from arize.pandas.logger import Client, Schema
from arize.utils.types import ModelTypes, Environments, Schema, Metrics
import pandas as pd

SPACE_ID = "SPACE_ID" #  update value here with your Space ID
API_KEY = "API_KEY"  # update value here with your API key

arize_client = Client(space_id=SPACE_ID, api_key=API_KEY)
