The Twin API enables you to build advanced agents with complex logic, by creating sequences of tasks, batch of tasks, conditional tasks and by composing tasks with each others - similar to how humans execute complex tasks.
Get your API Key
Sign up on our Playground and create a new API key. Remember, your API key is your access secret—keep it safe with environment variables.
Install package
Install the requests python package necessary to run the API.
Launch and monitor your first task
Use the following Python code to create a task and monitor the agent’s progress while completing the task
import requests
import time
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
api_url = "https://api.twin.so"
# Task configuration
start_url = "https://www.google.com"
goal = "Find the latest price of AAPL stock. Return the stock price, nothing else."
# Start the task
response = requests.post(
f"{api_url}/browse",
headers={
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-api-key': api_key
},
json={
"startUrl": start_url,
"goal": goal,
"outputType": "string"
}
)
# Get the task ID
task_id = response.json().get("taskId")
if not task_id:
print("Failed to start task.")
exit()
print(f"Started task with ID: {task_id}")
previous_action = None
# Poll for task status
while True:
response = requests.get(
f"{api_url}/task/{task_id}?limit=1",
headers={'x-api-key': api_key}
)
data = response.json()
status = data.get('status')
steps = data.get('steps', [])
if steps:
last_action = steps[-1].get('action')
if last_action != previous_action and last_action is not None:
print(f"Last action: {last_action}")
previous_action = last_action
if status in ['COMPLETED', 'FAILED']:
print(f"Task {status}.")
break
time.sleep(2)
Output Example
Started task with ID: 90347816-e2b3-479a-a28e-8b3a96f84916
Last action:
{
'action': 'type_and_submit',
'human_readable': 'the agent typed the text "AAPL stock price" and pressed enter in element with the id="typable-element-11" of an HTML type "textarea" and the textual content ""'
}
Last action:
{
'action': 'record',
'human_readable': 'Recording the following:\nThe latest price of AAPL (Apple Inc) stock is 220.82 USD.'
}
Task COMPLETED.
