It provides both synchronous and asynchronous clients built on httpx, with full type hints via Pydantic, and supports chat operations with text and multimodal content (video and text together). The library handles authentication via API key, includes automatic retries with exponential backoff for transient failures, and offers streaming responses for long-running chat completions.\n\nThe package depends on httpx, httpx-sse, pydantic, requests, and urllib3 for HTTP transport and serialization. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.12 and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. A legacy v2 API is also available for backward compatibility with earlier SDK versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively using the Reka API and need a Python client. The library is well-structured with good type support and low install friction. However, the 683-day maintenance gap raises a red flag: verify that Reka's API service is still actively supported and that this SDK will receive updates if the API changes. If you need active maintenance guarantees, contact Reka or assess the risk of a stalled SDK before committing to production use."},"id":"reka-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/reka-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/reka-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/reka-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"reka-api","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Reka Python SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":77718,"position":14503,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.0"}
