Quickstart

Install the SDK, generate your first synthetic dataset, and download an evidence bundle in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

A RadMah AI account (free tier works for this guide)
An API key from Settings → API Keys in the dashboard

ℹAPI key prefix

Live keys use the sl_live_ prefix. Test keys use sl_test_. Both work for this guide.

Install the SDK

Install

pip install radmah-sdk

Authenticate

Create a client instance with your API key. The SDK sends it via the X-API-Key header automatically.

Create client

from radmah_sdk import RadMahClient

client = RadMahClient(api_key="sl_live_your_key_here")

⚠Keep your key secret

Never commit API keys to source control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager in production.

Generate synthetic data

Describe the data you need in plain English. The AI Orchestrator translates your description into a sealed job specification (“sealed contract”), selects the best generation engine, and builds a plan automatically.

Create a job

job = client.jobs.create(
    description="customer orders for an e-commerce platform",
    rows=100_000,
)

print(f"Job {job.id} created — status: {job.status}")

✦No engine selection needed

You never need to pick a generation engine. The platform analyses your description and automatically selects the optimal engine, parameters, and statistical profile.

Approve the plan

Before generation begins, the platform produces a plan showing the schema, row count, and engine selection. Review and approve it programmatically or let it auto-approve.

Approve

# Retrieve the plan
plan = client.jobs.get_plan(job_id=job.id)

print(f"Engine:  {plan.engine}")
print(f"Columns: {[c.name for c in plan.columns]}")
print(f"Rows:    {plan.rows}")

# Approve to start generation
client.jobs.approve(job_id=job.id)

ℹAuto-approval

Pass auto_approve=True in the Python SDK create call, or include "auto_approve": true in the REST JSON body, to skip the approval step.

Wait for completion

Poll until the job finishes. The SDK handles polling automatically.

Wait

# Blocks until succeeded or failed (polls every 2s)
job.wait()

print(f"Final status: {job.status}")  # "succeeded"

Download results and evidence

Every job produces a CSV dataset and a cryptographically-chained signed evidence bundle. Download both.

Download

# Download CSV
job.download("output.csv")

# Or load directly into pandas
df = job.to_dataframe()
print(df.head())

# Download the full signed evidence bundle
client.artifacts.download_bundle(job_id=job.id, path="evidence/")

The signed evidence bundle

#	Artifact	Purpose
1	Sealed Job Specification	Machine-readable record of the approved job
2	Schema Manifest	Column definitions and constraints
3	Quality Report	Statistical fidelity metrics
4	Determinism Proof	Cryptographic hash proving reproducibility
5	Privacy Analysis	Differential privacy audit
6	Bias Report	Demographic parity metrics
7	Lineage Graph	Upstream provenance chain
8	Relation-Closure Certificate	Referential integrity proof
9	Cryptographic Seal	Binding hash over every prior artifact in the bundle

✦Evidence is always produced

Every job produces the full signed evidence bundle unconditionally, regardless of plan tier or dataset size. This cannot be disabled.
