metagraphed (Python)

Thin, dependency-free Python client for metagraphed — the operational + integration registry for Bittensor subnets at https://api.metagraph.sh.

It mirrors the npm client: one generic GET helper over the uniform, read-only API surface, returning the parsed { ok, schema_version, data, meta } envelope. Stdlib only — no transitive dependencies.

Install

pip install metagraphed              # dependency-free sync client
pip install 'metagraphed[async]'     # adds the async client (pulls httpx)

Usage

from metagraphed import MetagraphedClient, metagraphed_fetch

client = MetagraphedClient()  # base_url defaults to https://api.metagraph.sh

# List subnets (query params; None values are dropped). The /subnets collection
# nests its rows under data.subnets:
subnets = client.fetch(
    "/api/v1/subnets",
    query={"limit": 10, "sort": "completeness_score", "order": "desc"},
)
print(subnets["data"]["subnets"][0]["name"])

# One subnet by netuid (path params)
detail = client.fetch("/api/v1/subnets/{netuid}", path_params={"netuid": 7})

# Which subnets are buildable? (integration readiness lives in the agent catalog)
catalog = client.fetch("/api/v1/agent-catalog")

# Health of the registry itself:
health = metagraphed_fetch("/api/v1/health")

Every response is the standard envelope:

{"ok": True, "schema_version": 1, "data": ..., "meta": {...}}

On a network failure or non-2xx response, a MetagraphedError is raised (with .status for HTTP errors, and the API error code/message in the message).

Retries, pagination, and the RPC proxy

from metagraphed import (
    MetagraphedClient,
    metagraphed_paginate,
    metagraphed_rpc,
)

# Opt-in retry/backoff for idempotent reads — GETs *and* the read-only RPC proxy
# (retries 429/5xx + network errors, honoring a numeric Retry-After). Off by
# default.
client = MetagraphedClient(retries=3)

# Iterate every page of a list endpoint (follows meta.pagination.next_cursor):
for page in client.paginate("/api/v1/subnets", query={"limit": 100}):
    for subnet in page["data"]["subnets"]:
        print(subnet["netuid"])

# Call the read-only Subtensor RPC proxy and get back the JSON-RPC result. Via
# the client, RPC reads honor the same retries/backoff as GETs:
info = client.rpc("finney", "system_health")

# Or as a standalone call with explicit retries:
info = metagraphed_rpc("finney", "system_health", retries=3)

fetch_all + typed models

from metagraphed import MetagraphedClient

client = MetagraphedClient(retries=3)

# Auto-paginate a list endpoint and collect every item (flattened data arrays):
all_surfaces = client.fetch_all("/api/v1/surfaces")

# Typed convenience methods — IDE autocomplete, while .raw keeps the full dict:
for subnet in client.subnets():
    print(subnet.netuid, subnet.name, subnet.integration_readiness)

catalog = client.agent_catalog(7)  # -> AgentCatalogSubnet
print(catalog.service_count, catalog.services)

fetch / fetch_all still return raw dicts; the models (Subnet, Surface, Endpoint, Provider, AgentCatalogSubnet) are opt-in and never lose data.

Async client (httpx)

Install the extra (pip install 'metagraphed[async]'), then fetch many subnets concurrently — no hand-rolled threads:

import asyncio
from metagraphed import AsyncMetagraphedClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncMetagraphedClient(retries=3) as client:
        subnets = await client.subnets()  # typed, auto-paginated
        catalogs = await asyncio.gather(
            *(client.agent_catalog(s.netuid) for s in subnets[:10])
        )
        for c in catalogs:
            print(c.netuid, c.service_count)

asyncio.run(main())

The async client mirrors the sync one (fetch / paginate / fetch_all / rpc + retries/backoff) and reuses a single connection pool.
