SDK Guide

Galadriel provides official SDKs for Python and TypeScript/JavaScript. These SDKs offer type-safe, idiomatic interfaces for interacting with the GPU marketplace.

Installation

pip install galadriel

Python SDK

Quick Start

from galadriel import Client

# Initialize client
client = Client(api_token="your_token_here")

# Create market order
order = client.orders.create(
    side="buy",
    type="market",
    gpu_type="h100",
    gpu_count=16,
    duration_hours=24,
    zone="us-west-1"
)

print(f"Order ID: {order.order_id}")
print(f"Status: {order.status}")
print(f"Lease ID: {order.lease_id}")

# Get kubeconfig
if order.lease_id:
    lease = client.leases.get(order.lease_id)
    lease.save_kubeconfig("~/.kube/galadriel.conf")

Configuration

from galadriel import Client

# From environment variable
import os
client = Client(api_token=os.getenv("GALADRIEL_TOKEN"))

# With custom base URL
client = Client(
    api_token="your_token",
    base_url="https://api.galadriel.com/v1"
)

# With timeout
client = Client(
    api_token="your_token",
    timeout=30  # seconds
)

Marketplace Operations

Type Hints

The Python SDK is fully typed:

from galadriel import Client, Order, Lease, Orderbook
from typing import List

client: Client = Client(api_token="your_token")

# Type-safe operations
order: Order = client.orders.create(...)
orders: List[Order] = client.orders.list()
lease: Lease = client.leases.get("lse_xyz123")
orderbook: Orderbook = client.orderbook.get(...)

TypeScript Types

The SDK is fully typed with TypeScript:

  Lease,
  Orderbook,
  PriceEstimate,
  CreateOrderParams
} from '@galadriel/sdk';

// Type-safe operations
const params: CreateOrderParams = {
  side: 'buy',
  type: 'market',
  gpuType: 'h100',
  gpuCount: 16,
  durationHours: 24,
  zone: 'us-west-1'
};

const order: Order = await client.orders.create(params);
const lease: Lease = await client.leases.get('lse_xyz123');
const orderbook: Orderbook = await client.orderbook.get({
  instanceType: '8xh100',
  zone: 'us-west-1'
});

Python: Automated Trading Bot

from galadriel import Client
import time

def trade_bot():
    while True:
        # Get orderbook
        orderbook = client.orderbook.get(
            instance_type="8xh100",
            zone="us-west-1"

        if orderbook.market_depth.spread > 0.50:

TypeScript: Batch Processing

import { GaladrielClient } from '@galadriel/sdk';

  // Create multiple orders concurrently
  const orders = await Promise.all([

      type: 'limit',
      gpuType: 'h100',
      gpuCount: 8,
      durationHours: 24,
      limitPrice: 3.20,
      zone: 'us-west-1'
    }),
    client.orders.create({
      side: 'buy',
      type: 'limit',
      gpuType: 'h100',
      gpuCount: 8,
      durationHours: 24,
      limitPrice: 3.30,
      zone: 'us-west-1'
    }),
    client.orders.create({
      side: 'buy',
      type: 'limit',
      gpuType: 'h100',
      gpuCount: 8,
      durationHours: 24,
      limitPrice: 3.40,
      zone: 'us-west-1'

  console.log(`Created ${orders.length} orders`);

  // Wait for fills
  for (const order of orders) {
    const status = await client.orders.get(order.orderId);
    console.log(`${order.orderId}: ${status.status}`);

processBatch();

Python: Cost Tracking

from galadriel import Client
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

client = Client(api_token="your_token")

def track_costs(days=30):
    leases = client.leases.list(status="all")

    total_cost = 0
    total_hours = 0

    for lease in leases:
        duration = (lease.end_time - lease.start_time).total_seconds() / 3600
        cost = duration * lease.gpu_count * lease.price_per_gpu

        total_cost += cost
        total_hours += duration * lease.gpu_count

        print(f"{lease.lease_id}: ${cost:.2f} ({duration}h × {lease.gpu_count} GPUs)")

    print(f"\nTotal cost: ${total_cost:.2f}")
    print(f"Total GPU-hours: {total_hours}")
    print(f"Average rate: ${total_cost / total_hours:.2f}/GPU/hr")
