AI API Client SDK

2.6.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python deprecated

A deprecated SDK for interacting with AI API services. The last version is 2.6.1, requiring Python >=3.9. No longer actively maintained; users should migrate to the successor library (ai-api-client).

pip install ai-api-client-sdk

Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'AIClient' from 'ai_api_client' ↓

cause Using old import path without the _sdk suffix.

fix

Install the correct package or use 'from ai_api_client_sdk import AIClient'.

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ai_api_client_sdk.config' ↓

cause Config module moved to models in version 2.0.

fix

Use 'from ai_api_client_sdk.models import AIClientConfig'.

error TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'api_key' ↓

cause Constructor signature changed in v2.6; api_key is now part of config object.

fix

Pass AIClientConfig object with api_key parameter rather than direct keyword.

Warnings

deprecated This library is deprecated. Migration to ai-api-client is strongly advised. ↓

fix Replace import from ai_api_client_sdk to ai_api_client and update method calls per migration guide.

breaking In v2.0, the package name changed: import path requires _sdk suffix. ↓

fix Use 'from ai_api_client_sdk import ...' instead of 'from ai_api_client import ...'.

breaking AIClientConfig moved from 'config' to 'models' module in v2.0. ↓

fix Change import to 'from ai_api_client_sdk.models import AIClientConfig'.

gotcha Default timeout is 30 seconds; long-running requests may fail silently. ↓

fix Pass a custom timeout parameter in AIClientConfig: timeout=120.

Imports

AIClient
wrong
```
from ai_api_client import AIClient
```
correct
```
from ai_api_client_sdk import AIClient
```
The correct import includes _sdk suffix; old import path was from a different library.

AIClientConfig

wrong

from ai_api_client_sdk.config import AIClientConfig

correct

from ai_api_client_sdk.models import AIClientConfig

Config classes moved to models module in v2.0.

Quickstart

Initialize the client with an API key and make a basic request.

import os
from ai_api_client_sdk import AIClient
from ai_api_client_sdk.models import AIClientConfig

client = AIClient(
    AIClientConfig(
        api_key=os.environ.get('AI_API_KEY', ''),
        base_url='https://api.example.com'
    )
)
response = client.generate(prompt='Hello')
print(response)
