SDK no-code app error suggesting my app does not exist

[CakeCrusher]

Running this:

print(WRITER_APP_ID)
app_res = client.applications.generate_content(
    application_id=WRITER_APP_ID,
    inputs=[
        {
            "id": "name1",
            "value": ["Input1"]
        }
    ]
)

print(app_res.model_dump_json(indent=2))

Results in this:

I know my application exists as I have been using its API key for chat completion.

Hey @CakeCrusher great to see you -- what type of no-code application is this? And is it deployed (whether to Writer Cloud or as an embedded application)?

@samjulien
(if you think this is solvable through the SDK alone (doubt it), happy to submit a PR, in that instance any guidance would be awesome)
Hi,
I created a Developer tools -> API app and used the API key and APP id from there.
This guide https://dev.writer.com/api-guides/quickstart leaves the app selection ambiguous, I imagine the intention in this case is to select the API app.

Also here is reproducible code:

from writerai import Writer
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()

WRITER_API_KEY = os.getenv("WRITER_API_KEY")
WRITER_APP_ID = os.getenv("WRITER_APP_ID")
if not WRITER_API_KEY or not WRITER_APP_ID:
    raise ValueError("missing env vars")

client = Writer(api_key=WRITER_API_KEY)

app_res = client.applications.generate_content(
    application_id=WRITER_APP_ID,
    inputs=[
        {
            "id": "name1",
            "value": ["Input1"]
        }
    ]
)

print(app_res.model_dump_json(indent=2))

[samjulien]

Ah, to clarify here: the applications.generate_content method is intended for use with no-code text generation apps. Sorry for the confusion!
