Palantir SDK Patterns

Overview

Production-ready patterns for Foundry Platform SDK and OSDK usage. Covers client singletons, typed error handling, pagination helpers, retry logic, and multi-tenant client factories.

Prerequisites

• Completed palantir-install-auth setup
• Familiarity with async/await patterns
• foundry-platform-sdk or @osdk/client installed

Instructions

Step 1: Singleton Client (Python)

# src/foundry_client.py
import os
import foundry
from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=1)
def get_client() -> foundry.FoundryClient:
    """Thread-safe singleton — cached after first call."""
    auth = foundry.ConfidentialClientAuth(
        client_id=os.environ["FOUNDRY_CLIENT_ID"],
        client_secret=os.environ["FOUNDRY_CLIENT_SECRET"],
        hostname=os.environ["FOUNDRY_HOSTNAME"],
        scopes=["api:read-data", "api:write-data"],
    )
    auth.sign_in_as_service_user()
    return foundry.FoundryClient(auth=auth, hostname=os.environ["FOUNDRY_HOSTNAME"])

Step 2: Typed Error Handling

import foundry
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import TypeVar, Generic, Optional

T = TypeVar("T")

@dataclass
class Result(Generic[T]):
    data: Optional[T] = None
    error: Optional[] = 
    status_code: [] = 

 () -> Result:
    
    :
         Result(data=fn(*args, **kwargs))
     foundry.ApiError  e:
         Result(error=e.message, status_code=e.status_code)
     Exception  e:
         Result(error=(e))


result = safe_call(
    get_client().ontologies.OntologyObject.,
    ontology=, object_type=, page_size=,
)
 result.error:
    ()
:
    ()
