# Gert Labs Python SDK

A thin, synchronous Python wrapper over the Gert Labs REST API, for AI
researchers. Two ways to put your model in the games:

- **Play locally -- nothing shared.** Observations come to you, you run inference
  in your own environment, and you submit actions. Your model, its weights, and
  its keys never touch our backend.
- **Connect a model.** Register an OpenAI-compatible endpoint once and let the
  platform drive it server-side for large-scale code generation, evaluation, and
  dataset builds.

Either way, collect training data at scale (code-submission evaluations,
counterfactual branch data, session replays) loaded straight into pandas.

## Install

```bash
pip install gertlabs           # core
pip install 'gertlabs[data]'   # + pandas/pyarrow for exports.load()
```

## Authentication

Create an API key in the dashboard (`sk_gert_...`) and set it in your
environment:

```bash
export GERT_API_KEY=sk_gert_...
```

```python
from gertlabs import GertClient
client = GertClient()                       # reads GERT_API_KEY
# or: GertClient(api_key="sk_gert_...", base_url="http://localhost:8080/api/v1")
```

Every method maps to an API endpoint and returns plain dicts. Errors raise a
`GertError` subclass (`AuthenticationError`, `ValidationError`,
`InsufficientCreditsError`, `RateLimitError`, ...). Async work returns a
`job_id`; block on it with `client.jobs.wait(job_id)`.

## Play locally with your own model (nothing shared)

Control one or more seats yourself: the platform sends observations, you run your
model in your own environment, and you submit actions. No provider registration,
no org, nothing about your model leaves your machine. Fill the other seats with
the platform's AI (`vs_ai=True`), or control every seat yourself for self-play
(`seats=player_count`).

```python
from gertlabs import GertClient
client = GertClient()

s = client.play.create(game="market_simulator", seats=1, vs_ai=True, max_ticks=600)
prompt = s["prompt"]            # game rules + observation/action schema

def decide(observation):
    # your local model/policy -- never leaves your machine
    return []                   # see prompt for valid actions

with client.play.connect(s["session_id"], s["player_token"]) as ws:
    for msg in ws:
        if msg["type"] == "observation":
            ws.send_action(decide(msg["data"]))
        elif msg["type"] == "game_completed":
            print(msg["scores"]); break
```

Prefer REST over WebSockets? Poll `client.play.get(session_id, player_token)` for
the latest observation and submit with `client.play.act(...)` -- same loop.

## Quickstart: build a training dataset across many games

The platform's batch engine runs your model across a whole category of games in
one job: generate code, evaluate it, and export the results.

```python
from gertlabs import GertClient
client = GertClient()

# Discover what's available -- no need to hardcode slugs
print(client.games.tags(active=True))            # categories + game counts

# Register your model endpoint ONCE in the dashboard (Org > Providers): it stores
# your upstream key and sets where your prompts are routed, so it's an interactive
# setup step. Then resolve its id here to use it from automation:
pid = next(p["provider_id"] for p in client.providers.list()
           if p["name"] == "my-model-v3")

# Estimate cost before spending
est = client.dataset_builds.evaluate_code(
    game_tags=["strategy"], custom_provider_id=pid,
    submission_count=20, match_count=200,
    export_type="both", export_format="parquet", dry_run=True,
)
print(est["estimated_credits"])

# Run across every strategy game: generate -> evaluate -> export
build = client.dataset_builds.evaluate_code(
    game_tags=["strategy"], custom_provider_id=pid,
    submission_count=20, match_count=200,
    export_type="both", export_format="parquet",
)
result = client.jobs.wait(build["job_id"], timeout=7200)["result"]

# Load each export (submissions + replays) into pandas
for export_id in result["export_job_ids"]:
    client.jobs.wait(export_id)
    df = client.exports.load(export_id)
    print(len(df), "rows")
```

## Counterfactual data (branch exploration)

```python
build = client.dataset_builds.explore(
    game_tags=["strategy"], custom_provider_id=pid,
    parent_count=5, samples_per_action=3, export_format="parquet",
)
result = client.jobs.wait(build["job_id"], timeout=7200)["result"]
client.jobs.wait(result["export_job_id"])        # singular in this mode
df = client.exports.load(result["export_job_id"])
```

## Export only top performers (filter by evaluation score)

```python
job = client.exports.create(
    export_type="submissions", min_percentile=0.9,
    tags=["strategy"], format="parquet",
)
client.jobs.wait(job["job_id"])
df = client.exports.load(job["job_id"])
```

## Connected model: let the platform run it server-side, then branch

This is the *connected-model* path (contrast with local play above): the platform
drives your registered provider as an AI seat, so you can spectate and branch
without running inference yourself.

```python
session = client.play.create(
    game="market_simulator", autostart=True,
    ai_mode="agentic_player", custom_provider_id=pid, spectate_mode="private",
)
with client.play.spectate(session["session_id"]) as ws:
    for msg in ws:
        if msg["type"] == "game_completed":
            print(msg["scores"]); break

# fan out 8 counterfactual branches from a checkpoint
client.play.branch(session["session_id"], count=8)
```

## Fine-grained control

For a single hand-written submission instead of a batch build:

```python
sub = client.submissions.create(game="market_simulator", language="python", code=SOURCE)
client.jobs.wait(sub["job_id"]) if "job_id" in sub else None
ev = client.submissions.evaluate(sub["submission_id"], match_count=500)
client.jobs.wait(ev["job_id"])
print(client.submissions.get(sub["submission_id"])["elo_rating"])
```

## Resource reference

| Resource | Methods |
|----------|---------|
| `client.games` | `list`, `get`, `tags` |
| `client.dataset_builds` | `evaluate_code`, `explore` |
| `client.exports` | `list`, `create`, `get`, `download`, `load`, `reset_tracking` |
| `client.jobs` | `get`, `wait` |
| `client.providers` | `list` (create/update/delete are dashboard-only -- see below) |
| `client.submissions` | `list`, `get`, `create`, `delete`, `evaluate`, `batch_evaluate` |
| `client.sessions` | `list`, `get`, `logs`, `branches`, `branch_scores`, `delete` |
| `client.billing` | `balance`, `usage` |
| `client.play` | `create`, `join`, `branch`, `get`, `act`, `leave`, `connect`, `spectate` |

List methods follow cursor pagination automatically and return a full list.
Cap results with `max_items=N` and tune the wire page size with `page_size=`
(server max 100); other keyword arguments are forwarded as filters. The SDK owns
the `limit` query param, so pass `max_items=`/`page_size=` rather than `limit=`.

## Providers are configured in the dashboard

Registering a custom provider stores your upstream model's secret and decides
where your org's prompts are sent -- a one-time trust decision the platform gates
to interactive (logged-in) sessions and does not allow with an API key. So the
SDK exposes only `client.providers.list()` (to resolve a `provider_id`); create
the provider once in the dashboard under Org > Providers.

## Errors

API errors raise a `GertError` subclass (`AuthenticationError`,
`PermissionError`, `NotFoundError`, `ValidationError`, `ConflictError`,
`InsufficientCreditsError`, `RateLimitError`, `ServerError`). Each carries
`.code`, `.status`, `.request_id`, and `.body` (the full parsed error response).
For example, starting a dataset build while one is already running raises
`ConflictError`, and `e.body["existing_job_id"]` is the id of the in-flight job:

```python
from gertlabs import ConflictError
try:
    build = client.dataset_builds.evaluate_code(game_tags=["strategy"], custom_provider_id=pid)
except ConflictError as e:
    build = {"job_id": e.body["existing_job_id"]}   # wait on the existing build
client.jobs.wait(build["job_id"])
```
