Project description

xpander.ai SDK

Python 3.9+ License: MIT Documentation PyPI Version Downloads

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://inbound.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 = await agents.aget("agent-id")

# Create and execute a task
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 = await tasks.aget("task-id")
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
def check_weather(location: str) -> str:
    """Check weather for a given location."""
    return f"Weather in {location}: Sunny, 25°C"

# Register a tool with graph synchronization
@register_tool(add_to_graph=True)
async def analyze_data(data: list, analysis_type: str) -> dict:
    """Analyze data from multiple sources."""
    return {
        "analysis_type": analysis_type,
        "data_points": len(data),
        "status": "completed"
    }

# Use tools repository
tools = ToolsRepository(configuration=config)
weather_tool = tools.get_tool_by_id("check_weather")
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, Events

# Basic task handler
@on_task
async def handle_task(task):
    print(f"Processing task: {task.id}")
    # Task processing logic here
    task.result = "Task processed successfully"
    return task

# Task handler with configuration
@on_task(configuration=config)
def sync_task_handler(task):
    print(f"Handling task synchronously: {task.id}")
    task.result = "Sync processing complete"
    return task

# Start event listener
events = Events(configuration=config)
await events.start(on_execution_request=handle_task)

KnowledgeBases Knowledge management and search Knowledge Guide
Events Event-driven programming Events Guide

🔄 Async/Sync Support

The SDK provides both asynchronous and synchronous interfaces:

# Asynchronous (recommended for production)
agent = await Agent.aload("agent-id")
task = await agent.acreate_task(prompt="input data")

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

📖 Advanced Examples

Multi-Agent Orchestration

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

# Chain agent executions
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
)

# Stream events from the task
async for event in task.aevents():
    print(f"Event Type: {event.type}")
    print(f"Event Data: {event.data}")

Local Task Testing

from xpander_sdk.modules.tasks.models.task import LocalTaskTest, AgentExecutionInput
from xpander_sdk.models.shared import OutputFormat
from xpander_sdk import on_task

# Define a local test task
local_task = LocalTaskTest(
    input=AgentExecutionInput(text="What can you do?"),
    output_format=OutputFormat.Json,
    output_schema={"capabilities": "list of capabilities"}
)

# Test with local task
@on_task(test_task=local_task)
async def handle_test_task(task):
    task.result = {
        "capabilities": [
            "Data analysis",
            "Text processing", 
            "API integration"
        ]
    }
    return task
