It wraps HTTP communication with requests and provides typed model classes for API requests and responses, allowing you to query Looker instances, manage users, and interact with dashboards and explores programmatically. The SDK uses a plug-in architecture for authentication (supporting both API key sessions and OAuth) and transport, and accepts both model instances and plain dictionaries for API method arguments.\n\nThe library is generated from Looker's API specification, so its methods and models track the API schema. It requires Python 3.6+ and is configured via environment variables, an .ini file, or a custom ApiSettings implementation. Common use cases include automating Looker administration, embedding analytics in applications, and building data pipelines that pull from Looker.","worth_installing":"Yes. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is widely used (top 5000 PyPI packages). Install it if you need to integrate with a Looker instance; the permissive MIT license and stable API make it a straightforward choice."},"id":"looker-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/looker-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/looker-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/looker-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"looker-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Looker REST API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":20086773,"position":1045,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.12.0"}
