Official Python SDK for ExosphereHost

ExosphereHost Python SDK

The official Python SDK for ExosphereHost - an open-source infrastructure layer for background AI workflows and agents. This SDK enables you to create distributed, stateful applications using a node-based architecture.

Overview

ExosphereHost provides a robust, affordable, and effortless infrastructure for building scalable AI workflows and agents. The Python SDK allows you to:

• Create distributed workflows using a simple node-based architecture.
• Build stateful applications that can scale across multiple compute resources.
• Execute complex AI workflows with automatic state management.
• Integrate with the ExosphereHost platform for optimized performance.

Installation

pip install exospherehost

Quick Start

Important: In v1, all fields in Inputs, Outputs, and Secrets must be strings. If you need to pass complex data (e.g., JSON), serialize the data to a string first, then parse that string within your node.

Basic Node Creation

Create a simple node that processes data:

from exospherehost import Runtime, BaseNode
from pydantic import BaseModel

class SampleNode(BaseNode):
    class Inputs(BaseModel):
        name: str
        data: str  # v1: strings only

    class Outputs(BaseModel):
        message: str
        processed_data: str  # v1: strings only

    async def execute(self) -> Outputs:
        print(f"Processing data for: {self.inputs.name}")
        # Your processing logic here; serialize complex data to strings (e.g., JSON)
        processed_data = f"completed:{self.inputs.data}"
        return self.Outputs(
            message="success",
            processed_data=processed_data
        )

# Initialize the runtime
Runtime(
    namespace="MyProject",
    name="DataProcessor",
    nodes=[SampleNode]
).start()

Environment Configuration

The SDK requires the following environment variables for authentication with ExosphereHost:

export EXOSPHERE_STATE_MANAGER_URI="your-state-manager-uri"
export EXOSPHERE_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Key Features

• Distributed Execution: Run nodes across multiple compute resources
• State Management: Automatic state persistence and recovery
• Type Safety: Full Pydantic integration for input/output validation
• String-only data model (v1): All Inputs, Outputs, and Secrets fields are strings. Serialize non-string data (e.g., JSON) as needed.
• Async Support: Native async/await support for high-performance operations
• Error Handling: Built-in retry mechanisms and error recovery
• Scalability: Designed for high-volume batch processing and workflows
• Graph Store (beta): Strings-only key-value store with per-run scope for sharing data across nodes (not durable across separate runs or clusters)

Architecture

The SDK is built around two core concepts:

Runtime

The Runtime class manages the execution environment and coordinates with the ExosphereHost state manager. It handles:

• Node lifecycle management
• State coordination
• Error handling and recovery
• Resource allocation

Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of your workflows. Each node:

• Defines input/output schemas using Pydantic models
• Implements an execute method for processing logic
• Can be connected to other nodes to form workflows
• Automatically handles state persistence

Advanced Usage

Custom Node Configuration

class ConfigurableNode(BaseNode):
    class Inputs(BaseModel):
        text: str
        max_length: str = "100"  # v1: strings only

    class Outputs(BaseModel):
        result: str
        length: str  # v1: strings only

    async def execute(self) -> Outputs:
        max_length = int(self.inputs.max_length)
        result = self.inputs.text[:max_length]
        return self.Outputs(result=result, length=str(len(result)))

Error Handling

class RobustNode(BaseNode):
    class Inputs(BaseModel):
        data: str

    class Outputs(BaseModel):
        success: str
        result: str

    async def execute(self) -> Outputs:
        raise Exception("This is a test error")

Error handling is automatically handled by the runtime and the state manager.

Working with Secrets

Secrets allow you to securely manage sensitive configuration data like API keys, database credentials, and authentication tokens. Here's how to use secrets in your nodes:

from exospherehost import Runtime, BaseNode
from pydantic import BaseModel
import json

class APINode(BaseNode):
    class Inputs(BaseModel):
        user_id: str
        query: str

    class Outputs(BaseModel):
        response: str  # v1: strings only
        status: str

    class Secrets(BaseModel):
        api_key: str
        api_endpoint: str
        database_url: str

    async def execute(self) -> Outputs:
        # Access secrets via self.secrets
        headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {self.secrets.api_key}"}
        
        # Use secrets for API calls
        import httpx
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            http_response = await client.post(
                f"{self.secrets.api_endpoint}/process",
                headers=headers,
                json={"user_id": self.inputs.user_id, "query": self.inputs.query}
            )
        
        # Serialize body: prefer JSON if valid; fallback to text or empty string
        response_text = http_response.text or ""
        if response_text:
            try:
                response_str = json.dumps(http_response.json())
            except Exception:
                response_str = response_text
        else:
            response_str = ""

        return self.Outputs(
            response=response_str,
            status="success"
        )

Key points about secrets:

• Security: Secrets are stored securely by the ExosphereHost Runtime and are never exposed in logs or error messages
• Validation: The Secrets class uses Pydantic for automatic validation of secret values
• String-only (v1): All Secrets fields must be strings.
• Access: Secrets are available via self.secrets during node execution
• Types: Common secret types include API keys, database credentials, encryption keys, and authentication tokens
• Injection: Secrets are injected by the Runtime at execution time, so you don't need to handle them manually

State Management

The SDK provides a StateManager class for programmatically triggering graph executions and managing workflow states. This is useful for integrating ExosphereHost workflows into existing applications or for building custom orchestration logic.

StateManager Class

The StateManager class allows you to trigger graph executions with custom trigger states. It handles authentication and communication with the ExosphereHost state manager service.

Initialization

from exospherehost import StateManager

# Initialize with explicit configuration
state_manager = StateManager(
    namespace="MyProject",
    state_manager_uri="https://your-state-manager.exosphere.host",
    key="your-api-key",
    state_manager_version="v0"
)

# Or initialize with environment variables
state_manager = StateManager(namespace="MyProject")

Parameters:

• namespace (str): The namespace for your project
• state_manager_uri (str, optional): The URI of the state manager service. If not provided, reads from EXOSPHERE_STATE_MANAGER_URI environment variable
• key (str, optional): Your API key. If not provided, reads from EXOSPHERE_API_KEY environment variable
• state_manager_version (str): The API version to use (default: "v0")

Triggering Graph Execution

from exospherehost import StateManager, TriggerState

# Create a single trigger state
trigger_state = TriggerState(
    identifier="user-login",
    inputs={
        "user_id": "12345",
        "session_token": "abc123def456",
        "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
    }
)

# Trigger the graph (beta store support)
result = await state_manager.trigger(
    "my-graph",
    inputs={
        "user_id": "12345",
        "session_token": "abc123def456"
    },
    store={
        "cursor": "0"  # persisted across nodes (beta)
    }
)

Parameters:

• graph_name (str): Name of the graph to execute
• inputs (dict[str, str] | None): Key/value inputs for the first node (strings only)
• store (dict[str, str] | None): Graph-level key/value store (beta) persisted across nodes

Returns:

• dict: JSON payload from the state manager

Raises:

• Exception: If the HTTP request fails
