Workflow:
- Developer pushes API changes to
mixpeek/server - GitHub Actions triggers
python-sdkworkflow - SDK is automatically regenerated with clean method names
- Published to PyPI if version changed
- GitHub release created automatically
- ✅ Type-safe: Full type hints for IDE autocomplete
- ✅ Intuitive: Follow standard CRUD patterns
- ✅ Documented: Comprehensive README and examples
- ✅ Tested: Generated tests included
- ✅ Maintained: Auto-updates with API changes
# Install
pip install mixpeek
# Use
import mixpeek
from mixpeek.api import collections_api
configuration = mixpeek.Configuration(
host="https://api.mixpeek.com",
api_key={'ApiKeyAuth': 'YOUR_API_KEY'}
)
with mixpeek.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
collections = collections_api.CollectionsApi(api_client)
result = collections.list_collections()cd /Users/ethan/Dev/mixpeek/clients/python-sdk
./generate.shSee SETUP.md for complete instructions:
-
PyPI Setup
- Create PyPI account
- Generate API token
- Add to GitHub secrets as
PYPI_API_TOKEN
-
GitHub Setup
- Create fine-grained PAT with workflow permissions
- Add to server repo as
SDK_TRIGGER_TOKEN - Add trigger workflow to server repo
-
Test
- Manual: Run workflow from GitHub Actions UI
- Automatic: Push change to server repo
- 18 API classes - Complete coverage of all Mixpeek endpoints
- 260+ methods - All with clean, simplified names
- Auto-generated - Always up-to-date with API changes
- Type-safe - Full type hints and IDE support
- Documented - Docstrings for all methods
Automatic: SDK regenerates when server API changes
Manual:
./generate.sh
python -m build
pip install -e .Version is automatically extracted from OpenAPI spec's info.version field. To publish a new version:
- Update version in server's OpenAPI spec
- Push to server repo
- SDK automatically rebuilds and publishes
# Install in development mode
pip install -e .
# Run tests
python -m pytest test/

Why: Generated names were verbose and confusing
Solution: Automatic cleaning during generation
Result: Clean, intuitive names like create_collection instead of create_collection_v1_collections_post
Why: OpenAPI 3.1 spec had null types in anyOf causing generation errors Solution: Pre-process spec to remove null types and add nullable flag Result: Successful generation with proper type handling
Why: Manual SDK updates are error-prone and slow Solution: GitHub Actions with repository dispatch trigger Result: SDK auto-updates within minutes of API changes
Why: Need to track SDK versions with API versions Solution: Extract version from OpenAPI spec automatically Result: Version always matches API version
