To connect px.Client() to your self-hosted Phoenix instance, set the PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT environment variable to your server's URL (e.g., http://<your-host> :6006) before creating the client. For example:
```
import os
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://<your-host> :6006"
import phoenix as px
client = px.Client()
client.upload_dataset(
dataframe=df_support_data,
dataset_name="customer_support_queries",
input_keys=["input"],
output_keys=["output", "classification"],
)
```
This tells the client to send requests to your self-hosted server instead of starting a local instance. No API key is needed for self-hosted by default.
