chatads-sdk 0.1.7

Lightweight Python client for the ChatAds affiliate scoring API

ChatAds Python SDK

A tiny, dependency-light wrapper around the ChatAds /v1/chatads/messages endpoint. It mirrors the response payloads returned by the FastAPI service so you can drop it into CLIs, serverless functions, or orchestration tools.

Installation

pip install chatads-sdk

The package is published on PyPI. Install from source only if you're developing locally.

Quickstart

from chatads_sdk import ChatAdsClient, AsyncChatAdsClient, FunctionItemPayload

# Synchronous usage
with ChatAdsClient(
    api_key="YOUR_X_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://<your-chatads-domain>",
    raise_on_failure=True,
    max_retries=2,
    retry_backoff_factor=0.75,
) as client:
    payload = FunctionItemPayload(
        message="Looking for a CRM to close more deals",
        ip="1.2.3.4",
        user_agent="Mozilla/5.0",
    )
    result = client.analyze(payload)
    if result.success:
        print(result.data.ad)
    else:
        print(result.error.code, result.error.message)

# Async usage
async with AsyncChatAdsClient(
    api_key="YOUR_X_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://<your-chatads-domain>",
    max_retries=3,
) as async_client:
    result = await async_client.analyze_message("Need data warehousing ideas", country="US")
    print(result.raw)

Error Handling

Non-2xx responses raise ChatAdsAPIError and include the parsed error payload plus the original HTTP status code so you can branch on quota/validation failures. Set raise_on_failure=True if you want 200 responses with success=false to raise the same exception class.

Notes

• Retries are opt-in. Provide max_retries>0 to automatically retry transport errors and retryable status codes. The client honors Retry-After headers and falls back to exponential backoff.
• base_url must point to your HTTPS deployment (the client rejects plaintext URLs so API keys are never transmitted insecurely).
• The default hosted environment lives at https://chatads--chatads-api-fastapiserver-serve.modal.run; use your own domain if you're proxying ChatAds behind something else.
• FunctionItemPayload matches the server-side FunctionItem pydantic model. Keyword arguments passed to ChatAdsClient.analyze_message() accept either snake_case (user_agent) or camelCase (userAgent) keys.
• Reserved payload keys (e.g., message, pageUrl, userAgent) cannot be overridden through extra_fields; doing so raises ValueError to prevent silent mutations.
• debug=True enables structured request/response logging, but payload contents are redacted automatically so you don't leak PII into logs.

CLI Smoke Test

For a super-quick check, either edit the config block at the top of run_sdk_smoke.py or set:

export CHATADS_API_KEY="..."
export CHATADS_BASE_URL="https://chatads--chatads-api-fastapiserver-serve.modal.run"
export CHATADS_MESSAGE="Looking for ergonomic office chairs"
# Optional extras
export CHATADS_IP="1.2.3.4"
export CHATADS_COUNTRY="US"

Then run:

python run_sdk_smoke.py

It prints the raw JSON response or surfaces a ChatAdsAPIError with status/error fields so you can see exactly what the API returned.
