scale-gp
The official Python library for the SGPClient API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, but with conditions: install only if you are actively using the v4 SGP API and cannot migrate to v5. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. However, the explicit legacy status and recommendation to use sgp-python-beta means this is not the forward path—evaluate whether v5 is available for your use case first.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; API key must be provided via SGP_API_KEY environment variable or constructor argument.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained as of the latest release; however, this is explicitly a legacy v4 API SDK with a newer v5 replacement available.

What it is and what it does
scale-gp is the official Python client for Scale's SGP Client REST API, generated using Stainless. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces to interact with knowledge bases, models, and other API resources. The library includes full type hints for all request parameters and response objects, built on httpx for HTTP transport and pydantic for response validation.
The package supports common REST patterns: paginated list operations with automatic page fetching, streaming responses via Server-Sent Events, nested typed parameters, and comprehensive error handling. It requires Python 3.9+ and has six runtime dependencies. However, the description explicitly warns this is the legacy v4 API SDK; Scale recommends using sgp-python-beta for the latest v5 API.
Use it for
- Build knowledge base management tools that create, list, and configure embedding models via the SGP API
- Implement chat completion endpoints with streaming support for real-time response handling
- Develop async applications that need concurrent API calls without blocking
- Integrate SGP services into typed Python applications with IDE autocomplete and type checking
