The SWE that Never Sleeps

The Codegen SDK provides a programmatic interface to code agents provided by Codegen.

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.

Get started at codegen.com and get your API token at codegen.com/token.
