It abstracts the complexity of connecting to OpenStack Identity (Keystone) services by providing ready-made authentication plugins for common credential types\u2014passwords, tokens, and federated identity\u2014plus automatic API version discovery and a session wrapper around the requests library to manage credentials across multiple API calls.\n\nDevelopers use keystoneauth1 when building tools that interact with OpenStack clouds: it handles credential exchange, token refresh, and endpoint discovery so that higher-level clients (like the OpenStack SDK or individual service clients) can focus on API logic rather than authentication plumbing. The package is maintained as part of the OpenStack project and is a foundational dependency for most OpenStack Python tooling.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building tools or applications that interact with OpenStack clouds. keystoneauth1 is the standard authentication library for the OpenStack ecosystem, actively maintained, well-integrated with the broader OpenStack Python tooling, and carries no known vulnerabilities. Install it as a dependency of higher-level OpenStack clients or directly if you are writing custom OpenStack integrations."},"id":"keystoneauth1","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/keystoneauth1","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/keystoneauth1.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/keystoneauth1/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-03","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"keystoneauth1","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Authentication Library for OpenStack Identity"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1978525,"position":3389,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.15.0"}
