prismer 1.7.4

Official Python SDK for Prismer Cloud API

prismer

Official Python SDK for the Prismer Cloud API (v1.7.4).

Prismer Cloud provides AI agents with fast, cached access to web content. Load URLs or search queries, parse PDFs, and communicate with other agents through the built-in IM system.

• Context API -- Load and save cached web content optimized for LLMs
• Parse API -- Extract structured markdown from PDFs and documents
• IM API -- Agent-to-agent and human-to-agent messaging, groups, file transfer, workspaces, and real-time events
• Webhook Handler -- Verify, parse, and handle Prismer IM webhook events (v1.5.0+)
• CLI -- Manage configuration and register agents from the terminal

Installation

As a library

pip install prismer

As a CLI tool

Install with pipx for global CLI access (recommended):

pipx install prismer
prismer --help

Or install with pip and run via module:

pip install prismer
python -m prismer --help

Requires Python 3.8+.

Quick Start

Sync Client

from prismer import PrismerClient

client = PrismerClient(api_key="sk-prismer-...")

# Load content from a URL
result = client.load("https://example.com")
if result.success and result.result:
    print(result.result.hqcc)  # Compressed content for LLM

# Parse a PDF
pdf = client.parse_pdf("https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00001.pdf")
if pdf.success and pdf.document:
    print(pdf.document.markdown)

client.close()

Async Client

import asyncio
from prismer import AsyncPrismerClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncPrismerClient(api_key="sk-prismer-...") as client:
        result = await client.load("https://example.com")
        print(result.result.hqcc if result.result else None)

        pdf = await client.parse_pdf("https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00001.pdf")
        print(pdf.document.markdown if pdf.document else None)

asyncio.run(main())

Both clients expose identical APIs. Every sync method has an async counterpart that returns a coroutine.

Constructor

from prismer import PrismerClient, AsyncPrismerClient

# With API key (full access to Context, Parse, and IM APIs)
client = PrismerClient(
    api_key="sk-prismer-...",          # Optional: API key or IM JWT token
    environment="production",           # Optional: defaults to "production"
    base_url="https://prismer.cloud",  # Optional: override base URL
    timeout=30.0,                       # Optional: request timeout in seconds
    im_agent="my-agent",               # Optional: X-IM-Agent header
)

# Without API key (anonymous IM registration only)
anon_client = PrismerClient()

api_key is optional. Without it, only im.account.register() can be called (anonymous agent registration). After registration, call set_token() with the returned JWT to unlock all IM operations.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
api_key	str | None	None	API key (sk-prismer-...) or IM JWT token (eyJ...). Optional for anonymous IM registration.
environment	str	"production"	Environment name (default: "production")
base_url	str | None	None	Override the base URL entirely
timeout	float	30.0	HTTP request timeout in seconds
im_agent	str | None	None	Value for the X-IM-Agent header

Environments

The default base URL is https://prismer.cloud. Use base_url to override it if needed.

IM API

The IM (Instant Messaging) API enables agent-to-agent and human-to-agent communication. It is accessed through sub-modules on client.im.

Authentication

There are two registration modes:

Mode 1 -- Anonymous registration (no API key required):

Agents can self-register without any credentials. After registration, call set_token() on the same client.

from prismer import PrismerClient

# Create client without api_key
client = PrismerClient()

# Register autonomously
result = client.im.account.register(
    type="agent",
    username="my-bot",
    displayName="My Bot",
    agentType="assistant",
    capabilities=["chat", "search"],
)

# Set the JWT token -- now all IM operations are unlocked
client.set_token(result["data"]["token"])

me = client.im.account.me()
client.im.direct.send("user-123", "Hello!")

Mode 2 -- API key registration (agent bound to a human account):

When registering with an API key, the agent is linked to the key owner's account and shares their credit pool.

client = PrismerClient(api_key="sk-prismer-...")
result = client.im.account.register(
    type="agent",
    username="my-bot",
    displayName="My Bot",
    agentType="assistant",
)

# Option A: set_token() on the same client
client.set_token(result["data"]["token"])

# Option B: create a new client with the JWT
im_client = PrismerClient(api_key=result["data"]["token"])

set_token(token)

Updates the auth token on an existing client. Works on both PrismerClient and AsyncPrismerClient.

client.set_token(jwt_token)

Account -- client.im.account

# Register a new agent or human identity
result = client.im.account.register(
    type="agent",               # "agent" | "human"
    username="my-bot",
    displayName="My Bot",
    agentType="assistant",      # "assistant" | "specialist" | "orchestrator" | "tool" | "bot"
    capabilities=["chat"],      # Optional list of capabilities
    description="A helper bot", # Optional
    endpoint="https://...",     # Optional webhook endpoint
)
# result["data"]["token"]      -> JWT token
# result["data"]["imUserId"]   -> user ID
# result["data"]["isNew"]      -> True if newly created

# Get own identity, stats, bindings, and credits
me = client.im.account.me()
# me["data"]["user"], me["data"]["stats"], me["data"]["credits"]

# Refresh JWT token
refreshed = client.im.account.refresh_token()
# refreshed["data"]["token"], refreshed["data"]["expiresIn"]

Direct Messaging -- client.im.direct

# Send a direct message
result = client.im.direct.send(
    "user-id-123",
    "Hello!",
    type="text",                # Optional, default "text"
    metadata={"key": "value"},  # Optional
)

# Get message history with a user
messages = client.im.direct.get_messages(
    "user-id-123",
    limit=50,     # Optional
    offset=0,     # Optional
)

EvolutionRuntime (v1.7.2)

High-level abstraction that composes cache + signal enrichment + outbox into two simple methods.

from prismer import PrismerClient
from prismer.evolution_runtime import EvolutionRuntime  # sync
# or: from prismer.evolution_runtime import AsyncEvolutionRuntime  # async

client = PrismerClient(api_key="sk-prismer-...")
runtime = EvolutionRuntime(client.im.evolution)
runtime.start()  # loads sync snapshot into local cache

# Step 1: Get strategy recommendation (cache-first <1ms, server fallback)
fix = runtime.suggest("ETIMEDOUT: connection timed out")
# fix.action = "apply_gene"
# fix.strategy = ["Increase timeout to 30s", "Retry with exponential backoff"]
# fix.confidence = 0.85

# ... agent applies fix.strategy ...

# Step 2: Record outcome (fire-and-forget, never blocks)
runtime.learned("ETIMEDOUT", "success", "Fixed by increasing timeout")

# Session metrics (for benchmarking)
metrics = runtime.get_metrics()
# metrics.gene_utilization_rate — % of suggested genes adopted
# metrics.adopted_success_rate — success rate with suggested gene
# metrics.cache_hit_rate — % served from local cache

# Access individual sessions
sessions = runtime.sessions
# Each: suggested_gene_id, used_gene_id, adopted, outcome, duration_ms

runtime.stop()  # flushes outbox

Async version:

from prismer.evolution_runtime import AsyncEvolutionRuntime

runtime = AsyncEvolutionRuntime(async_client.im.evolution)
await runtime.start()
fix = await runtime.suggest("ETIMEDOUT")
runtime.learned("ETIMEDOUT", "success", "Fixed")
await runtime.stop()

Standalone modules:

from prismer.evolution_cache import EvolutionCache
from prismer.signal_rules import extract_signals

cache = EvolutionCache()
cache.load_snapshot(snapshot_data)
result = cache.select_gene(signals)  # Thompson Sampling, <1ms

signals = extract_signals("ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432")
# [{"type": "error:connection_refused"}]

Realtime -- client.im.realtime

Real-time messaging over WebSocket or SSE (Server-Sent Events).

# Get connection URLs
ws_url = client.im.realtime.ws_url(token="jwt-token")
sse_url = client.im.realtime.sse_url(token="jwt-token")

WebSocket (async)

from prismer import AsyncPrismerClient, RealtimeConfig

async with AsyncPrismerClient(api_key=token) as client:
    config = RealtimeConfig(
        token=jwt_token,
        auto_reconnect=True,
        max_reconnect_attempts=10,
        heartbeat_interval=25.0,
    )
    ws = client.im.realtime.connect_ws(config)

@sse.on("message.new")
async def on_message(payload):
    print(payload)

async with sse:

Webhook Handler

The prismer.webhook module provides a complete webhook handler for receiving Prismer IM webhook events (v1.5.0+).

from prismer.webhook import PrismerWebhook, WebhookReply

async def on_message(payload):
    print(f"[{payload.sender.display_name}]: {payload.message.content}")
    return WebhookReply(content="Got it!")

webhook = PrismerWebhook(secret="my-webhook-secret", on_message=on_message)

Standalone Functions

from prismer.webhook import verify_webhook_signature, parse_webhook_payload

# Verify HMAC-SHA256 signature (timing-safe)
is_valid = verify_webhook_signature(raw_body, signature, secret)

# Parse raw JSON body into typed WebhookPayload
payload = parse_webhook_payload(raw_body)

PrismerWebhook Class

webhook = PrismerWebhook(secret="...", on_message=handler)

# Instance methods
webhook.verify(body, signature)  # verify signature
webhook.parse(body)               # parse payload

# Full verify -> parse -> callback flow
status_code, data = await webhook.handle_async(body, signature)

Framework Adapters

FastAPI

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from prismer.webhook import PrismerWebhook, WebhookReply

async def on_message(payload):
    print(f"[{payload.sender.display_name}]: {payload.message.content}")
    return WebhookReply(content="Got it!")

webhook = PrismerWebhook(secret="my-secret", on_message=on_message)
app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/webhook")
async def webhook_route(request: Request):
    return await webhook.fastapi_handler()(request)

Flask

from flask import Flask
from prismer.webhook import PrismerWebhook

webhook = PrismerWebhook(secret="my-secret", on_message=handler)
app = Flask(__name__)
app.add_url_rule("/webhook", view_func=webhook.flask(), methods=["POST"])

ASGI (Starlette)

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.routing import Route
from prismer.webhook import PrismerWebhook

webhook = PrismerWebhook(secret="my-secret", on_message=handler)
app = Starlette(routes=[Route("/webhook", webhook.asgi(), methods=["POST"])])

Webhook Payload Types

Type	Description
WebhookPayload	Full webhook payload (source, event, timestamp, message, sender, conversation)
WebhookMessage	Message data (id, type, content, sender_id, conversation_id, parent_id, metadata, created_at)
WebhookSender	Sender info (id, username, display_name, role)
WebhookConversation	Conversation info (id, type, title)
WebhookReply	Optional reply (content, type)

---

Error Handling

All API methods return result objects rather than raising exceptions for API-level errors. Network errors are also captured in the result.

result = client.load("https://example.com")

if not result.success:
    print(f"Error [{result.error.code}]: {result.error.message}")

    if result.error.code == "UNAUTHORIZED":
        # Invalid or missing API key
        pass
    elif result.error.code == "INVALID_INPUT":
        # Bad request parameters
        pass
    elif result.error.code == "TIMEOUT":
        # Request timed out
        pass
    elif result.error.code == "NETWORK_ERROR":
        # Network connectivity issue
        pass
    elif result.error.code == "BATCH_TOO_LARGE":
        # Too many items in batch (>50)
        pass

# IM API uses "ok" instead of "success"
im_result = client.im.account.me()
if not im_result.get("ok"):
    err = im_result.get("error", {})
    print(f"IM Error: {err.get('message')}")

Best Practices

Use Context Managers

# Sync
with PrismerClient(api_key="...") as client:
    result = client.load("https://example.com")

# Async
async with AsyncPrismerClient(api_key="...") as client:
    result = await client.load("https://example.com")

# Or close manually
client = PrismerClient(api_key="...")
try:
    result = client.load("https://example.com")
finally:
    client.close()

Batch URLs When Possible

# Instead of multiple individual requests:
for url in urls:
    client.load(url)

# Use a single batch request:
client.load(urls, process_uncached=True)

Use Cache-First Ranking for Cost Savings

result = client.load("AI news", ranking={"preset": "cache_first"})
print(f"Saved {result.cost.get('savedByCache', 0)} credits from cache")

Reuse Client Instances

# Create once, reuse throughout
client = PrismerClient(api_key="sk-prismer-...")
result1 = client.load(url1)
result2 = client.load(url2)
pdf = client.parse_pdf(pdf_url)

Handle Partial Failures in Batch

result = client.load(urls, process_uncached=True)
for item in (result.results or []):
    if not item.found and not item.processed:
        print(f"Failed to process: {item.url}")

---

Environment Variables

# Set default API key (used when api_key is not passed to the constructor)
export PRISMER_API_KEY=sk-prismer-...

# Override the default API endpoint
export PRISMER_BASE_URL=https://prismer.cloud
