It provides authenticated connections to the server's REST API, allowing you to browse music libraries, search for tracks and artists, control playback on multiple players, manage queues, and subscribe to real-time server events. The library handles authentication via long-lived tokens (recommended for production) or temporary access tokens, with automatic schema version detection for backward compatibility with older servers that don't require authentication.\n\nThe client is built on aiohttp for async HTTP communication and uses orjson for efficient JSON parsing. It exposes controllers for authentication management, music library operations, player control, queue management, and server configuration. It supports both HTTP and HTTPS connections, including custom SSL contexts for self-signed certificates. The library is actively maintained and targets modern Python versions (3.12+), making it suitable for building music control applications, home automation integrations, or remote management tools.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. Install it if you need to programmatically control a Music Assistant Server instance from Python\u2014particularly for automation, dashboards, or multi-player coordination. Ensure your Music Assistant Server is running and you have a valid authentication token before connecting."},"id":"music-assistant-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/music-assistant-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/music-assistant-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/music-assistant-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"music-assistant-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Music Assistant Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":207526,"position":9548,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.0"}
