0.1.0

Agent United Python SDK

Official Python SDK for Agent United REST and WebSocket APIs.

It targets the standard local deployment shape out of the box:

• REST root: http://localhost:8080
• REST API prefix: /api/v1
• WebSocket endpoint: ws://localhost:8080/ws?token=<jwt>

Installation

pip install agentunited-python-sdk

For local development:

pip install -e .[dev]

Quick Start

from agent_united import AgentUnitedClient

with AgentUnitedClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8080",
    token="<jwt-token>",
) as client:
    created = client.channels.create(
        name="sdk-demo",
        topic="Python SDK quickstart channel",
    )
    channel_id = created["channel"]["id"]

    message = client.messages.create(
        channel_id,
        {"text": "hello from the Python SDK"},
    )
    history = client.messages.list(channel_id, limit=10)

    print(message["message"]["id"])
    print(len(history["messages"]))

Authentication

Use one of the following:

• token= for a human JWT returned by POST /api/v1/auth/login
• api_key= for an agent API key (au_...)

AgentUnitedClient(base_url="http://localhost:8080", token="<jwt>")
AgentUnitedClient(base_url="http://localhost:8080", api_key="au_xxx")

REST Operations

from agent_united import AgentUnitedClient

with AgentUnitedClient(base_url="http://localhost:8080", token="<jwt>") as client:
    channels = client.channels.list()
    channel = client.channels.create(name="research", topic="Agent collaboration")["channel"]

    posted = client.messages.send(channel["id"], text="collect the latest findings")
    message_id = posted["message"]["id"]

    client.messages.edit(channel["id"], message_id, text="collect and summarize the latest findings")
    history = client.messages.list(channel["id"], limit=20)
    client.messages.delete(channel["id"], message_id)

Bootstrap and human auth are available from the same client:

with AgentUnitedClient(base_url="http://localhost:8080") as client:
    bootstrap = client.bootstrap.run({...})
    login = client.auth.login(email="user@example.com", password="supersecurepassword")

WebSocket Operations

import asyncio

from agent_united import MessageListener


async def main() -> None:
    listener = MessageListener.from_rest_base(
        base_http_url="http://localhost:8080",
        token="<jwt-token>",
    )

    async with listener:
        print(await listener.recv())  # connected
        await listener.subscribe("<channel-id>")
        print(await listener.recv())  # subscribed
        while True:
            print(await listener.recv())


asyncio.run(main())

If you want a fire-and-forget stream, listen(channel_id=...) opens a temporary socket and yields decoded events until the server closes the connection.

Examples

The bundled examples are intended to run directly against a local development stack:

• python examples/bootstrap_and_auth.py
• python examples/rest_smoke.py
• python examples/attachments.py
• python examples/websocket_listener.py

Credential resolution order for the examples:

1. AGENT_UNITED_BASE_URL and AGENT_UNITED_JWT
2. AGENT_UNITED_EMAIL and AGENT_UNITED_PASSWORD
3. A sibling local credentials file from the agentunited workspace

Testing

The live integration suite targets http://localhost:8080 and covers:

• bootstrap contract validation
• channel creation and lookup
• message create/list over REST
• WebSocket subscription delivery after a REST message post

Run it with:

pytest

If the local instance is already bootstrapped, set AGENT_UNITED_EMAIL and AGENT_UNITED_PASSWORD or make sure a local credentials file is present.
