It provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces to query and manipulate time series, assets, events, and other data types stored in CDF. Version 8 introduces full async/await support via the new AsyncCogniteClient, enabling non-blocking concurrent operations in notebooks and web frameworks like Streamlit, alongside a refactored synchronous client that now wraps the async implementation internally.\n\nThe SDK is tightly integrated with pandas and numpy, offering specialized endpoints like retrieve_dataframe and retrieve_arrays for efficient bulk data retrieval. It depends on authlib and msal for authentication, httpx for HTTP operations, protobuf for serialization, and standard utility libraries. Installation is straightforward with optional extras for data science workflows (pandas, numpy, geo, sympy, yaml).","worth_installing":"Yes. The SDK is actively maintained (released within 1 day), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. It is the official client for Cognite Data Fusion and essential if you work with CDF data. The async support in v8 is a significant addition for concurrent workloads. Install it if you need to access CDF from Python; skip it only if you do not use Cognite's platform."},"id":"cognite-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cognite-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cognite-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cognite-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cognite-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Cognite Python SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":511770,"position":6259,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.13.0"}
