# Replicate Python API SDK

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
[![PyPI version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/replicate.svg?label=pypi%20(stable))](https://pypi.org/project/replicate/)

This is the repo for Replicate's official v2 Python SDK, which provides access to Replicate's HTTP API from any Python 3.8+
application.

## Docs

- https://sdks.replicate.com/python
- https://replicate.com/docs/reference/http


## Installation

The [`replicate`](https://pypi.org/project/replicate/) package is available on PyPI. Install it with [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/):

```sh
pip install --pre replicate
```

## Usage

Start by getting a [Replicate API token](https://replicate.com/account/api-tokens), then set it as `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN` in your environment:

```sh
export REPLICATE_API_TOKEN="r8_..."
```

Then in your Python code, import the library and use it:

```python
import replicate

claude = replicate.use("anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet")
seedream = replicate.use("bytedance/seedream-4")
veo = replicate.use("google/veo-3-fast")

# Enhance a simple prompt
image_prompt = claude(prompt="bananas wearing cowboy hats", system_prompt="turn prompts into image prompts")

# Generate an image from the enhanced prompt
images = seedream(prompt=image_prompt)

# Generate a video from the image
video = veo(prompt="dancing bananas", image_input=images[0])

open(video)
```

### Initialization and authentication

The library uses the `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN` environment variable by default to implicitly initialize a client, but you can also initialize a client explicitly and set the `bearer_token` parameter:

```python
import os
from replicate import Replicate

client = Replicate(
    bearer_token=os.environ.get("REPLICATE_API_TOKEN")
)
```

## Using `replicate.use()`

The `use()` method provides a more concise way to call Replicate models as functions, offering a more pythonic approach to running models:

```python
import replicate

# Create a model function
flux_dev = replicate.use("black-forest-labs/flux-dev")

# Call it like a regular Python function
outputs = flux_dev(
    prompt="a cat wearing a wizard hat, digital art",
    num_outputs=1,
    aspect_ratio="1:1",
    output_format="webp",
)

# outputs is a list of URLPath objects that auto-download when accessed
for output in outputs:
    print(output)  # e.g., Path(/tmp/a1b2c3/output.webp)
```

### Language models with streaming

Many models, particularly language models, support streaming output. Use the `streaming=True` parameter to get results as they're generated:

```python
import replicate

# Create a streaming language model function
claude = replicate.use("anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet", streaming=True)

# Stream the output
output = claude(prompt="Write a haiku about Python programming")

for chunk in output:
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)
```

### Chaining models

You can easily chain models together by passing the output of one model as input to another:

```python
import replicate

# Create two model functions
flux_dev = replicate.use("black-forest-labs/flux-dev")
claude = replicate.use("anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet")

# Generate an image
images = flux_dev(prompt="a mysterious ancient artifact")

# Describe the image
description = claude(
    prompt="Describe this image in detail",
    image=images[0],  # Pass the first image directly
)

print(description)
```

### Async support

For async/await patterns, use the `use_async=True` parameter:

```python
import asyncio
import replicate


async def main():
    # Create an async model function
    flux_dev = replicate.use("black-forest-labs/flux-dev", use_async=True)

    # Await the result
    outputs = await flux_dev(prompt="futuristic city at sunset")

    for output in outputs:
        print(output)


asyncio.run(main())
```

### Accessing URLs without downloading

If you need the URL without downloading the file, use the `get_path_url()` helper:

```python
import replicate
from replicate.lib._predictions_use import get_path_url

flux_dev = replicate.use("black-forest-labs/flux-dev")
outputs = flux_dev(prompt="a serene landscape")

for output in outputs:
    url = get_path_url(output)
    print(f"URL: {url}")  # https://replicate.delivery/...
```

### Creating predictions without waiting

To create a prediction without waiting for it to complete, use the `create()` method:

```python
import replicate

claude = replicate.use("anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet")

# Start the prediction
run = claude.create(prompt="Explain quantum computing")

# Check logs while it's running
print(run.logs())

# Get the output when ready
result = run.output()
print(result)
```

### Current limitations

- The `use()` method must be called at the module level (not inside functions or classes)
- Type hints are limited compared to the standard client interface

## Run a model

You can run a model synchronously using `replicate.run()`:

```python
import replicate

output = replicate.run(
    "black-forest-labs/flux-schnell", input={"prompt": "astronaut riding a rocket like a horse"}
)
print(output)
```

The `run()` method is a convenience function that creates a prediction, waits for it to complete, and returns the output. If you want more control over the prediction process, you can use the lower-level API methods.

### Handling errors

`replicate.run()` raises `ModelError` if the prediction fails. You can catch this exception to handle errors gracefully:

```python
import replicate
from replicate.exceptions import ModelError

try:
    output = replicate.run(
        "stability-ai/stable-diffusion-3", input={"prompt": "An astronaut riding a rainbow unicorn"}
    )
except ModelError as e:
    print(f"Prediction failed: {e}")
    # The prediction object is available as e.prediction
    print(f"Prediction ID: {e.prediction.id}")
    print(f"Status: {e.prediction.status}")
```

### File inputs

To run a model that takes file inputs, you can pass either a URL to a publicly accessible file or a file handle:

```python
# Using a URL
output = replicate.run(
    "andreasjansson/blip-2:f677695e5e89f8b236e52ecd1d3f01beb44c34606419bcc19345e046d8f786f9",
    input={"image": "https://example.com/image.jpg"},
)

# Using a local file
with open("path/to/image.jpg", "rb") as f:
    output = replicate.run(
        "andreasjansson/blip-2:f677695e5e89f8b236e52ecd1d3f01beb44c34606419bcc19345e046d8f786f9",
        input={"image": f},
    )
```

### Wait parameter

By default, `replicate.run()` will wait up to 60 seconds for the prediction to complete. You can configure this timeout:

```python
# Wait up to 30 seconds
output = replicate.run("...", input={...}, wait=30)

# Don't wait at all - returns immediately
output = replicate.run("...", input={...}, wait=False)
```

When `wait=False`, the method returns immediately after creating the prediction, and you'll need to poll for the result manually.

## Streaming output

For models that support streaming (particularly language models), use `replicate.use()` with `streaming=True` to stream the output response as it's generated:

```python
import replicate

claude = replicate.use("anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet", streaming=True)

for event in claude(input={"prompt": "Please write a haiku about streaming Python."}):
    print(str(event), end="")
```

> **Note:** The [legacy `replicate.stream()` method](https://github.com/replicate/replicate-python/blob/d2956ff9c3e26ef434bc839cc5c87a50c49dfe20/README.md#run-a-model-and-stream-its-output) is also available for backwards compatibility with the v1 SDK, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

## Async usage

To use the Replicate client asynchronously, import `AsyncReplicate` instead of `Replicate` and use `await` with each API call:

```python
import os
import asyncio
from replicate import AsyncReplicate

replicate = AsyncReplicate(
    bearer_token=os.environ.get("REPLICATE_API_TOKEN"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)


async def main() -> None:
    prediction = await replicate.predictions.get(
        prediction_id="gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu",
    )
    print(prediction.id)


asyncio.run(main())
```

Functionality between the synchronous and asynchronous clients is otherwise identical.

### With aiohttp

By default, the async client uses `httpx` for HTTP requests. However, for improved concurrency performance you may also use `aiohttp` as the HTTP backend.

You can enable this by installing `aiohttp`:

```sh
# install from PyPI
pip install --pre replicate[aiohttp]
```

Then you can enable it by instantiating the client with `http_client=DefaultAioHttpClient()`:

```python
import asyncio
from replicate import DefaultAioHttpClient
from replicate import AsyncReplicate


async def main() -> None:
    async with AsyncReplicate(
        bearer_token="My Bearer Token",
        http_client=DefaultAioHttpClient(),
    ) as replicate:
        prediction = await replicate.predictions.get(
            prediction_id="gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu",
        )
        print(prediction.id)


asyncio.run(main())
```

## Using types

Nested request parameters are [TypedDicts](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.TypedDict). Responses are [Pydantic models](https://docs.pydantic.dev) which also provide helper methods for things like:

- Serializing back into JSON, `model.to_json()`
- Converting to a dictionary, `model.to_dict()`

Typed requests and responses provide autocomplete and documentation within your editor. If you would like to see type errors in VS Code to help catch bugs earlier, set `python.analysis.typeCheckingMode` to `basic`.

## Pagination

List methods in the Replicate API are paginated.

This library provides auto-paginating iterators with each list response, so you do not have to request successive pages manually:

```python
from replicate import Replicate

replicate = Replicate()

all_models = []
# Automatically fetches more pages as needed.
for model in replicate.models.list():
    # Do something with model here
    all_models.append(model)
print(all_models)
```

Or, asynchronously:

```python
import asyncio
from replicate import AsyncReplicate

replicate = AsyncReplicate()


async def main() -> None:
    all_models = []
    # Iterate through items across all pages, issuing requests as needed.
    async for model in replicate.models.list():
        all_models.append(model)
    print(all_models)


asyncio.run(main())
```

Alternatively, you can use the `.has_next_page()`, `.next_page_info()`, or `.get_next_page()` methods for more granular control working with pages:

```python
first_page = await replicate.models.list()
if first_page.has_next_page():
    print(f"will fetch next page using these details: {first_page.next_page_info()}")
    next_page = await first_page.get_next_page()
    print(f"number of items we just fetched: {len(next_page.results)}")

# Remove `await` for non-async usage.
```

Or just work directly with the returned data:

```python
first_page = await replicate.models.list()

print(f"next URL: {first_page.next}")  # => "next URL: ..."
for model in first_page.results:
    print(model.cover_image_url)

# Remove `await` for non-async usage.
```

## File uploads

Request parameters that correspond to file uploads can be passed as `bytes`, or a [`PathLike`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.PathLike) instance or a tuple of `(filename, contents, media type)`.

```python
from pathlib import Path
from replicate import Replicate

replicate = Replicate()

replicate.files.create(
    content=Path("/path/to/file"),
)
```

The async client uses the exact same interface. If you pass a [`PathLike`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.PathLike) instance, the file contents will be read asynchronously automatically.

## Handling errors

When the library is unable to connect to the API (for example, due to network connection problems or a timeout), a subclass of `replicate.APIConnectionError` is raised.

When the API returns a non-success status code (that is, 4xx or 5xx
response), a subclass of `replicate.APIStatusError` is raised, containing `status_code` and `response` properties.

All errors inherit from `replicate.APIError`.

```python
import replicate
from replicate import Replicate

replicate = Replicate()

try:
    replicate.predictions.create(
        input={"text": "Alice"},
        version="replicate/hello-world:5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
    )
except replicate.APIConnectionError as e:
    print("The server could not be reached")
    print(e.__cause__)  # an underlying Exception, likely raised within httpx.
except replicate.RateLimitError as e:
    print("A 429 status code was received; we should back off a bit.")
except replicate.APIStatusError as e:
    print("Another non-200-range status code was received")
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.response)
```

Error codes are as follows:

| Status Code | Error Type                 |
| ----------- | -------------------------- |
| 400         | `BadRequestError`          |
| 401         | `AuthenticationError`      |
| 403         | `PermissionDeniedError`    |
| 404         | `NotFoundError`            |
| 422         | `UnprocessableEntityError` |
| 429         | `RateLimitError`           |
| >=500       | `InternalServerError`      |
| N/A         | `APIConnectionError`       |

### Retries

Certain errors are automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff.
Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict,
429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors are all retried by default.

You can use the `max_retries` option to configure or disable retry settings:

```python
from replicate import Replicate

# Configure the default for all requests:
replicate = Replicate(
    # default is 2
    max_retries=0,
)

# Or, configure per-request:
replicate.with_options(max_retries=5).predictions.create(
    input={"text": "Alice"},
    version="replicate/hello-world:5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
)
```

### Timeouts

By default requests time out after 1 minute. You can configure this with a `timeout` option,
which accepts a float or an [`httpx.Timeout`](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/timeouts/#fine-tuning-the-configuration) object:

```python
from replicate import Replicate

# Configure the default for all requests:
replicate = Replicate(
    # 20 seconds (default is 1 minute)
    timeout=20.0,
)

# More granular control:
replicate = Replicate(
    timeout=httpx.Timeout(60.0, read=5.0, write=10.0, connect=2.0),
)

# Override per-request:
replicate.with_options(timeout=5.0).predictions.create(
    input={"text": "Alice"},
    version="replicate/hello-world:5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
)
```

On timeout, an `APITimeoutError` is thrown.

Note that requests that time out are [retried twice by default](https://github.com/replicate/replicate-python-beta/tree/main/#retries).

## Advanced

### Logging

We use the standard library [`logging`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html) module.

You can enable logging by setting the environment variable `REPLICATE_LOG` to `info`.

```shell
$ export REPLICATE_LOG=info
```

Or to `debug` for more verbose logging.

### How to tell whether `None` means `null` or missing

In an API response, a field may be explicitly `null`, or missing entirely; in either case, its value is `None` in this library. You can differentiate the two cases with `.model_fields_set`:

```py
if response.my_field is None:
  if 'my_field' not in response.model_fields_set:
    print('Got json like {}, without a "my_field" key present at all.')
  else:
    print('Got json like {"my_field": null}.')
```

### Accessing raw response data (e.g. headers)

The "raw" Response object can be accessed by prefixing `.with_raw_response.` to any HTTP method call, e.g.,

```py
from replicate import Replicate

replicate = Replicate()
response = replicate.predictions.with_raw_response.create(
    input={
        "text": "Alice"
    },
    version="replicate/hello-world:5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
)
print(response.headers.get('X-My-Header'))

prediction = response.parse()  # get the object that `predictions.create()` would have returned
print(prediction.id)
```

These methods return an [`APIResponse`](https://github.com/replicate/replicate-python-beta/tree/main/src/replicate/_response.py) object.

The async client returns an [`AsyncAPIResponse`](https://github.com/replicate/replicate-python-beta/tree/main/src/replicate/_response.py) with the same structure, the only difference being `await`able methods for reading the response content.

#### `.with_streaming_response`

The above interface eagerly reads the full response body when you make the request, which may not always be what you want.

To stream the response body, use `.with_streaming_response` instead, which requires a context manager and only reads the response body once you call `.read()`, `.text()`, `.json()`, `.iter_bytes()`, `.iter_text()`, `.iter_lines()` or `.parse()`. In the async client, these are async methods.

```python
with replicate.predictions.with_streaming_response.create(
    input={"text": "Alice"},
    version="replicate/hello-world:5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
) as response:
    print(response.headers.get("X-My-Header"))

    for line in response.iter_lines():
        print(line)
```

The context manager is required so that the response will reliably be closed.

### Making custom/undocumented requests

This library is typed for convenient access to the documented API.

If you need to access undocumented endpoints, params, or response properties, the library can still be used.

#### Undocumented endpoints

To make requests to undocumented endpoints, you can make requests using `replicate.get`, `replicate.post`, and other
http verbs. Options on the client will be respected (such as retries) when making this request.

```py
import httpx

response = replicate.post(
    "/foo",
    cast_to=httpx.Response,
    body={"my_param": True},
)

print(response.headers.get("x-foo"))
```

#### Undocumented request params

If you want to explicitly send an extra param, you can do so with the `extra_query`, `extra_body`, and `extra_headers` request
options.

#### Undocumented response properties

To access undocumented response properties, you can access the extra fields like `response.unknown_prop`. You
can also get all the extra fields on the Pydantic model as a dict with
[`response.model_extra`](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/api/base_model/#pydantic.BaseModel.model_extra).

### Configuring the HTTP client

You can directly override the [httpx client](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/#client) to customize it for your use case, including:

- Support for [proxies](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/proxies/)
- Custom [transports](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/transports/)
- Additional [advanced](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/clients/) functionality

```python
import httpx
from replicate import Replicate, DefaultHttpxClient

replicate = Replicate(
    # Or use the `REPLICATE_BASE_URL` env var
    base_url="http://my.test.server.example.com:8083",
    http_client=DefaultHttpxClient(
        proxy="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
        transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
    ),
)
```

You can also customize the client on a per-request basis by using `with_options()`:

```python
replicate.with_options(http_client=DefaultHttpxClient(...))
```

### Managing HTTP resources

By default the library closes underlying HTTP connections whenever the client is [garbage collected](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__del__). You can manually close the client using the `.close()` method if desired, or with a context manager that closes when exiting.

```py
from replicate import Replicate

with Replicate() as replicate:
  # make requests here
  ...

# HTTP client is now closed
```

## Versioning

This package generally follows [SemVer](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) conventions, though certain backwards-incompatible changes may be released as minor versions:

1. Changes that only affect static types, without breaking runtime behavior.
2. Changes to library internals which are technically public but not intended or documented for external use. _(Please open a GitHub issue to let us know if you are relying on such internals.)_
3. Changes that we do not expect to impact the vast majority of users in practice.

We take backwards-compatibility seriously and work hard to ensure you can rely on a smooth upgrade experience.

We are keen for your feedback; please open an [issue](https://www.github.com/replicate/replicate-python-beta/issues) with questions, bugs, or suggestions.

### Determining the installed version

If you've upgraded to the latest version but aren't seeing any new features you were expecting then your python environment is likely still using an older version.

You can determine the version that is being used at runtime with:

```py
import replicate
print(replicate.__version__)
```

## Requirements

Python 3.8 or higher.
