Base64Bytes module-attribute 

Base64Bytes = Annotated[
    bytes, EncodedBytes(encoder=Base64Encoder)
]

A bytes type that is encoded and decoded using the standard (non-URL-safe) base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64Bytes uses the standard library base64.b64encode and base64.b64decode functions.

As a result, attempting to decode url-safe base64 data using the Base64Bytes type may fail or produce an incorrect decoding.

Warning

In versions of Pydantic prior to v2.10, Base64Bytes used base64.encodebytes and base64.decodebytes functions. According to the base64 documentation, these methods are considered legacy implementation, and thus, Pydantic v2.10+ now uses the modern base64.b64encode and base64.b64decode functions.

If you'd still like to use these legacy encoders / decoders, you can achieve this by creating a custom annotated type, like follows:

import base64
from typing import Literal

from pydantic_core import PydanticCustomError
from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic import EncodedBytes, EncoderProtocol

class LegacyBase64Encoder(EncoderProtocol):
    @classmethod
    def decode(cls, data: bytes) -> bytes:
        try:
            return base64.decodebytes(data)
        except ValueError as e:
            raise PydanticCustomError(
                'base64_decode',
                "Base64 decoding error: '{error}'",
                {'error': str(e)},
            )

    @classmethod
    def encode(cls, value: bytes) -> bytes:
        return base64.encodebytes(value)

    @classmethod
    def get_json_format(cls) -> Literal['base64']:
        return 'base64'

LegacyBase64Bytes = Annotated[bytes, EncodedBytes(encoder=LegacyBase64Encoder)]

    '''

Base64Str module-attribute 

Base64Str = Annotated[
    str, EncodedStr(encoder=Base64Encoder)
]

A str type that is encoded and decoded using the standard (non-URL-safe) base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64Str uses the standard library base64.b64encode and base64.b64decode functions.

As a result, attempting to decode url-safe base64 data using the Base64Str type may fail or produce an incorrect decoding.

Warning

In versions of Pydantic prior to v2.10, Base64Str used base64.encodebytes and base64.decodebytes functions. According to the base64 documentation, these methods are considered legacy implementation, and thus, Pydantic v2.10+ now uses the modern base64.b64encode and base64.b64decode functions.

See the Base64Bytes type for more information on how to replicate the old behavior with the legacy encoders / decoders.

from pydantic import Base64Str, BaseModel, ValidationError

Base64UrlBytes module-attribute 

Base64UrlBytes = Annotated[
    bytes, EncodedBytes(encoder=Base64UrlEncoder)
]

A bytes type that is encoded and decoded using the URL-safe base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64UrlBytes use standard library base64.urlsafe_b64encode and base64.urlsafe_b64decode functions.

As a result, the Base64UrlBytes type can be used to faithfully decode "vanilla" base64 data (using '+' and '/').

from pydantic import Base64UrlBytes, BaseModel

class Model(BaseModel):
    base64url_bytes: Base64UrlBytes

# Initialize the model with base64 data
m = Model(base64url_bytes=b'SHc_dHc-TXc==')

#> base64url_bytes=b'Hw?tw>Mw'

Base64UrlStr module-attribute 

Base64UrlStr = Annotated[
    str, EncodedStr(encoder=Base64UrlEncoder)
]

A str type that is encoded and decoded using the URL-safe base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64UrlStr use standard library base64.urlsafe_b64encode and base64.urlsafe_b64decode functions.

As a result, the Base64UrlStr type can be used to faithfully decode "vanilla" base64 data (using '+' and '/').

from pydantic import Base64UrlStr, BaseModel

class Model(BaseModel):
    base64url_str: Base64UrlStr

# Initialize the model with base64 data
m = Model(base64url_str='SHc_dHc-TXc==')
print(m)
#> base64url_str='Hw?tw>Mw'

JsonValue module-attribute 

JsonValue: TypeAlias = Union[
    List["JsonValue"],
    Dict[str, "JsonValue"],
    str,
    bool,
    int,
    float,
    None,
]

A JsonValue is used to represent a value that can be serialized to JSON.

It may be one of:

  • List['JsonValue']
  • Dict[str, 'JsonValue']
  • str
  • bool
  • int
  • float
  • None

The following example demonstrates how to use JsonValue to validate JSON data, and what kind of errors to expect when input data is not json serializable.

import json

from pydantic import BaseModel, JsonValue, ValidationError

class Model(BaseModel):
    j: JsonValue

valid_json_data = {'j': {'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': [2, None]}}}}
invalid_json_data = {'j': {'a': {'b': ...}}}

print(repr(Model.model_validate(valid_json_data)))
#> Model(j={'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': [2, None]}}})
print(repr(Model.model_validate_json(json.dumps(valid_json_data))))
#> Model(j={'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': [2, None]}}})

try:
    Model.model_validate(invalid_json_data)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for Model
    j.dict.a.dict.b

OnErrorOmit module-attribute 

OnErrorOmit = Annotated[T, _OnErrorOmit]

When used as an item in a list, the key type in a dict, optional values of a TypedDict, etc. this annotation omits the item from the iteration if there is any error validating it. That is, instead of a ValidationError being propagated up and the entire iterable being discarded any invalid items are discarded and the valid ones are returned.

    A field metadata class to apply constraints to `str` types.
    Use this class as an annotation via [`Annotated`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Annotated), as seen below.

    Attributes:
        strip_whitespace: Whether to remove leading and trailing whitespace.
        to_upper: Whether to convert the string to uppercase.
        to_lower: Whether to convert the string to lowercase.
        strict: Whether to validate the string in strict mode.
        min_length: The minimum length of the string.
        max_length: The maximum length of the string.
        pattern: A regex pattern that the string must match.

    Example:
        ```python
        from typing_extensions import Annotated

        from pydantic.types import StringConstraints

        ConstrainedStr = Annotated[str, StringConstraints(min_length=1, max_length=10)]

ImportString

A type that can be used to import a Python object from a string.

ImportString expects a string and loads the Python object importable at that dotted path. Attributes of modules may be separated from the module by : or ., e.g. if 'math:cos' is provided, the resulting field value would be the function cos. If a . is used and both an attribute and submodule are present at the same path, the module will be preferred.

On model instantiation, pointers will be evaluated and imported. There is some nuance to this behavior, demonstrated in the examples below.

import math

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, ImportString, ValidationError

class ImportThings(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString

# A string value will cause an automatic import
my_cos = ImportThings(obj='math.cos')

# You can use the imported function as you would expect
cos_of_0 = my_cos.obj(0)
assert cos_of_0 == 1

# A string whose value cannot be imported will raise an error
try:
    ImportThings(obj='foo.bar')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for ImportThings
    obj
      Invalid python path: No module named 'foo.bar' [type=import_error, input_value='foo.bar', input_type=str]
    '''

# Actual python objects can be assigned as well
my_cos = ImportThings(obj=math.cos)
my_cos_2 = ImportThings(obj='math.cos')
my_cos_3 = ImportThings(obj='math:cos')
assert my_cos == my_cos_2 == my_cos_3

# You can set default field value either as Python object:
class ImportThingsDefaultPyObj(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString = math.cos

# or as a string value (but only if used with `validate_default=True`)
class ImportThingsDefaultString(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString = Field(default='math.cos', validate_default=True)

my_cos_default1 = ImportThingsDefaultPyObj()
my_cos_default2 = ImportThingsDefaultString()
assert my_cos_default1.obj == my_cos_default2.obj == math.cos

# note: this will not work!
class ImportThingsMissingValidateDefault(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString = 'math.cos'

my_cos_default3 = ImportThingsMissingValidateDefault()
assert my_cos_default3.obj == 'math.cos'  # just string, not evaluated

Serializing an ImportString type to json is also possible.

Json

A special type wrapper which loads JSON before parsing.

You can use the Json data type to make Pydantic first load a raw JSON string before validating the loaded data into the parametrized type:

from typing import Any, List

from pydantic import BaseModel, Json, ValidationError

class AnyJsonModel(BaseModel):
    json_obj: Json[Any]

class ConstrainedJsonModel(BaseModel):
    json_obj: Json[List[int]]

print(AnyJsonModel(json_obj='{"b": 1}'))
#> json_obj={'b': 1}
print(ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='[1, 2, 3]'))
#> json_obj=[1, 2, 3]

try:
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj=12)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for ConstrainedJsonModel
    json_obj
      JSON input should be string, bytes or bytearray [type=json_type, input_value=12, input_type=int]
    '''

try:
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='[a, b]')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for ConstrainedJsonModel
    json_obj
      Invalid JSON: expected value at line 1 column 2 [type=json_invalid, input_value='[a, b]', input_type=str]
    '''

try:
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='["a", "b"]')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    2 validation errors for ConstrainedJsonModel
    json_obj.0
      Input should be a valid integer, unable to parse string as an integer [type=int_parsing, input_value='a', input_type=str]
    json_obj.1
      Input should be a valid integer, unable to parse string as an integer [type=int_parsing, input_value='b', input_type=str]

When you dump the model using model_dump or model_dump_json, the dumped value will be the result of validation, not the original JSON string. However, you can use the argument round_trip=True to get the original JSON string back:

Secret

Bases: _SecretBase[SecretType]

A generic base class used for defining a field with sensitive information that you do not want to be visible in logging or tracebacks.

You may either directly parametrize Secret with a type, or subclass from Secret with a parametrized type. The benefit of subclassing is that you can define a custom _display method, which will be used for repr() and str() methods. The examples below demonstrate both ways of using Secret to create a new secret type.

  1. Directly parametrizing Secret with a type:
from pydantic import BaseModel, Secret

SecretBool = Secret[bool]

class Model(BaseModel):
    secret_bool: SecretBool

m = Model(secret_bool=True)
print(m.model_dump())
#> {'secret_bool': Secret('**********')}

print(m.model_dump_json())
#> {"secret_bool":"**********"}

print(m.secret_bool.get_secret_value())
#> True
  1. Subclassing from parametrized Secret:
from datetime import date

from pydantic import BaseModel, Secret

class SecretDate(Secret[date]):
    def _display(self) -> str:
        return '****/**/**'

class Model(BaseModel):
    secret_date: SecretDate

m = Model(secret_date=date(2022, 1, 1))
print(m.model_dump())
#> {'secret_date': SecretDate('****/**/**')}

print(m.model_dump_json())
#> {"secret_date":"****/**/**"}

print(m.secret_date.get_secret_value())
#> 2022-01-01

The value returned by the _display method will be used for repr() and str().

You can enforce constraints on the underlying type through annotations: For example:

from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, Secret, ValidationError

SecretPosInt = Secret[Annotated[int, Field(gt=0, strict=True)]]

class Model(BaseModel):
    sensitive_int: SecretPosInt

m = Model(sensitive_int=42)
print(m.model_dump())
#> {'sensitive_int': Secret('**********')}

try:
    m = Model(sensitive_int=-42)  # (1)!
except ValidationError as exc_info:
    print(exc_info.errors(include_url=False, include_input=False))
    '''
    [
        {
            'type': 'greater_than',
            'loc': ('sensitive_int',),
            'msg': 'Input should be greater than 0',
            'ctx': {'gt': 0},
        }
    ]
    '''

try:
    m = Model(sensitive_int='42')  # (2)!
except ValidationError as exc_info:
    print(exc_info.errors(include_url=False, include_input=False))
    '''
    [
        {
            'type': 'int_type',
            'loc': ('sensitive_int',),
            'msg': 'Input should be a valid integer',
        }
    ]
    '''
  1. The input value is not greater than 0, so it raises a validation error.
  2. The input value is not an integer, so it raises a validation error because the SecretPosInt type has strict mode enabled.

    """A generic base class used for defining a field with sensitive information that you do not want to be visible in logging or tracebacks.

    You may either directly parametrize `Secret` with a type, or subclass from `Secret` with a parametrized type. The benefit of subclassing
    is that you can define a custom `_display` method, which will be used for `repr()` and `str()` methods. The examples below demonstrate both
    ways of using `Secret` to create a new secret type.

    1. Directly parametrizing `Secret` with a type:

    ```py
    from pydantic import BaseModel, Secret

    SecretBool = Secret[bool]

    class Model(BaseModel):
        secret_bool: SecretBool

    m = Model(secret_bool=True)
    print(m.model_dump())
    #> {'secret_bool': Secret('**********')}

    print(m.model_dump_json())
    #> {"secret_bool":"**********"}

    print(m.secret_bool.get_secret_value())
    #> True
    ```

    2. Subclassing from parametrized `Secret`:

    ```py
    from datetime import date

    from pydantic import BaseModel, Secret

    class SecretDate(Secret[date]):
        def _display(self) -> str:
            return '****/**/**'

    class Model(BaseModel):
        secret_date: SecretDate

    m = Model(secret_date=date(2022, 1, 1))
    print(m.model_dump())
    #> {'secret_date': SecretDate('****/**/**')}

    print(m.model_dump_json())
    #> {"secret_date":"****/**/**"}

    print(m.secret_date.get_secret_value())
    #> 2022-01-01
    ```

    The value returned by the `_display` method will be used for `repr()` and `str()`.

SecretStr

Bases: _SecretField[str]

A string used for storing sensitive information that you do not want to be visible in logging or tracebacks.

When the secret value is nonempty, it is displayed as '**********' instead of the underlying value in calls to repr() and str(). If the value is empty, it is displayed as ''.

from pydantic import BaseModel, SecretStr

As seen above, by default, SecretStr (and SecretBytes) will be serialized as ********** when serializing to json.

ByteSize

Bases: int

Converts a string representing a number of bytes with units (such as '1KB' or '11.5MiB') into an integer.

You can use the ByteSize data type to (case-insensitively) convert a string representation of a number of bytes into an integer, and also to print out human-readable strings representing a number of bytes.

In conformance with IEC 80000-13 Standard we interpret '1KB' to mean 1000 bytes, and '1KiB' to mean 1024 bytes. In general, including a middle 'i' will cause the unit to be interpreted as a power of 2, rather than a power of 10 (so, for example, '1 MB' is treated as 1_000_000 bytes, whereas '1 MiB' is treated as 1_048_576 bytes).

Info

Note that 1b will be parsed as "1 byte" and not "1 bit".

GetPydanticSchema dataclass

Usage Documentation

Using GetPydanticSchema to reduce boilerplate

A convenience class for creating an annotation that provides pydantic custom type hooks.

This class is intended to eliminate the need to create a custom "marker" which defines the __get_pydantic_core_schema__ and __get_pydantic_json_schema__ custom hook methods.

For example, to have a field treated by type checkers as int, but by pydantic as Any, you can do: 

from typing import Any

from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic import BaseModel, GetPydanticSchema

HandleAsAny = GetPydanticSchema(lambda _s, h: h(Any))

class Model(BaseModel):
    x: Annotated[int, HandleAsAny]  # pydantic sees `x: Any`

print(repr(Model(x='abc').x))
#> 'abc'

Tag dataclass

Provides a way to specify the expected tag to use for a case of a (callable) discriminated union.

Also provides a way to label a union case in error messages.

When using a callable Discriminator, attach a Tag to each case in the Union to specify the tag that should be used to identify that case. For example, in the below example, the Tag is used to specify that if get_discriminator_value returns 'apple', the input should be validated as an ApplePie, and if it returns 'pumpkin', the input should be validated as a PumpkinPie.

The primary role of the Tag here is to map the return value from the callable Discriminator function to the appropriate member of the Union in question.

from typing import Any, Union

from typing_extensions import Annotated, Literal

from pydantic import BaseModel, Discriminator, Tag

class Pie(BaseModel):
    time_to_cook: int
    num_ingredients: int

class ApplePie(Pie):
    fruit: Literal['apple'] = 'apple'

class PumpkinPie(Pie):
    filling: Literal['pumpkin'] = 'pumpkin'

def get_discriminator_value(v: Any) -> str:
    if isinstance(v, dict):
        return v.get('fruit', v.get('filling'))
    return getattr(v, 'fruit', getattr(v, 'filling', None))

class ThanksgivingDinner(BaseModel):
    dessert: Annotated[
        Union[
            Annotated[ApplePie, Tag('apple')],
            Annotated[PumpkinPie, Tag('pumpkin')],
        ],
        Discriminator(get_discriminator_value),
    ]

apple_variation = ThanksgivingDinner.model_validate(
    {'dessert': {'fruit': 'apple', 'time_to_cook': 60, 'num_ingredients': 8}}
)
print(repr(apple_variation))
'''
ThanksgivingDinner(dessert=ApplePie(time_to_cook=60, num_ingredients=8, fruit='apple'))
'''

pumpkin_variation = ThanksgivingDinner.model_validate(
    {
        'dessert': {
            'filling': 'pumpkin',
            'time_to_cook': 40,
            'num_ingredients': 6,
        }
    }
)
print(repr(pumpkin_variation))
'''
ThanksgivingDinner(dessert=PumpkinPie(time_to_cook=40, num_ingredients=6, filling='pumpkin'))
'''

Note

You must specify a Tag for every case in a Tag that is associated with a callable Discriminator. Failing to do so will result in a PydanticUserError with code callable-discriminator-no-tag.

See the Discriminated Unions concepts docs for more details on how to use Tags.

    """Provides a way to specify the expected tag to use for a case of a (callable) discriminated union.

    Also provides a way to label a union case in error messages.

    When using a callable `Discriminator`, attach a `Tag` to each case in the `Union` to specify the tag that
    should be used to identify that case. For example, in the below example, the `Tag` is used to specify that
    if `get_discriminator_value` returns `'apple'`, the input should be validated as an `ApplePie`, and if it
    returns `'pumpkin'`, the input should be validated as a `PumpkinPie`.

    The primary role of the `Tag` here is to map the return value from the callable `Discriminator` function to
    the appropriate member of the `Union` in question.

Usage Documentation

Discriminated Unions with callable Discriminator

Provides a way to use a custom callable as the way to extract the value of a union discriminator.

This allows you to get validation behavior like you'd get from Field(discriminator=<field_name>), but without needing to have a single shared field across all the union choices. This also makes it possible to handle unions of models and primitive types with discriminated-union-style validation errors. Finally, this allows you to use a custom callable as the way to identify which member of a union a value belongs to, while still seeing all the performance benefits of a discriminated union.

Consider this example, which is much more performant with the use of Discriminator and thus a TaggedUnion than it would be as a normal Union.

FailFast dataclass

Bases: PydanticMetadata, BaseMetadata

A FailFast annotation can be used to specify that validation should stop at the first error.

This can be useful when you want to validate a large amount of data and you only need to know if it's valid or not.

You might want to enable this setting if you want to validate your data faster (basically, if you use this, validation will be more performant with the caveat that you get less information).

from typing import List

from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic import BaseModel, FailFast, ValidationError

class Model(BaseModel):

# This will raise a single error for the first invalid value and stop validation

except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)

Discouraged

This function is discouraged in favor of using Annotated with Field instead.

This function will be deprecated in Pydantic 3.0.

The reason is that conint returns a type, which doesn't play well with static analysis tools.

    bar: conint(strict=True, gt=0)

from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class Foo(BaseModel):
    bar: Annotated[int, Field(strict=True, gt=0)]

A wrapper around int that allows for additional constraints.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
strict bool | None

Whether to validate the integer in strict mode. Defaults to None.

 None
gt int | None

The value must be greater than this.

 None
ge int | None

The value must be greater than or equal to this.

 None
lt int | None

The value must be less than this.

 None
le int | None

The value must be less than or equal to this.

 None
multiple_of int | None

The value must be a multiple of this.

 None

Returns:

Type Description
type[int]

The wrapped integer type.

Discouraged

This function is discouraged in favor of using Annotated with Field instead.

This function will be deprecated in Pydantic 3.0.

The reason is that condecimal returns a type, which doesn't play well with static analysis tools.
