It handles multiple authentication flows (username/password, OAuth2, access tokens) and supports both production and sandbox environments. The core use is managing Salesforce records\u2014inserting, updating, upserting, deleting, and querying Contact, Account, and other SObjects\u2014plus bulk operations for batch processing and metadata inspection.\n\nThe library depends on requests for HTTP communication, xmltodict for SOAP payload parsing, and url-normalize for URL handling. It abstracts away pagination automatically for queries and provides both eager and lazy (iterator) query modes. The package is permissively licensed (MIT) and has been in development since 2019, though recent maintenance appears limited.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package offers a straightforward wrapper around Salesforce APIs and is permissively licensed. However, high install friction, aging maintenance (221 days since last release), and modest adoption (37 stars) suggest it may not be actively developed. Install if you need a lightweight, low-dependency Salesforce client and are comfortable maintaining it yourself; consider alternatives if you require active support or cutting-edge API coverage."},"id":"salesforce-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/salesforce-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/salesforce-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/salesforce-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"salesforce-api","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Salesforce API wrapper"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":203229,"position":9633,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.46"}
