Getting Started

The strongly package is the official Python SDK for the Strongly.AI platform. It provides typed, synchronous and asynchronous clients covering every REST API domain: apps, workflows, agents, the AI gateway, MLOps, governance, FinOps, and more.

Installation

pip install strongly

Requires Python 3.11 or newer.

Authentication

Every request authenticates with a platform API key (it starts with sk-prod-). The SDK sends it in the X-API-Key header. Your organization and user identity are derived by the platform from the key, so you never set them yourself.

Provide the key in either of two ways:

from strongly import Strongly

# 1. Explicit
client = Strongly(api_key="sk-prod-...")

# 2. From the STRONGLY_API_KEY environment variable (recommended)
client = Strongly()

Set the base URL with the base_url argument or the STRONGLY_API_URL environment variable (defaults to the production gateway).

export STRONGLY_API_KEY="sk-prod-..."
export STRONGLY_API_URL="https://api.strongly.ai"

Your first calls

from strongly import Strongly

client = Strongly()

# Who am I?
me = client.auth.whoami()
print(me.email, me.organization.id)

# List apps (auto-paginates as you iterate)
for app in client.apps.list(status="running"):
    print(app.name, app.status)

# Create and read back a memory
memory = client.memory.create(kind="fact", content="Customer prefers email")
print(memory.id, memory.content)

Responses are typed pydantic models, so attributes autocomplete and validate.

Synchronous and asynchronous clients

Every resource and method exists on both Strongly and AsyncStrongly with identical signatures. The async client awaits each call:

import asyncio
from strongly import AsyncStrongly

async def main():
    async with AsyncStrongly() as client:
        async for app in client.apps.list():
            print(app.name)
        await client.memory.create(kind="fact", content="...")

asyncio.run(main())

The sync client is also a context manager (with Strongly() as client: ...), which closes the underlying HTTP connection on exit.

Pagination

list() methods return an auto-paginating iterator. Iterate it directly and the SDK fetches pages as needed, transparently walking the entire result set:

for workflow in client.workflows.list(search="invoice"):
    print(workflow.id, workflow.name)

Filters are keyword-only. limit caps the total number of items returned (omit it to iterate everything); pages are fetched internally:

# At most 100 apps, regardless of how many match:
first_100 = list(client.apps.list(status="running", limit=100))

# Just the first match:
first = client.apps.list(status="running").first()

Request bodies

Create and update methods take explicit keyword arguments, one per field. Pass the values you want to set; optional fields default to omitted:

from strongly import Strongly

client = Strongly()
client.apps.create(name="my-api", project_id="proj-1")

The SDK serializes Python snake_case argument names to the platform's camelCase wire format automatically.

Responses

Responses come back as idiomatic Python snake_case, never the platform's camelCase wire format. Typed models expose snake_case attributes, and the methods that return a plain dict (status, metrics, action results) return snake_case keys:

status = client.apps.status("app-1")
print(status.ready_replicas)          # typed model, snake_case attribute

result = client.apps.start("app-1")
print(result["pod_ip"], result["success"])   # dict, snake_case keys

Free-form blobs you control, a workflow definition, a node's config, an object's metadata, are returned exactly as stored (keys untouched) so they round-trip back into a later request unchanged.

Error handling

Failed requests raise typed exceptions. See Error Handling for the full hierarchy.

from strongly import Strongly, NotFoundError, RateLimitError

client = Strongly()
try:
    app = client.apps.retrieve("does-not-exist")
except NotFoundError:
    print("No such app")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print("Slow down:", e)
