Consistent API Across Languages

All SDKs follow the same patterns and naming conventions, making it easy to switch between languages or work across multiple services.

// Quick example: Evaluate access in any language

// Go
result, err := client.Decisions.Evaluate(ctx, &decision.EvaluateRequest{
    PrincipalID: "user-123",
    Action:      "read",
    Resource:    "document:report",
})

# Python
result = await client.decisions.evaluate(
    principal_id="user-123",
    action="read",
    resource="document:report",
)

// Node.js
const result = await client.decisions.evaluate({
    principalId: "user-123",
    action: "read",
    resource: "document:report",
});

// Java
DecisionResult result = client.decisions().evaluate(
    EvaluateRequest.builder()
        .principalId("user-123")
        .action("read")
        .resource("document:report")
        .build()
);

Common Features

Every SDK includes these capabilities out of the box.

Automatic Retries

Exponential backoff with jitter for transient failures. Configurable retry count and timeouts.

Decision Caching

Built-in local caching for access decisions. Reduces latency and API calls for repeated evaluations.

Type Safety

Full type definitions in every language. Catch errors at compile time, not runtime.

Comprehensive Logging

Structured logging with configurable levels. Trace individual requests through the system.

CLI Tool

The TigerIdentity CLI provides command-line access to all platform features. Manage policies, test access decisions, and debug configurations from your terminal.
