Initialiaztion client in python

I added .env file in which are db_url,api_key.But when i in main.py initialize client i got File "C:\Users\pvukovic\Desktop\AI_projects\ChatDocko_demo\backend\main.py", line 7, in <module> xata = XataClient(api_key=api_key, db_url=DB_URL) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\pvukovic\AppData\Local\miniconda3\envs\chatdocky\Lib\site-packages\xata\client.py", line 111, in init ) = self._get_workspace_id() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\pvukovic\AppData\Local\miniconda3\envs\chatdocky\Lib\site-packages\xata\client.py", line 241, in _get_workspace_id raise Exception( Exception: No workspace ID found. Searched in XATA_WORKSPACE_ID env, ~/.config/xata/key, and C:\Users\pvukovic\Desktop\AI_projects\ChatDocko_demo\backend\.env.Can you give me steps to connect my schema project from xata with python in vs code?

Hi, you can either pass the api_key and db_url to the client constructor, otherwise if not explicitly set it retrieves them from the respective env variables (XATA_API_KEY, XATA_DATABASE_URL). Here's a code sample for excplicitly passing with api_key and db_url parameters:

from xata.client import XataClient

xata = XataClient(
    api_key="xau_myapikey",
    db_url="https://test1-r7pmtd.us-east-1.xata.sh/db/test",
)

record = {
    "first_name": "Peter Parker",
}

# Insert record to table "users" and let Xata generate a record Id

resp = xata.records().insert("user", record)
print(resp)
print("Record Id: %s" % resp["id"])

from xata.client import XataClient

xata = XataClient(
    api_key="xau_myapikey",
    db_url="https://test1-r7pmtd.us-east-1.xata.sh/db/test",
)

record = {
    "first_name": "Peter Parker",
}

# Insert record to table "users" and let Xata generate a record Id

resp = xata.records().insert("user", record)
print(resp)
print("Record Id: %s" % resp["id"])

With this approach, you don't need to specify the workspace_id (either in a constructor option or in an env variable). The db_url suffices and contains all relevant information Otherwise, you can set the options workspace_id, region, db_name separately. Mixing up both db_url and workspace_id/region/db_name approaches will throw an error. If you're using db_url then make sure the XATA_WORKSPACE_ID isn't set as an env variable and isn't present in the .env file. In case the issue still persists, you can share your code so we can have a look.
