Python SDK

warning

The Silhouette API and SDK are in beta and under active development. More operations and features will be added.

The official Python SDK provides programmatic access to the Silhouette API. All requests route through shielded execution, so strategy, size, and intent are not attributable to the user's wallet on the public orderbook.

Installation​

pip install silhouette-python-sdk

The package is available on PyPI.

Quick Start​

import os
from silhouette import SilhouetteApiClient

# Initialize the client with your private key
# Never hardcode your private key - use environment variables
client = SilhouetteApiClient(
    base_url="https://api.silhouette.exchange",
    private_key=os.environ["SILHOUETTE_PRIVATE_KEY"],
    auto_auth=True,
)

# Check your balances
balances = client.user.get_balances()
print(balances)

# Place an order
order = client.order.create_order(
    side="buy",
    order_type="limit",
    base_token="HYPE",
    quote_token="USDC",
    amount="1.0",
    price="0.001",
)
print(f"Order placed: {order['orderId']}")
