It maps API responses to Python objects and provides methods for calculating sales tax on orders, managing transaction records (orders and refunds), handling customer data, validating addresses, and retrieving tax rates by jurisdiction. The package depends on requests for HTTP communication and jsonobject for mapping JSON responses to Python objects.\n\nYou instantiate a client with your TaxJar API key and call methods like tax_for_order() to compute tax liability, list_orders() to retrieve past transactions, or rates_for_location() to look up tax rates by postal code. The library handles authentication and request formatting automatically, returning structured Python objects rather than raw JSON.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to integrate with TaxJar's API and accept its aging maintenance status. The package is stable (Production/Stable classifier), has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, the last commit was 487 days ago\u2014verify that it still works reliably with current TaxJar API endpoints before relying on it in production. If active maintenance is a priority, check whether TaxJar or the community have released a more recent fork."},"id":"taxjar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/taxjar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/taxjar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/taxjar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"taxjar","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Sales tax API client for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":133535,"position":11507,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.1"}
