It abstracts Galaxy's REST endpoints into Python objects and methods, allowing developers to programmatically manage workflows, datasets, libraries, and other Galaxy resources without direct HTTP calls. The library depends on PyYAML, requests, requests-toolbelt, and tuspy to handle configuration, HTTP communication, and file uploads.\n\nThe package is production-ready (Development Status 5), actively maintained, and tested on Python 3.10 through 3.14. It targets bioinformaticians and developers building automated pipelines or integrating Galaxy into larger systems. The MIT license and broad Python version support make it suitable for both academic and commercial use.","worth_installing":"Yes. BioBlend is a mature, actively maintained library with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive MIT license. Install it if you need to programmatically interact with a Galaxy server; the recent commit history and broad Python version support indicate ongoing care. The 4 runtime dependencies are all well-established packages."},"id":"bioblend","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bioblend","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bioblend.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bioblend/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-14","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"bioblend","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Library for interacting with the Galaxy API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":163566,"position":10568,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.9.0"}
