AI API SDKs - verified

Official AI API SDKs by language

16 of 19 AI API providers ship at least one SDK of their own. Across 10 languages the data holds 113 entries: 51 official SDKs, 5 the provider labels beta, 13 where the docs point to the OpenAI SDK instead, 12 community libraries the provider links but does not ship, and 32 where the provider's docs list no SDK. Python is the best covered (16 providers ship their own), then TypeScript (12).

Package names and install lines are copied as the docs print them. A community library is never counted as official. When a provider points you to the OpenAI SDK, its base URL is in the API compatibility reference.

Verified against each provider's own SDK docs and package registry pages. Status labels are the provider's own; no version numbers are recorded.

Warning

Do not install these npm packages

  • dashscope on npm is not Alibaba Cloud Model Studio's SDK: it is published by an individual, not by Alibaba Cloud. For TypeScript, Alibaba's docs point to the OpenAI SDK. On PyPI, dashscope is the provider's own Python package.
  • fireworks-ai on npm is not Fireworks AI's SDK: it is an npm security-holder placeholder, not an SDK. For TypeScript, Fireworks points to the OpenAI SDK. On PyPI, fireworks-ai is the provider's own Python package.

Read before you install

Entries that carry a badge but are not quite what the badge suggests, from the providers' own docs.

  • OpenAI Go and Java

    OpenAI labels these SDKs beta.

  • Anthropic Swift

    Not a full Messages API client. This is a Foundation Models integration: it plugs Claude into Apple's Foundation Models API, and Anthropic files it under libraries and integrations, not client SDKs.

  • Anthropic PHP

    Anthropic labels this SDK beta.

  • Google Swift

    Firebase AI Logic, not the Gen AI SDK. Google points Swift developers to Firebase AI Logic, which needs a Firebase project.

  • Google Kotlin

    Firebase AI Logic, not the Gen AI SDK. Google points Android developers to Firebase AI Logic, which needs a Firebase project.

  • Fireworks AI Python

    Fireworks AI labels this SDK alpha; it is recorded here as beta. Fireworks also says its API works with the OpenAI SDK.

Use the OpenAI SDK

For these providers and languages the docs point to the OpenAI SDK rather than a library of their own. You keep the OpenAI client and change the base URL and API key; each provider's compatibility page has the exact base URL.

FAQ

Which AI API providers have official SDKs in the most languages?

Amazon Bedrock: 10 languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, Rust, Swift and Kotlin); Anthropic: 8 languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP and Swift); Google: 7 languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C#, Swift and Kotlin); OpenAI: 6 languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C# and Ruby). Counts include SDKs the provider labels beta.

Which AI providers tell you to use the OpenAI SDK instead of their own?

xAI (TypeScript), DeepSeek (Python and TypeScript), Fireworks AI (TypeScript), Azure OpenAI / Microsoft Foundry (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java and C#), Moonshot AI (Python and TypeScript), Alibaba Cloud Model Studio (TypeScript and Go). For those languages the provider's docs point to the OpenAI SDK rather than a library of their own. For DeepSeek, Azure OpenAI / Microsoft Foundry and Moonshot AI, the OpenAI SDK is the documented route in every language recorded here.

Is there an official Rust SDK for AI APIs?

Rarely. Official: Amazon Bedrock (aws-sdk-bedrockruntime). Community libraries linked from the docs, not official: async-openai (OpenAI), mistralai-client-rs (Mistral AI). No Rust SDK in the docs: Anthropic, Google, Cohere, Groq, OpenRouter and Alibaba Cloud Model Studio.

Are the dashscope and fireworks-ai npm packages official?

No. The npm package dashscope is not the provider's SDK: it is published by an individual, not by Alibaba Cloud. For TypeScript, Alibaba's docs point to the OpenAI SDK. The npm package fireworks-ai is not the provider's SDK: it is an npm security-holder placeholder, not an SDK. For TypeScript, Fireworks points to the OpenAI SDK. On PyPI the same names are the official Python packages (pip install -U dashscope; pip install --pre fireworks-ai).
