The Codegen SDK provides a programmatic interface to code agents provided by [Codegen](https://codegen.com).
```python
from codegen.agents.agent import Agent
# Initialize the Agent with your organization ID and API token
agent = Agent(
org_id="YOUR_ORG_ID", # Find this at codegen.com/token
token="YOUR_API_TOKEN", # Get this from codegen.com/token
# base_url="https://codegen-sh-rest-api.modal.run", # Optional - defaults to production
)
# Run an agent with a prompt
task = agent.run(prompt="Implement a new feature to sort users by last login.")
# Check the initial status
print(task.status)
# Refresh the task to get updated status (tasks can take time)
task.refresh()
# Check the updated status
print(task.status)
# Once task is complete, you can access the result
if task.status == "completed":
print(task.result) # Result often contains code, summaries, or links
```
## Installation and Usage
Install the SDK using pip, pipx, or uv:
```bash
pip install codegen
# or
pipx install codegen
# or
uv tool install codegen
```
### Keeping Up to Date
The Codegen CLI includes a built-in self-update system:
```bash
# Update to the latest version
codegen update
# Check for available updates
codegen update --check
# Update to a specific version
codegen update --version 1.2.3
```
The CLI automatically checks for updates daily and notifies you when a new version is available.
