file using the OCR method.
  • Continue or begin conversations using a server-side context ID.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The documented installation is through pip, and examples use the sider_ai_api Python import.
  • Chat and OCR both return string generators that yield responses progressively.
  • An empty context ID starts a new conversation; the README describes conversation context as server-side.
  • The README identifies the project as MIT-licensed.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install the library and prepare a Session

Set up the documented Python client for Sider.ai chat and OCR.

Before you start

  • Python environment with pip
  • Sider authentication token
  • Cookie information for OCR image uploads

Steps

  1. Install the package with the command below.

    Documented command
    pip install sider-ai-api

  2. Import Session from sider_ai_api.

  3. Create a Session with the Sider token and, for OCR, the fuller cookie string.

Expected outcome

A configured Session object ready for the documented chat or OCR methods.

Guide limitations

  • A token is required for Session authentication.
  • The README says token-only access can work for chat, but OCR image uploads may require additional cookie values and can encounter a Cloudflare verification error.
