It provides direct, type-hinted access to Benchling's REST API endpoints, with built-in retry logic via backoff and request handling through httpx. The package is actively maintained and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13.\n\nHowever, the package's own documentation explicitly recommends using the higher-level benchling-sdk instead, which wraps this client with additional scaffolding to simplify common workflows. Use this package directly only if you need low-level API control, are integrating with a specific endpoint not well-covered by the SDK, or prefer working with the raw OpenAPI-generated interface.","worth_installing":"Yes, but with a caveat: install this only if you are building a direct API integration and the benchling-sdk does not meet your needs. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, Benchling's own recommendation to use the higher-level SDK suggests this is a lower-level tool; start with the SDK unless you have a specific reason to work at the raw API level."},"id":"benchling-api-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/benchling-api-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/benchling-api-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/benchling-api-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"benchling-api-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Autogenerated Python client from OpenAPI Python Client generator"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":291509,"position":7970,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.440"}
