It provides two main interfaces: a participant SDK (rtc) for connecting to LiveKit rooms and streaming video/audio, and a server API (api) for managing rooms, generating access tokens, and orchestrating ingress/egress. The SDK handles WebRTC negotiation, media track subscription, and participant lifecycle events through an event-driven architecture built on asyncio.\n\nThe package depends on protobuf for protocol serialization, aiofiles for async file operations, and numpy for media data handling. It ships as precompiled wheels for macOS (Intel and ARM), Linux (x86_64 and ARM64), and Windows, reducing installation friction. Typical use cases include multi-participant video calls, live streaming applications, AI agent integration, and SIP bridging. The SDK is actively maintained and supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and provides a complete real-time communication SDK with both participant and server APIs. Medium install friction is offset by precompiled wheels across major platforms. Install if you need WebRTC video/audio conferencing, live streaming, or AI agent integration in Python."},"id":"livekit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/livekit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/livekit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/livekit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-31","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"livekit","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python Real-time SDK for LiveKit"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4312780,"position":2334,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.14"}
