DEPRECATED - Tools and constants shared across Apify projects.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. Do not add this package to new projects. It is abandoned, unmaintained, and superseded by the Apify SDK for Python and Apify API client. Use it only if maintaining legacy code that already depends on it and cannot refactor immediately. Expect no further updates, security patches, or support.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Package is abandoned and will receive no further updates or security patches.
- Low install friction, but the package is abandoned with no further releases or security updates planned.
- The repository is archived and importing emits a DeprecationWarning.

What it is and what it does
Apify Shared Python was a utility library that provided shared constants and helper functions across Apify's Python projects. As of its last release, the package is no longer maintained and has been superseded: its constants are now exposed directly by the Apify SDK for Python, and its API models are available through the Apify API client for Python. The signing helpers have no public replacement and were implementation details.
The package remains installable from PyPI for backward compatibility, but importing it triggers a DeprecationWarning. The repository is archived, and no further releases, bug fixes, or security updates are planned. Existing installations will continue to work, but new projects should migrate to the Apify SDK or API client packages instead.
Use it for
- Maintaining legacy code that depends on apify-shared without immediate refactoring—use only to keep existing projects running.
- Copying the signing helper functions into your own project if you depend on them.
- Understanding what constants and utilities were previously shared before migrating to the Apify SDK.
