Quickstart
-
Get your API key from https://cloud.vast.ai/manage-keys/
-
Set your API key:
from vastai_sdk import VastAI
vast = VastAI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
Or set the VAST_API_KEY environment variable and just use:
vast = VastAI()
SDK Usage
Both of these work identically:
from vastai_sdk import VastAI
from vastai import VastAI
Both of these also work identically:
from vastai import Serverless
from vastai_sdk.serverless.client.client import Serverless
vast = VastAI()
vast.search_offers(query='gpu_name=RTX_4090 num_gpus>=4')
vast.show_instances()
vast.start_instance(id=12345)
vast.stop_instance(id=12345)
Use help(vast.search_offers) to view documentation for any method.
Using the Serverless Client
- Create the client
from vastai import Serverless
serverless = Serverless() # or, Serverless("YOUR_API_KEY")
- Get an endpoint
endpoint = await serverless.get_endpoint("my-endpoint")
- Make a request
request_body = {
"model": "Qwen/Qwen3-8B",
"prompt" : "Who are you?",
"max_tokens" : 100,
"temperature" : 0.7
}
response = await serverless.request("/v1/completions", request_body)
- Read the response
text = response["response"]["choices"][0]["text"]
print(text)
