Abyssale Python SDK

Official Python client for the Abyssale API — generate images, videos, HTML5 banners and print-ready PDFs from your designs.

📖 Full reference: developers.abyssale.com/sdks/python — every method, configuration, error handling, retry behaviour and the polling helpers.

Install

pip install abyssale

Requires Python 3.10+. This release models API version v2026-10-01 — see CHANGELOG.md for the SDK-to-API version pairing, and abyssale.__api_version__ to read it at runtime.

Quick start

from abyssale import Abyssale

with Abyssale() as client:                      # reads ABYSSALE_API_KEY
    design = client.get_design("64238d01-d402-474b-8c2d-fbc957e9d290")

    banner = client.generate_image(design.id, {
        "elements": {"text_title": {"payload": "Summer sale — 40% off"}},
        "template_format_name": "facebook-feed",
    })
    print(banner.file.cdn_url)

Async is the same surface:

import asyncio
from abyssale import AsyncAbyssale

async def main():
    async with AsyncAbyssale() as client:
        accepted = await client.generate_multi_format_media(design_id, {
            "elements": {"text_title": {"payload": "Summer sale — 40% off"}},
            "template_format_names": ["facebook-feed", "instagram-post"],
        })
        result = await client.wait_for_generation_request(accepted.generation_request_id)
        for banner in result.banners:
            print(banner.file.cdn_url)

asyncio.run(main())

Methods return the result and raise on failure. Branch on the API's machine-readable id, never on the message:

from abyssale import AbyssaleAPIError

try:
    client.generate_image(design_id, {...})
except AbyssaleAPIError as err:
    print(err.status, err.id, err.message, err.errors)

What you get

• 22 methods, sync and async, one per API operation, named after its operationId snake_cased, plus two wait_for_* polling helpers — every method
• Typed responses, permissive request bodies — responses are pydantic models that never fail a 200, request bodies pass through untouched — request bodies and responses
• A typed exception hierarchy carrying the API's id, errors and retry_after — errors
• Narrow retries and a per-attempt timeout, configurable per client or by environment (ABYSSALE_API_KEY, ABYSSALE_TIMEOUT_MS, ABYSSALE_MAX_RETRIES, ABYSSALE_MAX_RETRY_WAIT_MS) — configuration · what is retried, and what is not
• Webhook signature verification in abyssale.webhooks, which imports only the standard library — no client and no API key needed in a receiver process — signature verification

Examples

Runnable scripts are in examples/, including a complete webhook receiver. Each one names its own command:

ABYSSALE_API_KEY=your-key python examples/generate_image.py
