Natural has official SDKs for building agents, in Python and TypeScript.

Available tools

Python SDK

pip install naturalpay - Build agents in Python

TypeScript SDK

npm install @naturalpay/sdk - Build agents in TypeScript/JavaScript

Installation

Quick start

Agent authentication

Both SDKs accept either credential type in NATURAL_API_KEY (see Authentication):
  • Agent key (ak_ntl_…) — Bound to one agent. Requests resolve as that agent automatically: do not pass an agent ID (a conflicting one is rejected). An instance ID is required for money movement (payments.create, transfers, payment-request fulfillment) so each agent run is auditable. In Python, pass instance_id to the client constructor and build a client per run. In TypeScript, set it on the constructor or per call.
  • API key (sk_ntl_…) — Party-scoped. Calls act as your party and cannot act as an agent (see Authentication).

With an agent key

Available resources

Both SDKs provide these resources. Python names them in snake_case (payment_requests), TypeScript in camelCase (paymentRequests):

Test in the sandbox

Both SDKs run against the sandbox unchanged: use a sandbox key and the sandbox base URL. The sandbox-only simulations resource drives the counterparty side of every flow.
See Sandbox from MCP, CLI, and SDKs for the full simulation surface.
