vairified 0.2.0

Official Python SDK for the Vairified Partner API

Vairified Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the Vairified Partner API
Multi-sport player ratings, search, and bulk match submission

---

Async-first Python SDK for the Vairified Partner API. Built on httpx and pydantic v2, with a surface designed to feel native: properties instead of getters, dict-like access to rating splits, auto-paginating search, and a sub-resource layout that mirrors the REST API.

Installation

pip install vairified

Or with uv:

uv add vairified

Quick Start

import asyncio
from vairified import Vairified

async def main() -> None:
    async with Vairified(api_key="vair_pk_xxx") as client:
        member = await client.members.get("vair_mem_xxx")
        print(member.name, "rated", member.rating_for("pickleball"))

asyncio.run(main())

The client is an async context manager — opening it creates an httpx.AsyncClient, closing it releases the underlying connection pool.

Sub-resources

Every operation lives on a sub-resource that matches the REST path:

Sub-resource	Operations
client.members	get, search, find, rating_updates
client.matches	submit, test_webhook
client.oauth	authorize, exchange_token, refresh, revoke
client.leaderboard	list, rank, categories
client.usage()	Rate-limit + request-count stats

Members

Get a connected member

async with Vairified(api_key="vair_pk_xxx") as client:
    member = await client.members.get("vair_mem_xxx")

    print(member.name)                      # Full name
    print(member.display_name)               # "Mike B."
    print(member.rating_for("pickleball"))   # 3.915
    print(member.status.is_vairified)        # True

    # Dict-like access to rating splits for a specific sport
    pb = member.sport["pickleball"]
    print(pb.rating, pb.abbr)                # 3.915 VO
    print(pb["overall-open"].rating)         # 3.915
    print("singles-open" in pb)              # True
    for key, split in pb:
        print(key, split.rating)

Filter ratings to specific sports

# Just pickleball
member = await client.members.get("vair_mem_xxx", sport="pickleball")

# Multiple sports
member = await client.members.get(
    "vair_mem_xxx",
    sport=["pickleball", "padel"],
)

Auto-paginating search

search() is an async iterator — it streams results one member at a time, fetching pages lazily as you iterate. break early when you have what you need, or cap with max_results.

async with Vairified(api_key="vair_pk_xxx") as client:
    async for member in client.members.search(
        city="Austin",
        state="TX",
        rating_min=3.5,
        rating_max=4.5,
        vairified_only=True,
    ):
        print(member.name, member.rating_for("pickleball"))

    # Find first N across pages
    top_20: list = []
    async for m in client.members.search(name="Smith", max_results=20):
        top_20.append(m)

Find by name (first hit only)

mike = await client.members.find("Mike Barker")
if mike:
    print(mike.rating_for("pickleball"))

Rating change notifications

updates = await client.members.rating_updates()
for update in updates:
    arrow = "↑" if update.improved else "↓"
    print(f"{update.display_name} {arrow} delta={update.delta:+.3f}")

Match Submission

Matches are submitted as a MatchBatch — defaults at the batch level apply to every match unless overridden. The shape is n-team × n-game, so singles, doubles, and round-robin all go through the same path.

from vairified import Vairified, MatchBatch, Match, Game

async with Vairified(api_key="vair_pk_xxx") as client:
    batch = MatchBatch(
        sport="pickleball",
        win_score=11,
        win_by=2,
        bracket="4.0 Doubles",
        event="Weekly League",
        match_date="2026-04-11T14:00:00Z",
        matches=[
            Match(
                identifier="m1",
                teams=[["vair_mem_aaa", "vair_mem_bbb"],
                       ["vair_mem_ccc", "vair_mem_ddd"]],
                games=[Game(scores=[11, 8]), Game(scores=[11, 5])],
            ),
            Match(
                identifier="m2",
                teams=[["vair_mem_eee"], ["vair_mem_fff"]],   # singles
                games=[Game(scores=[11, 9]), Game(scores=[11, 7])],
            ),
        ],
    )
    result = await client.matches.submit(batch)
    if result.ok:
        print(f"Submitted {result.num_games} games in {result.num_matches} matches")

Set batch.dry_run = True to validate without persisting — your API key must have the dry-run scope.

OAuth Connect Flow

import secrets
from vairified import Vairified, OAuthError

async with Vairified(api_key="vair_pk_xxx") as client:
    # Step 1 — start authorization
    state = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
    auth = await client.oauth.authorize(
        redirect_uri="https://myapp.com/oauth/callback",
        scopes=["profile:read", "rating:read", "match:submit"],
        state=state,
    )
    redirect_to = auth.authorization_url

    # Step 2 — exchange the callback code
    tokens = await client.oauth.exchange_token(
        code="code-from-callback",
        redirect_uri="https://myapp.com/oauth/callback",
    )
    access = tokens.access_token
    refresh = tokens.refresh_token
    player_id = tokens.player_id

    # Step 3 — refresh when the access token expires
    try:
        new_tokens = await client.oauth.refresh(refresh)
    except OAuthError as e:
        if e.error_code == "invalid_grant":
            ...  # user must re-authorize

    # Step 4 — revoke the connection
    await client.oauth.revoke(player_id)

Available scopes

Scope	Description
profile:read	Name, location, verification status
profile:email	Email address
rating:read	Current rating and rating splits
rating:history	Complete rating history
match:submit	Submit matches on behalf of user
webhook:subscribe	Rating change notifications

Leaderboards

async with Vairified(api_key="vair_pk_xxx") as client:
    # Global doubles leaderboard
    lb = await client.leaderboard.list()

    # Texas singles, verified only
    tx = await client.leaderboard.list(
        category="singles",
        scope="state",
        state="TX",
        verified_only=True,
        limit=50,
    )

    # A specific player's rank with 5 players on either side
    rank = await client.leaderboard.rank(
        "vair_mem_xxx",
        category="doubles",
        context_size=5,
    )
    print(f"#{rank['rank']} (top {rank['percentile']:.1f}%)")

    # Available categories, brackets, scopes
    categories = await client.leaderboard.categories()

Models

All response models are immutable pydantic v2 BaseModels. They accept both snake_case (Python) and camelCase (wire) field names, and tolerate new fields from the server so your code keeps working across API additions.

Member

member.member_id                     # Numeric member ID
member.id                            # UUID
member.name                          # Full name (property)
member.display_name                  # "Mike B."
member.first_name                    # "Mike"
member.last_name                     # "Barker"
member.gender                        # Gender enum (MALE | FEMALE | OTHER | UNKNOWN)
member.age
member.city / state / zip / country
member.status.is_vairified           # Grouped status flags
member.status.is_connected
member.sport                         # dict[str, SportRating]
member.sports                        # ["pickleball", "padel"] (property)
member.rating_for("pickleball")      # float | None
member.split("overall-open")         # RatingSplit | None

SportRating (dict-like)

pb = member.sport["pickleball"]
pb.rating                     # Primary rating for this sport
pb.abbr                       # "VO", "VG", etc.
pb["overall-open"].rating     # Any split key
len(pb)                       # Number of splits
"singles-40+" in pb           # Membership check
for key, split in pb: ...     # Iterate (yields (key, RatingSplit) tuples)

Match / MatchBatch

Request-side models use camelCase aliases (winScore, winBy, matchDate) when serialized — write Python in snake_case, the wire stays consistent.

batch = MatchBatch(
    sport="pickleball",
    win_score=11,
    win_by=2,
    match_date="2026-04-11T14:00:00Z",
    matches=[
        Match(
            identifier="m1",
            teams=[["p1", "p2"], ["p3", "p4"]],   # n-team × n-player
            games=[Game(scores=[11, 8]),           # n-game match
                   Game(scores=[11, 5])],
        ),
    ],
)

RatingUpdate

update.member_id
update.previous_rating
update.new_rating
update.delta        # new - previous (or None)
update.improved     # True if delta > 0
update.changed_at
