It wraps gRPC and REST endpoints with both synchronous and asynchronous client interfaces, letting you build chat applications, generate images and videos, perform image understanding, and call functions on xAI models like Grok. The SDK handles authentication via environment variables, manages conversation history through a simple append-and-sample pattern, and supports streaming for real-time output.\n\nThe package is built on mature dependencies (aiohttp, grpcio, pydantic, protobuf, opentelemetry-sdk) and targets Python 3.10+. It's actively maintained, with comprehensive documentation and example code for common tasks. Whether you're building a chatbot, processing images, generating video, or integrating structured tool calling, the SDK abstracts away the underlying API details and provides a Pythonic interface.","worth_installing":"Yes. The SDK is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively. It's the official client for xAI's APIs and provides both sync and async support, making it the natural choice if you're building applications against xAI's models. Requires Python 3.10+ and a valid API key."},"id":"xai-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xai-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xai-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/xai-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"xai-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The official Python SDK for the xAI API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4781132,"position":2232,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.18.0"}
