It sits on top of two core Alibaba Cloud libraries (alibabacloud-tea-openapi and darabonba-core) that handle the underlying HTTP transport and code generation framework.\n\nThe package is intended for applications that need to authenticate with Alibaba Cloud services using temporary credentials rather than long-lived access keys\u2014a common pattern for delegating access, cross-account operations, or federated identity scenarios. It supports Python 3.7 through 3.12 and is actively maintained by Alibaba Cloud.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building on Alibaba Cloud and need STS functionality. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and no known vulnerabilities. It is the official SDK for this API and integrates cleanly with the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem. Install only if you actually use Alibaba Cloud STS; it is not useful outside that context."},"id":"alibabacloud-sts20150401","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/alibabacloud-sts20150401","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/alibabacloud-sts20150401.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/alibabacloud-sts20150401/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"alibabacloud-sts20150401","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Alibaba Cloud Sts (20150401) SDK Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":243645,"position":8783,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0"}
