It wraps the Platform's Partition and Workflow endpoints, allowing you to send documents to the API and retrieve parsed, structured output. The SDK handles authentication, retries, error handling, and file uploads.\n\nYou use it by instantiating an UnstructuredClient, then calling methods on its resource objects (e.g., destinations, partitions) to submit documents and retrieve results. The SDK depends on httpx for HTTP transport, pydantic for data validation, and pypdf/pypdfium2 for local PDF handling. It supports custom retry strategies and detailed error reporting via UnstructuredClientError and its subclasses.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to extract structured data from unstructured documents and are willing to use a cloud API. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. Requires Python 3.11+. Verify that the free tier and API pricing fit your volume and use case before committing."},"id":"unstructured-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/unstructured-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/unstructured-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/unstructured-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"unstructured-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python Client SDK for Unstructured API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":8893676,"position":1581,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.46.1"}
