google-cloud-runtimeconfig

What it is and what it does

This is the official Python client library for Google Cloud Runtime Configurator API, part of Google Cloud's deployment and configuration management services. It provides a programmatic interface to create, read, update, and manage runtime configurations stored in Google Cloud Platform, typically used during application deployment and runtime configuration scenarios.

The library depends only on google-cloud-core and targets current Python versions (3.10 and later). It includes standard logging support via Python's logging module, with optional environment-based or code-based configuration. Authentication requires a Google Cloud project with the Runtime Configurator API enabled and appropriate credentials set up before instantiation.

Use it for:

• Manage application configuration values stored in Google Cloud during CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
• Retrieve runtime configuration settings programmatically from deployed applications on Google Cloud
• Integrate configuration management with Google Cloud Deployment Manager for infrastructure-as-code scenarios
• Store and access environment-specific settings (feature flags, endpoints, credentials) via the Runtime Configurator API

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Python client library for Google Cloud Runtime Configurator API, enabling programmatic access to runtime configuration management on Google Cloud Platform.

Yes, if you are building on Google Cloud Platform and need programmatic access to runtime configuration management. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly with the broader Google Cloud ecosystem. No security vulnerabilities are known. Install only if you have a GCP project with Runtime Configurator enabled and authentication already configured.

Install

google-cloud-runtimeconfig on PyPI

pip install google-cloud-runtimeconfig

uv add google-cloud-runtimeconfig

poetry add google-cloud-runtimeconfig

Installing google-cloud-runtimeconfig

Before you install

Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (google-cloud-core). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-08-14 and latest release 2026-05-07. Supports current Python versions (3.10+).

License in practice

Licensed under Apache 2.0 (permissive), allowing use in most commercial and open-source projects without significant restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install google-cloud-runtimeconfig

from google.cloud import runtimeconfig

client = runtimeconfig.RuntimeConfigClient()
# Access runtime configuration via the client

Requires Python >= 3.10. Google Cloud project setup and authentication credentials must be configured before use (see project setup and auth documentation).

Verify before relying

• Specific API methods and configuration management capabilities beyond the generic client library interface
• Performance characteristics and scalability limits for managing large numbers of runtime configurations
• Integration patterns with Google Cloud Deployment Manager beyond basic API access
