Chunkr AI’s SDK supports both synchronous and asynchronous usage patterns. The same client class Chunkr can be used for both patterns, making it flexible for different application needs. All methods exists in both synchronous and asynchronous versions.

​
Synchronous Usage

For simple scripts or applications that don’t require asynchronous operations, you can use the synchronous pattern:

from chunkr_ai import Chunkr

# Initialize client
chunkr = Chunkr()

try:
    # Upload a file and wait for processing
    task = chunkr.upload("document.pdf")
    print(task.task_id)

    # Alternatively, create task without waiting - you will get back a task object without chunks
    task = chunkr.create_task("document.pdf")

    # Poll the task when ready - this will wait for the task to complete and return a task object with chunks
    task.poll()  
    print(task.output.chunks)
finally:
    # Clean up when done
    chunkr.close()

​
Asynchronous Usage

For applications that benefit from asynchronous operations (like web servers or background tasks), you can use the async pattern:

from chunkr_ai import Chunkr
import asyncio

async def process_document():
    # Initialize client
    chunkr = Chunkr()

    try:
        # Upload a file and wait for processing
        task = await chunkr.upload("document.pdf")
        print(task.task_id)

        # Alternatively, create task without waiting - you will get back a task object without chunks
        task = await chunkr.create_task("document.pdf")

        # Poll the task when ready - this will wait for the task to complete and return a task object with chunks
        await task.poll()  
        print(task.output.chunks)
    finally:
        # Clean up when done
        chunkr.close()
