## Installation

```bash
pip install uipath-sdk
```

using `uv`:

```bash
uv add uipath-sdk
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

Create a `.env` file in your project root with the following variables:

```
UIPATH_URL=https://cloud.uipath.com/ACCOUNT_NAME/TENANT_NAME
UIPATH_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
```

## Basic Usage

```python
from uipath_sdk import UiPathSDK
# Initialize the SDK
sdk = UiPathSDK()
# Execute a process
job = sdk.processes.invoke(
    name="MyProcess",
    input_arguments={"param1": "value1", "param2": 42}
)
# Work with assets
asset = sdk.assets.retrieve(name="MyAsset")
```

## Available Services

The SDK provides access to various UiPath services:
- `sdk.processes` - Manage and execute UiPath automation processes
- `sdk.assets` - Work with assets (variables, credentials) stored in UiPath
- `sdk.buckets` - Manage cloud storage containers for automation files
- `sdk.connections` - Handle connections to external systems
- `sdk.context_grounding` - Work with semantic contexts for AI-enabled automation
- `sdk.jobs` - Monitor and manage automation jobs
- `sdk.queues` - Work with transaction queues
- `sdk.actions` - Work with Action Center
- `sdk.api_client` - Direct access to the API client for custom requests

## Examples

### Buckets Service

```python
# Download a file from a bucket
sdk.buckets.download(
    bucket_key="my-bucket",
    blob_file_path="path/to/file.xlsx",
    destination_path="local/path/file.xlsx"
)
```

### Context Grounding Service

```python
# Search for contextual information
results = sdk.context_grounding.search(
    name="my-knowledge-index",
    query="How do I process an invoice?",
    number_of_results=5
)
```

## Command Line Interface (CLI)

The SDK also provides a command-line interface for creating, packaging, and deploying automations:

### Authentication

```bash
uipath auth
```

This command opens a browser for authentication and creates/updates your `.env` file with the proper credentials.

### Initialize a Project

```bash
uipath init [ENTRYPOINT]
```

Creates a `uipath.json` configuration file for your project. If the entrypoint is not provided, it will try to find a single Python file in the current directory.

### Debug a Project

```bash
uipath run ENTRYPOINT [INPUT]
```

Executes a Python script with the provided JSON input arguments.

### Package a Project

```bash
uipath pack
```

Packages your project into a `.nupkg` file that can be deployed to UiPath.

**Note:** Your `pyproject.toml` must include:
- A description field (avoid characters: &, <, >, ", ', ;)
- Author information

Example:
```toml
description = "Your package description"
authors = [{name = "Your Name", email = "your.email@example.com"}]
```

### Publish a Package

```bash
uipath publish
```

Publishes the most recently created package to your UiPath Orchestrator.

## Project Structure

To properly use the CLI for packaging and publishing, your project should include:
- A `pyproject.toml` file with project metadata
- A `uipath.json` file (generated by `uipath init`)
- Any Python files needed for your automation
