# alibabacloud-actiontrail20200706 — Alibaba Cloud ActionTrail (20200706) SDK Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 111.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is an official Alibaba Cloud SDK that wraps the ActionTrail service API, allowing Python developers to programmatically access audit logs and event history for Alibaba Cloud resources. ActionTrail records API calls and resource changes across your cloud account, and this SDK provides the client library to query and manage those audit records.

The package is built on top of alibabacloud-tea-openapi and darabonba-core, which handle the underlying HTTP communication and request/response serialization. It's actively maintained, supports Python 3.7 through 3.12, and carries a permissive Apache 2.0 license. Installation is straightforward with no complex system dependencies.

Use it for:

- Query audit logs to track who performed what actions on cloud resources and when.
- Integrate compliance and security monitoring workflows that need to pull ActionTrail events programmatically.
- Automate investigation of resource changes by fetching audit records for specific time ranges or resource types.
- Build internal dashboards or reports that consume ActionTrail data via the SDK.
