install the client

the client provides a convenient way to interact with the api.

1pip install inferencesh

setup your api key

set INFERENCE_API_KEY as an environment variable. get your key from settings → api keys.

1export INFERENCE_API_KEY="inf_your_key"

run and get result

submit a request and wait for the final result. best for batch processing or when you don't need progress updates.

1from inferencesh import inference23client = inference()456result = client.run({7        "app": "you/search",8        "input": {}9    })1011print(result["output"])

stream live updates

get real-time progress updates as the task runs. ideal for showing progress bars, partial results, or long-running tasks.

1from inferencesh import inference23client = inference()456# stream=True yields updates as they arrive7for update in client.run({8        "app": "you/search",9        "input": {}10    }, stream=True):11    if update.get("progress"):12        print(f"progress: {update['progress']}%")13    if update.get("output"):14        print(f"output: {update['output']}")

automatic upload

the python sdk automatically detects local file paths and uploads them. urls are passed through as-is.

1# local file paths are automatically uploaded2result = client.run({3    "app": "you/search",4    "input": {5        "image": "/path/to/local/image.png",  # detected & uploaded6        "audio": "https://example.com/audio.mp3",  # url passed through7    }8})

manual upload

you can also upload files manually and use the returned url.

1# upload and get a hosted URL2file = client.files.upload("/path/to/file.png")3print(file.uri)  # https://cloud.inference.sh/...
