aliyun-python-sdk-sts
The sts module of Aliyun Python sdk.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using Aliyun cloud services and need to manage temporary credentials. The package is stable, permissively licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. However, the aging maintenance status (410 days since last release) means you should verify that it meets your current security and API requirements before adopting it in new projects.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires aliyun-python-sdk-core as a runtime dependency; Aliyun credentials (access key ID and secret) must be configured to authenticate with services.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency.
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 410 days ago—so expect slower response to issues, though the package remains functional.

What it is and what it does
This package is the official Aliyun Python SDK module for Security Token Service (STS), which handles temporary credential generation on Aliyun cloud. It integrates with aliyun-python-sdk-core to provide a unified interface for requesting short-lived security tokens and managing access to Aliyun resources.
Developers use it to build applications that need temporary, scoped credentials instead of long-lived access keys—a common pattern in cloud security. The package supports Python 3.7 and later and is maintained as part of Aliyun's official SDK ecosystem, though its aging status suggests infrequent updates. It is most useful for applications already committed to Aliyun infrastructure.
Use it for
- Request temporary security credentials for delegated access to Aliyun resources without exposing long-lived keys.
- Build applications where temporary, scoped credentials are needed for time-limited access to Aliyun services.
- Integrate STS into deployment pipelines to generate ephemeral credentials for automated processes.
- Support multi-tenant scenarios requiring isolated, time-limited credentials for different application components.
