Python SDK for the Manifest API — structured action manifests for AI agents

manifest-api

Stop guessing selectors. Manifest tells your agent what's clickable, fillable, and submittable on any page.

Python SDK for the Manifest API — extracts structured action manifests from web pages so AI agents know what they can do, not just what's on screen.

Quickstart

Sync

from manifest_api import ManifestClient

client = ManifestClient(api_key="your-key")  # or set MANIFEST_API_KEY env var
manifest = client.get("https://example.com")

print(manifest.current_page_state)
print(manifest.actions)

# Convenience helpers
action = manifest.action("submit-form")
inputs = manifest.actions_of_type("input")
required = manifest.required_actions

Async

import asyncio
from manifest_api import AsyncManifestClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncManifestClient(api_key="your-key") as client:
        manifest = await client.get("https://example.com")
        print(manifest.current_page_state)

asyncio.run(main())

All methods

# Both ManifestClient and AsyncManifestClient expose:
manifest = client.get("https://example.com")   # POST /manifest → Manifest
health   = client.health()                      # GET  /health → dict
valid    = client.session_valid()               # GET  /session-status → bool

Manifest helpers

manifest.action("id")              # → Action | None
manifest.actions_of_type("input")  # → list[Action]
manifest.required_actions          # → list[Action]

Action types

button · input · textarea · select · checkbox · radio · other

Error handling

from manifest_api import AuthenticationError, RateLimitError, APIError

try:
    manifest = client.get("https://example.com")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Check your API key")
except RateLimitError:
    print("Slow down — rate limit hit")
except APIError as e:
    print(f"Server error {e.status_code}")
