akeyless

What it is and what it does

Akeyless is an auto-generated OpenAPI client for the Akeyless secrets management platform. It wraps HTTP calls to the Akeyless API, allowing Python applications to programmatically manage secrets, encryption keys, and related credentials. The package depends on standard HTTP and utility libraries (urllib3, certifi, python-dateutil, six, psutil) and is maintained actively.

The package is positioned as a direct API binding rather than a high-level abstraction, so usage typically involves instantiating an API client and calling methods that correspond to Akeyless API endpoints. It is most useful for applications that need to integrate with Akeyless infrastructure for secret retrieval, key rotation, or credential management.

Use it for:

• Retrieve secrets and API keys from Akeyless during application startup or runtime.
• Automate credential rotation and key management in CI/CD pipelines.
• Integrate Akeyless secret storage into microservices for centralized credential handling.
• Manage encryption keys and cryptographic operations through the Akeyless platform.
• Build internal tools or automation scripts that interact with Akeyless vaults.

Quickstart

pip install akeyless

import akeyless

# Create a client and call an API method
client = akeyless.ApiClient()
api_instance = akeyless.SomeApi(client)
result = api_instance.some_method()

Python version support is unspecified; verify compatibility with your environment before use.

Verify before relying

• Actual license text and terms (SPDX or raw license field is absent)
• Python version support (requires_python is unspecified)
• Documentation availability and completeness
• API coverage and feature parity with the Akeyless service
