A tool for generating OIDC identity tokens by automatically detecting and retrieving credentials from supported environments like GitHub Actions, GitLab, Google Cloud, Buildkite, and CircleCI.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (urllib3). Active maintenance with recent releases; last commit 2026-08-02 and latest release 2026-02-04 indicate ongoing development.

Licensed under Apache 2.0 (permissive), allowing both commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; suitable for most integration scenarios.

Usage

pip install id

from id import detect_credential
token = detect_credential(audience='my-service')
print(token)

Requires Python 3.9 or newer; must run in a supported environment (GitHub Actions, Google Cloud, GitLab, Buildkite, or CircleCI) or provide OIDC token via environment variable.

Verdict: Production-ready OIDC credential tool with low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and zero known vulnerabilities. Well-suited for CI/CD pipelines and workload identity scenarios across major cloud and CI platforms.
