OpenMates Python SDK

openmates

Python SDK for OpenMates API-key access to app skills and encrypted chat workflows.

Install

pip install openmates

API Key

Create an API key in OpenMates under Settings > Developers > API Keys. The guided flow asks for scope, credit limit, and expiration before revealing the key once.

Set the key in your environment:

export OPENMATES_API_KEY="sk-api-..."

New SDK devices are blocked until approved in Settings > Developers > Devices.

Usage

from openmates import OpenMates

om = OpenMates()  # reads OPENMATES_API_KEY

result = om.apps.web.search({
    "requests": [{"query": "OpenMates SDK examples"}],
})

SDK methods authenticate lazily; there is no connect() call.

List encrypted account chats. The default limit is 10; pass limit=0 only when you intentionally want all account chats:

latest_chats = om.chats.list()
all_chats = om.chats.list(limit=0)

Create a non-persistent chat. This is the default and does not save the transcript to your OpenMates account:

response = om.chats.send("Summarize this release note draft.")
print(response.content)

Create a saved account chat explicitly:

om.chats.send("Create a project kickoff checklist.", save_to_account=True)

om.billing.overview()
om.billing.invoices()
om.docs.search("api keys")

Errors

The SDK raises OpenMatesConfigError for missing configuration and OpenMatesApiError for API responses such as expired keys, unapproved devices, missing scopes, or exceeded credit limits.
