vlunaai

Official async Python SDK for VlunaAI Billing and Usage Gate APIs.

The SDK bundles:

• A shared async HTTP client (httpx) with retries + idempotency keys
• Authentication helpers (Service Key signing, Bearer token via context)
• Generated Pydantic v2 models

Documentation:

• https://docs.vluna.ai/docs/adapters/sdk

Installation

pip install vlunaai

Requires Python >= 3.8.

Package contents

• Async service client for server-to-server (/mgt/v1) APIs
• Async bearer client for end-user (/api/v1) APIs
• Service Key authentication helpers
• Generated Pydantic v2 models and typed request/response surfaces

Quickstart (Service Key, server-to-server)

Configure Service Key auth (S2S):

• If you use Vluna Cloud (hosted), get these values from the dashboard.
• If you self-host, provision them using your Vluna deployment and service-key setup flow.

Set them in the environment where you run your sdk integration:

export VLUNA_REALM_ID='...'
export VLUNA_SERVICE_KEY_ID='pk-...'
export VLUNA_SERVICE_KEY_SECRET='...'

Use ServiceClient for service-to-service calls to the management surface (/mgt/v1).

Quickstart (Bearer token, end-user calls)

Use BearerClient for user/bearer-auth calls to the public surface (/api/v1).

In a typical setup, your frontend/mobile app fetches an platform access token from your backend (issued via the S2S flow above), then uses it as a bearer token for end-user calls.

import asyncio
import os

from vlunaai import (
  VlunaAIConfig,
  BearerClientOptions,
  RequestContext,
  create_bearer_client,
)


def env(name: str) -> str:
  value = os.environ.get(name)
  if not value:
    raise RuntimeError(f'Missing environment variable: {name}')
  return value


async def main() -> None:
  bearer_base_url = os.environ.get('VLUNA_BEARER_BASE_URL', 'https://us-central1.api.vluna.ai/api/v1')
  realm_id = env('VLUNA_REALM_ID')
  access_token = env('VLUNA_ACCESS_TOKEN')  # obtain from your backend (see ServiceClient.issue_platform_token)

  client = create_bearer_client(
    BearerClientOptions(
      config=VlunaAIConfig(
        base_url=bearer_base_url,
        realm_id=realm_id,
      )
    )
  )
  try:
    ctx = RequestContext(access_token=access_token)
    products = await client.list_catalog_products(context=ctx)
    print(products)
  finally:
    await client.close()


asyncio.run(main())

Key concepts

realm_id

• Required in VlunaAIConfig.
• Identifies the Realm (business project) and is sent as X-Realm-Id on every request.

billing_account_id

• Payor/account-scoped endpoints may use billing_account_id (sent as X-Billing-Account-Id) or principal_id.
• Runtime metering and gate endpoints should not use billing_account_id as the user subject.

principal_id

• Your business identifier for the payor account (for example org_id, team_id, or workspace_id).
• For service-key runtime calls, pass it with user_id via RequestContext(principal_id=..., user_id=...).

user_id

• Your business identifier for the runtime user inside the billing account.
• Required with principal_id for service-key gate, wallet, budget, and event calls.
