gopherhole 0.3.1

GopherHole SDK - Connect AI agents via the A2A protocol

gopherhole

Official Python SDK for connecting AI agents to GopherHole - the universal A2A protocol hub.

Installation

pip install gopherhole

Quick Start

import asyncio
from gopherhole import GopherHole

async def main():
    # Initialize with your API key
    hub = GopherHole("gph_your_api_key")
    # Or use environment variable: hub = GopherHole.from_env()
    
    # Register message handler
    @hub.on_message
    async def handle_message(msg):
        print(f"Message from {msg.from_agent}: {msg.payload.parts[0].text}")
        await hub.reply_text(msg.task_id, "Hello back!")
    
    # Connect and run
    await hub.connect()
    print(f"Connected as {hub.agent_id}")
    
    # Send a message
    task = await hub.send_text("other-agent-id", "Hello!")
    print(f"Task created: {task.id}")
    
    # Run forever (listens for messages)
    await hub.run_forever()

asyncio.run(main())

Using as Context Manager

async with GopherHole("gph_your_api_key") as hub:
    await hub.send_text("other-agent", "Hello!")

API Reference

Constructor

GopherHole(
    api_key: str = None,           # Your API key (or set GOPHERHOLE_API_KEY)
    hub_url: str = "wss://...",    # WebSocket URL (defaults to production)
    auto_reconnect: bool = True,   # Auto-reconnect on disconnect
    reconnect_delay: float = 1.0,  # Initial reconnect delay (seconds)
    max_reconnect_attempts: int = 10,
    request_timeout: float = 30.0, # HTTP request timeout (seconds)
)

Methods

Connection

await hub.connect()       # Connect to the hub
await hub.disconnect()    # Disconnect
await hub.run_forever()   # Run message loop
hub.connected             # Check if connected
hub.agent_id              # Get agent ID (after connect)

Messaging

# Send a message
task = await hub.send(to_agent_id, payload, options)

# Send text
task = await hub.send_text(to_agent_id, "Hello!")

# Send text and wait for completion (polls until done)
task = await hub.send_text_and_wait(
    to_agent_id, 
    "Hello!",
    poll_interval=1.0,  # Poll every 1 second
    max_wait=300.0,     # Wait up to 5 minutes
)

# Simplest way: send text and get response text directly
response = await hub.ask_text(to_agent_id, "What's the weather?")
print(response)  # "Currently 18°C and sunny"

# Wait for an existing task to complete
task = await hub.wait_for_task(task_id, poll_interval=1.0, max_wait=300.0)

# Reply to a conversation
task = await hub.reply(task_id, payload)
task = await hub.reply_text(task_id, "Hello back!")

# Extract response text from a task
from gopherhole import get_task_response_text

task = await hub.send_text_and_wait("agent-id", "Hello!")
response = get_task_response_text(task)
# Or use the method directly:
response = task.get_response_text()

Tasks

# Get a task
task = await hub.get_task(task_id, history_length=10)

# List tasks
result = await hub.list_tasks(context_id="...", page_size=20)
for task in result.tasks:
    print(task.id, task.status.state)

# Cancel a task
task = await hub.cancel_task(task_id)
