API¶
This part of the documentation covers all the public interfaces of Mimesis.
Random module¶
- class mimesis.random.Random(x=None)[source]¶
A custom random class.
It is a subclass of the
random.Randomclass from the standard library’s random module. The class incorporates additional custom methods.This class can be extended according to specific requirements.
- custom_code(mask='@###', char='@', digit='#')[source]¶
Generate custom code using ascii uppercase and random integers.
Keys module¶
The module mimesis.keys provides a set of key functions.
Key functions can be applied to fields and fieldsets using the key argument. These functions are applied after the field’s value is generated and before the field is returned to the caller.
- mimesis.keys.maybe(value, probability=0.5)[source]¶
Return a closure (a key function).
The returned closure itself returns either value or the first argument passed to closure with a certain probability (0.5 by default).
Builtin Data Providers¶
BrazilSpecProvider¶
DenmarkSpecProvider¶
NetherlandsSpecProvider¶
RussiaSpecProvider¶
- class mimesis.builtins.RussiaSpecProvider(seed=<mimesis.types._MissingSeed object>)[source]¶

Schema-based Generators¶
BaseField¶

Performs the value of the field by its name.
It takes any string which represents the name of any method of any supported data provider and the
**kwargsof this method.Note
Some data providers have methods with the same names and in such cases, you can explicitly define that the method belongs to data-provider
name='provider.name'otherwise it will return the data from the first provider which has a methodname.Allowed delimiters:
.,:,/and space:provider.nameprovider:nameprovider/nameprovider name
You can apply a key function to the result returned by the method, by passing a parameter key with a callable object which returns the final result.
The key function has the option to accept two parameters: result and random. In case you require access to a random instance within the key function, you must modify the function to accept both of them, where the first corresponds to the method result and the second corresponds to the instance of random.
- Parameters:

- Returns:
Value which represented by method.

- class mimesis.schema.Fieldset(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
Greedy fieldset (evaluates immediately).
Works like a field, but returns a list of values.
Here is usage example:
>>> fieldset = Fieldset(i=100) >>> fieldset('username') ['pot_1821', 'vhs_1915', ..., 'reviewed_1849']
You may also specify the number of iterations by passing the i keyword argument to the callable instance of fieldset:
>>> fieldset = Fieldset() >>> fieldset('username', i=2) ['pot_1821', 'vhs_1915']
When i is not specified, the reasonable default is used — 10.
See “Field vs Fieldset” section of documentation for more details.
- Variables:
fieldset_default_iterations – Default iterations. Default is 10.
fieldset_iterations_kwarg – Keyword argument for iterations. Default is i.
Schema¶
- class mimesis.schema.Schema(schema, iterations=10)[source]¶
Class which return list of filled schemas.
- create()[source]¶
Creates a list of a fulfilled schemas.
Note
This method evaluates immediately, so be careful on creating large datasets otherwise you’re risking running out of memory.
If you need a lazy version of this method, see
iterator().

- to_json(file_path, **kwargs)[source]¶
Export a schema as a JSON file.
- Parameters:
file_path (
str) – File path.kwargs (
Any) – Extra keyword arguments forjson.dump()class.
- Return type:
New in version 5.3.0
Enums¶
Implements enums for a lot of methods.
Enums from this module are used in a lot of methods. You should always import enums from this module if you want behavior for the methods that differ from the default behavior.
You should never use your own enums in methods because in this case, there no guarantee that you will get the result which you actually expected.
Below you can see an example of usage enums in methods of data providers.
