Usage

TypeScript

import { WorkflowBuilder } from "@fabric-platform/sdk";

const workflow = new WorkflowBuilder("my-workflow")
  .node("ai-extract", "ai_invoke", (n) =>
    n.config({
      operation: "ai.extract",
      // ... node-specific config
    })
  )
  .build();

Python

from fabric_platform import FabricClient

fabric = FabricClient(api_key="fab_xxx")

wf_id = fabric.upsert_workflow("my-workflow", nodes=[
    {
        "key": "ai-extract",
        "kind": "ai_invoke",
    },
])

Rust

use fabric_sdk::FabricClient;

let client = FabricClient::new("http://localhost:3001", api_key)?;

let wf_id = client.upsert_workflow("my-workflow", serde_json::json!({
    "nodes": [{
        "key": "ai-extract",
        "kind": "ai_invoke"
    }]
})).await?;

curl

curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/v1/workflow-definitions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FABRIC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-workflow",
    "nodes": [{
      "key": "ai-extract",
      "kind": "ai_invoke"
    }]
  }'

Example

{
  "key": "extract-metadata",
  "operation": "ai.extract",
  "config": {
    "output_schema": { "title": "string", "topics": ["string"] },
    "prompt_template": "Extract metadata from: {{context.transcript}}"
  },
  "inputs": [{ "name": "text", "path": "$context.transcript" }],
  "outputs": [{ "name": "extracted", "path": "$context.metadata" }]
}

Common Errors

Extraction returned raw text instead of JSON

Cause: The AI provider response was not valid JSON matching the output_schema

Fix: Ensure output_schema is well-defined. The result will be wrapped as {“raw”: ”…”} if parsing fails
