The vital PyPI package (Vital API Python SDK) provides typed bindings of the Vital API in Python that tracks our OpenAPI Schema.

Horizon AI Python SDK is a standalone product offering, separately from the vital PyPI package.

Horizon AI Python SDK bridges Vital’s data aggregation and intelligence capabilities with the rich Python ecosystem for scientific computing and data analysis.

Start the device authentication process

Create the ~/.vitalx directory, and grant it execute permission. The SDK requires execute permission to maintain a file lock.

mkdir -p ~/.vitalx && chmod +x ~/.vitalx

Call the auth login CLI subcommand on the vitalx-cli package to start the authentication process.

poetry run vitalx-cli auth login

Sign in with your Vital Dashboard account

You would be prompted in your default web browser to sign-in to the Vital Dashboard. You will then be asked to confirm the device authorization.

Voila!

You have now signed-in. You can now use any Horizon AI SDK entity without a Vital API Key.

Your permanent session is stored at ~/.vitalx/.
