It provides direct programmatic access to production data\u2014assets, shots, tasks, versions, and custom fields\u2014via HTTP-based API calls, allowing developers to build integrations, automation scripts, and custom tools that read from and write to a Flow Production Tracking instance.\n\nThe package is production-stable (Development Status 5) with zero runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install and integrate into existing Python environments. It supports modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.13) and is actively maintained by Autodesk, with recent releases and a public GitHub repository. Users must provide server credentials (URL, script name, and API key) to authenticate; the library handles the HTTP communication and response parsing internally.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official, actively maintained client for Flow Production Tracking with low install friction, no external dependencies, and broad Python version support. It carries a permissive BSD license and has no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need to integrate with or automate a Flow Production Tracking instance; it is the standard choice for that use case."},"id":"shotgun-api3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/shotgun-api3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/shotgun-api3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/shotgun-api3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"shotgun-api3","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Flow Production Tracking Python API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":136693,"position":11389,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.10.3"}
