Asana
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is the official Python client for Asana's REST API. Install it if you need to integrate Asana into a Python application; it is the standard choice for that purpose. Verify that the API endpoints you need are covered in the current version before committing to a large integration.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution and four lightweight runtime dependencies (certifi, python-dateutil, six, urllib3).
- Actively maintained with a recent release 66 days ago and ongoing repository activity.

What it is and what it does
Asana is a generated Python client for the Asana REST API (version 1.0), providing typed access to Asana's task management, project, user, and workspace endpoints. It wraps HTTP operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) behind a class-based API structure, handling authentication via access tokens and configuration management through an ApiClient and Configuration object.
The library is built on standard HTTP libraries (urllib3, certifi) and date handling (python-dateutil), making it a straightforward wrapper around Asana's REST interface. Typical usage involves instantiating an API class (e.g., TasksApi, UsersApi), configuring authentication, and calling methods that correspond to Asana's documented endpoints. It is intended for developers who need to automate or integrate Asana workflows into Python applications.
Use it for
- Automate task creation, updates, and deletion in Asana projects from external systems or scheduled jobs
- Query tasks and projects programmatically to build custom dashboards or reporting tools
- Sync Asana workspace data with other business systems or databases
- Build bots or integrations that respond to external events by creating or modifying Asana tasks
- Retrieve user and workspace information for access control or team management workflows
