It wraps Kraken's REST and WebSocket APIs with synchronous and asynchronous clients, custom exception handling, and a CLI tool that handles authentication in the background. The package supports public endpoints (market data, server time) and private endpoints (account balances, trading) across both Spot and Futures markets.\n\nThe SDK is built on standard async libraries (aiohttp, websockets) and includes example scripts and pytest test coverage. It is actively maintained and tested against live API endpoints. The authors explicitly disclaim responsibility for trading losses and note this is independent third-party software not endorsed by Kraken or Payward Ltd.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you are building a Kraken trading application and want a maintained, low-friction SDK with both sync and async support. Do not install if you require guaranteed official support or cannot tolerate third-party software risk\u2014this is explicitly unofficial and the authors disclaim liability for losses. Pin the version to avoid unexpected behavior on new releases, as recommended in the documentation."},"id":"python-kraken-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-kraken-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-kraken-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-kraken-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-07","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-kraken-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Command-line tool and collection of REST and websocket clients to interact with the Kraken Crypto Asset Exchange."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":131136,"position":11602,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.3.0"}
