RemoteGraph 是一个客户端接口,允许您与部署交互,就像它是本地图一样。它提供与 CompiledGraph 的 API 对等性,这意味着您可以在开发和生产环境中使用相同的方法(invoke()、stream()、get_state() 等)。本页描述如何初始化 RemoteGraph 并与其交互。
RemoteGraph 对以下情况很有用:
- 开发和部署的分离:使用
CompiledGraph在本地构建和测试图,将其部署到 LangSmith,然后使用RemoteGraph在生产中调用它,同时使用相同的 API 接口。 - 线程级持久化:使用线程 ID 持久化和获取对话状态。
- 子图嵌入:通过将
RemoteGraph作为子图嵌入另一个图中,为多智能体工作流程组合模块化图。 - 可重用工作流程:将部署的图用作节点或工具,以便您可以重用和公开复杂的逻辑。
Prerequisites
Before getting started withRemoteGraph, make sure you have:
- Access to LangSmith, where your graphs are developed and managed.
- A running Agent Server, which hosts your deployed graphs for remote interaction.
Initialize the graph
When initializing aRemoteGraph, you must always specify:
name: The name of the graph you want to interact with or an assistant ID. If you specify a graph name, the default assistant will be used. If you specify an assistant ID, that specific assistant will be used. The graph name is the same name you use in thelanggraph.jsonconfiguration file for your deployment.api_key: A valid LangSmith API key. You can set as an environment variable (LANGSMITH_API_KEY) or pass directly in theapi_keyargument. You can also provide the API key in theclient/sync_clientarguments, ifLangGraphClient/SyncLangGraphClientwas initialized with theapi_keyargument.
url: The URL of the deployment you want to interact with. If you pass theurlargument, both sync and async clients will be created using the provided URL, headers (if provided), and default configuration values (e.g., timeout).client: ALangGraphClientinstance for interacting with the deployment asynchronously (e.g., using.astream(),.ainvoke(),.aget_state(),.aupdate_state()).sync_client: ASyncLangGraphClientinstance for interacting with the deployment synchronously (e.g., using.stream(),.invoke(),.get_state(),.update_state()).
If you pass both
client or sync_client as well as the url argument, they will take precedence over the url argument. If none of the client / sync_client / url arguments are provided, RemoteGraph will raise a ValueError at runtime.Use a URL
Use a client
Invoke the graph
RemoteGraph implements the same Runnable interface as CompiledGraph, so you can use it in the same way as a compiled graph. It supports the full set of standard methods, including .invoke(), .stream(), .get_state(), and .update_state(), as well as their asynchronous variants.
Asynchronously
To use the graph asynchronously, you must provide either the
url or client when initializing the RemoteGraph.Synchronously
To use the graph synchronously, you must provide either the
url or sync_client when initializing the RemoteGraph.Persist state at the thread level
By default, graph runs (for example, calls made with.invoke() or .stream()) are stateless, which means that intermediate checkpoints and the final state are not persisted after a run.
If you want to preserve the outputs of a run—for example, to support human-in-the-loop workflows—you can create a thread and pass its ID through the config argument. This works the same way as with a regular compiled graph:
Use as a subgraph
If you need to use a
checkpointer with a graph that has a RemoteGraph subgraph node, make sure to use UUIDs as thread IDs.RemoteGraph instances as subgraph nodes. This allows for modular, scalable workflows where different responsibilities are split across separate graphs.
RemoteGraph exposes the same interface as a regular CompiledGraph, so you can use it directly as a subgraph inside another graph. For example:
