Official Python SDK for the Yutori API
Project description
Yutori Python SDK & CLI
The official Python SDK and CLI for the Yutori API — build web agents that autonomously execute tasks on the web.
The SDK offers sync and async clients with full type annotations, plus a yutori CLI for authentication and managing resources from the terminal.
Install
On macOS or Linux, the recommended setup is the one-line installer:
curl -fsSL https://yutori.com/install.sh | bash
This installs the global yutori CLI with uv tool install, then — in an interactive terminal — prompts (with sensible defaults) to add the SDK to your project, run yutori auth login, and run a verification browsing task. In a non-interactive session (CI, pipe) the auth and verification prompts are skipped with guidance on how to finish setup.
Python 3.9+ is required for the SDK.
Uninstall the CLI later
curl -fsSL https://yutori.com/uninstall.sh | bash
Removes the global yutori CLI. Saved credentials at ~/.yutori/ are left in place so they survive reinstalls — rm -rf ~/.yutori manually if you want a clean slate. Set YUTORI_UNINSTALL_ASSUME_YES=1 for scripted runs.
Install the package manually
pip install yutori
Or add it to an existing project with uv:
uv add yutori
Authenticate manually
Run this once to save your API key:
yutori auth login
This opens your browser to log in with your Yutori account and saves an API key to ~/.yutori/config.json. The SDK and CLI automatically pick it up.
If you installed the package with uv add, run uv run yutori auth login instead.
Or use an env var / pass the key explicitly:
from yutori import YutoriClient
client = YutoriClient() # Uses saved credentials or YUTORI_API_KEY
client = YutoriClient(api_key="yt-...") # Or pass explicitly
Resolution order: explicit api_key > YUTORI_API_KEY env var > ~/.yutori/config.json.
API Overview
The Yutori API provides four main capabilities:
| API | Description | SDK Namespace |
|---|---|---|
| Navigator | Computer-use model for navigating websites | client.chat |
| Browsing | One-time browser automation tasks | client.browsing |
| Research | Deep web research using 100+ tools | client.research |
| Scouting | Continuous web monitoring on a schedule | client.scouts |
Navigator API
The Navigator API provides a computer-use model for navigating websites. Capture a screenshot, send it to the model, and execute the returned tool calls. The endpoint follows the OpenAI Chat Completions interface, so client.chat is a drop-in OpenAI-compatible client:
from yutori import AsyncYutoriClient
from yutori.navigator import aplaywright_screenshot_to_data_url
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
async with AsyncYutoriClient() as client, async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.launch()
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto("https://www.yutori.com")
image_url = await aplaywright_screenshot_to_data_url(page)
response = await client.chat.completions.create(
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "List the team member names."},
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": image_url}},
],
}
],
)
message = response.choices[0].message
print(message.content) # Model's thoughts
for tool_call in message.tool_calls or []:
# Execute the requested browser action on `page`, append the tool
# result to the conversation, capture a fresh screenshot, and call
# the model again...
...
This snippet shows a single model call. In practice, you'll usually run an agent loop: execute the returned actions on the page, capture a fresh screenshot, and call the model again until it emits stop. Complete agent loops live in examples/.
The SDK defaults to n1.5-latest. n1-latest is still supported for callers that want the older model. n1.5 adds selectable tool sets, disable_tools, and structured JSON output via json_schema (returned as response.parsed_json). See docs for model IDs, parameters, and the full action space.
Agent-loop helpers
The yutori.navigator subpackage exposes optional helpers for typical agent loops:
| Helper | Purpose |
|---|---|
aplaywright_screenshot_to_data_url(page) |
Capture a Playwright screenshot as a Navigator-optimized WebP data URL. |
denormalize_coordinates(coords, width, height) |
Map the model's 1000×1000 coordinate space to viewport pixels. |
format_task_with_context(task, ...) |
Append location, timezone, and current date to a task message. |
format_stop_and_summarize(task) |
Ask the model to summarize when hitting max steps or an error. |
trimmed_messages_to_fit(messages, max_bytes, keep_recent) |
Drop older screenshots to stay under the API size limit. |
map_key_to_playwright(key) / map_keys_individual(keys) |
Convert n1.5's lowercase key names to Playwright format. |
yutori.navigator.tools |
Packaged JS reference implementations for n1.5 expanded tools (extract_elements, find, set_element_value, execute_js). |
Full helper reference: api.md.
If you'd rather not manage browser infrastructure, use the Browsing API below, which runs the Navigator on Yutori's cloud browser.
Browsing API
Run one-time browser automation tasks on Yutori's cloud browser (or on Yutori Local with the user's logged-in desktop sessions):
task = client.browsing.create(
task="Give me a list of all employees (names and titles) of Yutori.",
start_url="https://yutori.com",
)
# Poll for completion
import time
while True:
result = client.browsing.get(task["task_id"])
if result["status"] in ("succeeded", "failed"):
break
time.sleep(5)
print(result)
Common options: require_auth=True for login flows, browser="local" for Yutori Local, webhook_url=... for async completion notifications. Failed tasks may include a rejection_reason.
Structured output
Define the output structure with a JSON Schema dict or a Pydantic model:
from pydantic import BaseModel # optional dependency
class Employee(BaseModel):
name: str
title: str
task = client.browsing.create(
task="Give me a list of all employees (names and titles) of Yutori.",
start_url="https://yutori.com",
output_schema=Employee, # Auto-converted to JSON Schema
webhook_url="https://example.com/webhook",
)
The same output_schema pattern applies to client.research.create and client.scouts.create.
Research API
Perform deep web research using 100+ MCP tools (search engines, APIs, data sources):
task = client.research.create(
query="What are the latest developments in quantum computing from the past week?",
user_timezone="America/Los_Angeles",
)
# Poll for results
while True:
result = client.research.get(task["task_id"])
if result["status"] in ("succeeded", "failed"):
break
time.sleep(5)
Use browser="local" if the research task needs a logged-in browser session. Failed tasks may include a rejection_reason.
Scouting API
Scouts run on a schedule to monitor the web and notify you when relevant updates occur:
scout = client.scouts.create(
query="News, product updates, and announcements about Yutori AI",
output_interval=86400, # Daily (seconds, min 1800)
webhook_url="https://example.com/webhook",
)
# Manage scouts
scouts = client.scouts.list(status="active")
client.scouts.update(scout["id"], status="paused")
client.scouts.update(scout["id"], status="active")
updates = client.scouts.get_updates(scout["id"], limit=20)
client.scouts.delete(scout["id"])
Async Usage
AsyncYutoriClient mirrors YutoriClient with async methods:
import asyncio
from yutori import AsyncYutoriClient
async def main():
async with AsyncYutoriClient() as client:
usage = await client.get_usage()
scouts = await client.scouts.list()
print(usage, scouts)
asyncio.run(main())
Error Handling
from yutori import YutoriClient, APIError, AuthenticationError
try:
client.get_usage()
except AuthenticationError as e:
print(f"Invalid API key: {e}")
except APIError as e:
print(f"API error (status {e.status_code}): {e.message}")
CLI
# Authentication
yutori auth login # Log in via browser
yutori auth status # Show current auth status
yutori auth logout # Remove saved credentials
# Scouts
yutori scouts list
yutori scouts create -q "monitor for news"
yutori scouts create -q "monitor for news" -i daily -tz America/New_York
yutori scouts get SCOUT_ID
yutori scouts delete SCOUT_ID
# Browsing
yutori browse run "extract all prices" https://example.com/products
yutori browse run "log in and continue" https://example.com/login --require-auth
yutori browse run "export dashboard data" https://example.com/dashboard --browser local
yutori browse get TASK_ID
# Research
yutori research run "latest developments in quantum computing" -tz America/Los_Angeles
yutori research get TASK_ID
# Usage
yutori usage
Run yutori --help or yutori <command> --help for full options.
