Phala Cloud Python SDK

Python SDK for Phala Cloud API, aligned with @phala/cloud action surface.

Goals

• Pythonic API (snake_case, sync-first REPL experience)
• Sync + Async parity
• Pydantic request/response validation
• Safe calls (safe_*) without exceptions

Requirements

• Python >= 3.10
• uv (for development)

Installation

pip install phala-cloud

Quickstart

Sync

from phala_cloud import create_client

client = create_client(api_key="<api-key>")
me = client.get_current_user()
print(me.model_dump())

Async

import asyncio
from phala_cloud import create_async_client


async def main() -> None:
    client = create_async_client(api_key="<api-key>")
    me = await client.get_current_user()
    print(me.model_dump())
    await client.aclose()


asyncio.run(main())

Configuration

Environment variables

• PHALA_CLOUD_API_KEY
• PHALA_CLOUD_API_PREFIX (e.g. https://cloud-api.phala.com/api/v1)

Client options

• api_key
• base_url
• version (2025-10-28 / 2026-01-21 / 2026-05-22)
• timeout
• headers
• use_cookie_auth

API Style

• Direct methods: raise on HTTP/validation errors
• Safe methods (safe_*): return SafeResult
• Function-style wrappers available in phala_cloud.actions

Example:

result = client.safe_get_kms_list()
if result.ok:
    print(result.data.items)
else:
    print(result.error)

Development

cd python

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Run tests
make test

# Lint & format
make check

E2E Test

E2E tests cover sync + async, direct + safe styles, and full interface paths.

Required:

• PHALA_CLOUD_E2E_API_KEY — your Phala Cloud API key

Optional:

• PHALA_CLOUD_E2E_BASE_URL — defaults to https://cloud-api.phala.com/api/v1

Run

cd python
PHALA_CLOUD_E2E_API_KEY="<api-key>" make e2e

Or put them in python/.env.test:

PHALA_CLOUD_E2E_API_KEY=<api-key>
# PHALA_CLOUD_E2E_BASE_URL=https://cloud-api.phala.com/api/v1

Then simply:

cd python
make e2e
