SDK Overview - Pragmatiks

The Pragmatiks SDK provides Python clients for managing resources programmatically. It offers both synchronous and asynchronous clients, typed responses, and utilities for building providers.

Installation

uv add pragmatiks-sdk

pip install pragmatiks-sdk

Quick Start

from pragma_sdk import PragmaClient

# Client auto-discovers credentials from CLI login or environment
with PragmaClient() as client:
    # List all resources
    resources = client.list_resources()

    # Filter by provider
    gcp_resources = client.list_resources(provider="gcp")

    # Apply a resource
    result = client.apply_resource({
        "provider": "gcp",
        "resource": "storage",
        "name": "my-bucket",
        "config": {"location": "EU"}
    })

Authentication

The SDK discovers credentials in this order:

Explicit token - Pass auth_token to the client
Context-specific environment variable - PRAGMA_AUTH_TOKEN_{CONTEXT} (uppercase)
Generic environment variable - PRAGMA_AUTH_TOKEN
CLI credentials file - Tokens stored by pragma auth login

# Auto-discovery (recommended)
client = PragmaClient()

# Explicit token
client = PragmaClient(auth_token="your-token-here")

# Named context
client = PragmaClient(context="production")

# Require authentication (raises ValueError if no token found)
client = PragmaClient(require_auth=True)

# Disable authentication
client = PragmaClient(auth_token=None)

Contexts

Contexts allow switching between environments (e.g., development, staging, production):

# Uses PRAGMA_AUTH_TOKEN_PRODUCTION or credentials file
client = PragmaClient(context="production")

Set the default context via environment variable:

export PRAGMA_CONTEXT=production

PragmaClient

Synchronous client for the Pragmatiks API. Use as a context manager to ensure connections are closed.

Constructor

PragmaClient(
    base_url: str | None = None,      # API URL (default: PRAGMA_API_URL or localhost:8000)
    timeout: float = 10.0,            # Request timeout in seconds
    auth_token: str | None = ...,     # Bearer token (omit for auto-discovery)
    context: str | None = None,       # Named context for token lookup
    require_auth: bool = False,       # Raise if no token found
)

Context Manager

with PragmaClient() as client:
    resources = client.list_resources()
# Connection automatically closed

# Or manually close:
client = PragmaClient()
try:
    resources = client.list_resources()
finally:
    client.close()

Health Check

def is_healthy() -> bool

Check if the API is reachable and healthy.

with PragmaClient() as client:
    if client.is_healthy():
        print("API is available")
    else:
        print("API is unavailable")

Get Current User

def get_me() -> UserInfo

Get information about the authenticated user.

from pragma_sdk import PragmaClient, UserInfo

with PragmaClient() as client:
    user = client.get_me()
    print(f"User: {user.email}")
    print(f"Organization: {user.organization_name}")

Returns: UserInfo with user_id, email, organization_id, and organization_name. Raises: httpx.HTTPStatusError if not authenticated (401).

Resource Operations

list_resources

def list_resources(
    provider: str | None = None,      # Filter by provider name
    resource: str | None = None,      # Filter by resource type
    tags: list[str] | None = None,    # Filter by tags (must match all)
    *,
    model: type[ResourceT] | None = None,  # Typed response class
) -> list[ResourceT] | list[dict[str, Any]]

List resources with optional filters. Returns dictionaries by default, or typed instances if model is provided.

# List all resources as dictionaries
resources = client.list_resources()

# Filter by provider
gcp_resources = client.list_resources(provider="gcp")

# Filter by resource type
warehouses = client.list_resources(provider="gcp", resource="warehouse")

# Filter by tags
production = client.list_resources(tags=["env:production"])

# Typed response (see "Typed Responses" section)
from myapp.models import Database
databases = client.list_resources(provider="mycloud", resource="database", model=Database)

list_resource_types

def list_resource_types(
    provider: str | None = None,  # Filter by provider
) -> list[dict[str, Any]]

List available resource types from deployed providers.

# List all resource types
types = client.list_resource_types()

for rt in types:
    print(f"{rt['provider']}/{rt['resource']}: {rt['description']}")

# Filter by provider
gcp_types = client.list_resource_types(provider="gcp")

Returns: List of resource definitions with provider, resource, schema, and description.

get_resource

def get_resource(
    provider: str,                    # Provider that manages the resource
    resource: str,                    # Resource type name
    name: str,                        # Resource instance name
    *,
    model: type[ResourceT] | None = None,  # Typed response class
) -> ResourceT | dict[str, Any]

Get a single resource by its identifier.

# Get as dictionary
bucket = client.get_resource("gcp", "storage", "my-bucket")
print(bucket["lifecycle_state"])  # "ready"

# Typed response
from myapp.models import Bucket
bucket = client.get_resource("gcp", "storage", "my-bucket", model=Bucket)
print(bucket.lifecycle_state)  # LifecycleState.READY

Raises: httpx.HTTPStatusError if resource not found (404).

apply_resource

def apply_resource(
    resource: ResourceT | dict[str, Any],  # Resource to create or update
    *,
    model: type[ResourceT] | None = None,  # Typed response class
) -> ResourceT | dict[str, Any]

Create a new resource or update an existing one.

# Apply from dictionary
result = client.apply_resource({
    "provider": "gcp",
    "resource": "storage",
    "name": "my-bucket",
    "config": {"location": "EU", "storage_class": "STANDARD"},
    "tags": ["env:production"],
})

# Apply typed resource
from myapp.models import Bucket, BucketConfig
bucket = Bucket(
    name="my-bucket",
    config=BucketConfig(location="EU", storage_class="STANDARD"),
    tags=["env:production"],
)
result = client.apply_resource(bucket, model=Bucket)

delete_resource

def delete_resource(
    provider: str,
    resource: str,
    name: str,
) -> None

Delete a resource. The resource enters the deletion lifecycle and is removed after cleanup.

client.delete_resource("gcp", "storage", "my-bucket")

Raises: httpx.HTTPStatusError if resource not found (404).

Dead Letter Operations

Dead letter events are failed lifecycle events that can be retried or discarded.

list_dead_letter_events

def list_dead_letter_events(
    provider: str | None = None,  # Filter by provider
) -> list[dict[str, Any]]

List failed events awaiting manual intervention.

# List all dead letter events
events = client.list_dead_letter_events()

# Filter by provider
gcp_events = client.list_dead_letter_events(provider="gcp")

for event in events:
    print(f"{event['resource_id']}: {event['error']}")

get_dead_letter_event

def get_dead_letter_event(event_id: str) -> dict[str, Any]

Get details of a specific dead letter event.

print(event["error"])
print(event["payload"])

retry_dead_letter_event

def retry_dead_letter_event(event_id: str) -> None

Retry a single failed event.

client.retry_dead_letter_event("evt_abc123")

retry_all_dead_letter_events

def retry_all_dead_letter_events() -> int

Retry all dead letter events. Returns the count of events retried.

count = client.retry_all_dead_letter_events()
print(f"Retried {count} events")

delete_dead_letter_event

def delete_dead_letter_event(event_id: str) -> None

Discard a dead letter event without retrying.

client.delete_dead_letter_event("evt_abc123")

delete_dead_letter_events

def delete_dead_letter_events(
    provider: str | None = None,  # Delete for this provider only
    *,
    all: bool = False,            # Delete all events
) -> int

Bulk delete dead letter events. Must specify either provider or all=True.

# Delete all events for a provider
count = client.delete_dead_letter_events(provider="gcp")

# Delete all events
count = client.delete_dead_letter_events(all=True)

Raises: ValueError if neither provider nor all=True is specified.

Provider Deployment

with tarfile.open(fileobj=buffer, mode="w:gz") as tar:
    tar.add("./my-provider", arcname=".")
tarball = buffer.getvalue()

# Push and start build
result = client.push_provider("my-provider", tarball)
print(f"Build version: {result.version}")
print(f"Status: {result.status}")  # BuildStatus.PENDING

    print(f"Provider is healthy: {result.healthy}")
    print(f"Version: {result.version}")
elif result.status == DeploymentStatus.FAILED:
    print("Deployment failed")

Returns: ProviderStatus with status, version, updated_at, and healthy.

AsyncPragmaClient

Asynchronous client with the same API as PragmaClient. All methods are async.

import asyncio
from pragma_sdk import AsyncPragmaClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncPragmaClient() as client:
        # All methods are awaited
        resources = await client.list_resources(provider="gcp")

        bucket = await client.get_resource("gcp", "storage", "my-bucket")

        result = await client.apply_resource({
            "provider": "gcp",
            "resource": "storage",
            "name": "new-bucket",
            "config": {"location": "EU"},
        })

asyncio.run(main())

Async Context Manager

async with AsyncPragmaClient() as client:
    resources = await client.list_resources()
# Connection automatically closed

# Or manually close:
client = AsyncPragmaClient()
try:
    resources = await client.list_resources()
finally:
    await client.close()

Streaming Build Logs (Async)

async with client.stream_build_logs("my-provider", "20250115.120000") as response:
    async for line in response.aiter_lines():
        print(line)

Concurrent Operations

Run multiple independent operations concurrently:

import asyncio

async def fetch_all_resources():
    async with AsyncPragmaClient() as client:
        # Fetch from multiple providers concurrently
        gcp, aws, azure = await asyncio.gather(
            client.list_resources(provider="gcp"),
            client.list_resources(provider="aws"),
            client.list_resources(provider="azure"),
        )
        return gcp + aws + azure

Typed Responses

Use typed models for better IDE support and validation. Define models using the SDK base classes.

Resource Model

from pragma_sdk import Resource, Config, Outputs, LifecycleState

class BucketConfig(Config):
    location: str
    storage_class: str = "STANDARD"

class BucketOutputs(Outputs):
    url: str
    created_at: str

class Bucket(Resource[BucketConfig, BucketOutputs]):
    provider = "gcp"
    resource = "storage"

Using Typed Models

# Get with typed response
bucket = client.get_resource("gcp", "storage", "my-bucket", model=Bucket)
print(bucket.config.location)      # "EU"
print(bucket.outputs.url)          # "gs://my-bucket"
print(bucket.lifecycle_state)      # LifecycleState.READY

# List with typed response
buckets = client.list_resources(provider="gcp", resource="storage", model=Bucket)
for bucket in buckets:
    print(f"{bucket.name}: {bucket.config.location}")

# Apply typed resource
new_bucket = Bucket(
    name="new-bucket",
    config=BucketConfig(location="US"),
)
result = client.apply_resource(new_bucket, model=Bucket)

Lifecycle State Enum

from pragma_sdk import LifecycleState

resource = client.get_resource("gcp", "storage", "my-bucket")

match resource["lifecycle_state"]:
    case LifecycleState.DRAFT:
        print("Not yet submitted")
    case LifecycleState.PENDING:
        print("Queued for processing")
    case LifecycleState.PROCESSING:
        print("Being created/updated/deleted")
    case LifecycleState.READY:
        print("Successfully provisioned")
    case LifecycleState.FAILED:
        print(f"Error: {resource['error']}")

Dependencies

When building providers, you can declare dependencies on other resources using the Dependency[T] generic. This provides typed access to the resolved dependency’s outputs.

from pragma_sdk import Resource, Config, Outputs, Dependency
from my_provider.resources import Database

class AppConfig(Config):
    # dependency: declares a dependency on a Database resource
    database: Dependency[Database]

@mycloud.resource("app")
class App(Resource[AppConfig, AppOutputs]):
    async def on_create(self) -> AppOutputs:
        # Access the resolved dependency
        db = self.config.database
        
        # Access outputs (typed)
        conn_url = db.outputs.connection_url
        
        # Access config
        db_size = db.config.size_gb
        
        return AppOutputs(url=f"Connected to {conn_url}")

Error Handling

The SDK raises httpx.HTTPStatusError for API errors. Handle common cases:

import httpx
from pragma_sdk import PragmaClient

with PragmaClient() as client:
    try:
        resource = client.get_resource("gcp", "storage", "nonexistent")
    except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e:
        if e.response.status_code == 404:
            print("Resource not found")
        elif e.response.status_code == 401:
            print("Authentication failed")
        elif e.response.status_code == 403:
            print("Permission denied")
        else:
            print(f"API error: {e.response.status_code}")
            raise

Authentication Errors

from pragma_sdk import PragmaClient

try:
    # Require authentication
    client = PragmaClient(require_auth=True)
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"No credentials found: {e}")
    print("Run 'pragma auth login' or set PRAGMA_AUTH_TOKEN")

Timeout Handling

import httpx

with PragmaClient(timeout=30.0) as client:
    try:
        result = client.apply_resource(large_resource)
    except httpx.TimeoutException:
        print("Request timed out - try increasing timeout")

Retry Pattern

import time
import httpx

def apply_with_retry(client, resource, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return client.apply_resource(resource)
        except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e:
            if e.response.status_code >= 500 and attempt < max_retries - 1:
                time.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
                continue
            raise

File Uploads

Upload files to Pragmatiks storage programmatically:

# Upload a file
with open("training-data.jsonl", "rb") as f:
    result = client.upload_file(
        name="training-data",
        content=f.read(),
        content_type="application/jsonl",
    )

print(result["url"])          # Storage URL
print(result["public_url"])   # Public download URL
print(result["size"])         # File size in bytes
print(result["checksum"])     # Content checksum

After uploading, create a pragma/file resource to track the file:

client.apply_resource({
    "provider": "pragma",
    "resource": "file",
    "name": "training-data",
    "lifecycle_state": "pending",
    "config": {
        "content_type": "application/jsonl",
    },
})

Dependencies and Field References

FieldReference

Reference a specific output field from another resource:

from pragma_sdk import FieldReference

# In a resource config, a FieldReference points to another resource's output
resource = {
    "provider": "agno",
    "resource": "anthropic-model",
    "name": "claude",
    "lifecycle_state": "pending",
    "config": {
        "model_id": "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
        "api_key": {
            "provider": "pragma",
            "resource": "secret",
            "name": "anthropic-key",
            "field": "outputs.api_key",
        },
    },
}
client.apply_resource(resource)

Dependency[T]

For provider authors, declare whole-resource dependencies with typed access:

from pragma_sdk import Resource, Config, Outputs, Dependency

class ModelConfig(Config):
    model_id: str
    api_key: str

class ModelOutputs(Outputs):
    model_name: str

class Model(Resource[ModelConfig, ModelOutputs]):
    provider = "agno"
    resource = "anthropic-model"

class AgentConfig(Config):
    model: Dependency[Model]
    instructions: str

class AgentOutputs(Outputs):
    agent_id: str

@mycloud.resource("agent")
class Agent(Resource[AgentConfig, AgentOutputs]):
    async def on_create(self) -> AgentOutputs:
        model = await self.config.model.resolve()
        # Access typed config and outputs
        model_name = model.outputs.model_name
        return AgentOutputs(agent_id=f"agent-using-{model_name}")

Owner References

Establish parent-child relationships for cascade deletion:

result = client.apply_resource({
    "provider": "agno",
    "resource": "agent",
    "name": "team-member",
    "lifecycle_state": "pending",
    "config": {"instructions": "You are a team member."},
    "owner_references": [
        {
            "provider": "agno",
            "resource": "team",
            "name": "my-team",
        }
    ],
})

When the owner resource (my-team) is deleted, owned resources (team-member) are automatically cascade-deleted.

Provider Authoring

The SDK also provides utilities for building providers. See Building Providers for complete documentation.
