It provides structured access to entity lifecycle management (create, retrieve, update individuals and corporations), identity verification (KBA, SMS, SNA, BYO KYC), account discovery and connection across financial institutions, and credit scoring. The library handles the HTTP communication via its hammock dependency and exposes Method's REST endpoints as Python objects and methods.\n\nThe package is designed for fintech applications that need to onboard end-users, verify their identity, discover their existing financial accounts, and retrieve credit data. It abstracts away API authentication and request formatting, allowing developers to work with Python dictionaries and method calls rather than raw HTTP. Entity verification sessions expire after 10 minutes, and access to certain products requires entities to be active or team-level enablement.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a fintech application that requires entity management, identity verification, or account aggregation via the Method API. The library has low install friction, permissive licensing, and active maintenance. However, it is tightly coupled to Method's proprietary API and requires a valid account and API key; it is not useful outside that ecosystem. Verify that Method's service tier and feature access match your use case before committing."},"id":"method-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/method-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/method-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/method-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"method-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library for the Method API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":257286,"position":8448,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.1"}
