Working with Vendors

Vendors represent third-party AI providers and services that you integrate with in Credo AI.

Overview

Vendors in Credo AI represent external AI service providers, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, or any other third-party AI/ML service your organization uses. Tracking vendors helps you maintain governance over external AI dependencies.

Listing Vendors

Python

from credoai import CredoAI

client = CredoAI()

response = client.vendors.list(page_limit=50)
for vendor in response.items:
    print(f"{vendor.name} (ID: {vendor.id})")

TypeScript

import { createCredoAIClient } from '@credo-ai/sdk';

const client = createCredoAIClient('your-tenant');

const { data: response, error } = await client.vendors.list({ pageLimit: 50 });
if (error) throw error;
for (const vendor of response.items) {
  console.log(`${vendor.name} (ID: ${vendor.id})`);
}

Creating a Vendor

Python

from credoai import CredoAI, VendorCreate

client = CredoAI()

vendor = client.vendors.create(
    data=VendorCreate(
        name="OpenAI",
        description="GPT models and embeddings API",
    )
)
print(f"Created: {vendor.id}")

TypeScript

import { createCredoAIClient } from '@credo-ai/sdk';

const client = createCredoAIClient('your-tenant');

const { data: vendor, error } = await client.vendors.create({
  name: 'OpenAI',
  description: 'GPT models and embeddings API',
});
if (error) throw error;
console.log(`Created: ${vendor.id}`);

Getting a Vendor

Python

vendor = client.vendors.get(vendor_id="vendor_def456")
print(f"Name: {vendor.name}")

TypeScript

const { data: vendor, error } = await client.vendors.get('vendor_def456');
if (error) throw error;
console.log(`Name: ${vendor.name}`);

Updating a Vendor

Python

from credoai import VendorUpdate

updated = client.vendors.update(
    vendor_id="vendor_def456",
    data=VendorUpdate(description="Updated description"),
)

TypeScript

const { data: updated, error } = await client.vendors.update('vendor_def456', {
  description: 'Updated description',
});
if (error) throw error;

Deleting a Vendor

Python

client.vendors.delete(vendor_id="vendor_def456")

TypeScript

const { error } = await client.vendors.delete('vendor_def456');
if (error) throw error;

Managing Relationships

Vendors can be linked to use cases and models:

Python

from credoai import RelationshipAdd

# Add a vendor to a use case
client.use_case_vendors.add(
    use_case_id="uc_abc123",
    data=RelationshipAdd(id="vendor_def456"),
)

# List vendors for a use case
vendors = client.use_case_vendors.list(use_case_id="uc_abc123")

# Add a vendor to a model
client.model_vendors.add(
    model_id="model_xyz789",
    data=RelationshipAdd(id="vendor_def456"),
)

TypeScript

// Add a vendor to a use case
const { error: addError } = await client.useCases.vendors.add('uc_abc123', {
  id: 'vendor_def456',
});
if (addError) throw addError;

// List vendors for a use case
const { data: vendors, error: listError } = await client.useCases.vendors.list('uc_abc123');
if (listError) throw listError;

// Add a vendor to a model
const { error: modelError } = await client.models.vendors.add('model_xyz789', {
  id: 'vendor_def456',
});
if (modelError) throw modelError;
