Python Quickstart

Get started with the Nebula SDK Python library in just a few minutes.

Installation

pip install nebula-sdk

Basic Setup

First, import and initialize the SDK:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

async def main():
    # Create a pre-configured agent with 0G network
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'My Assistant',
        'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',  # llama-3.3-70b-instruct
        'memory_bucket': 'my-agent-memory',
        'private_key': 'your-private-key'
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    print("Agent initialized successfully!")

# Run the async function
asyncio.run(main())

Your First Chat

Create a simple chat interaction:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

async def basic_chat():
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'Chat Assistant',
        'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',
        'memory_bucket': 'chat-memory',
        'private_key': 'your-private-key'
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    
    # Set system prompt for the agent
    agent.set_system_prompt('You are a helpful AI assistant.')
    
    # Ask a question
    response = await agent.ask('Hello, how can you help me today?')
    print(response)

asyncio.run(basic_chat())

Streaming Chat

For real-time responses, use streaming:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

async def streaming_chat():
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'Streaming Assistant',
        'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',
        'memory_bucket': 'streaming-memory',
        'private_key': 'your-private-key'
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    agent.set_system_prompt('You are a creative storyteller.')
    
    def handle_chunk(chunk: str):
        print(chunk, end='', flush=True)
    
    response = await agent.stream_chat(
        'Tell me a story about AI',
        handle_chunk
    )
    
    print(f'\n\nComplete story length: {len(response)} characters')

asyncio.run(streaming_chat())

Adding Memory

Enhance your chat with persistent memory:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

async def chat_with_memory():
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'Memory Assistant',
        'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',
        'memory_bucket': 'memory-demo',
        'private_key': 'your-private-key'
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    
    # Store user preferences in persistent memory
    await agent.remember('user_preferences', {
        'language': 'Python',
        'experience_level': 'intermediate',
        'interests': ['AI', 'web development', 'data science']
    })
    
    # The agent automatically uses memory context in conversations
    response = await agent.chat_with_context(
        'Remember my preferences and help me with a coding question'
    )
    
    print(response)
    
    # Retrieve stored preferences
    preferences = await agent.recall('user_preferences')
    print(f"\nStored preferences: {preferences}")

asyncio.run(chat_with_memory())

Creating an Agent with Context

Build an agent that maintains conversation context:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

async def contextual_agent():
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'Contextual Assistant',
        'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',
        'memory_bucket': 'contextual-memory',
        'private_key': 'your-private-key'
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    
    # Set up the agent's behavior
    agent.set_system_prompt('''
    You are a helpful programming assistant. When users ask questions:
    1. Remember the context of our conversation
    2. Provide clear, practical examples
    3. Ask follow-up questions when needed
    4. Reference previous topics when relevant
    ''')
    
    # Have a multi-turn conversation
    print("=== Conversation Start ===")
    
    response1 = await agent.chat_with_context('I want to learn Python')
    print(f"Agent: {response1}")
    
    response2 = await agent.chat_with_context('What should I start with?')
    print(f"Agent: {response2}")
    
    response3 = await agent.chat_with_context('Can you show me an example?')
    print(f"Agent: {response3}")
    
    # Save the conversation for future reference
    conversation_id = await agent.save_conversation('python_learning_session')
    print(f"\nConversation saved with ID: {conversation_id}")

asyncio.run(contextual_agent())

Advanced Configuration

Customize your agent with advanced settings:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

async def advanced_agent():
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'Advanced Assistant',
        'provider_address': '0x3feE5a4dd5FDb8a32dDA97Bed899830605dBD9D3',  # deepseek-r1-70b for reasoning
        'memory_bucket': 'advanced-memory',
        'private_key': 'your-private-key',
        'rpc_url': 'https://evmrpc-testnet.0g.ai',
        'indexer_rpc': 'https://indexer-storage-testnet-turbo.0g.ai',
        'kv_rpc': 'http://3.101.147.150:6789',
        'max_ephemeral_messages': 100,  # Keep more conversation history
        'temperature': 0.3,  # More focused responses
        'max_tokens': 2000   # Longer responses
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    
    # Configure for complex reasoning tasks
    agent.set_system_prompt('''
    You are an advanced AI assistant specialized in problem-solving and analysis.
    When approaching problems:
    1. Break them down into smaller components
    2. Consider multiple perspectives
    3. Show your reasoning process
    4. Provide actionable recommendations
    ''')
    
    # Test with a complex question
    response = await agent.ask('''
    I'm building a web application that needs to handle 10,000 concurrent users.
    What architecture considerations should I keep in mind, and what technologies
    would you recommend for the backend, database, and deployment?
    ''')
    
    print(response)
    
    # Get agent statistics
    stats = agent.get_stats()
    print(f"\nAgent Stats:")
    print(f"- Name: {stats['name']}")
    print(f"- Messages in memory: {stats['memory']['ephemeral_messages']}")
    print(f"- Temperature: {stats['chat']['temperature']}")
    print(f"- Max tokens: {stats['chat']['max_tokens']}")

asyncio.run(advanced_agent())

Error Handling

Implement proper error handling for production use:

import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent, SDKError

async def robust_agent():
    try:
        agent = await create_agent({
            'name': 'Robust Assistant',
            'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',
            'memory_bucket': 'robust-memory',
            'private_key': 'your-private-key'
        })
        
        await agent.init()
        
        # Test the agent with error handling
        response = await agent.ask('Explain quantum computing')
        print(f"Success: {response}")
        
    except SDKError as e:
        print(f"SDK Error: {e.message}")
        print(f"Error Code: {e.code}")
        if e.status_code:
            print(f"HTTP Status: {e.status_code}")
    
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

asyncio.run(robust_agent())

Environment Configuration

Set up environment variables for easier configuration:

import os
import asyncio
from nebula_sdk import create_agent

# Set environment variables (or use a .env file)
os.environ['ZG_PRIVATE_KEY'] = 'your-private-key'
os.environ['ZG_RPC_URL'] = 'https://evmrpc-testnet.0g.ai'
os.environ['ZG_INDEXER_RPC'] = 'https://indexer-storage-testnet-turbo.0g.ai'
os.environ['ZG_KV_RPC'] = 'http://3.101.147.150:6789'

async def env_configured_agent():
    # Configuration will use environment variables
    agent = await create_agent({
        'name': 'Environment Agent',
        'provider_address': '0xf07240Efa67755B5311bc75784a061eDB47165Dd',
        'memory_bucket': 'env-memory',
        'private_key': os.environ['ZG_PRIVATE_KEY']  # Explicitly use env var
    })
    
    await agent.init()
    
    response = await agent.ask('Hello from the environment-configured agent!')
    print(response)

asyncio.run(env_configured_agent())
