There’s not a 1-to-1 match of Provider to SDKClient, because some providers use the same SDK client (like OpenAI, which has 10+ providers using their SDK, at least for agents). ### Method: `as_provider` [Section titled “Method: as_provider”](#method-as_provider) ** ``` as_provider() ``` Get the provider as a member of Provider. ### Method: `card_for_provider_and_category` [Section titled “Method: card_for_provider_and_category”](#method-card_for_provider_and_category) ** ``` card_for_provider_and_category() ``` Get the service card for a given provider and category that uses this SDK client. ### Method: `client_available` [Section titled “Method: client_available”](#method-client_available) ** ``` client_available() ``` Check if the SDK client package is available. ### Method: `clients` [Section titled “Method: clients”](#method-clients) ** ``` clients() ``` Get all SDK clients as lazy imports. ### Method: `for_provider_and_category` [Section titled “Method: for_provider_and_category”](#method-for_provider_and_category) ** ``` for_provider_and_category() ``` Get the SDK clients for a given provider and category. ## Function: `get_categories` [Section titled “Function: get_categories”](#function-get_categories) ** ``` get_categories() ``` Get the categories of a provider. ## Function: `get_default_provider_import_for_category` [Section titled “Function: get_default_provider_import_for_category”](#function-get_default_provider_import_for_category) ** ``` get_default_provider_import_for_category() ``` Get the default provider import for a given provider and category.
