Typed Python client for the Syvain Metrics REST API

Syvain Metrics API Client

Typed Python client for the Syvain Metrics REST API.

This package maps directly onto the REST surface for experiments, folders, metric query endpoints, annotations, and ingestion keys. If you only need to record metrics from a training or evaluation job, use syvain-metrics-collector instead.

Install

uv add syvain-metrics-api-client

Authentication

Use an explicit API key:

from syvain_metrics_api_client import SyvainMetricsApiClient

client = SyvainMetricsApiClient("ak_org_...")

Use installed Syvain CLI auth:

client = SyvainMetricsApiClient("local")

local reads ~/.config/syvain-metrics/auth.json.

Usage

from syvain_metrics_api_client import SyvainMetricsApiClient

client = SyvainMetricsApiClient("local")

experiment = client.create_experiment(
    "mamba-run-001",
    description="Baseline mamba training run",
    metadata={"model": "mamba"},
).experiment

client.ingest_metrics(
    experiment.id,
    [
        {
            "client_event_id": "mamba-run-001/loss/1",
            "name": "loss",
            "value": 0.42,
            "step": 1,
            "metadata": {"split": "train"},
        }
    ],
)

series = client.query_metric_series(
    [
        {
            "experiment_id": experiment.id,
            "metric_name": "loss",
            "filter": {
                "metadata_key": "split",
                "metadata_value": "train",
            },
        }
    ],
    x_axis="step",
    limit=500,
)
catalog = client.query_metrics_catalog([experiment.id])

Every metric must include a stable client_event_id. Reuse the same value when retrying the same event so ingestion can remain idempotent.

Ingest and annotation creation calls mint and cache ingestion keys per experiment. General API calls use the configured API key directly.

Client Surface

Folders:

• list_folders(...)
• create_folder(...)
• get_folder(...)
• patch_folder(...)
• rename_folder(...)
• move_folder(...)

Experiments:

• list_experiments(...)
• create_experiment(...)
• get_experiment(...)
• update_experiment_status(...)
• move_experiment(...)

Metrics:

• query_metric_series(...)
• query_metrics_catalog(...)
• ingest_metrics(...)

Ingestion keys:

• list_ingestion_keys(...)
• create_ingestion_key(...)
• revoke_ingestion_key(...)
• forget_ingestion_credential(...)

Annotations:

• list_annotations(...)
• create_annotation(...)

Authentication:

• auth_status()

Host and Timeouts

The client defaults to https://metrics.syvain.com.

client = SyvainMetricsApiClient(
    "ak_org_...",
    host="https://metrics.syvain.com",
    timeout=10.0,
    ingest_timeout=60.0,
)

timeout applies to ordinary API calls. ingest_timeout applies to metric and annotation ingestion calls.

Write Retries and Idempotency

The client retries transient request failures for idempotent write operations. For POST and PATCH requests it sends a generated Idempotency-Key header and reuses that key across retry attempts for the same logical request.

Metric ingestion idempotency is controlled by each metric's client_event_id. Use deterministic IDs derived from the run, metric name, step, and series metadata when the same event may be retried by caller code.

Errors

All package-specific failures inherit from MetricsApiError.

• MetricsApiRequestError: the API returned an HTTP error or could not be reached
• MetricsApiResponseError: the API returned a successful response that did not match the expected schema
• MetricsApiAuthError: local CLI auth was requested but unavailable or invalid
