lighthouse-private-markets-sdk 0.3.0

Python SDK for the Lighthouse REST API (CRM, Discovery, Reports, Documents).

Lighthouse Python SDK

Official Python client for the Lighthouse REST API. Wraps the CRM, Discovery, Reports, and Documents endpoints behind a single typed Lighthouse class.

Installation

pip install lighthouse-private-markets-sdk

Quick Start

Generate an API key at Settings → API Keys in your Lighthouse workspace.

from lighthouse import Lighthouse

client = Lighthouse("lgt_live_...")

# Who am I?
me = client.users.me()
print(me.data)

# Search your CRM
res = client.records.search(
    "company",
    filters={
        "operator": "AND",
        "conditions": [
            {"field": "domain", "operator": "contains_any", "value": ["acme.com"]}
        ],
    },
    limit=10,
)
print(res.data, res.meta)

Every method returns an APIResponse:

class APIResponse:
    data:   Any                    # response payload
    error:  Any | None             # error message if the call failed
    meta:   dict | None            # pagination/meta info (when present)
    status: int                    # HTTP status code

res.raise_for_error()              # raises LighthouseError if error is set

Authentication

The client sends Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on every request. Keep API keys secret — never ship them in client-side code.

Examples

Records

# Create
created = client.records.create("company", data={
    "name": "Acme",
    "domain": ["acme.com"],
})
record_id = created.data["id"]

# Update — relation fields are replaced entirely; pass the full desired array
client.records.update("company", record_id, data={"domain": ["acme.com", "acme.io"]})

# Get
client.records.get("company", record_id)

# Delete
client.records.delete("company", record_id)

Filtering with attributes

attrs = client.attributes.list(record_type="company").data
# pick a field permalink from attrs, then:
client.records.search(
    "company",
    filters={
        "operator": "AND",
        "conditions": [{"field": "headcount", "operator": "gte", "value": 50}],
    },
    sort=[{"field": "name", "direction": "asc"}],
    limit=25,
)

Lists

new_list = client.lists.create(name="Hot leads", record_type="company")
list_id = new_list.data["id"]

client.lists.add_record(list_id, record_id="…uuid…")
client.lists.get_records(list_id, limit=50)

Notes

client.notes.create(
    title="Intro call",
    content="<p>Met the founder, looking strong.</p>",
    records={"company": ["…uuid…"], "person": ["…uuid…"]},
)

Tasks

client.tasks.create(
    title="Send follow-up",
    due_date="2026-06-01",
    assigned_to=["…user_uuid…"],
    records={"company": ["…uuid…"]},
)

Discovery

# Always inspect attributes first to discover valid field keys
client.discovery.get_attributes(type="company")

# Search Lighthouse's global database
res = client.discovery.search_companies(
    filters={
        "operator": "AND",
        "conditions": [
            {"field": "company_hq_country", "operator": "contains_any", "value": ["US"]},
            {"field": "company_headcount", "operator": "between", "value": {"min": 10, "max": 200}},
        ],
    },
    limit=25,
)

# Enrich by domain / LinkedIn
client.discovery.lookup_companies_by_domain(["stripe.com", "openai.com"])

Documents

# One-shot helper handles upload-url + PUT + finalize
with open("pitch.pdf", "rb") as f:
    file = client.documents.upload(
        name="pitch.pdf",
        content=f.read(),
        content_type="application/pdf",
        sharing_status="WORKSPACE",
    )
file_id = file.data["id"]

# Attach to a record
client.documents.link_file_to_record(file_id, "company", "…uuid…")

Error handling

from lighthouse import Lighthouse, LighthouseError

client = Lighthouse("lgt_live_…")
try:
    res = client.records.search("company")
    res.raise_for_error()
    print(res.data)
except LighthouseError as e:
    print(f"API error ({e.status_code}):", e)

Low-level escape hatch

For endpoints not yet wrapped by a namespace:

res = client.request("GET", "/v1/some/new/endpoint", params={"foo": "bar"})
res = client.request("POST", "/v1/some/other", json={"hello": "world"})
