The Alterscope API is plain HTTPS + JSON, so any HTTP client can call it. First-party SDKs add typed models, the agentic-envelope helpers, retry, and pagination so you write less boilerplate.

SDK or raw HTTP?

  • Use an SDK when you want typed responses, automatic retries, pagination helpers, and the freshnessStatusOf / freshness_status_of envelope helpers without writing them yourself.
  • Use raw HTTP for one-off calls, shell scripts, languages without a first-party SDK, or when you want full control over the wire. See curl.
Whichever you choose, authentication and the response envelope are identical — see Authentication and Response envelope.
