SDK drift: Python base Exchange.__init__ accepts api_token parameter absent from TypeScript ExchangeOptions #1420
Description
Summary
Python's base Exchange.__init__ at sdks/python/pmxt/client.py:329 accepts an api_token: Optional[str] keyword argument. TypeScript's ExchangeOptions interface at sdks/typescript/pmxt/client.ts (around line 232–287) has no apiToken field.
The parameter is used by Metaculus — sdks/python/pmxt/_exchanges.py:341 passes api_token=api_token to super().__init__(). TypeScript Metaculus users have no typed way to pass this credential.

Exchange.__init__ signature includes api_token: Optional[str] |
| Python | sdks/python/pmxt/_exchanges.py:341 |
Metaculus.__init__ forwards api_token=api_token to base |
| TypeScript | sdks/typescript/pmxt/client.ts |
ExchangeOptions interface has no apiToken field |
Impact
TypeScript Metaculus instances cannot provide an API token via the typed constructor interface. Any code migrating from Python to TypeScript will silently drop this credential.

Closing as duplicate of #469. Same underlying finding (Python
Exchange.__init__hasapi_token, no TypeScript equivalent, affects Metaculus). Updated line references have been copied over to #469.Generated by Claude Code
