Realforce API - Python SDK

Python client SDK for the Realforce API.

Version: 0.4.2

Installation

pip install realforce-api-client

Authentication

The SDK authenticates with a Bearer token in the Authorization header. There are two kinds of token, depending on whether a human or a machine is calling.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) apps — recommended for integrations

If you have a Realforce app (a client_id plus an RSA private key), the SDK does the whole OAuth client_credentials + private_key_jwt flow for you — signing the assertion, calling the token endpoint, caching the short-lived rfm_ token, and refreshing it before it expires. It works for both the .sync() and .asyncio() call variants:

from realforce_api_client.authentication import create_authenticated_client
from realforce_api_client.api.agent import query_agents

client = create_authenticated_client(
    "https://api.realforce.com",
    client_id="your-client-id",
    private_key_pem=open("app-key.pem").read(),  # the PEM shown once when the app/key was created
    # optional scope-down:
    # scopes=["agents:read"],
    # workspace_ids=["00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"],
)

agents = query_agents.sync(client=client, x_workspace_id=workspace_id)

token_url defaults to {base_url}/v1/oauth/token. A failed token request raises RealforceAuthenticationError (inspect .error / .error_description, e.g. invalid_client when the assertion or key is wrong).

Personal Access Token (PAT) — for scripts acting as a user

Generate a PAT in the Realforce dashboard and send it as a Bearer token directly:

from realforce_api_client import AuthenticatedClient

client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url="https://api.realforce.com",
    token="rfp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
)

Workspace ID

Most endpoints are scoped to a workspace. The generated client surfaces this as an x_workspace_id parameter (string GUID) on each method — pass the workspace your token has access to on every call:

workspace_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
agent = get_agent.sync(client=client, agent_id=agent_id, x_workspace_id=workspace_id)

Quick Start

from realforce_api_client import AuthenticatedClient
from realforce_api_client.api.agent import query_agents

client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url="https://api.realforce.com",
    token="rfp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
)

workspace_id = "..."
agents = query_agents.sync(client=client, x_workspace_id=workspace_id)

Async Usage

Every endpoint exposes both .sync() and .asyncio() variants:

import asyncio
from realforce_api_client import AuthenticatedClient
from realforce_api_client.api.agent import get_agent

client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url="https://api.realforce.com",
    token="rfp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
)

async def main():
    agent = await get_agent.asyncio(client=client, agent_id=agent_id, x_workspace_id=workspace_id)

asyncio.run(main())

Error Handling

By default the client raises httpx.HTTPStatusError for non-2xx responses. Use the _detailed endpoint variants when you need to inspect the status code and parsed body without raising:

from realforce_api_client.api.agent import get_agent

response = get_agent.sync_detailed(client=client, agent_id=agent_id, x_workspace_id=workspace_id)
if response.status_code == 200:
    agent = response.parsed
else:
    print(f"HTTP {response.status_code}: {response.content!r}")

Custom httpx Client

AuthenticatedClient wraps an httpx.Client. Pass httpx_args to configure timeouts, retries, proxies, etc.:

from realforce_api_client import AuthenticatedClient

client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url="https://api.realforce.com",
    token="rfp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    httpx_args={"timeout": 30.0},
)

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
