meterbase
Python SDK for Meterbase: usage limits, credits and plan entitlements for your app. A sync client and an async one with the same calls, for Python 3.10+.
Install
pip install meterbase
Usage
Check before the work, track after it:
import os
from meterbase import Meterbase
meterbase = Meterbase(api_key=os.environ["METERBASE_API_KEY"])
result = meterbase.check(customer_id="acct_1", meter_id="ai_tokens", quantity=50_000)
if not result.allowed:
raise RuntimeError(f"Refused: {result.reason}")
completion = generate(prompt)
meterbase.track(
customer_id="acct_1",
meter_id="ai_tokens",
quantity=completion.usage.total_tokens,
)
For asyncio, use AsyncMeterbase and await each call. Use a sandbox key
(mb_sk_test_…) for development, CI and staging.
Documentation
Everything else is in the docs:
- Quickstart
- Python SDK reference:
client options,
check,track,reserve, customers, meters, plans, billing, webhooks, errors and retries - Guides: gating an LLM call, holding capacity, selling top-ups, FastAPI, Stripe and more
- Changelog: what each version adds or breaks
Pre-1.0, breaking changes land in the minor version, so pin the minor, such as
meterbase~=0.8.0.
Development
uv sync
make test # against a local test double
make check # generated code, types, lint, format, build, tests, packaging
make contract # against a live engine, see .env.example
The async client in src/meterbase/_async is the source; make unasync
generates the sync one from it. The contract tests create and delete real
data: point them at a sandbox key.
To publish, push a v* tag that matches src/meterbase/_version.py.
.github/workflows/publish.yml checks it and publishes it to PyPI.
