# Quick Start - AgentOps SDK

> Getting started with the ScaleGP AgentOps SDK

You can interact with the API through HTTP requests from any language or via our official Python bindings (alpha)

## Authentication

Make sure to follow the previous steps described in [Authentication](../authentication) to obtain an API key and account ID.

## Installing the SGP SDK Client

To install the ScaleGP Python client, run the following command:

```python theme={null}
pip install scale-gp-beta
```

## Configuring the Client

The SGP client can be configured with your API key and account ID. Examples on how to use the SGP client can be found in [Recipes](/recipes). The simplest approach is to set environment variables:

```bash theme={null}
export SGP_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export SGP_ACCOUNT_ID="your-account-id-here"
```

Then instantiate the client:

```python theme={null}
from scale_gp_beta import SGPClient

client = SGPClient()
```

The SDK will automatically use the `SGP_API_KEY` and `SGP_ACCOUNT_ID` environment variables. You can also pass them explicitly:

```python theme={null}
from scale_gp_beta import SGPClient

client = SGPClient(
    account_id="your-account-id",
    api_key="your-api-key",
)
```

The `SGPClient` constructor accepts the following parameters:

| Parameter     | Description                                                                                                          | Default                               |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `account_id`  | Your SGP account ID. Found in the [Accounts](https://app.sgp.scale.com/admin/accounts) tab of the admin dashboard.   | `SGP_ACCOUNT_ID` environment variable |
| `api_key`     | Your SGP API key. Found in the [API Keys](https://app.sgp.scale.com/admin/api-key) tab of the admin dashboard.       | `SGP_API_KEY` environment variable    |
| `environment` | The SGP environment to connect to. **Possible values:** `production-multitenant`, `staging`, `development`, `local`. | `production-multitenant`              |
| `base_url`    | Override the base URL with a custom endpoint. Takes precedence over `environment`.                                   | None                                  |

### Connecting to Non-Production Environments

Use the `environment` parameter to connect to development or staging environments:

```python theme={null}
client = SGPClient(
    account_id="your-account-id",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    environment="development"
)
```

You can also override the URL directly via the `SGP_CLIENT_BASE_URL` environment variable or the `base_url` parameter (which takes precedence over `environment`).

<Warning>
  The Scale GP Python client is under active development, and many of the features in this document rely on the latest versions. To make sure you have the latest version, run `pip install scale-gp-beta --upgrade`.
