Sympheny Toolbox

A typed Python client for the Sympheny SaaS API — full coverage of the documented API with synchronous and asynchronous support, plus high-level helpers to automate common workflows (create scenarios, run optimizations, manage variants, and more).

Install

pip install sympheny-toolbox

Requires Python 3.11+.

Quick start

from sympheny_toolbox import Sympheny

client = Sympheny("you@example.com", "your-password")  # is_dev=True for the dev environment

for project in client.projects.list():
    print(project.project_name)

The same API is available asynchronously via AsyncSympheny:

from sympheny_toolbox import AsyncSympheny

async with AsyncSympheny("you@example.com", "your-password") as client:
    projects = await client.projects.list()

Credentials can also be loaded from a Java-style .properties file (username=... / password=...):

from sympheny_toolbox.utils import load_creds_basic

username, password = load_creds_basic("creds.properties")

Tip: Don't commit credential files — use a secrets manager or .gitignore.

Client structure

Every documented endpoint of the Sympheny API (docs/sympheny_openapi.json) is available as a typed method on a resource group:

Requests and responses use Pydantic models generated from the OpenAPI spec (sympheny_toolbox.models). Errors are raised as sympheny_toolbox.errors.SymphenyError subclasses (APIError, AuthenticationError, NotFoundError).

from sympheny_toolbox import Sympheny, models

client = Sympheny("you@example.com", "your-password")

project = client.projects.create(models.ProjectRequestDto(project_name="My Project", version=models.Version.v2))
analysis = client.analyses.create(project.project_guid, models.AnalysisRequestDto(analysis_name="My Analysis"))

Only V2 projects are supported — client.projects.create raises ValueError for any other version.

Workflows

Higher-level automation flows that combine multiple API calls live in sympheny_toolbox.workflows (synchronous client only):

from sympheny_toolbox import Sympheny, workflows

client = Sympheny("you@example.com", "your-password")

# Find things by name
project = workflows.find_project(client, "My Project")
analysis = workflows.find_analysis(client, "My Analysis", str(project.project_guid))
scenario = workflows.find_scenario(client, "Base", str(analysis.analysis_guid))

# Create a scenario from an Excel file
scenario_guid = workflows.create_scenario_from_excel(client, "scenario.xlsx", "demo", str(analysis.analysis_guid))
print(workflows.scenario_url(client, scenario_guid))

# Create scenario variants (from a file or from in-memory data)
workflows.create_variants_from_excel(client, "variants.xlsx", scenario_guid)

# Execute and fetch results
job = workflows.execute_scenario(client, scenario_guid)
results = workflows.get_output_file_dict(client, job.id, solution_num=1)
print(workflows.dashboard_url(client, scenario_guid))

# Or submit several scenarios in a single request, without waiting for results
requests = [workflows.build_solver_job_request(guid) for guid in (scenario_guid,)]
workflows.execute_scenarios(client, requests, wait=False)

Rename a scenario in place with client.scenarios.rename(scenario_guid, models.ScenarioRequestDto(scenario_name="...")).

EnyMap scenarios

scenario_guid = workflows.create_enymap_scenario(
    client,
    scenario_name="enymap_demo",
    analysis_guid=analysis_guid,
    techs=["PV", "HEAT_PUMP"],
    demands=["ELECTRICITY", "SPACE_HEATING"],
    imports=["ELECTRICITY"],
    exports=["HEAT_AMBIENT"],
    polygon=[[lon, lat], ...],
)

Migrating from 1.x

Version 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite and a breaking change:

• The Sympheny class is now imported from the package root: from sympheny_toolbox import Sympheny.
• Endpoint calls moved to resource groups (client.projects.list() instead of s.list_projects()), return typed Pydantic models instead of dicts, and an async client (AsyncSympheny) was added.
• The old high-level methods (find_project, create_scenario_from_excel, execute_scenario, ...) moved to sympheny_toolbox.workflows as functions taking the client as first argument.
• Undocumented endpoints are now clearly separated under client.unofficial.
• Dependencies were slimmed down to httpx, pydantic, and openpyxl (requests, pandas, polars, and jproperties were dropped).

Development

The client is layered as follows:

• sympheny_toolbox/models.py — Pydantic models, generated from docs/sympheny_openapi.json via scripts/generate_models.py.
• sympheny_toolbox/_async/ — the hand-written asynchronous client (source of truth).
• sympheny_toolbox/_sync/ — the synchronous client, generated from _async/ via scripts/generate_sync.py (unasync-style transform).
• sympheny_toolbox/workflows.py, excel.py, utils.py — hand-written helpers.

After changing anything under _async/, regenerate with uv run python scripts/generate_sync.py. Run all checks (drift check, ruff, mypy, pytest) with ./scripts/check.sh.

Tests live under tests/ and run against a mock API (httpx.MockTransport) — they never hit the real Sympheny API, so no credentials are needed to run them.

Releasing

Bump the version in pyproject.toml (semantic versioning), then push a matching vX.Y.Z tag. The publish workflow verifies that the tag matches the project version, runs all checks, and publishes to PyPI.
