On March 7th of 2016, a couple of members of the Globus team started working on replacing the globusonline-transfer-api-client package. We debated what to call it. Was it the globus-client? Just globus-python? "What about SDK -- Standard Development Kit?" "Yeah, SDK is good."

Scripting With Globus Just Got Easy!

• curl "http://transfer.api.globus.org/..."
• ssh cli.globusonline.org "..."
• subprocess.Popen(["ssh", "cli.globusonline.org", "..."])

Say "hello" to the new Globus SDK and CLI! As of April, 2017, these products are officially out of beta and ready for use.
