aiotractive
Asynchronous Python client for the Tractive REST API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own Tractive devices and need async Python access to their API. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. Be aware it is reverse-engineered (not official), in alpha status, and may break if Tractive changes their API. Not suitable if you need guaranteed API stability or comprehensive feature coverage.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires an active Tractive subscription and valid account credentials.
- Tractive may change their API at any time, potentially breaking this reverse-engineered client.
- Low install friction with pure Python dependencies (aiohttp, orjson, yarl).

What it is and what it does
aiotractive is an unofficial async Python wrapper around Tractive's REST API for pet tracking devices. It provides programmatic access to tracker status, historical positions, device control (buzzer, LED, live tracking), and real-time event streaming. The package is built on aiohttp for async I/O and includes full type hints for static analysis.
The library is in active development but not feature-complete relative to the Tractive web app. It requires an active Tractive subscription and valid credentials. Since it reverse-engineers Tractive's undocumented API, breaking changes may occur if Tractive modifies their endpoints. The project has low install friction and no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Build home automation integrations that fetch pet location and battery status from Tractive trackers
- Stream real-time tracker events to a monitoring dashboard or alerting system
- Retrieve historical position data for pet movement analysis or reporting
- Programmatically control tracker features like buzzer and LED from custom applications
- Develop bot or script that periodically checks tracker status and notifies on location changes
