title: "Introduction"
description: "Build and operate Dograh voice AI agents programmatically from Python or TypeScript"
---
Dograh ships official SDKs for **Python** and **TypeScript** that wrap the Dograh REST API and the workflow builder. Use them to create or edit agents, place outbound calls, and inspect runs from your own code.
- **Python** — [`dograh-sdk`](https://pypi.org/project/dograh-sdk/) on PyPI
- **TypeScript** — [`@dograh/sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dograh/sdk) on npm
Both packages are generated from the same backend OpenAPI spec, so the method surface is equivalent — only the naming convention differs (`snake_case` in Python, `camelCase` in TypeScript).
## Install
<CodeGroup>
```bash Python
pip install dograh-sdk
```
```bash TypeScript
npm install @dograh/sdk
```
</CodeGroup>
## Authenticate
Generate an API key at [`/api-keys`](https://app.dograh.com/api-keys) (or `http://localhost:3010/api-keys` for self-hosted). See [API Keys](/configurations/api-keys) for details.
Both SDKs read the API key from the `DOGRAH_API_KEY` environment variable by default, and the base URL from `DOGRAH_API_URL` (defaults to `http://localhost:8000`). You can also pass them explicitly.
<CodeGroup>
```python Python
from dograh_sdk import DograhClient
client = DograhClient(
base_url="https://app.dograh.com",
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
```
```typescript TypeScript
import { DograhClient } from "@dograh/sdk";
const client = new DograhClient({
baseUrl: "https://app.dograh.com",
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
});
```
</CodeGroup>
<Note>
For self-hosted deployments, swap `baseUrl` for your backend URL (e.g. `http://localhost:8000`).
</Note>
## Quick tour
List the agents in your workspace:
<CodeGroup>
```python Python
workflows = client.list_workflows()
for wf in workflows:
print(wf.id, wf.name)
```
```typescript TypeScript
const workflows = await client.listWorkflows();
for (const wf of workflows) {
console.log(wf.id, wf.name);
}
```
</CodeGroup>
## Next steps
- [Build an agent](/sdks/build-an-agent) — assemble nodes and edges, save as a draft
- [Place an outbound call](/sdks/outbound-calls) — trigger a call from an agent to a phone number
- [MCP Server](/integrations/mcp) — let Claude and other coding agents drive the SDK for you
