The PromptJuggler Java SDK is a thin, typed wrapper over the public REST API. You call flat, synchronous methods and get back typed model objects — authentication, request building, and JSON (de)serialization are handled for you. It runs on the JDK’s built-in HTTP client, so it pulls in no third-party HTTP stack.

​
Requirements

  • Java 17 or newer

​
Installation

Use the latest version from Maven Central.

​
Set up the client

Create an API key in Settings, then construct the client once and reuse it (it is thread-safe):
The key is sent as a Bearer token to https://promptjuggler.com. Point the SDK at another host (e.g. for testing) with the two-argument constructor: new PromptJuggler(apiKey, baseUrl).

​
Per-endpoint usage

Every endpoint in the API reference includes a Java SDK code sample showing the exact call — that’s the place to look for how to invoke each operation and what it returns. A typical flow:
Optional run parameters (priority, thread, environment, metadata, …) go through a RunOptions builder passed as the last argument:
Methods return typed model objects with validated fields. They are read-only data — read the fields, don’t write them back.

​
Error handling

When the API responds with an error status, the SDK throws an ApiError carrying the HTTP status code and the server’s message. When the request never reaches the API (DNS failure, timeout, offline), it throws a NetworkError. Both extend PromptJugglerException, which is checked — every call that reaches the API declares throws PromptJugglerException, so the compiler makes you handle (or propagate) the failure. Catch the base to handle the whole surface at once, or catch ApiError first when you need the status code:
You never catch a generated-client error — the SDK translates the underlying client’s errors into its own.

​
Webhooks

PromptJuggler signs every webhook with the PromptJuggler-Signature header. Verify it against the raw request body, before any JSON parsing:
Webhooks.verifySignature recomputes the HMAC-SHA256 of {timestamp}.{raw_body}, compares it in constant time, and rejects deliveries whose timestamp falls outside a tolerance window (default 300s) to prevent replay. Widen or narrow it with the five-argument overload.
