# anomalo — Python bindings for the Anomalo API

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 137.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Anomalo is a Python client library that wraps the Anomalo REST API, providing both programmatic and command-line access to data quality monitoring and anomaly detection features. It depends on standard HTTP and serialization libraries (requests, pyyaml, dataclasses-json) plus tenacity for retry logic and fire for CLI scaffolding, making it straightforward to integrate into existing Python workflows.

The package is designed for teams using the Anomalo service who want to automate data quality checks, query detection results, or embed anomaly detection into larger data pipelines. It supports current Python versions (3.9+) and has been actively maintained, with no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

- Monitor data quality in production pipelines by querying anomaly detection results via the REST API.
- Automate data validation checks as part of a CI/CD workflow using the command-line interface.
- Integrate Anomalo's anomaly detection into Python applications that need real-time data quality insights.
- Build dashboards or reporting tools that consume anomaly detection data from the Anomalo service.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a Python client library and command-line interface to interact with the Anomalo API for data quality monitoring and anomaly detection.

Yes, if you are using the Anomalo service and need programmatic or CLI access to its API. The package has low install friction, permissive licensing, active maintenance, and no security issues. Install only if you have an Anomalo account and understand that the package's utility depends entirely on your access to the Anomalo service.

## Install

pip install anomalo
uv add anomalo
poetry add anomalo

## Installing anomalo

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and a modest dependency footprint of 7 runtime packages. Actively maintained as of the latest release.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing use in commercial and open-source projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install anomalo

import anomalo
# Use the client to interact with the Anomalo API
# (specific usage depends on your Anomalo service configuration)

Requires Python 3.9 or later; API credentials for the Anomalo service are likely required but not detailed in the fact sheet.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package requires API credentials or authentication setup beyond what the fact sheet indicates
- What specific data quality checks or anomaly detection methods the Anomalo service provides
- Whether the CLI tool has built-in help or documentation accessible via --help
