Question 1

How do I install Jev.TypeSafe.Unofficial?

Accepted Answer

Run dotnet add package Jev.TypeSafe.Unofficial --prerelease. The package targets .NET Standard 2.0 and is community-maintained, not affiliated with TypeSafe AI.

Question 2

How do I authenticate the client?

Accepted Answer

Set the TYPESAFE_API_KEY environment variable, or pass ApiKey in TypeSafeClientOptions. Explicit options take precedence over environment variables, which take precedence over defaults.

Question 3

What question types can I ask with this SDK?

Accepted Answer

You can add Noul questions for yes/no probabilities, Choice questions with labels or enums, and Score questions with at least two descriptions indexed from zero. Each returns a strongly typed answer.

Question 4

What happens when the API returns an unrecognized answer type?

Accepted Answer

The SDK maps it to UnknownAnswer and preserves the full JSON in the Raw property, so newer server answer types do not break deserialization.

Question 5

How are retries and timeouts configured?

Accepted Answer

Connection errors, timeouts, HTTP 408, 429, and 5xx are retried up to twice by default with exponential backoff and jitter. RetryPolicy is an immutable record, and per-attempt timeout defaults to 10 seconds.

Question 6

Is the API key exposed in logs or exceptions?

Accepted Answer

No. The digest states the API key is never exposed through properties, ToString(), exceptions, or logs.

Question 7

When should I avoid using this SDK?

Accepted Answer

Avoid it if you require an officially supported TypeSafe AI SDK; this package is community-maintained and explicitly not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by TypeSafe AI.
