parallelworks-client 7.19.0

Official Python SDK for Parallel Works ACTIVATE

parallelworks-client

Official Python client for the Parallel Works ACTIVATE platform API.

Installation

pip install parallelworks-client

Quick Start

The simplest way to create a client - just pass your credential:

import os
from parallelworks_client import Client

# The platform host is automatically extracted from your credential
with Client.from_credential(os.environ["PW_API_KEY"]).sync() as client:
    response = client.get("/api/buckets")
    for bucket in response.json():
        print(f"Bucket: {bucket['name']}")

See the examples directory for complete runnable examples.

Authentication

Automatic Host Detection

API keys (pwt_...) and JWT tokens contain the platform host encoded within them. Use from_credential to automatically extract it:

# API key - host decoded from first segment after pwt_
client = Client.from_credential("pwt_Y2xvdWQucGFyYWxsZWwud29ya3M.xxxxx")
# Connects to: https://cloud.parallel.works

# JWT token - host read from platform_host claim
client = Client.from_credential("eyJhbGci...")
# Connects to the host in the token's platform_host claim

Explicit Host

If you prefer to specify the host explicitly:

# API Key (Basic Auth) - best for long-running integrations
client = Client.with_api_key(
    "https://cloud.parallel.works",
    "pwt_..."
)

# JWT Token (Bearer) - best for scripts, expires in 24h
client = Client.with_token(
    "https://cloud.parallel.works",
    "eyJhbGci..."
)

# Auto-detect credential type
client = Client.with_credential(
    "https://cloud.parallel.works",
    os.environ["PW_CREDENTIAL"]
)

Credential Helpers

from parallelworks_client import is_api_key, is_token, extract_platform_host

is_api_key("pwt_abc.xyz")           # True
is_token("eyJ.abc.def")             # True
extract_platform_host("pwt_...")    # "cloud.parallel.works"

Async Support

import asyncio
from parallelworks_client import Client

async def main():
    async with Client.from_credential(os.environ["PW_API_KEY"]) as client:
        response = await client.get("/api/buckets")
        print(response.json())

asyncio.run(main())
