sidearmdrm 0.6.0

Python SDK for the Sidearm API — protect media from AI training, detect AI content, and search for stolen work

sidearmdrm

Python SDK for the Sidearm API. Protect media from AI training, detect AI content, search for stolen work.

Install

pip install sidearmdrm

Quick Start

from sidearm import Sidearm

client = Sidearm(api_key="sk_live_...")
job = client.protect(media_url="https://example.com/art.png", level="maximum")
result = job.wait()
print(result)

Protection

# Preset level (auto-selects algorithms)
job = client.protect(media_url="https://...", level="standard", tags=["portfolio"])

# Run specific algorithms by name
job = client.run(algorithms=["nightshade", "glaze", "hmark"], media_url="https://...")

Job Polling

Async endpoints return a Job handle with built-in polling:

# Wait until done (default 120s timeout, 2s interval)
result = job.wait(timeout=120, interval=2)

# Manual poll
status = job.poll()

# Resume from a previous job ID
resumed = client.jobs.handle("job-uuid")
resumed.wait()

Algorithms

all_algos = client.algorithms.list()
audio = client.algorithms.list(media_type="audio")
open_algos = client.algorithms.list(category="open")

Detection

# AI content detection (async)
ai_job = client.detect.ai(media_url="https://...")
ai_result = ai_job.wait()

# Fingerprint detection (sync)
matches = client.detect.fingerprint(media_url="https://...", tier="perceptual")

# Membership inference
mem_job = client.detect.membership(
    content_ids=["uuid-1", "uuid-2"],
    suspect_model="stable-diffusion-xl",
    method="combined",
)
mem_result = mem_job.wait()

Search

results = client.search.run(media_url="https://...", type="perceptual", limit=10)
history = client.search.list(limit=20)

Media Management

media = client.media.register(media_url="https://...", mode="basic")
library = client.media.list(limit=50)
asset = client.media.get("uuid")
client.media.update("uuid", original_media_url="https://...")
client.media.delete("uuid")

Rights and Billing

rights = client.rights.get("media-uuid")
billing = client.billing.get("account-uuid", start_date="2026-01-01")

Error Handling

from sidearm import Sidearm, SidearmError

try:
    client.protect(media_url="...")
except SidearmError as e:
    print(e)          # Human-readable message
    print(e.status)   # HTTP status code
    print(e.body)     # Raw response body

Context Manager

with Sidearm(api_key="sk_live_...") as client:
    job = client.protect(media_url="https://...")
    result = job.wait()

Requirements
