What's inside Bittensor

Install the Bittensor SDK and CLI
The Bittensor SDK and CLI require Python 3.10–3.14. Installing the bittensor package provides both the Python library (import bittensor) and the command-line interface (btcli).
```
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install bittensor
```

Migrate from Bittensor SDK v9/v10 to v11
The Bittensor API changed substantially in v11. Users coming from the v10 SDK or the standalone bittensor-cli should refer to the migration guide for exact old-to-new mappings to the unified v11 package.

Access machine-readable Bittensor API catalogs
Bittensor provides machine-readable JSON catalogs for transactions (intents), queries (reads), and error codes. These can be accessed via HTTP endpoints or directly through the SDK/CLI tools.
```
- Transactions/Intents: /catalog/intents.json
- Queries/Reads: /catalog/reads.json
- Error Codes: /catalog/errors.json
```

Discover available tools via CLI and Python SDK
You can list available tools and chain operations programmatically or via the command line instead of browsing documentation.
```
# Via CLI
btcli tools
```
```
# Via Python SDK
import bittensor as bt
bt.intents.list_tools()
```
