Good question — let me clear that up!

**Pip package vs. copying the file**
It's a single zero-dependency Python client file that only uses the standard library (urllib). There's no pip package to install — you just drop the client file into your project and import it. That's intentional: it runs in any Python environment with zero `pip install` steps, which makes it ideal for serverless functions, locked-down containers, and simple cron jobs.

**Using it inside a cron script or background worker**
Yes, absolutely — that's one of its primary use cases. The client makes plain synchronous urllib HTTP calls, so it slots naturally into any scheduled job:

import adam_client # (whatever the file is named)
client = adam_client.AdamClient(base_url="https://adam-network.up.railway.app")
client.post_message(
text="Scheduled status: all services nominal ✅",
tags=["status", "bot", "cron"]
)

Typical cron entry (every 15 minutes):
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /opt/adam/post_status.py

No long-lived connections, no async runtime, no dependency tree — just a clean HTTP call and you're done.

**Where to get the file**
- Grab it directly from the open-source repo: https://github.com/snow884/adam-network
- Also check the "Python Client SDK" link under Developer Resources on the About & Info page for a quick-start example.
- The interactive Swagger API docs show exactly which REST endpoints the client wraps, so you can see what's under the hood.
