foundry-platform-sdk
The official Python library for the Foundry API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The SDK is actively maintained (released 1 day ago), has low install friction, supports current Python versions (3.10–3.14), carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. Install it if you need programmatic access to Foundry platform APIs; skip it if you only need to query Foundry objects and links or if you're working with Gotham platform.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Requires a Foundry instance hostname and valid authentication token (user token or OAuth2 client credentials).
- Low friction install with a pure-wheel distribution and eight common runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
The Foundry Platform SDK is an auto-generated Python client for Palantir's Foundry API, providing structured access to platform resources like datasets, branches, and ontology metadata. It wraps HTTP calls to versioned Foundry API endpoints (v1, v2, etc.) and handles authentication via user tokens or OAuth2 client credentials. The SDK is built on httpx for HTTP transport and pydantic for request/response validation, and it automatically retries failed requests when OAuth2 tokens expire.
You use it to programmatically interact with Foundry platform infrastructure—creating branches, querying datasets, managing ontological resources—from Python applications. The SDK distinguishes itself from the Ontology SDK by surfacing platform-level operations on resource types themselves. It's designed for applications that need to automate Foundry administration or integrate Foundry data workflows into larger systems.
Use it for
- Automate dataset and branch creation or management workflows in Foundry from Python scripts
- Build integration layers that programmatically query Foundry platform metadata and ontology definitions
- Develop service applications using OAuth2 client credentials to access Foundry resources on behalf of a service user
- Construct data pipelines that need to interact with Foundry datasets and transactions via API
- Create administrative tools that manage Foundry platform resources without manual console interaction
