This notebook goes over how to use Valyu in LangChain.

First, get an Valyu API key and add it as an environment variable. Get $10 free credit by signing up here.

Setup

The integration lives in the langchain-valyu package.

%pip install -qU langchain-valyu

In order to use the package, you will also need to set the VALYU_API_KEY environment variable to your Valyu API key.

Context Retriever

You can use the ValyuContextRetriever in a standard retrieval pipeline.

from langchain_valyu import ValyuContextRetriever

valyu_api_key = "YOUR API KEY"

# Create a new instance of the ValyuContextRetriever
valyu_retriever = ValyuContextRetriever(valyu_api_key=valyu_api_key)

# Search for a query and save the results
docs = valyu_retriever.invoke("What are the benefits of renewable energy?")

# Print the results
for doc in docs:
    print(doc.page_content)
    print(doc.metadata)

Context Search Tool

You can use the ValyuSearchTool for advanced search queries.

from langchain_valyu import ValyuSearchTool

# Initialize the ValyuSearchTool
search_tool = ValyuSearchTool(valyu_api_key="YOUR API KEY")

# Perform a search query
search_results = search_tool._run(
    query="What are agentic search-enhanced large reasoning models?",
    search_type="all",
    max_num_results=5,
    similarity_threshold=0.4,
    query_rewrite=False,
    max_price=20.0,
)

print("Search Results:", search_results)
