Create your task application using Python
Welcome to the docs page for Golem Python SDK.
The core of the Python SDK is the @golem-sdk/yapapi library that enables interaction with the Golem Network. The library offers:
- Task API
- Service API
The task-based API assumes that the developer starts with a problem that requires splitting into fragments to parallelize the execution using multiple providers. Therefore your application will run in a kind of batch mode: it executes certain computations and finishes once the results are ready.
The services API assumes the user would like to treat provider nodes as something like service-hosting platforms, where each activity corresponds to a single instance of some service.
You can start your journey with Golem and create great decentralized apps the way that suits your style and preference:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Quickstarts | If you like to start with something quick and simple - go to the Python Quickstart. |
| Tutorials | If you prefer to learn how to write apps on Golem through practical use cases - try one of our tutorials. |
| Guides | If you prefer to begin by understanding the Golem Application Fundamentals and Network concepts or have an overview of the Task API and Service API models - check out the Guides section. You can also find an explanation of Golem images and how to create custom ones. |
| Tools instructions | Contains instructions on how to install and use Yagna (this is the piece that makes you part of the Golem Network) and gvmkit-build (a tool that allows you to create your custom Golem images) and other important components of building and running Golem apps. |
| API Reference | We also provide a reference where you can explore details of the API. |
