SDK Installation

[!NOTE] Python version upgrade policy

Once a Python version reaches its official end of life datearrow-up-right, a 3-month grace period is provided for users to upgrade. Following this grace period, the minimum python version supported in the SDK will be updated.

The SDK can be installed with uv, pip, or poetry package managers.

uv

uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver, designed as a drop-in replacement for pip and pip-tools. It's recommended for its speed and modern Python tooling capabilities.

PIP

PIP is the default package installer for Python, enabling easy installation and management of packages from PyPI via the command line.

Poetry

Poetry is a modern tool that simplifies dependency management and package publishing by using a single pyproject.toml file to handle project metadata and dependencies.

Shell and script usage with uv

You can use this SDK in a Python shell with uvarrow-up-right and the uvx command that comes with it like so:

It's also possible to write a standalone Python script without needing to set up a whole project like so:

Once that is saved to a file, you can run it with uv run script.py where script.py can be replaced with the actual file name.

IDE Support

PyCharm

Generally, the SDK will work well with most IDEs out of the box. However, when using PyCharm, you can enjoy much better integration with Pydantic by installing an additional plugin.

SDK Example Usage

Example

The same SDK client can also be used to make asynchronous requests by importing asyncio.

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name
Type
Scheme

bearer_auth

http

HTTP Bearer

To authenticate with the API the bearer_auth parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

Pagination

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned response object will have a Next method that can be called to pull down the next group of results. If the return value of Next is None, then there are no more pages to be fetched.

Here's an example of one such pagination call:

File uploads

Certain SDK methods accept file objects as part of a request body or multi-part request. It is possible and typically recommended to upload files as a stream rather than reading the entire contents into memory. This avoids excessive memory consumption and potentially crashing with out-of-memory errors when working with very large files. The following example demonstrates how to attach a file stream to a request.

[!TIP]

For endpoints that handle file uploads bytes arrays can also be used. However, using streams is recommended for large files.

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a RetryConfig object to the call:

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the retry_config optional parameter when initializing the SDK:

Error Handling

SquadcastSDKErrorarrow-up-right is the base class for all HTTP error responses. It has the following properties:

Property
Type
Description

err.message

str

Error message

err.status_code

int

HTTP response status code eg 404

err.headers

httpx.Headers

HTTP response headers

err.body

str

HTTP body. Can be empty string if no body is returned.

err.raw_response

httpx.Response

Raw HTTP response

err.data

Optional. Some errors may contain structured data. See Error Classes.

Server Selection

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

Custom HTTP Client

The Python SDK makes API calls using the httpxarrow-up-right HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with your own HTTP client instance. Depending on whether you are using the sync or async version of the SDK, you can pass an instance of HttpClient or AsyncHttpClient respectively, which are Protocol's ensuring that the client has the necessary methods to make API calls. This allows you to wrap the client with your own custom logic, such as adding custom headers, logging, or error handling, or you can just pass an instance of httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient directly.

For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:

or you could wrap the client with your own custom logic:

Resource Management

The SquadcastSDK class implements the context manager protocol and registers a finalizer function to close the underlying sync and async HTTPX clients it uses under the hood. This will close HTTP connections, release memory and free up other resources held by the SDK. In short-lived Python programs and notebooks that make a few SDK method calls, resource management may not be a concern. However, in longer-lived programs, it is beneficial to create a single SDK instance via a context managerarrow-up-right and reuse it across the application.

Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass your own logger class directly into your SDK.

Development

Maturity

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.

Contributions

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
