​
Overview

The Reducto Python SDK uses the standard library logging module to provide visibility into SDK operations and API interactions.

​
Enabling Logging

You can enable logging by setting the REDUCTO_LOG environment variable.

​
Info Level Logging

For general logging information: 
export REDUCTO_LOG=info

​
Debug Level Logging

For more verbose logging, including detailed request and response information: 
export REDUCTO_LOG=debug
Debug level logging is useful during development and troubleshooting, but should be used cautiously in production as it may log sensitive information.

​
Usage Example

Set the environment variable before running your Python application: 
# Set logging level
export REDUCTO_LOG=info

# Run your application
python your_app.py
Or set it inline for a single command: 
REDUCTO_LOG=debug python your_app.py

​
Programmatic Configuration

You can also configure logging programmatically in your Python code using the standard logging module: 
import logging
import os
from reducto import Reducto

# Configure logging before creating the client
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)

client = Reducto(
    api_key=os.environ.get("REDUCTO_API_KEY"),
)

response = client.parse.run(
    input="https://pdfobject.com/pdf/sample.pdf",
)
When debugging API issues, enable debug logging to see detailed information about HTTP requests, including headers, request bodies, and response data.

​
Logging Levels

LevelEnvironment VariableDescription
INFOREDUCTO_LOG=infoGeneral operational information about SDK usage
DEBUGREDUCTO_LOG=debugDetailed diagnostic information including request/response details

​
Best Practices

  • Use info level logging in production for monitoring and operational insights
  • Use debug level logging during development and when troubleshooting issues
  • Be mindful that debug logging may include sensitive information in logs
  • Configure log rotation and retention policies appropriately for your environment

​
Integration with Application Logging

Since the SDK uses Python’s standard logging module, it integrates seamlessly with your application’s existing logging configuration: 
import logging
from reducto import Reducto

# Configure your application logger
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Create a handler (e.g., file handler)
handler = logging.FileHandler('app.log')
handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Create a formatter
formatter = logging.Formatter(
    '%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)
handler.setFormatter(formatter)

# Add handler to the logger
logger.addHandler(handler)

# The Reducto SDK will use the configured logging setup
client = Reducto()
