relace-agent-client 0.2.0

A client library for accessing Relace Agent

relace-agent-client

Python SDK for the Relace Agent API — manage repos, files, git-like ops, and AI interactions.

The client is generated with openapi-python-client and exposes typed models and endpoint helpers.

Quickstart

import os
from uuid import UUID

from relace_agent_client import AuthenticatedClient

BASE_URL = os.getenv("RELACE_BASE_URL", "https://api.example.com")
API_KEY = os.getenv("RELACE_API_KEY", "<YOUR_API_KEY>")

client = AuthenticatedClient(base_url=BASE_URL, token=API_KEY)

• Use context managers for connection reuse:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import list_repo_metadata

with client as c:
    repos = list_repo_metadata.sync(client=c)
    print(repos)

Notes

• All endpoints have sync/sync_detailed/asyncio/asyncio_detailed variants.
• Most operations return RepoInfo with repo_id and current repo_head on success.
• Authentication uses an HTTP Bearer token.

Create a repository

Create from a Git URL:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import create_repo
from relace_agent_client.models import RepoCreateRequest, RepoCreateGitSource

with client as c:
    req = RepoCreateRequest(
        source=RepoCreateGitSource(type_="git", url="https://github.com/org/repo.git", branch="main")
    )
    created = create_repo.sync(client=c, body=req)
    repo_id = created.repo_id
    print("Created repo:", repo_id, created.repo_head)

Create from in-memory files:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import create_repo
from relace_agent_client.models import RepoCreateRequest, RepoCreateFilesSource, File as ModelFile

files = [
    ModelFile(filename="README.md", content="# Hello\n"),
    ModelFile(filename="src/app.py", content="print('hi')\n"),
]

with client as c:
    req = RepoCreateRequest(source=RepoCreateFilesSource(type_="files", files=files))
    info = create_repo.sync(client=c, body=req)
    repo_id = info.repo_id

List and get metadata

from relace_agent_client.api.default import list_repo_metadata, get_repo_metadata

with client as c:
    page = list_repo_metadata.sync(client=c)
    for meta in (page.items or []):
        print(meta.repo_id, meta.created_at)

    md = get_repo_metadata.sync(client=c, repo_id=repo_id)
    print(md)

File operations

Upload/overwrite a file (auto-committed):

from io import BytesIO
from relace_agent_client.api.default import upload_file
from relace_agent_client.types import File as UploadFile

content = BytesIO(b"print('updated')\n")

with client as c:
    info = upload_file.sync(
        client=c,
        repo_id=repo_id,
        file_path="src/app.py",
        body=UploadFile(payload=content, file_name="app.py", mime_type="text/x-python"),
    )
    print(info.repo_head)

Download a file:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import download_file

with client as c:
    data = download_file.sync(
        client=c, repo_id=repo_id, file_path="src/app.py"
    )
    print(data)

Delete a file:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import delete_file

with client as c:
    info = delete_file.sync(
        client=c, repo_id=repo_id, file_path="README.md"
    )
    print(info.repo_head)

Bulk updates (powerful)

Replace files in bulk:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import update_repo_contents
from relace_agent_client.models import RepoUpdateRequest, RepoUpdateFiles, File as ModelFile

update = RepoUpdateRequest(
    source=RepoUpdateFiles(type_="files", files=[ModelFile(filename="new.txt", content="hello")])
)

with client as c:
    info = update_repo_contents.sync(client=c, repo_id=repo_id, body=update)

Apply a diff of operations:

from relace_agent_client.models import RepoUpdateRequest, RepoUpdateDiff, FileWriteOperation, FileRenameOperation, FileDeleteOperation
from relace_agent_client.api.default import update_repo_contents

ops = RepoUpdateDiff(
    type_="diff",
    operations=[
        FileWriteOperation(type_="write", filename="src/util.py", content="def add(a,b): return a+b\n"),
        FileRenameOperation(type_="rename", old_filename="src/app.py", new_filename="src/main.py"),
        FileDeleteOperation(type_="delete", filename="obsolete.txt"),
    ],
)
req = RepoUpdateRequest(source=ops)

with client as c:
    info = update_repo_contents.sync(client=c, repo_id=repo_id, body=req)

Overwrite from a new Git source:

from relace_agent_client.models import RepoUpdateRequest, RepoUpdateGit
from relace_agent_client.api.default import update_repo_contents

req = RepoUpdateRequest(source=RepoUpdateGit(type_="git", url="https://github.com/org/another.git", branch="main"))

with client as c:
    info = update_repo_contents.sync(client=c, repo_id=repo_id, body=req)

Clone repository (get all files)

from relace_agent_client.api.default import clone_repo

with client as c:
    clone = clone_repo.sync(client=c, repo_id=repo_id)
    for f in (clone.files or []):
        print(f.filename, len(f.content))

AI interactions

Ask a question about the repo:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import ask_question
from relace_agent_client.models import RepoAskRequest

with client as c:
    res = ask_question.sync(
        client=c, repo_id=repo_id, body=RepoAskRequest(query="Where does the app start?")
    )
    print(res.answer)

Retrieve relevant content:

from relace_agent_client.api.default import retrieve_relevant_content
from relace_agent_client.models import RepoRetrieveRequest

with client as c:
    r = retrieve_relevant_content.sync(
        client=c,
        repo_id=repo_id,
        body=RepoRetrieveRequest(query="authentication logic", include_content=True, score_threshold=0.4),
    )
    for item in r.results:
        print(item.filename, item.score)

Delete a repository

from relace_agent_client.api.default import delete_repo

with client as c:
    delete_repo.sync(client=c, repo_id=repo_id)

Async usage

Every endpoint has asyncio and asyncio_detailed variants:

import asyncio
from relace_agent_client import AuthenticatedClient
from relace_agent_client.api.default import list_repo_metadata

async def main():
    async with AuthenticatedClient(base_url=BASE_URL, token=API_KEY) as c:
        page = await list_repo_metadata.asyncio(client=c)
        print(page)

asyncio.run(main())

Examples

See runnable scripts in python/examples/:

• 01_create_repo.py — create from files or Git
• 02_file_ops.py — upload, download, delete
• 03_update_and_clone.py — bulk update (files/diff/git) and clone
• 04_ai_interactions.py — ask, retrieve

TLS/HTTPX customization

from relace_agent_client import AuthenticatedClient

client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url="https://internal-api.example.com",
    token=API_KEY,
    verify_ssl="/path/to/ca-bundle.pem",  # or False (not recommended)
)

# Access underlying httpx clients with:
# client.get_httpx_client() / client.get_async_httpx_client()

Building / publishing this package

This project uses uv to manage dependencies and packaging. Basics:

1. Update metadata in pyproject.toml (authors, version).
2. Private index: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/integration/alternative-indexes/
3. Build: uv build (sdist + wheel).
4. Publish: uv publish (configure your index as needed).

Install into another project without publishing:

1. If that project uses uv: uv add <path-to-this-client>
2. If not using uv:
   • Build a wheel: uv build --wheel
   • Install: pip install <path-to-wheel>
