Features

✨ Plug-and-Play Models:

• ARIMA, Prophet, LSTM, and other ready-to-use models.
• Easy customization and extension.

🔗 Database Integration:

• Efficient connection to different database systems.
• Scripts for data import and querying.

⏰ Scheduled Execution:

• Schedule automatic model runs (cronjob-like).
• CLI and Python API for scheduling.

🔔 Dynamic Notifications:

• Send notifications via Webhook (Slack, Discord, custom APIs).
• Customizable payloads for each platform.

Installation

📦 Quick Installation (Recommended)

# Install TimeCraft with core features
pip install timecraft

# Or install with all features (AI, Web Server)
pip install timecraft[all]

🔧 Development Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rafa-mori/timecraft.git
cd timecraft

# Quick setup with development script
./dev.sh setup

# Or manual setup
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .

🎯 Optional Features

# AI features (voice, chatbot, audio processing)
pip install timecraft[ai]

# Web server and API features
pip install timecraft[web]

# Database connectors (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)
pip install timecraft[db]

# Development tools
pip install timecraft[dev]

---

Usage

🐍 Python Usage (Recommended)

import timecraft

# Check available features
print(f"AI available: {timecraft.AI_AVAILABLE}")
print(f"Version: {timecraft.__version__}")

# Create and use TimeCraft model
model = timecraft.TimeCraftAI()
data = model.load_data("data/hist_cambio.csv")
forecasts = model.forecast(data, periods=30)

# If AI features are available
if timecraft.AI_AVAILABLE:
    chatbot = timecraft.ChatbotActions()
    response = chatbot.process_query("Analyze my data")

🖥️ CLI Usage

# Run quick test
python examples/quick_test.py

# Run demo
python examples/demo_basic.py

# Development mode
./dev.sh test

📊 Advanced Examples

import timecraft

# Database connection
db = timecraft.DatabaseConnector()
data = db.query("SELECT * FROM timeseries_data")

# Machine learning models
lr = timecraft.LinearRegression()
lr.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Forecasting with Prophet (if available)
model = timecraft.TimeCraftAI()
forecasts = model.forecast_prophet(data)

Command and Flag Descriptions

• --data: Path to the data file.
• --date_column: Name of the date column.
• --value_columns: Value columns to analyze.
• --is_csv: Indicates if the file is CSV.
• --model: Model type (timecraft, classifier, regression).

---

Configuration

TimeCraft can be configured via command-line arguments or directly in Python code. For advanced configurations, see the examples in the /tutorials folder.

---

Scheduled Execution

TimeCraft allows you to schedule automatic model runs, similar to a cronjob.

Via CLI:

python -m timecraft_ai schedule <interval_seconds> <model>

• <interval_seconds>: interval between executions (e.g., 600 for 10 minutes)
• <model>: model type (timecraft, classifier, regression)

Via Python:

from timecraft_ai import run_scheduled
run_scheduled(model.run, interval_seconds=600)

The scheduler runs in the background and can be stopped with Ctrl+C.

---

Webhook Notifications

TimeCraft supports sending notifications to webhooks after model runs or analyses. Ideal for automation, monitoring, or integration with other systems (Slack, Discord, custom APIs).

How it works

• Pass the webhook_url parameter to the run or run_analysis methods.
• When finished, a POST with a JSON payload is sent to the URL.
• Extra fields can be added via webhook_payload_extra.

Example:

model.run(webhook_url="https://your-webhook.com/webhook")

With extra payload:

model.run(
    webhook_url="https://your-webhook.com/webhook",
    webhook_payload_extra={"user": "rafa", "run_type": "nightly"}
)

Slack:

model.run(
    webhook_url="https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ",
    webhook_payload_extra={"text": "TimeCraft finished!"}
)

Discord:

model.run(
    webhook_url="https://discord.com/api/webhooks/XXX/YYY",
    webhook_payload_extra={"content": "TimeCraft finished!"}
)

The payload can be customized for each platform using webhook_payload_extra.
