vastai-sdk 0.1.18

SDK for Vast.ai GPU Cloud Service

🪄 Vast.ai Magic Comes To Python!

It's everything you love from the Vast.ai CLI tool, wrapped neatly in an easy-to-use Python interface!

📦 What's in the pip?

Why, it’s not just an SDK—it’s an entire development philosophy in a single import statement! With just a humble pip install, you unlock:

• ⚡ Lightning-fast integrations: So easy, it practically writes your code for you.
• 🛡️ Error-free operations: Bugs? Banished. Exceptions? Extinct. Our SDK makes them a thing of the past!
• 🌍 Infinite scalability: Whether you’re running on a potato or the world’s fastest supercomputer, we’ve got you covered!

👀 Let's Sneak A Peek!

Under the hood we are using what the CLI tool uses and so the documentation is the same. The arguments are the same.

🐚 shell: vastai cast --spell='abracadabra'

🐍 python: vastai.cast(spell='abracadabra')

Just a little something like this and we're ready to roll!

import vastai_sdk
vastai = vastai_sdk.VastAI()

In fact, try this right now. I'll wait!

$ pip install vastai-sdk
$ python
Python 3.11.2 (main, Aug 26 2024, 07:20:54) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vastai_sdk
>>> v = vastai_sdk.VastAI()
>>> v.search_offers()

This is easy, you got this!

What about the return values?

JSONable objects, exactly as --raw would send to your pretty terminal. It's really the same.

Alright, but what about an API key, what's the catch?

You can provide it in the class instantiation: vastai.VastAI("My-magnificent-key")

OR, if you leave it blank it will look for a key in the same place as the CLI, right there in your friendly $HOME directory.

The creds_source @property will tell you where what's being used came from. Example:

>>> v=vastai_sdk.VastAI("Not-My-Real-Key-Don't-Worry!")
>>> v.creds_source
'CODE'
>>> v.api_key
"Not-My-Real-Key-Don't-Worry!"
>>>

Introspection, __doc__, __sig__?

Yes, yes, and yes. It's all in there. Try this at the handy python prompt

>>> help(v.create_instance)

Pretty nice, right? Now do this! (No Spoilers!)

>>> help(v.<tab>

All the helpers are there so your vscode, emacs, ipython, and neovim sessions will fly as your fingertips tab away.

Help, support, all that stuff?

Sure. Just head over to GitHub issues.

Thanks for using Vast.ai. We 💖 you!
