It provides both synchronous and asynchronous clients powered by httpx, with full type annotations for all request parameters and response fields using Pydantic models and TypedDicts. The library handles common REST patterns including auto-pagination, file uploads, nested parameters, and comprehensive error handling with automatic retries for transient failures.\n\nDevelopers use it to integrate Steel API functionality into Python applications without manually constructing HTTP requests. The library supports modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.14), offers editor autocomplete and type checking, and can optionally use aiohttp as an HTTP backend for improved async concurrency. Configuration is simple\u2014credentials are typically loaded from environment variables\u2014and the API surface mirrors the REST documentation.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and comprehensive type support. Install it if you need to call the Steel API from Python; the typed interface and async support make it substantially easier than raw HTTP requests. Verify that your use case aligns with Steel's service offerings before committing."},"id":"steel-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/steel-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/steel-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/steel-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"steel-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The official Python library for the steel API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":154533,"position":10851,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.19.0"}
