It offers both synchronous (Parallel) and asynchronous (AsyncParallel) clients powered by httpx, with full type definitions for all request parameters and response fields using Pydantic models and TypedDicts. The library handles authentication via API key, automatic retries for transient errors (2 times by default), configurable timeouts (1 minute default), and detailed error classification (connection errors, rate limits, authentication failures, etc.).\n\nTypical usage involves instantiating a client with an API key, calling methods like client.task_run.create() with typed parameters, and receiving Pydantic response objects with helper methods for serialization. The library supports both blocking and async workflows, optional aiohttp backend for improved concurrent performance, and provides logging via the standard library logging module when PARALLEL_LOG is set to info or debug.","worth_installing":"Yes. The library is actively maintained (last commit 2 days old), has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, requires only common dependencies, and provides a well-structured, type-safe interface to the Parallel API. No known security vulnerabilities. Suitable for production use if your application needs to call the Parallel API."},"id":"parallel-web","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/parallel-web","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/parallel-web.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/parallel-web/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"parallel-web","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The official Python library for the Parallel API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2341459,"position":3124,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.0"}
