Overview

Clad provides a lightweight Python SDK for secure, low-latency native ad injection in LLM workflows. It gives developers clear choices for how much memory and state they wish to handle locally or outsource to Clad’s backend.

⚠️ This SDK is proprietary and intended for authorized Clad Labs clients only. Use or redistribution without permission is strictly prohibited.

Installation

pip install clad-ai-python

Instantiating CladClient

Before calling any method, create an instance of CladClient with an API key we will provide you and (optionally) your own Redis client for production scalability.

import redis.asyncio as aioredis
from clad_ai_python import CladClient

# Example: connect to your Redis instance
r = aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost:6379/0")

clad = CladClient(
  api_key="PROVIDED_CLAD_API_KEY",
  threshold=5,          # Optional: how many messages before calling API (default: 3)
  redis_client=r        # Optional: only needed for get_processed_input_with_redis
)

Parameters:

• api_key: str — API key provided by Clad. Contact [e-mail] to get yours.
• threshold: int — Optional. Number of messages before triggering an API call. Defaults to 3.
• redis_client: Redis client — Optional. Pass your Redis client if using

Core Concepts

✅ Three modes of operation:
Each mode offers a different balance of speed, memory footprint, and infrastructure requirements. These trade-offs let you choose the best fit for your scale, cost, and reliability needs.

• get_processed_input: is fast but uses your server’s RAM (still lightweight)

• get_processed_input_fully_managed: uses no local memory but adds slight network latency to every message

• get_processed_input_with_redis: offloads state to a dedicated store for high performance and consistent scaling across servers. Fast and low memory, ideal for production but requires additional setup

Exports

get_processed_input

In this mode, the SDK uses an in-process TTL cache to track each user’s message count and context directly in your server’s RAM. This provides ultra-low latency (microseconds for reads/writes) and minimizes API calls by handling counting locally until a threshold is reached. It’s simple to set up with no extra infrastructure required. This consumes server RAM linearly with the number of active users.

Example:

clad = CladClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

response = await clad.get_processed_input(
    user_input="I'm looking for shoes",
    user_id="uuid4-from-frontend",
    discrete="true"
)

print(response["prompt"])  # Final prompt with or without ad

Parameters:

• user_input: str — Chat message
• user_id: str — UUID from frontend
• discrete: str — "true" or "false"

Returns:

{
  "prompt": str,
  "promptType": "clean" | "injected",
  "link": str,
  "discrete": "true" | "false",
  "adType": str,
  "image_url": Optional[str]
}

---

get_processed_input_fully_managed

In this mode, the SDK does not store any counters or context locally. Instead, every message from the user is sent to Clad’s backend API, which fully manages the counting, context, and injection logic server-side. This approach requires zero memory on your servers and no extra infrastructure. However, it adds slight network latency to every user message since each one must reach the API. This mode is ideal if you want Clad to handle everything automatically with no local state.

Example:

clad = CladClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

response = await clad.get_processed_input_fully_managed(
  user_input="Looking for cafes",
  user_id="uuid4-from-frontend",
  discrete="false",
  threshold=5
)

Parameters:

• Same as above, plus optional threshold: int

Returns: Same shape as above.

get_processed_input_with_redis

Use this for production — your backend stores state in your Redis instance for maximum control + scalability. In this mode, the SDK connects to a Redis instance that you deploy and manage (e.g., Redis Cloud, AWS ElastiCache). Per-user counters and context are stored efficiently in Redis RAM instead of your server RAM, enabling low-latency reads/writes (~1 ms) while sharing state consistently across multiple backend servers. This option is the most robust and production-ready choice for large user bases, offering fast performance with centralized state management and minimal local memory use.

Example:

import redis.asyncio as aioredis

r = aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost:6379/0")
clad = CladClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", redis_client=r)

response = await clad.get_processed_input_with_redis(
  user_input="Book a hotel",
  user_id="uuid4-from-frontend",
  discrete="false"
)

Parameters: Same as get_processed_input.

Generating a user_id

👉 Use the Clad React SDK to create a UUID and pass it to your backend calls.

Example:

import { getOrCreateUserId } from '@clad-ai/react';

const userId = getOrCreateUserId(); // stores in localStorage

Then pass userId to your Python server route and use it for Clad calls.
