xpander.ai Backend-as-a-service for AI Agents - SDK

Project description

xpander.ai SDK

Python 3.9+ License: MIT Documentation

The official Python SDK for xpander.ai - a powerful Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents at scale.

🚀 Overview

xpander.ai SDK provides comprehensive tools for:

  • Agent Management: Create, configure, and manage AI agents
  • Task Execution: Handle complex task workflows and execution
  • Tools Repository: Integrate external tools and services
  • Knowledge Bases: Manage and search knowledge repositories
  • Event Handling: Event-driven programming with decorators
  • Real-time Monitoring: Track agent performance and execution

📦 Installation

pip install xpander-sdk

With Optional Dependencies

# For Agno framework support
pip install xpander-sdk[agno]

# For development
pip install xpander-sdk[dev]

🔧 Quick Start

1. Configuration

from xpander_sdk import Configuration

# Using environment variables (recommended)
config = Configuration()

# Or explicit configuration
config = Configuration(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    organization_id="your-org-id",
    base_url="https://api.xpander.ai"
)

2. Basic Agent Operations

from xpander_sdk import Agents, Agent, Tasks

# Initialize agents module
agents = Agents(configuration=config)

# List all agents
agent_list = await agents.alist()

# Load existing agent
agent = Agent.load("agent-id", configuration=config)

# Create and execute a task
# Note: acreate_task is an asynchronous function
task = await agent.acreate_task(
    prompt="Help me analyze this data",
    file_urls=["https://example.com/data.csv"]
)

3. Task Management

from xpander_sdk import Tasks, Task

# Initialize tasks module
tasks = Tasks(configuration=config)

# Load and manage tasks
task = Task.load("task-id", configuration=config)
await task.aset_status(AgentExecutionStatus.Running)
await task.asave()

4. Tools Integration

from xpander_sdk import register_tool, ToolsRepository

# Register a local tool
@register_tool(
    name="weather_check",
    description="Check weather for a location"
)
def check_weather(location: str) -> str:
    return f"Weather in {location}: Sunny, 25°C"

# Use tools repository
tools = ToolsRepository(configuration=config)
weather_tool = tools.get_tool_by_id("weather_check")
# Note: ainvoke is an asynchronous function
result = await weather_tool.ainvoke(
    agent_id="agent-id",
    payload={"location": "New York"}
)

5. Knowledge Base Operations

from xpander_sdk import KnowledgeBases, KnowledgeBase

# Initialize knowledge bases
kb_module = KnowledgeBases(configuration=config)

# Create knowledge base
kb = await kb_module.acreate(
    name="Company Docs",
    description="Internal documentation"
)

# Add documents
documents = await kb.aadd_documents([
    "https://example.com/doc1.pdf",
    "https://example.com/doc2.txt"
])

# Search knowledge base
results = await kb.asearch(
    search_query="product pricing",
    top_k=5
)

6. Event-Driven Programming

from xpander_sdk import on_task

@on_task(status="completed")
async def handle_task_completion(task):
    print(f"Task {task.id} completed with result: {task.result}")

@on_task(status="failed")
async def handle_task_failure(task):
    print(f"Task {task.id} failed: {task.error}")

🔄 Async/Sync Support

The SDK provides both asynchronous and synchronous interfaces:

# Asynchronous (recommended for production)
# Note: aload is an asynchronous class method
agent = await Agent.aload("agent-id")
# Note: acreate_task is an asynchronous function
task = await agent.acreate_task(prompt="input data")

# Synchronous (convenient for scripts)
agent = Agent.load("agent-id")
task = agent.create_task(prompt="input data")

🔒 Authentication

The SDK supports multiple authentication methods:

Environment Variables (Recommended)

export XPANDER_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID="your-org-id"
export XPANDER_BASE_URL="https://api.xpander.ai"  # Optional

Configuration Object

config = Configuration(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    organization_id="your-org-id"
)

From File

# .env file
XPANDER_API_KEY=your-api-key
XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID=your-org-id

# Python code
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
config = Configuration()

🚨 Error Handling

from xpander_sdk.exceptions import ModuleException

try:
    agent = await Agent.aload("invalid-agent-id")
except ModuleException as e:
    print(f"Error {e.status_code}: {e.description}")

📖 Advanced Examples

Multi-Agent Orchestration

# Load multiple specialized agents
agents_list = await agents.alist()
data_agent = Agent.load("data-agent-id")
writer_agent = Agent.load("writer-agent-id")

# Chain agent executions
# Note: acreate_task is an asynchronous function
analysis_task = await data_agent.acreate_task(prompt="Analyze sales data")
report_task = await writer_agent.acreate_task(
    prompt=f"Write a report based on: {analysis_task.result}"
)

Tool Integration with MCP Servers

from xpander_sdk import MCPServerDetails, MCPServerType

# Configure MCP server
mcp_server = MCPServerDetails(
    name="data-server",
    type=MCPServerType.STDIO,
    command="python",
    args=["-m", "mcp_server"],
    env={"API_KEY": "your-key"}
)

# MCP servers are configured at the platform level
# and tools become available through ToolsRepository

Streaming Task Execution

# Create a task with event streaming enabled
task = await agent.acreate_task(
    prompt="complex analysis task",
    events_streaming=True
)

# Note: aevents is an asynchronous generator function
async for event in task.aevents():
    print(f"Event Type: {event.type}")
    print(f"Event Data: {event.data}")
