Transport classes and utilities shared among Python Elastic client libraries

This library was lifted from elasticsearch-py and then transformed to be used across all Elastic services rather than only Elasticsearch.

Installing from PyPI

$ python -m pip install elastic-transport

Versioning follows the major and minor version of the Elastic Stack version and the patch number is incremented for bug fixes within a minor release.

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides shared transport classes and utilities for Python Elastic client libraries, handling HTTP communication with Elastic services.

Low friction install with three lightweight runtime dependencies (urllib3, certifi, sniffio). Active maintenance with a recent release 58 days ago and commits through July 2026.

Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Usage

pip install elastic-transport

from elastic_transport import Transport
transport = Transport([{"scheme": "https", "host": "localhost"}])

Requires Python 3.10 or later; urllib3, certifi, and sniffio must be available at runtime.

Verdict: A stable, actively maintained transport layer for Elastic clients with permissive licensing, low install friction, and no known vulnerabilities. Suitable for production use as a dependency of Elastic Python libraries.

Needs verification

Whether this package is intended for direct use or primarily as a transitive dependency of elasticsearch-py and other Elastic clients.
Performance characteristics and connection pooling behavior under high-concurrency scenarios.
