Note
Python version upgrade policy
Once a Python version reaches its official end of life date, a 3-month grace period is provided for users to upgrade. Following this grace period, the minimum python version supported in the SDK will be updated.
The SDK can be installed with uv, pip, or poetry package managers.
uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver, designed as a drop-in replacement for pip and pip-tools. It's recommended for its speed and modern Python tooling capabilities.
uv add codat-platformPIP is the default package installer for Python, enabling easy installation and management of packages from PyPI via the command line.
pip install codat-platformPoetry is a modern tool that simplifies dependency management and package publishing by using a single pyproject.toml file to handle project metadata and dependencies.
poetry add codat-platformYou can use this SDK in a Python shell with uv and the uvx command that comes with it like so:
uvx --from codat-platform pythonIt's also possible to write a standalone Python script without needing to set up a whole project like so:
#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.10"
# dependencies = [
# "codat-platform",
# ]
# ///
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
sdk = CodatPlatform(
# SDK arguments
)
# Rest of script here...Once that is saved to a file, you can run it with uv run script.py where
script.py can be replaced with the actual file name.
Generally, the SDK will work well with most IDEs out of the box. However, when using PyCharm, you can enjoy much better integration with Pydantic by installing an additional plugin.

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.
To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a RetryConfig object to the call:
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
from codat_platform.models import shared
from codat_platform.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
with CodatPlatform(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
) as cp_client:
res = cp_client.settings.create_api_key(request={
"name": "azure-invoice-finance-processor",
},
RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False))
# Handle response
print(res)If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the retry_config optional parameter when initializing the SDK:
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
from codat_platform.models import shared
from codat_platform.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
with CodatPlatform(
retry_config=RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False),
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
) as cp_client:
res = cp_client.settings.create_api_key(request={
"name": "azure-invoice-finance-processor",
})
# Handle response

Less common errors (5)
Network errors:
httpx.RequestError: Base class for request errors.httpx.ConnectError: HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server.httpx.TimeoutException: HTTP request timed out.
Inherit from CodatPlatformError:
ResponseValidationError: Type mismatch between the response data and the expected Pydantic model. Provides access to the Pydantic validation error via thecauseattribute.
The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
from codat_platform.models import shared
with CodatPlatform(
server_url="https://api.codat.io",
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
) as cp_client:
res = cp_client.settings.create_api_key(request={
"name": "azure-invoice-finance-processor",
})
# Handle response
print(res)The Python SDK makes API calls using the httpx HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with your own HTTP client instance.
Depending on whether you are using the sync or async version of the SDK, you can pass an instance of HttpClient or AsyncHttpClient respectively, which are Protocol's ensuring that the client has the necessary methods to make API calls.
This allows you to wrap the client with your own custom logic, such as adding custom headers, logging, or error handling, or you can just pass an instance of httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient directly.
For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
import httpx
http_client = httpx.Client(headers={"x-custom-header": "someValue"})
s = CodatPlatform(client=http_client)or you could wrap the client with your own custom logic:
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
from codat_platform.httpclient import AsyncHttpClient
import httpx
class CustomClient(AsyncHttpClient):
client: AsyncHttpClient
def __init__(self, client: AsyncHttpClient):
self.client = client
async def send(
self,
request: httpx.Request,
*,
stream: bool = False,
auth: Union[
httpx._types.AuthTypes, httpx._client.UseClientDefault, None
] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
follow_redirects: Union[
bool, httpx._client.UseClientDefault
] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
) -> httpx.Response:
request.headers["Client-Level-Header"] = "added by client"
return await self.client.send(
request, stream=stream, auth=auth, follow_redirects=follow_redirects
)
def build_request(
self,
method: str,
url: httpx._types.URLTypes,
*,
content: Optional[httpx._types.RequestContent] = None,
data: Optional[httpx._types.RequestData] = None,
files: Optional[httpx._types.RequestFiles] = None,
json: Optional[Any] = None,
params: Optional[httpx._types.QueryParamTypes] = None,
headers: Optional[httpx._types.HeaderTypes] = None,
cookies: Optional[httpx._types.CookieTypes] = None,
timeout: Union[
httpx._types.TimeoutTypes, httpx._client.UseClientDefault
] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
extensions: Optional[httpx._types.RequestExtensions] = None,
) -> httpx.Request:
return self.client.build_request(
method,
url,
content=content,
data=data,
files=files,
json=json,
params=params,
headers=headers,
cookies=cookies,
timeout=timeout,
extensions=extensions,
)
s = CodatPlatform(async_client=CustomClient(httpx.AsyncClient()))This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
| Name | Type | Scheme |
|---|---|---|
auth_header |
apiKey | API key |
You can set the security parameters through the security optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
from codat_platform import CodatPlatform
from codat_platform.models import shared
with CodatPlatform(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
) as cp_client:
res = cp_client.settings.create_api_key(request={
"name": "azure-invoice-finance-processor",
})
# Handle response
print(res)The CodatPlatform class implements the context manager protocol and registers a finalizer function to close the underlying sync and async HTTPX clients it uses under the hood. This will close HTTP connections, release memory and free up other resources held by the SDK. In short-lived Python programs and notebooks that make a few SDK method calls, resource management may not be a concern. However, in longer-lived programs, it is beneficial to create a single SDK instance via a context manager and reuse it across the application.
