Yes, with a caveat on license clarity. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, supports current Python versions, and carries no known vulnerabilities. It is a solid choice for programmatic Cloud Foundry platform interaction. However, verify the actual license terms in the repository before use in proprietary contexts, since the package metadata does not declare a license.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; credentials or tokens needed to authenticate with a Cloud Foundry platform endpoint.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained with a release within the last month and recent commits.

What it is and what it does
cloudfoundry-client is a Python library that wraps the Cloud Foundry REST API, allowing developers to programmatically interact with Cloud Foundry platforms—querying organizations, spaces, applications, services, and other platform entities. It supports both API V2 (legacy) and V3 (current) endpoints, with entity objects that can navigate relationships directly (e.g., calling `organization.spaces()` to fetch related spaces). The library handles authentication via user credentials, refresh tokens, or OAuth code flow, and manages token lifecycle automatically.
The package depends on aiohttp, requests, websocket-client, oauth2-client, polling2, PyYAML, and protobuf to provide HTTP communication, async support, and token management. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10+), and has no known security vulnerabilities. Installation is straightforward via pip with low friction.
Use it for
- Automate Cloud Foundry platform administration tasks—creating spaces, managing security groups, or deploying applications programmatically.
- Build monitoring or observability tools that query app instances, events, and service bindings from a Cloud Foundry platform.
- Integrate Cloud Foundry deployments into CI/CD pipelines to start, stop, or update applications without shell scripting.
- Develop custom dashboards or reporting tools that aggregate data from organizations, spaces, and service instances.
- Migrate or synchronize applications and configurations across multiple Cloud Foundry environments.
