It provides a connection abstraction that handles authentication via personal access tokens and exposes client objects for different Azure DevOps domains\u2014core, work items, builds, and more. You establish a connection with your organization URL and credentials, then retrieve domain-specific clients to make API calls.\n\nThe package is designed as a thin wrapper, meaning it closely mirrors the REST API structure rather than providing high-level abstractions. It depends on msrest for HTTP authentication and request handling. The library was originally built to power the Azure DevOps Extension for Azure CLI, though its maintenance status is unclear given the long gap since the last release in January 2019.","worth_installing":"Yes, with caution. The package works for basic Azure DevOps API access and has low install friction, but its aging status (last release January 2019) and targeting of end-of-life Python versions raise compatibility concerns. Before adopting, verify that it remains compatible with your Python version and current APIs, and check whether newer official alternatives exist. Suitable for legacy integrations or when newer options are unavailable."},"id":"vsts","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vsts","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vsts.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vsts/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-01-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"vsts","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python wrapper around the VSTS APIs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92870,"position":13417,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.25"}
