There is no scienter-sdk or ghostcopy-sdk package on PyPI. No pyproject.toml or setup.py for one exists anywhere in the repository. If you’ve seen pip install scienter-sdk referenced elsewhere, it does not exist today — this page shows the honest alternative: calling the real local HTTP API directly, which needs nothing beyond requests.
Scienter’s engine is itself written in Python (ghostcopy/), but it’s an application you run, not a library you import into another project. The supported way to integrate from Python is over HTTP, against your own running instance.

A minimal client

Backtests and tier routes

See the full API Reference for every route this way of calling things applies to — every endpoint on this site has a Python example alongside its curl and TypeScript ones.

Prefer an agent? Use the MCP server instead

If you’re working inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf rather than writing a standalone script, the MCP server gives you 19 tools with no HTTP client code to write at all.
Scienter publishes impersonal market signals of general and regular circulation. Nothing here is investment, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. Scienter is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Trading digital assets can result in the total loss of your funds — see Disclaimers for the full text.
