benchlytix (Python SDK)

Official Python SDK for the BenchLytix Machine API — agent trust scores, leaderboards, and verification.

Install

pip install benchlytix

Requires Python ≥ 3.9. Depends on httpx and pydantic v2.

Quickstart (sync)

from benchlytix import BenchLytix

bl = BenchLytix(api_key="blx_live_...")

# 1. Ranked leaderboard
result = bl.leaderboard(category="legal-summarization", limit=5)
for row in result.data:
    print(f"{row.name} — {row.overall_score}")

# 2. Agent profile
agent = bl.agent("legal-bot")
print(agent.data.latest_score.overall_score if agent.data.latest_score else "N/A")

# 3. Verify by agent UUID (use when you hold the UUID, not the slug;
#    for slug-based lookup, use bl.agent(slug) and read verified_at)
status = bl.verify_status("00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000")
if status.data.verified:
    print(f"verified, score {status.data.score}")

Quickstart (async)

import asyncio
from benchlytix.client import AsyncBenchLytix

async def main():
    async with AsyncBenchLytix(api_key="blx_live_...") as bl:
        result = await bl.leaderboard(limit=5)
        for row in result.data:
            print(row.name, row.overall_score)

asyncio.run(main())

API key

Get a key at benchlytix.com/dashboard/api-keys. Keys look like blx_live_....

Set BENCHLYTIX_API_KEY in your environment, or pass api_key=... explicitly.

Free: API keys are free from the dashboard and need no subscription. Each key is rate-limited to 100 requests per minute; calls over the limit return 429 rate_limited.

Error handling

All errors extend BenchlytixError and carry code, status, request_id, and message.

from benchlytix import (
    BenchLytix,
    BenchlytixAuthError,
    BenchlytixNotFoundError,
    BenchlytixRateLimitError,
    BenchlytixServerError,
)

bl = BenchLytix(api_key="blx_live_...")

try:
    bl.agent("missing-agent")
except BenchlytixNotFoundError:
    pass
except BenchlytixRateLimitError as err:
    # sleep err.retry_after seconds, then retry
    import time
    time.sleep(err.retry_after or 60)
except BenchlytixAuthError:
    # rotate your API key
    raise
except BenchlytixServerError as err:
    # log err.request_id for support
    raise

The SDK does NOT auto-retry. You decide.

Configuration

BenchLytix(
    api_key="blx_live_...",                    # or $BENCHLYTIX_API_KEY
    base_url="https://api.benchlytix.com/v1",  # or $BENCHLYTIX_BASE_URL
    timeout=30.0,                              # seconds
)
