> **Wrap. Enhance. Ship.**

Python SDK for the [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw) autonomous AI agent framework.

## Overview

OpenClaw is a framework for running autonomous AI agents that communicate via WhatsApp, Telegram, and other channels.  This SDK provides a Pythonic interface to:

- **Execute agents** — send queries and receive results synchronously or as a stream of events
- **Manage channels** — check status, trigger logins, and logout
- **Schedule cron jobs** — create and delete recurring tasks
- **Manage skills** — install, enable, and disable agent capabilities via CLI
- **Monitor costs** — track token usage and USD cost across runs
- **Build pipelines** — chain multiple agents where each step feeds the next
- **Extract structured data** — parse LLM responses into validated Pydantic models
- **Integrate with FastAPI** — drop-in routers for agent, channel, and admin endpoints

---

## Requirements

- Python 3.11+
- A running OpenClaw instance (WebSocket gateway at `ws://127.0.0.1:18789/gateway`)

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install openclaw-sdk
```

With FastAPI integration:

```bash
pip install "openclaw-sdk[fastapi]"
```

---

## Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
from openclaw_sdk import OpenClawClient

async def main():
    async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
        agent = client.get_agent("research-bot")
        result = await agent.execute("Summarise the latest AI research papers")
        print(result.content)

asyncio.run(main())
```

`OpenClawClient.connect()` auto-detects the gateway:

1. `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_WS_URL` environment variable (WebSocket)
2. `OPENCLAW_OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variable (OpenAI-compatible HTTP)
3. Local socket probe at `127.0.0.1:18789` (auto-connect when OpenClaw is running locally)

---

## Core Concepts

### Gateway

The gateway is the transport layer between the SDK and OpenClaw.  Three implementations are available:

| Gateway | When to use |
|---------|-------------|
| `ProtocolGateway` | WebSocket connection to a remote or local OpenClaw instance |
| `OpenAICompatGateway` | OpenAI-compatible HTTP API (no streaming) |
| `LocalGateway` | Auto-connecting WebSocket for local development |

### Agent

An `Agent` represents a single OpenClaw agent, identified by `agent_id` and an optional `session_name` (default `"main"`).

```python
agent = client.get_agent("research-bot")                  # session: main
agent = client.get_agent("research-bot", session_name="weekly-digest")
print(agent.session_key)  # "agent:research-bot:weekly-digest"
```

### Session Key

The session key scopes conversation history within OpenClaw:

```
agent:{agent_id}:{session_name}
```

### ExecutionResult

`agent.execute()` returns an `ExecutionResult`:

```python
result = await agent.execute("What is the weather in Paris?")
print(result.success)      # True
print(result.content)      # "The current weather in Paris is..."
print(result.latency_ms)   # 1523
```

---

## Usage Examples

### Streaming

```python
async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
    agent = client.get_agent("writer-bot")
    stream = await agent.execute_stream("Write a poem about the sea")
    async for event in stream:
        if event.event_type == "content":
            print(event.data["payload"]["content"], end="", flush=True)
```

### Pipeline

```python
from openclaw_sdk.pipeline.pipeline import Pipeline

async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
    result = await (
        Pipeline(client)
        .add_step("researcher", "research-bot", "Research: {topic}")
        .add_step("writer", "writer-bot", "Write an article based on: {researcher}")
        .run(topic="quantum computing")
    )
    print(result.final_result.content)
```

### Structured Output

```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from openclaw_sdk.output.structured import StructuredOutput

class Summary(BaseModel):
    title: str
    key_points: list[str]
    sentiment: str

async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
    agent = client.get_agent("analyst-bot")
    summary = await StructuredOutput.execute(agent, "Analyse this article: ...", Summary)
    print(summary.title)
    print(summary.key_points)
```

### Callbacks

```python
from openclaw_sdk.callbacks.handler import CallbackHandler
from openclaw_sdk.core.types import ExecutionResult

class LoggingCallback(CallbackHandler):
    async def on_execution_start(self, agent_id: str, query: str) -> None:
        print(f"[{agent_id}] Starting: {query[:50]}")

    async def on_execution_end(self, agent_id: str, result: ExecutionResult) -> None:
        print(f"[{agent_id}] Done in {result.latency_ms}ms")

async with OpenClawClient.connect(callbacks=[LoggingCallback()]) as client:
    await client.get_agent("bot").execute("hello")
```

### Cost Tracking

```python
from openclaw_sdk.tracking.cost import CostTracker

tracker = CostTracker()
async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
    agent = client.get_agent("bot")
    result = await agent.execute("hello")
    tracker.record(result)

print(tracker.summary())
```

### Channel Management

```python
async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
    status = await client.channels.status()
    print(status)

    qr = await client.channels.web_login_start("whatsapp")
    print(qr)  # Display QR code

    logged_in = await client.channels.web_login_wait("whatsapp")
    print(logged_in)
```

### Scheduling

```python
from openclaw_sdk.scheduling.manager import ScheduleConfig

async with OpenClawClient.connect() as client:
    config = ScheduleConfig(
        name="daily-report",
        schedule="0 9 * * *",
        session_target="agent:reporter-bot:main",
        payload="Generate the daily summary report",
    )
    job = await client.scheduling.create_schedule(config)
    print(job.id)
```

### FastAPI Integration

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from openclaw_sdk.integrations.fastapi import (
    create_agent_router,
    create_channel_router,
    create_admin_router,
)

app = FastAPI()
client = ...  # your OpenClawClient instance

app.include_router(create_agent_router(client, prefix="/agents"))
app.include_router(create_channel_router(client, prefix="/channels"))
app.include_router(create_admin_router(client, prefix="/admin"))
```
