# Introducing the Stedi TypeScript and Python SDKs

> Stedi now has official TypeScript and Python SDKs, available from npm and PyPI. You get types, retries, and error handling without writing your own client.

We're releasing official software development kits (SDKs) for TypeScript and Python. The SDK packages are available from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@stedi/sdk) and [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/stedi/).

Previously, Stedi only offered [REST APIs](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference). If you wanted language-specific types, retries, or error handling, you had to write your own client. Every customer who integrated with Stedi had to repeat that work.

Now the SDKs do that work for you. You get types, retries, and error handling as part of the SDKs. You only need to write the parts that are specific to your product.

This initial SDK release includes operations covering the following API endpoints:

- [The redesigned JSON Real-Time Eligibility Check API endpoint](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/post-eligibility-check)
- [CMS-1500 Professional Claim API endpoints](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/post-create-professional-claim-json)
- [Claims Lifecycle API endpoints](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/list-claims)
- [Event Destination API endpoints](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/post-event-destinations-create-destination)

## Get started

Visit the [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@stedi/sdk) and [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/stedi/) pages for installation and quickstart instructions.

You'll find runnable, end-to-end examples for every operation in the `examples/` directories:

- [TypeScript examples](https://github.com/Stedi/sdk/tree/main/examples/typescript)
- [Python examples](https://github.com/Stedi/sdk/tree/main/examples/python)

## Versioning

The SDKs are generated from our own internal API models, so they stay in lockstep with our REST APIs.

We keep the SDKs backwards compatible within a major version. These changes don't require a new major version:

- New API operations
- New optional parameters
- New fields in responses
- A change in the order of response properties
- A mandatory parameter that becomes optional

A breaking change gets a new major version. Previous major versions keep working, but we recommend that you upgrade.

## Try Stedi for free

To use the SDKs, you must have a [Stedi API key](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference#api-key-types).

To get started, [sign up](https://portal.stedi.com/auth/sign-up-intent) for a free sandbox account. It takes less than two minutes. No credit card is required.

With a sandbox account, you can create a [test API key](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/test-mode#generate-test-api-keys) to run [predefined mock eligibility checks](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/mock-requests-eligibility-checks) or [set up event destinations](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/event-destinations-configure).

When you're ready, upgrade to production on our [pay-as-you-go plan](https://www.stedi.com/pricing). There are no monthly minimums or setup fees. You only pay for the transactions you use.
