ELI-5

The Python SDK could run a Comfy Router model but couldn't tell you which models exist or what inputs a model takes. You had to write the HTTP calls yourself. This adds client.models.list() (walk the model catalog) and client.models.schema(model) (fetch a model's input/output OpenAPI document). Both work the same way as in the TypeScript SDK.

What changed

  • models.list(*, cursor=None, limit=None, timeout=DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT) calls GET {router_base_url}/v2/models. It returns a lazy ModelList:
    • Iterating it walks every page, following next_cursor while has_more is true, and yields CatalogModel(id, provider, model, billing).
    • .page() returns one ModelPage(data, has_more, next_cursor, limit, request_id).
    • limit is sent unchanged, including values above 100, because the server clamps them.
    • AsyncModels.list() returns an AsyncModelList (async for, await ….page()).
  • models.schema(model, *, etag=None, timeout=DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT) calls GET {router_base_url}/v2/models/{provider}/{model}/openapi.json. Each segment goes through the existing parse_model_id and is percent-encoded. It returns SchemaResult(unchanged, document, etag, request_id).
    • With etag=, it sends If-None-Match, and a 304 returns unchanged=True, document=None rather than raising.
  • Behaviour shared with run(): Router base URL, bearer credential, retry policy (a 429 with Retry-After is ridden out), and error translation. Because a discovery read is a keyless GET that bills nothing, it also retries a 5xx or read timeout (the possibly-in-flight class a run must opt into) whenever the client's policy retries at all. NO_RETRY is still one attempt. 401/403/404/5xx raise the typed Router exception read from X-Comfy-Error-Type (Unauthorized, Forbidden, ModelNotFound, InternalError, ServiceUnavailable, …).
  • Transport (comfy_low): get_model_catalog / get_model_schema on both transports. The routes are confined to _MODEL_CATALOG_PATH / _MODEL_SCHEMA_PATH_TEMPLATE, and DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT = httpx.Timeout(30.0).
  • Tests:
    • tests/test_router_spec_contract.py pins both routes by get.operationId (listRouterModels, getRouterModelInputSchema) against the vendored spec, plus the catalog's cursor/limit parameter names. A mutation check (moving the constant to /v3/models) fails the test.
    • New tests/test_models_discovery.py (54 tests) drives the stub server. It covers:
      • a multi-page walk, sync and async
      • limit 101/500 passed through
      • a 304 on an etag match, sync and async, and a stale tag getting the new document
      • 404 → ModelNotFound, sync and async
      • typed 401/403/500/503 errors
      • a separate Router origin receiving the credential
      • retry, the 30 s default, and a per-call timeout
      • malformed ids rejected before any request
      • loop guards
      • malformed answers (a non-object page or schema 200, an entry whose id doesn't parse or doesn't match its provider/model) raising invalid_response
      • next_cursor cleared on the last page, a 304 without ETag keeping the sent tag, and an empty or non-ASCII etag refused before any request
    • conftest.py gains the two routes.
  • README gets models.list / models.schema sections with runnable examples, and the hand-fetch openapi.json instruction now points at models.schema. There's also a CHANGELOG entry.

Judgment calls

  • Timeout default: the proposed signature said timeout=None, but it also asked for a 30 s default. In this SDK timeout=None already means "wait indefinitely" (run()), so the default is DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT (30 s) and None keeps its existing meaning.
  • AsyncModels.list is not async def: it returns the async iterable directly, so async for m in client.models.list(): works without an extra await, matching the TypeScript shape. It is declared, with that reason, in _SYNC_ON_BOTH in tests/test_sync_async_parity.py, which enforces the add-await contract.
  • Loop guards: a page that says has_more but has no next_cursor, or repeats a cursor already followed, raises ComfyError(code="invalid_response") instead of looping forever.
  • Stray 304: a 304 to a request that sent no etag is raised rather than reported as "unchanged". A caller with no tag has no cached copy that could be current.
  • billing is carried as the decoded JSON mapping rather than a class, so new server fields reach callers without a release. id/provider/model are validated because they address run(): id must parse as a run id and equal {provider}/{model}, so allowlisting on entry.provider and then running entry.id is safe.
  • None means only 304: the transport raises invalid_response for a 200 schema body that isn't a JSON object, so JSON null can't be read as "unchanged".
  • Hashing: CatalogModel hashes on its id triple (so set(client.models.list()) works). SchemaResult stays unhashable because its document is a mutable dict.
  • No page cap on the walk: the iterator is lazy, so the caller bounds it. A fixed ceiling could silently truncate a large catalog.
  • Test harness: the proposed approach mentioned an "httpx mock" pattern. The tests use the repo's stub server instead, because AGENTS.md says not to mock httpx.
  • ModelNotFound on the schema route is the server's own 404 answer, translated. The SDK doesn't deny any capability locally. Malformed ids are refused locally with ValueError, exactly as run() refuses them.

Verification against the live routes (read-only)

  • Unauthenticated curl of https://api.comfy.org/v2/models?limit=2 and …/v2/models/bfl/flux-2-pro/openapi.json both return 401 with X-Comfy-Error-Type: unauthorized and Router's error body. So both routes exist at the bound paths.
  • Through the SDK with a dummy key, client.models.list(limit=2).page() and client.models.schema("bfl/flux-2-pro") both raise Unauthorized (401, error_type="unauthorized", request_id populated).

Merged with main

Merged main at 3ceef4e to pick up #145 (binary run results). The conflicts were in the README and in src/comfy_sdk/models.py; both sides were kept. The "Two result shapes" section stays next to models.run, and its manual openapi.json fetch now links to models.schema. AsyncModels.list/schema sit before #145's module __all__. The credits_used spec-contract tripwire that failed on this branch earlier passes on the merged tree.

Residual

  • The success path against a real deployment is unverified. No valid credential was available, so these were checked only against the stub server and the live 401 answers:

    • a 200 page of GET /v2/models
    • a 200 document with ETag from GET /v2/models/{provider}/{model}/openapi.json
    • a real 304 on If-None-Match

    The README examples (client.models.list(), client.models.schema("bfl/flux-2-pro")) likewise weren't run end to end. Worth one authenticated smoke run, which is read-only and unbilled.

  • scripts/check_drift.py does not pin the two discovery routes. It still checks only the run route. The pytest contract test above does pin them and runs in CI's test job, but the codegen-drift job won't flag a moved discovery route for someone who only runs the drift script.

  • getRouterModel (GET /v2/models/{provider}/{model}) is still not exposed in Python (or TypeScript). It was out of scope by design; its only extra field, input_schema_url, is covered by schema().

  • TypeScript parity allowlist: the TypeScript SDK's surface-parity.test.ts lists modelsMethodsAheadOfPython: ["schema", "list"]. That entry should be removed in comfy-typescript-sdk once this merges.

  • Docs code samples: adding Python/TypeScript x-codeSamples to the Router OpenAPI spec for the docs reference pages is separate work in the upstream contract.

  • Stale docstring: the comfy_sdk/models.py module docstring still says "run is the one model operation today". That was already stale before this change (submit/subscribe/handle exist) and I didn't rewrite it here.

Provenance

  • Authored by: agent-work loop
  • Verified:
    • At 3ceef4e (merge of main): ruff check . clean, ruff format --check . clean, mypy src 0 issues in 22 files, pytest 1135 passed / 9 skipped / 0 failed
    • At 3ceef4e: scripts/check_drift.py all OK; scripts/check_public_repo_hygiene.py OK
    • tests/test_models_discovery.py on Python 3.10 (at af766b5): 54 passed
    • Live unauthenticated/dummy-key probe of both routes: 401 → typed Unauthorized
  • Deviations: default timeout is DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT (30 s) rather than None, so None keeps meaning "wait indefinitely". The success path wasn't exercised against a live deployment (no credential); see Residual.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Browse the model catalog with synchronous or asynchronous clients, using cursor-based pagination or fetching a single page.
    • Retrieve a model’s OpenAPI schema and use ETags to check whether it has changed.
    • Discovery requests use the configured retry policy and provide typed errors.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on catalog pagination, schema retrieval, and finding image input formats.

…discovery

Python could run a Router model but not discover one: there was no way to
list the catalog or read a model's input/output schema, so integrators
hand-rolled GET /v2/models and .../openapi.json. This adds both, mirroring
the TypeScript SDK's shapes.

- list(cursor=, limit=, timeout=) returns a lazy iterable that walks the
  catalog by next_cursor while has_more is true; .page() returns one
  ModelPage (data, has_more, next_cursor, limit, request_id). limit is
  passed through unchanged (the server clamps above 100).
- schema(model, etag=, timeout=) returns a SchemaResult; with etag it sends
  If-None-Match and a 304 is unchanged=True, document=None, not an error.
- Same Router host, credential, retry policy and typed Router exceptions
  as run(); 30s default discovery timeout. Async twins on AsyncComfy.
- Both routes are pinned by operationId against the vendored Router spec.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds synchronous and asynchronous model catalog listing and OpenAPI schema retrieval through the Router. Catalog iteration follows pagination cursors, while schema requests support conditional ETag retrieval. The change adds response types, retry and error handling, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Model discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Router discovery transport
src/comfy_low/transport.py, tests/conftest.py, tests/test_router_spec_contract.py
Adds catalog and schema route bindings and sync and async transport methods. The test server handles catalog and schema requests, and contract tests compare the routes and catalog query parameters with the vendored spec.
Catalog and schema API
src/comfy_sdk/model_catalog.py, src/comfy_sdk/models.py, src/comfy_sdk/__init__.py, tests/test_models_discovery.py
Adds catalog page and schema result types, sync and async discovery methods, pagination, conditional ETag handling, retry behavior, error translation, and public exports. Tests cover sync and async calls, malformed responses, retries, and timeouts.
Usage documentation and parity
README.md, CHANGELOG.md, tests/test_sync_async_parity.py
Documents catalog listing and schema retrieval, including pagination, ETag behavior, errors, and timeout options. The parity test accounts for lazy async catalog iteration.

  200 carrying JSON null can no longer read as a 304 "unchanged"
- require a catalog entry's id to parse as a run id and match its

"Two result shapes" README section and the new models.list / models.schema
sections, point its hand-fetch of a model's openapi.json at models.schema,
and keep AsyncModels' discovery methods ahead of the module __all__.
