Interaction Management
Methods for publishing, searching, retrieving, and deleting user interactions.
publish_interaction
Publish user interactions to the system. This is the primary method for sending data to Reflexio.
Async applications can call await client.publish_interaction_async(...) with
the same parameters and return type. It uses native async HTTP, applies the
client's total timeout, and preserves task cancellation.
response = client.publish_interaction(
user_id,
interactions,
session_id="session_abc",
source="",
agent_version="agent-v0",
wait_for_response=False,
skip_aggregation=False,
force_extraction=False,
evaluation_only=False,
override_learning_stall=False,
retrieval_experiment_id=None,
retrieval_experiment_arm=None,

JSONReport the Reflexio context used by each response
If an agent response was produced with profiles or playbooks retrieved from Reflexio, add every injected learning to that response's retrieved_learnings. When the session is evaluated, Reflexio can then show whether each learning was relevant and whether its impact was positive, neutral, or negative. This attribution also provides the signal needed to improve future optimization of retrieved learnings. Omit the field only when no Reflexio learning was injected.
Prop
Type
Publish retrieval experiment attribution
When a learning-search response includes experiment, echo its
experiment_id and arm on every related publish. Both treatment and holdout
publish normally; do not set evaluation_only=True merely because the user is
in holdout. Omit both fields when the search response has no experiment.
Returns: PublishUserInteractionResponse. Success on either path confirms that the interactions and extraction admission were committed. The response includes the request ID and storage routing. learning_status is "done" if this request is covered, otherwise "deferred". Creation counts come from completed windows covering this request's new interactions; they exclude later windows that only reuse its interactions as overlap context.
With wait_for_response=True, the server waits only for this request's required profile/playbook coverage, within a 240-second budget including admission. A timeout or full waiter budget returns the accepted request with learning_status="deferred"; extraction continues. An incomplete window can remain pending until more interactions arrive, an optional completion hint, or its configured session inactivity deadline (six hours by default). Automatic finalization retains the usefulness judge. An admission timeout returns HTTP 504 whose detail is an object carrying reason="admission_timeout" and the request_id; use that ID to reconcile the attempt through logs or support before retrying, because the commit may still complete after the deadline. A temporarily missing learning-status record does not prove that retrying is safe.
If the server cannot admit the publish at all, it returns HTTP 503 with a detail object carrying reason="capacity_deadline_exceeded" and the request_id. Unlike the 504, nothing was admitted and nothing will commit, so the publish is safe to retry. The request_id is a correlation handle for logs and support, not something to resend: publish_interaction has no request_id parameter, so a retry necessarily arrives under a new server-minted ID.
A request that exceeds the server's own backstop before the route can answer returns a generic HTTP 504 whose detail is the string "Request timeout", alongside reason="backstop_timeout" and a correlation_id. Treat that outcome as indeterminate. The backstop wraps the whole route invocation, not just request parsing, so the absent request_id does not establish that nothing happened — the publish may already have been admitted. Reconcile with the correlation_id before retrying rather than assuming a retry cannot duplicate.
Raises pydantic.ValidationError locally, before any HTTP request, when an
interaction is contradictory or the whole batch is empty:
- every interaction is empty (no
content,shadow_content,expert_content,interacted_image_url,image_encoding,tools_used,citations,retrieved_learnings, and auser_actionofnone) - a
user_actionother thannonewith nouser_action_description - both
interacted_image_urlandimage_encodingset
The message names the offending interaction_data_list index. Because this
fires client-side, try/except around HTTP status codes will not catch it,
and there is no response object with success=False — the equivalent over raw
HTTP is a 422. A missing or blank session_id raises ValueError.
Individually empty interactions are dropped rather than raising, so one
empty placeholder turn does not fail a batch that also carries real turns.
Unrecognised keys are discarded, not rejected — but both the drops and the
unbound field names are listed in the returned warnings, so check it rather
than only success. See
InteractionData.
Evaluation-Only Publish
Set evaluation_only=True when a session should be graded but should not teach
Reflexio new profiles or playbooks, such as an offline candidate transcript.
Do not use it for a retrieval-experiment holdout: both experiment arms should
publish and learn normally so retrieval is the only controlled difference.

JSONevaluation_only=True stores the request, schedules session-level success evaluation if the session passes agent_success_config.evaluation_only_sampling_rate, and excludes the request from profile extraction, playbook extraction, and aggregation. When that override is null, it inherits the current agent_success_config.sampling_rate. Retrieved-learning evaluation keeps its independent retrieved_learning_sampling_rate. The flag does not bypass the session inactivity delay, and it is not an experiment grouping dimension. Keep evaluation_only consistent across every publish in one session.

get_learning_status
Poll the learning status for a previously published request. Call this after a deferred publish_interaction (where wait_for_response=False). The response from the deferred path carries learning_status="deferred" to signal that extraction has been queued; use this method to track progress.
status = client.get_learning_status(request_id="req_abc123")

-H "Authorization: Bearer $REFLEXIO_API_KEY"Prop
Type
Returns: str — one of "pending" | "processing" | "done" | "failed" | "not_tracked". The HTTP response additionally includes a reason.
When extraction overflow protection is enabled, failed with reason input_budget_exceeded means the window is held for explicit recovery. input_budget_configuration_error remains visible while configuration retries use exponential backoff, capped at five minutes; correcting configuration can resume the same window without resetting its consumed quota. The original interactions remain stored and the window has not completed. Use the existing request ID when contacting your operator or support. Transient provider failures continue to retry automatically.
Status values:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
pending | Waiting for a window, capacity, or a transient retry |
processing | A worker holds a window needed to cover this request |
done | All required cursors cover this request, including valid empty or skipped results |
failed | Extraction is held or retrying configuration; read the HTTP reason |
not_tracked | Published before durable stream admission was introduced |
Transient extraction failures retry with backoff and retain the existing backup LLM provider behavior. done describes committed extraction coverage; billing delivery and derived post-processing can finish afterward. Previously extracted data remains available, and historical interactions are not automatically replayed.
The Python method returns only the status string. To obtain reason, use the authenticated HTTP request in the cURL tab above and read its JSON response.
Example: Publish and poll until done
Set REFLEXIO_URL to your server endpoint for self-hosted deployments. A configuration error continues polling within this bounded attempt; correction may take longer, so callers can poll again with the same request ID.

Type
finalize_session / finalize_session_async
Optionally indicate that a session's saved prefix is ready for evaluation. This is not required for direct publishers: the backend also evaluates incomplete windows after six hours without new publications in the same session by default.
result = client.finalize_session(user_id="user123", session_id="session-1")
# Native async:
result = await client.finalize_session_async(user_id="user123", session_id="session-1")
# Bound session:
result = client.for_session("session-1").finalize_session(user_id="user123")HTTP: POST /api/finalize_session, JSON {"user_id":"user123","session_id":"session-1"}.
Both fields are required nonempty strings. Authentication determines organization
and project. FinalizeSessionResponse contains success, accepted (whether a
saved boundary exists), and message. Success is acceptance, not completed
extraction. Unknown sessions are successful no-ops; duplicate hints do not reopen
covered input. Later messages in the same session are accepted.
Alternatively pass session_finished=True to either publish method (default
False); the final messages and completion marker commit together. The judge
still decides whether the short input warrants extraction. A negative decision is
recorded as examined. Explicit manual force_extraction retains its bypass behavior.
Config.extraction_idle_timeout_seconds defaults to 21600; zero disables idle
fallback for new publications. Policy changes apply to subsequent publications.
The delay is an operator policy, not proof a session ended. Legacy admissions
without server timing require explicit completion or normal window eligibility;
they are not automatically backfilled. Embedded use requires a live process and
reachable library handle, and reopening resumes durable work.
