Package: vastai
Vast.ai Python CLIThe Vast.ai Python library provides convenient access to the VastAI API for applications written in the Python language.This CLI has all of the main functionality of the vast.ai website GUI and uses the same underlying REST API. Most of the functionality is self-contained in the single script filevast.py, although the invoice generating commands require installing an additional second script calledvast_pdf.py.You can find usage examples and documentation for the VastAI Python library in ourAPI referenceand the code itself on ourgithub repository.InstallationTo update or install the package, just run:pip install --upgrade vastaiInstall from source with:python setup.py installUsageYou can get a list of available commands withvastai --help.Most commands require authentication through your api-key.  In order to proceed further you will need to login to the vast.ai website and get your api-key.Go tohttps://vast.ai/console/cli/. Copy the command under  the heading "Login / Set API Key" and run it.
The command will be something likevast set api-key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwhere thexxxx...is your api-key (a long hexadecimal number). Note that if the script is
named "vast" in this command on the website and your installed script is named "vast.py"
you will need to change the name of the script in the command you run. Theset api-keycommand saves your api-key in a hidden file in your home directory. Do not share your
api-key with anyone as it authenticates your other vast commands to your account.UsageTo see how the API works you can use it to find machines for rent.vast.py search offers. In this
form the command will show all available offers. To get more specific results try narrowing the search.
There is a large online help page on how to do this. Bring up the help by doingvast.py search offers --help.
There are many parameters that can be used to filter the results. The search command supports
all of the filters and sort options that the website GUI uses. To find Turing GPU instances
(compute capability 7.0 or higher):vast search offers 'compute_cap > 700 'To find instances with a reliability score >= 0.99 and at least 4 gpus, ordering by num of gpus
descending:vast search offers 'reliability > 0.99  num_gpus>=4' -o 'num_gpus-'The output of this command at the time of this writing isID       CUDA  Num  Model        PCIE_BW  vCPUs     RAM  Storage  $/hr     DLPerf  DLP/$  Nvidia Driver Version  Net_up  Net_down  R      Max_Days  machine_id

most of the CLI functionality. If you wish to print PDF format invoices you will need a few other
things. First, you'll need the vast_pdf.py script. This can be found in this repository in the main
directory atvast_pdf.py. This script should be present in the same directory as thevast.pyscript. It makes use of a third party library called Borb to create the PDF invoices. To install
this run the commandpip3 install borbCommandsThe CLI API is all contained in a python script calledvast.py.
This script can be called with various commands as arguments. Commands follow
a simple "verb-object" pattern. As an example, consider "show machines". To run this
command usevast show machinesList of commands and associated help messagevast [-h] [--url URL] [--raw] [--api-key API_KEY] command ...
