It provides a straightforward API to create and delete communication identities, issue scoped access tokens for services like chat and calling, and revoke tokens when needed. The library wraps Azure's REST API and handles authentication via connection strings or Azure Active Directory credentials.\n\nThe package is designed as a foundational component for applications that need to integrate Azure Communication Services. You use it to bootstrap identity management before calling other Azure communication client libraries (chat, calling, SMS). It supports token scoping to limit permissions, custom token expiration times, and Teams user token exchange for hybrid scenarios.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a stable, actively maintained library with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install it if you are building on Azure Communication Services and need to manage identities and tokens from Python. It is a required foundation for using other Azure communication client packages."},"id":"azure-communication-identity","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-communication-identity","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-communication-identity.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-communication-identity/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-02-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-communication-identity","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure Communication Identity Service Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":311037,"position":7742,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.0"}
