The AT Protocol SDK

⚠️ Under construction. Until the 1.0.0 release compatibility between versions is not guaranteed.

from atproto import Client, client_utils


def main():
    client = Client()
    profile = client.login('my-handle', 'my-password')
    print('Welcome,', profile.display_name)

    text = client_utils.TextBuilder().text('Hello World from ').link('Python SDK', 'https://atproto.blue')
    post = client.send_post(text)
    client.like(post.uri, post.cid)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Code snippet of async version

import asyncio

from atproto import AsyncClient, client_utils


async def main():
    client = AsyncClient()
    profile = await client.login('my-handle', 'my-password')
    print('Welcome,', profile.display_name)

    text = client_utils.TextBuilder().text('Hello World from ').link('Python SDK', 'https://atproto.blue')
    post = await client.send_post(text)
    await client.like(post.uri, post.cid)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

Installing

pip install atproto

Python 3.9 or higher.

What you get

This SDK attempts to implement everything that ATProto provides. There is support for Lexicon schemas, XRPC clients, Firehose, Jetstream, Identity, DID keys, signatures, and more. All models, queries, and procedures are generated automatically. The main focus is on the lexicons of atproto.com and bsky.app, but there is no vendor lock on it. Point the code generator at your own lexicon schemas and it produces the same typed models and clients for them. The SDK also provides utilities to work with CID, NSID, AT URI schemes, DAG-CBOR, CAR files, DID documents and more.

Sync and async clients with identical method sets.
Type hints everywhere, so your IDE can navigate the whole protocol.
A high-level client for common tasks, with the complete XRPC surface underneath it.
Real-time streaming over the Firehose or Jetstream, including archive backfill.
Your own lexicons, compiled into an importable package by atp gen custom.

Documentation

The documentation is live at atproto.blue.


🚀 Quickstart	Install, log in, post, read a timeline
📚 Guides	Posting, reading, streaming, identity, errors
💡 Examples	Every runnable example, inlined
🧩 Custom lexicons	Generate models and clients from your own lexicons
🛠 The `atp` CLI	The code generator's command line
💬 Direct messages	Chats, messages, and reactions
🔥 Firehose & Jetstream	Data streaming from the whole network
🌐 Identity	DID and handle resolvers
📖 Model reference	Every lexicon on the network, as a Pydantic model
🍿 Feed generator	Build a custom feed, end to end

This is the SDK's documentation, not the protocol's. For the protocol itself, see atproto.com and bsky.network/docs.

SDK structure

The SDK is built upon the following components:

Package	Description
`atproto`	Import shortcuts to other packages.
`atproto_cli`	CLI tool to generate code.
`atproto_client`	XRPC Client, data models, and utils like rich text helper.
`atproto_codegen`	Code generator of models, clients, and namespaces.
`atproto_core`	Tools to work with NSID, AT URI Schemes, CID, CAR files, and DID Documents.
`atproto_crypto`	Crypto utils like multibase, signature verification, work with DID keys.
`atproto_firehose`	Firehose (data streaming) client and models.
`atproto_identity`	Identity resolvers for DID, Handle, AT Protocol data, signing keys.
`atproto_jetstream`	Jetstream v2 (data streaming) client and models.
`atproto_lexicon`	Lexicon parser.
`atproto_server`	Server-side utils like JWT.
`atproto_subscription`	Websocket subscription runtime behind the streaming clients.

I highly recommend that you use the atproto package to import everything that you need. It contains shortcuts to all other packages.
