Zededa EdgeAI SDK - CLI and Python library for authentication and MLflow integration

Zededa EdgeAI SDK

The Zededa EdgeAI SDK provides both a pluggable command-line interface and a Python library for authenticating with the Zededa EdgeAI backend and preparing ML tooling environments.

Highlights

• 🧩 Modular command registry – each CLI sub-command lives in its own module under edgeai_sdk.commands, making it easy to add new commands such as catalog or model without touching existing code.
• 🧠 Typed service layer – shared HTTP, authentication, catalog, and storage logic is encapsulated under edgeai_sdk.services, so workflows reuse the same battle-tested primitives.
• 🔐 Secure OAuth login – browser-based authentication with automatic callback port discovery and detailed debug logging when needed.
• ⚙️ Environment bootstrap – exports MLflow and MinIO credentials into your shell and keeps helpers available for Python embedding.

Installation

pip install zededa-edgeai-sdk

To work from source:

git clone https://github.com/zededa/edgeai-sdk.git
cd edgeai-sdk
pip install -e .

CLI Usage

Every action is exposed as a sub-command. The current release ships the login, catalog, and set-catalog-context commands; future commands (for models, etc.) follow the same structure.

# Interactive OAuth login with optional catalog selection
zededa-edgeai login

# Login for a specific catalog using the default backend
zededa-edgeai login --catalog development

# Non-interactive login with credentials
zededa-edgeai login --email [e-mail] --prompt-password

# Override backend URL and enable debug logging
EDGEAI_SERVICE_URL=https://custom.backend.local \
  zededa-edgeai login --debug

After a successful login the CLI launches a child shell with the relevant environment variables applied. Exit that shell to return to your previous context.

Catalog Management

List available catalogs and switch between catalogs with an authenticated shell session:

# List all available catalogs
zededa-edgeai catalog --list

# Switch to a catalog and launch authenticated shell (recommended)
zededa-edgeai set-catalog-context development

# List catalogs with custom backend URL and debug logging  
EDGEAI_SERVICE_URL=https://custom.backend.local \
  zededa-edgeai catalog --list --debug

# Switch to catalog with debug logging
zededa-edgeai set-catalog-context production --debug

# Override service URL for one-time use
zededa-edgeai set-catalog-context staging --service-url https://staging.backend.com

The catalog list shows all catalogs you have access to, highlighting your current catalog. The set-catalog-context command switches to a catalog and launches an authenticated shell session with all required environment variables set, similar to the login command.

Available Options

Login Command

zededa-edgeai login [-h]
                    [--catalog CATALOG]
                    [--email EMAIL]
                    [--password PASSWORD]
                    [--prompt-password]
                    [--service-url SERVICE_URL]
                    [--debug]

Catalog Listing Command

zededa-edgeai catalog [-h]
                      [--list]
                      [--service-url SERVICE_URL]
                      [--debug]

Set Catalog Context Command

zededa-edgeai set-catalog-context [-h]
                                  catalog
                                  [--service-url SERVICE_URL]
                                  [--debug]

Python Usage

Use the high-level client, the module helpers, or the command workflow directly:

Authentication

from edgeai_sdk.client import ZededaEdgeAIClient

client = ZededaEdgeAIClient()
creds = client.login(catalog_id="development")
print(creds["environment"]["MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI"])

Catalog Management

from edgeai_sdk.client import ZededaEdgeAIClient

# Using the client
client = ZededaEdgeAIClient()

# List available catalogs (prints formatted output by default)
client.list_catalogs()
# Output:
# Available Catalogs:
# ==================
#  1. demo1
#  2. demo2 (current)
#  3. development
#  4. production
#  5. staging
#
# Total: 5 catalogs
# Current catalog: demo2
# User: [e-mail]

# Get catalog data as dictionary (formatted=False)
catalogs = client.list_catalogs(formatted=False)
print(f"Available catalogs: {catalogs['available_catalogs']}")

# Switch to a catalog
creds = client.switch_catalog("production")

# Or using the module-level convenience functions
from edgeai_sdk import list_catalogs, switch_catalog

# List catalogs (formatted output)
list_catalogs()

# Get catalog data as dictionary
catalogs = list_catalogs(formatted=False)

# Switch catalog
creds = switch_catalog("production")

Direct Command Usage

Call the command workflows directly if you need finer-grained control:

from edgeai_sdk.commands.login import execute_login
from edgeai_sdk.commands.catalogs import execute_catalog_switch, execute_catalog_list

# Login
credentials = execute_login("development", debug=True)

# List catalogs
catalog_info = execute_catalog_list(debug=True)

# Switch catalogs (updates environment variables only)
credentials = execute_catalog_switch("production", debug=True)

Environment variables can be cleared programmatically via edgeai_sdk.client.logout() or edgeai_sdk.environment.clear_environment().

Adding a new command means:

1. Create edgeai_sdk/commands/<command>.py with a CommandSpec registration function.
2. Implement the workflow using the shared services.
3. Optionally expose convenient helpers from client.py or __init__.py.

The CLI automatically discovers commands from the registry.

Environment Variables

The login workflow applies the following variables to the current process and any spawned shells:

• ZEDEDA_CURRENT_CATALOG
• ZEDEDA_ACCESS_TOKEN
• MLFLOW_TRACKING_TOKEN
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• MLFLOW_S3_ENDPOINT_URL
• MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI
• MINIO_BUCKET
• ZEDEDA_BACKEND_URL

Use edgeai_sdk.environment.APPLIED_ENVIRONMENT_KEYS for the authoritative list.

Development

# Run unit tests (creates/uses the local virtual environment)
./.venv/bin/python -m pytest

# Lint or format as needed
ruff check
black edgeai_sdk tests

All new features should include a matching command module and, when backend access is required, a focused service module.

Troubleshooting

• Pass --debug to log all HTTP requests/responses with sensitive fields masked.
• If the browser doesn't open automatically, copy the printed URL into a browser window manually.
• To retry a failed OAuth flow, simply rerun the command; a fresh callback port is selected automatically.
