Initializing

This section demonstrates how to initialize the WriftAI Python client with practical examples.

Basic Initialization

If your environment variables are set (WRIFTAI_ACCESS_TOKEN and optionally WRIFTAI_API_BASE_URL), you can initialize the client without passing any options.

from wriftai import Client


wriftai = Client()

This automatically uses:

• WRIFTAI_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable if present; otherwise requests are unauthenticated
• WRIFTAI_API_BASE_URL environment variable if present; otherwise the default API base URL is used
• Default configuration for the sync and async httpx clients along with a request timeout of 10 seconds.

Custom Initialization

If you want full control or are not using environment variables, you can provide options manually.

Use a Specific API Base URL

from wriftai import Client


wriftai = Client(api_base_url="https://api.wrift.ai/v1")

Provide an Access Token Directly

from wriftai import Client


wriftai = Client(access_token="your_access_token_here")

Provide custom httpx configuration

import httpx
from wriftai import Client


wriftai = Client(
    client_options={
        "headers": {
            "X-App-Name": "my-app",
        },
        "timeout": httpx.Timeout(10.0),
        "transport": httpx.HTTPTransport(),
    }
)
