Installation

The Glacis Python SDK provides cryptographic attestation for AI systems. Install it to prove what your AI did, what data it saw, and what controls were active.

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)

Install from PyPI

pip

pip install glacis

pip (with extras)

# OpenAI integration
pip install glacis[openai]

# Anthropic integration
pip install glacis[anthropic]

# All integrations
pip install glacis[all]

Getting an API Key

2. Create an organization
3. Generate an API key (glsk_live_...)
4. Set the environment variable:

   export GLACIS_API_KEY=glsk_live_your_key_here
