Python ADK (ART Development Kit)

The Python ADK enables your applications to connect and communicate with the ART (A Realtime Tech) platform in real-time. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous modes for seamless integration into any Python project.

This SDK provides everything needed to authenticate clients, establish secure connections, subscribe to channels, exchange encrypted messages, and manage collaborative real-time data — all with minimal setup.

Documentation

For complete documentation, and detailed guides, visit:

• Python ADK Documentation - Installation, authentication, and getting started.

Installation

Install the Python ADK via pip:

pip install art_adk

Requirements:

• Python 3.8+
• websockets
• aiohttp (for async operations)
• pynacl (for encryption)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before using the Python ADK, you need:

1. Client Credentials - Sign up at the ART Live Dashboard and generate your client credentials. Add the adk-service.json file to your project root:

{
  "Client-ID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
  "Client-Secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
  "Org-Title": "YOUR_ORG",
  "ProjectKey": "YOUR_PROJECT_KEY",
  "Environment": "YOUR_ENV_NAME"
}

2. Passcode for Authentication - Before connecting, you need to obtain a passcode. See the authentication guide for detailed steps on obtaining your passcode via get_security_code().

3. Start Building - Use the obtained passcode as AuthToken in your config (see Quick Start examples below).

For complete guides on authentication, channels, encryption, and advanced features, visit the Python ADK Documentation.

Quick Start

Synchronous Usage

Option 1: Context Manager

from art_adk import Adk
import os

config = {
    "ROOT": os.getcwd(),
    "Uri": "dev.arealtimetech.com/ws",
    "AuthToken": "your_passcode"  # Obtain via get_security_code()
}

# Automatic connection management
with Adk(config) as adk:
    # Subscribe to a channel
    subscription = adk.subscribe("my-channel")

    # Listen for messages
    subscription.listen(lambda data: print(f"Received: {data}"))

    # Send a message
    subscription.push("message", {"text": "Hello from ART!"})

Option 2: Manual Connection

from art_adk import Adk
import os

config = {
    "ROOT": os.getcwd(),
    "Uri": "dev.arealtimetech.com/ws",
    "AuthToken": "your_passcode"
}

adk = Adk(config)
adk.connect()

# Subscribe and interact
subscription = adk.subscribe("my-channel")
subscription.push("message", {"text": "Hello!"})

# Clean up
adk.disconnect()

Asynchronous Usage

Option 1: Async Context Manager

from art_adk import AsyncAdk
import asyncio
import os

async def main():
    config = {
        "ROOT": os.getcwd(),
        "Uri": "dev.arealtimetech.com/ws",
        "AuthToken": "your_passcode"
    }

    # Automatic async connection management
    async with AsyncAdk(config) as adk:
        # Subscribe to a channel
        subscription = await adk.subscribe("my-channel")

        # Listen for messages
        subscription.listen(lambda data: print(f"Received: {data}"))

        # Send a message
        await subscription.push("message", {"text": "Hello from ART!"})

asyncio.run(main())

Option 2: Manual Async Connection

from art_adk import AsyncAdk
import asyncio
import os

async def main():
    config = {
        "ROOT": os.getcwd(),
        "Uri": "dev.arealtimetech.com/ws",
        "AuthToken": "your_passcode"
    }

    adk = AsyncAdk(config)
    await adk.connect()

    # Subscribe and interact
    subscription = await adk.subscribe("my-channel")
    await subscription.push("message", {"text": "Hello!"})

    # Clean up
    await adk.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())
