## Summary - use generated image data URLs in the Python SDK examples and notebook - document HTTP and HTTPS image URLs as deprecated and recommend `LocalImageInput` - replace the remote-URL integration test with data-URL coverage `ImageInput` remains available for data URLs. The SDK does not duplicate app-server URL validation. ## Testing - `uv run --frozen --no-sync ruff check --output-format=full .` - `uv run --frozen --no-sync ruff format --check .` - full Python SDK test suite with an isolated writable `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME` (119 passed, 38 skipped)

# OpenAI Codex Python SDK (Beta) - API Reference
|
|
|
|
Public surface of `openai_codex` for Codex workflows.
|
|
|
|
This SDK is in beta. Public APIs may change before `1.0`. Turn streams are routed by turn ID so one client can consume multiple active turns concurrently.
|
|
Thread starts default to `ApprovalMode.auto_review`; turn starts accept an optional `approval_mode` override.
|
|
|
|

|
|
from openai_codex.types import (
|
|
Account,
|
|
AccountLoginCompletedNotification,
|
|
CancelLoginAccountResponse,
|
|
CancelLoginAccountStatus,
|

)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Version: `openai_codex.__version__`
|
|
- Requires Python >= 3.10
|
|
- Public Codex protocol value and event types live in `openai_codex.types`
|
|
|
|
## Codex (sync)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
Codex(config: CodexConfig | None = None)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Properties/methods:
|
|
|
|
- `metadata -> InitializeResponse`
|
|
- `close() -> None`
|
|
- `login_api_key(api_key: str) -> None`
|
|
- `login_chatgpt() -> ChatgptLoginHandle`
|
|
- `login_chatgpt_device_code() -> DeviceCodeLoginHandle`
|
|
- `account(*, refresh_token: bool = False) -> GetAccountResponse`
|
|
- `logout() -> None`
|
|
- `thread_start(*, approval_mode=ApprovalMode.auto_review, base_instructions=None, config=None, cwd=None, developer_instructions=None, ephemeral=None, model=None, model_provider=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None) -> Thread`
|
|
- `thread_list(*, archived=None, cursor=None, cwd=None, limit=None, model_providers=None, sort_key=None, source_kinds=None) -> ThreadListResponse`
|
|
- `thread_resume(thread_id: str, *, approval_mode=ApprovalMode.auto_review, base_instructions=None, config=None, cwd=None, developer_instructions=None, model=None, model_provider=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None) -> Thread`
|
|
- `thread_fork(thread_id: str, *, approval_mode=ApprovalMode.auto_review, base_instructions=None, config=None, cwd=None, developer_instructions=None, model=None, model_provider=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None) -> Thread`
|
|
- `thread_archive(thread_id: str) -> ThreadArchiveResponse`
|
|
- `thread_unarchive(thread_id: str) -> Thread`
|
|
- `models(*, include_hidden: bool = False) -> ModelListResponse`
|
|
|
|
Context manager:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
with Codex() as codex:
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## AsyncCodex (async parity)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
AsyncCodex(config: CodexConfig | None = None)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Preferred usage:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async with AsyncCodex() as codex:
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`AsyncCodex` initializes lazily. Context entry is the standard path because it
|
|
ensures startup and shutdown are paired explicitly.
|
|
|
|
Properties/methods:
|
|
|
|
- `metadata -> InitializeResponse`
|
|
- `close() -> Awaitable[None]`
|
|
- `login_api_key(api_key: str) -> Awaitable[None]`
|
|
- `login_chatgpt() -> Awaitable[AsyncChatgptLoginHandle]`
|
|
- `login_chatgpt_device_code() -> Awaitable[AsyncDeviceCodeLoginHandle]`
|
|
- `account(*, refresh_token: bool = False) -> Awaitable[GetAccountResponse]`
|
|
- `logout() -> Awaitable[None]`
|
|
- `thread_start(*, approval_mode=ApprovalMode.auto_review, base_instructions=None, config=None, cwd=None, developer_instructions=None, ephemeral=None, model=None, model_provider=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None) -> Awaitable[AsyncThread]`
|
|
- `thread_list(*, archived=None, cursor=None, cwd=None, limit=None, model_providers=None, sort_key=None, source_kinds=None) -> Awaitable[ThreadListResponse]`
|
|
- `thread_resume(thread_id: str, *, approval_mode=ApprovalMode.auto_review, base_instructions=None, config=None, cwd=None, developer_instructions=None, model=None, model_provider=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None) -> Awaitable[AsyncThread]`
|
|
- `thread_fork(thread_id: str, *, approval_mode=ApprovalMode.auto_review, base_instructions=None, config=None, cwd=None, developer_instructions=None, ephemeral=None, model=None, model_provider=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None) -> Awaitable[AsyncThread]`
|
|
- `thread_archive(thread_id: str) -> Awaitable[ThreadArchiveResponse]`
|
|
- `thread_unarchive(thread_id: str) -> Awaitable[AsyncThread]`
|
|
- `models(*, include_hidden: bool = False) -> Awaitable[ModelListResponse]`
|
|
|
|
Async context manager:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async with AsyncCodex() as codex:
|
|
...
|
|
```

|
## Login handles
|
|
|
|
### ChatgptLoginHandle / AsyncChatgptLoginHandle
|
|
|
|
- `login_id: str`
|
|
- `auth_url: str`
|
|
- `wait() -> AccountLoginCompletedNotification`
|
|
- `cancel() -> CancelLoginAccountResponse`
|
|
|
|
Async handle methods return awaitables.
|
|
|
|
### DeviceCodeLoginHandle / AsyncDeviceCodeLoginHandle
|
|
|
|
- `login_id: str`
|
|
- `verification_url: str`
|
|
- `user_code: str`
|
|
- `wait() -> AccountLoginCompletedNotification`
|
|
- `cancel() -> CancelLoginAccountResponse`
|
|
|
|
Async handle methods return awaitables.
|
|
|
|
`wait()` consumes only the completion notification for its matching login
|
|
attempt. API-key login completes synchronously and does not return a handle.
|
|
|
|
## Thread / AsyncThread
|
|
|
|
`Thread` and `AsyncThread` share the same shape and intent.
|
|
|
|
### Thread
|
|
|
|
- `run(input: str | Input, *, approval_mode=None, cwd=None, effort=None, model=None, output_schema=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None, service_tier=None, summary=None) -> TurnResult`
|
|
- `turn(input: str | Input, *, approval_mode=None, cwd=None, effort=None, model=None, output_schema=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None, service_tier=None, summary=None) -> TurnHandle`
|
|
- `read(*, include_turns: bool = False) -> ThreadReadResponse`
|
|
- `set_name(name: str) -> ThreadSetNameResponse`
|
|
- `compact() -> ThreadCompactStartResponse`
|
|
|
|
### AsyncThread
|
|
|
|
- `run(input: str | Input, *, approval_mode=None, cwd=None, effort=None, model=None, output_schema=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None, service_tier=None, summary=None) -> Awaitable[TurnResult]`
|
|
- `turn(input: str | Input, *, approval_mode=None, cwd=None, effort=None, model=None, output_schema=None, personality=None, sandbox: Sandbox | None = None, service_tier=None, summary=None) -> Awaitable[AsyncTurnHandle]`
|
|
- `read(*, include_turns: bool = False) -> Awaitable[ThreadReadResponse]`
|
|
- `set_name(name: str) -> Awaitable[ThreadSetNameResponse]`
|
|
- `compact() -> Awaitable[ThreadCompactStartResponse]`
|
|
|
|
`run(...)` is the common-case convenience path. It accepts plain strings, starts
|
|
the turn, consumes notifications until completion, and returns a small result
|
|
object with:
|
|
|
|
- `id: str`
|
|
- `status: TurnStatus`
|
|
- `error: TurnError | None`
|
|
- `started_at: int | None`
|
|
- `completed_at: int | None`
|
|
- `duration_ms: int | None`
|
|
- `final_response: str | None`
|
|
- `items: list[ThreadItem]`
|
|
- `usage: ThreadTokenUsage | None`
|
|
|
|
`final_response` is `None` when the turn finishes without a final-answer or
|
|
phase-less assistant message item.
|
|
|
|
Use `turn(...)` when you need low-level turn control (`stream()`, `steer()`,
|
|
`interrupt()`) before collecting the turn result.
|
|
|
|
## Sandbox
|
|
|
|
Use `sandbox=` consistently on thread lifecycle methods and turns:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from openai_codex import Codex, Sandbox
|
|
|
|
with Codex() as codex:
|
|
thread = codex.thread_start(sandbox=Sandbox.workspace_write)
|
|
result = thread.run("Review the diff only.", sandbox=Sandbox.read_only)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Presets:
|
|
|
|
- `Sandbox.read_only`: read files without allowing writes.
|
|
- `Sandbox.workspace_write`: the normal default for projects with a recorded trust decision; read files and write inside the workspace and configured writable roots.
|
|
- `Sandbox.full_access`: run without filesystem access restrictions.
|
|
|
|
When `sandbox=` is omitted, Codex uses its configured default. A sandbox
|
|
passed to `run(...)` or `turn(...)` applies to that turn and subsequent turns.
|
|
|
|
## TurnHandle / AsyncTurnHandle
|
|
|
|
### TurnHandle
|
|
|
|
- `steer(input: str | Input) -> TurnSteerResponse`
|
|
- `interrupt() -> TurnInterruptResponse`
|
|
- `stream() -> Iterator[Notification]`
|
|
- `run() -> TurnResult`
|
|
|
|
Behavior notes:
|
|
|
|
- `stream()` and `run()` consume only notifications for their own turn ID
|
|
- one `Codex` instance can stream multiple active turns concurrently
|
|
|
|
### AsyncTurnHandle
|
|
|
|
- `steer(input: str | Input) -> Awaitable[TurnSteerResponse]`
|
|
- `interrupt() -> Awaitable[TurnInterruptResponse]`
|
|
- `stream() -> AsyncIterator[Notification]`
|
|
- `run() -> Awaitable[TurnResult]`
|
|
|
|
Behavior notes:
|
|
|
|
- `stream()` and `run()` consume only notifications for their own turn ID
|
|
- one `AsyncCodex` instance can stream multiple active turns concurrently
|
|
|
|
## Inputs
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
@dataclass class TextInput: text: str
|
|
@dataclass class ImageInput: url: str
|
|
@dataclass class LocalImageInput: path: str
|
|
@dataclass class SkillInput: name: str; path: str
|
|
@dataclass class MentionInput: name: str; path: str
|
|
|
|
InputItem = TextInput | ImageInput | LocalImageInput | SkillInput | MentionInput
|
|
Input = list[InputItem] | InputItem
|
|
RunInput = Input | str
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `ImageInput` with a base64-encoded `data:image/...` URL. HTTP and HTTPS image URLs are
|
|
deprecated; download remote images and pass their local paths with `LocalImageInput` instead.
|
|
|
|
Use a plain `str` as shorthand for `TextInput(...)` anywhere a turn input is accepted:
|
|
`thread.run("...")`, `thread.turn("...")`, and `turn.steer("...")`.
|
|
|
|
## Public Types
|
|
|
|
The SDK wrappers return and accept public Codex protocol models wherever possible:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from openai_codex.types import (
|
|
Account,
|
|
AccountLoginCompletedNotification,
|
|
CancelLoginAccountResponse,
|
|
CancelLoginAccountStatus,
|
|
GetAccountResponse,
|
|
ThreadReadResponse,
|
|
Turn,
|
|
TurnStatus,
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Retry + errors
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from openai_codex import (
|
|
retry_on_overload,
|
|
JsonRpcError,
|
|
MethodNotFoundError,
|
|
InvalidParamsError,
|
|
ServerBusyError,
|
|
is_retryable_error,
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `retry_on_overload(...)` retries transient overload errors with exponential backoff + jitter.
|
|
- `is_retryable_error(exc)` checks if an exception is transient/overload-like.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from openai_codex import Codex
|
|
|
|
with Codex() as codex:
|
|
thread = codex.thread_start(model="gpt-5.4", config={"model_reasoning_effort": "high"})
|
|
result = thread.run("Say hello in one sentence.")
|
|
print(result.final_response)
|
|
```
