archerprotocol-sdk

Build, monetize, and publish an Archer intent from Python. This package mirrors the Node @archerprotocol/sdk builder surface; both are held to the same shared test vectors, so an envelope built here is byte-identical to one built in TypeScript.

pip install "archerprotocol-sdk[fastapi]"

One-call handler (FastAPI)

from fastapi import FastAPI
from archer_sdk import archer, require_archer_caller, BadInputError
from archer_sdk.fastapi import mount_archer_tools

app = FastAPI()

async def deposit(ctx):
    caller = require_archer_caller(ctx.args)
    amount = ctx.args.get("amount")
    if not amount:
        raise BadInputError('amount is required (e.g. "1.5")')
    return archer.envelope(
        cost=archer.cost(model="embedded", archer_fee_micro=200),
        authorizations=[
            archer.authorization(
                type="tx",
                namespace="evm",
                label=f"Deposit {amount} USDC",
                payload={"chainId": 8453, "to": "0x...", "data": "0x...", "value": "0x0"},
            )
        ],
        record=archer.record(
            record_kind="position",
            basis_micro=1_000_000,
            disclosure={"custody": "SELF", "exitModel": "PERMISSIONLESS"},
        ),
    )

mount_archer_tools(app, {"/deposit": deposit})

The handler verifies the signed Archer envelope (via archer-verify), hands you ctx.args / ctx.caller / ctx.request_id / ctx.intent_definition_id / ctx.user_id, and wraps your return in the partner response envelope. Raise BadInputError (400) or UpstreamError (503) for clean failures.

Reads

Return the flat render payload instead of an envelope:

from archer_sdk import archer

async def price_chart(ctx):
    return archer.render(
        text="ETH, last 30 days",
        embed=archer.embed.chart(chart_type="line", data=[{"x": "2026-01", "y": 3000}]),
    )

Effect inference (pre-flight)

infer_effects is the same function the platform runs server-side to decode a sign authorization into a verified, bounded confirmation. Run it locally against your descriptors to see exactly what the user's confirmation screen will derive; the platform always re-derives its own report.

from archer_sdk import infer_effects

report = await infer_effects(auth, descriptors=my_descriptors, price=my_price_fn)
assert report["verdict"] == "DECODED_BOUNDED"

Publishing

Publishing and lifecycle management use the Node CLI, which works without a Node project: npx @archerprotocol/sdk gives you archer init / publish / activate / stats.
