The TwelveLabs class is the main entry point for the SDK. It initializes the client and provides access to all the resources.

Methods

The constructor

Description: The constructor creates a new instance of the TwelveLabs class.

Function signature and example:

1 constructor({ apiKey, timeoutInSeconds }: {
2     apiKey?: string;
3     timeoutInSeconds?: number;
4 });

Name	Type	Required	Description
`apiKey`	`string`	No	Your TwelveLabs API key. If not provided, the `TWELVE_LABS_API_KEY` environment variable will be used.
`timeoutInSeconds`	`number`	No	Request timeout in seconds. Defaults to `600`. For long-running endpoints (`embed` or `analyze` with large inputs), pass a higher value. For fast-fail behavior, pass a lower value, or override per call by passing `{ timeoutInSeconds: N }` as the second argument to any SDK method.

Implicitly returns the newly created instance.

Every method accepts an optional final requestOptions argument for per-call configuration:

1 await client.knowledgeStores.list(
2   {},
3   { timeoutInSeconds: 30 },
4 );

The requestOptions argument accepts the following fields:

Name	Type	Description
`timeoutInSeconds`	`number`	The request timeout, in seconds, for this call. Overrides the client’s default timeout of 600 seconds. For long-running endpoints (`embed` or `analyze` with large inputs), pass a higher value. For fast-fail behavior, pass a lower value.
`maxRetries`	`number`	The number of times to retry the request. Defaults to `2`.
`abortSignal`	`AbortSignal`	A hook to abort the request.
`headers`	`Record<string, string>`	Additional headers to include in the request.
