hiddenlayer-sdk
The official Python library for the hiddenlayer API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained (released 4 days ago), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and is the official SDK for HiddenLayer's API. Use it if you need to integrate HiddenLayer's security analysis into a Python application. The permissive Apache-2.0 license and broad Python version support make adoption straightforward.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires HIDDENLAYER_TOKEN environment variable or explicit bearer_token; Python 3.9 or later.

What it is and what it does
hiddenlayer-sdk is an official Python client library for the HiddenLayer REST API, generated using Stainless. It wraps HiddenLayer's security and AI analysis endpoints with full type hints, Pydantic models for responses, and TypedDict for request parameters. The library ships both synchronous (HiddenLayer) and asynchronous (AsyncHiddenLayer) clients, both backed by httpx for HTTP transport.
It is designed for developers integrating HiddenLayer's security analysis into Python applications. The package handles authentication via bearer token, supports multiple environments (prod-us, prod-eu), and includes auto-paginating iterators for list endpoints. Error handling distinguishes between connection failures (APIConnectionError), rate limits (RateLimitError), and HTTP status errors (APIStatusError). Type definitions enable IDE autocomplete and early error detection.
Use it for
- Integrate HiddenLayer's model interaction analysis into a Python application to detect security risks in LLM inputs and outputs.
- Build a monitoring service that periodically calls HiddenLayer's API to analyze model behavior and log results.
- Implement async batch analysis of multiple model interactions using AsyncHiddenLayer for concurrent API requests.
- Fetch and iterate through paginated lists of model cards or analysis results without manual page-handling logic.
- Catch and handle API errors (rate limits, auth failures, connection issues) with specific exception types in production workflows.
