This library provides convenient access to the Scalar REST API from Python.

The full API of this library can be found in api.md.

Installation

pip install scalar-sdk

Usage

import os

from scalar_sdk import Scalar

client = Scalar(
    bearer_auth=os.environ.get("BEARER_AUTH"),
)

registry = client.registry.list_all_api_documents()

print(registry)

The examples in the following sections assume a client configured as shown above.

See the API reference for every available operation.

Async

Every client has an Async counterpart (AsyncScalar) exposing the same resource tree with await.

import asyncio

from scalar_sdk import AsyncScalar


async def main() -> None:
    client = AsyncScalar()
    registry = await client.registry.list_all_api_documents()


asyncio.run(main())

Authentication

Pass credentials to the generated client constructor. Environment variables are read automatically when supported by the target runtime.

Declared schemes:

• BearerAuth bearer token
• OAuth2 OAuth2/OpenID Connect

Errors

Non-success responses throw generated API errors. Error objects expose status, headers, response body, and request metadata where the target runtime supports it.

from scalar_sdk import APIStatusError

try:
    registry = client.registry.list_all_api_documents()
except APIStatusError as err:
    print(err.status_code, err.message)
    raise

Documented error statuses: 400, 401, 403, 404, 422, 500.

Client Options

Configure the generated client by setting any of these options when you create it.

from scalar_sdk import Scalar

client = Scalar(
    timeout=60.0,
    max_retries=2,
)

Retries and Timeouts

Generated clients support request timeouts and retry temporary failures such as network errors, 408, 409, 429, and 5xx responses. Retry delays honor Retry-After headers when present. Tune the retry and timeout client options shown above, or override them per request.

Helpers

• Use client.with_raw_response.<resource>.<method>(...) to access the raw httpx.Response and parse it yourself.
• Use client.with_streaming_response.<resource>.<method>(...) to stream a response body without buffering it.

Logging

• Set the SCALAR_LOG environment variable to info or debug to enable HTTP logging.
• Logs are emitted through the standard logging module under the scalar_sdk logger.

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or newer
