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:
