Python SDK for FlowForge - AI workflow orchestration

FlowForge SDK

Python SDK for FlowForge - AI workflow orchestration with durable execution.

Installation

pip install flowforge-sdk

Quick Start

from flowforge import FlowForge, Context, step

flowforge = FlowForge(app_id="my-app")

@flowforge.function(
    id="my-workflow",
    trigger=flowforge.trigger.event("my/event"),
)
async def my_workflow(ctx: Context) -> dict:
    result = await step.run("process", lambda: "Hello, World!")
    return {"message": result}

Features

• Durable execution with automatic checkpointing
• AI agent support with tool calling
• Multi-agent networks with routing
• Human-in-the-loop approvals

Step Primitives

Inside a @flowforge.function, use the global step object:

from flowforge import step

# Run any function with memoization (won't re-run on replay)
result = await step.run("validate", validate_order, order)

# Pause until an event arrives
event = await step.wait_for_event("wait-payment", event="payment/received", match="data.order_id == 'abc'")

# Sleep for a duration
await step.sleep("wait-1h", "1h")

# LLM call with automatic retry
reply = await step.ai("summarize", model="gpt-4o", prompt="Summarize: ...")

# AI agent loop with tool calling
result = await step.agent(
    "research-agent",
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    system="You are a research assistant.",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Research this topic..."}],
    tools=[...],
    max_tokens=4096,
    max_tool_calls=20,
)

Sending Events

# Send a single event
event_id = await flowforge.send("order/created", data={"order_id": "123"})

# Send multiple events
event_ids = await flowforge.send_many([
    {"name": "user/signup", "data": {"user_id": "1"}},
    {"name": "user/signup", "data": {"user_id": "2"}},
])

Run Management

# Get run details (status, steps, output)
run = await flowforge.get_run("761c0321-...")

# Retry a failed run in-place — keeps all memoized (completed) steps,
# only re-executes from the point of failure
result = await flowforge.retry_run("761c0321-...")

# Cancel a running or pending run
result = await flowforge.cancel_run("761c0321-...")

retry_run is different from replaying: it preserves the memoized results of all completed steps so execution resumes from where it failed rather than starting over from scratch.

Streaming Run Events (SSE)

Stream real-time events from a running workflow via Server-Sent Events:

from flowforge import FlowForge, RunEvent

flowforge = FlowForge(app_id="my-app", api_key="ff_live_...")

# Async iterator
async for event in flowforge.stream_run("run-uuid"):
    print(f"[{event.event_type.value}] {event.data}")

# With callback
async for event in flowforge.stream_run("run-uuid", on_event=lambda e: print(e)):
    pass

The stream automatically closes when the run completes or fails. Available event types:

• step_started, step_completed, step_failed
• thinking, thinking_chunk
• tool_call_started, tool_call_completed
• approval_required, approval_resolved
• run_started, run_paused, run_resumed, run_completed, run_failed

Options:

async for event in flowforge.stream_run(
    "run-uuid",
    include_history=True,   # Include past events on connect (default: True)
    timeout=300.0,          # Server-side stream timeout in seconds (default: 300)
    on_event=my_callback,   # Optional callback for each event
):
    if event.is_terminal:
        print("Run finished:", event.data)
