# kuksa-client — KUKSA Python Client and SDK

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 102.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

KUKSA Python SDK is a client library and command-line tool for the Eclipse KUKSA project, designed to interact with vehicle data infrastructure. It provides both a standalone library for programmatic access and a CLI for direct interaction with KUKSA Server or KUKSA Databroker instances over gRPC. The package depends on websockets, cmd2, pygments, grpcio-tools, protobuf, and jsonpath-ng to handle protocol communication, command-line interface rendering, and data serialization.

The SDK is intended for developers building automotive applications or services that need to read or write vehicle signals and data through a standardized broker interface. It supports modern Python versions (3.8+) and is classified as production-stable, with active maintenance and no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

- Build a vehicle telemetry dashboard that reads real-time signals from a KUKSA Databroker
- Develop a diagnostic tool that queries vehicle state and parameters via the CLI
- Integrate vehicle data access into an automotive backend service using the library API
- Test KUKSA Server or Databroker deployments with a command-line client
- Prototype vehicle-to-cloud data pipelines with gRPC-based communication

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

KUKSA Python SDK provides a client library and CLI tool to communicate with KUKSA Server or KUKSA Databroker over gRPC, enabling interaction with vehicle data and services.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive license, and offers low install friction. It is suitable for developers working with Eclipse KUKSA infrastructure who need either a CLI tool or a programmatic client to access vehicle data. The production-stable classifier and recent release cycle support production use.

## Install

pip install kuksa-client
uv add kuksa-client
poetry add kuksa-client

## Installing kuksa-client

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. Actively maintained with a recent release 28 days ago and ongoing repository activity.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use, modification, and redistribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for most projects.

Quickstart:

pip install kuksa-client

from kuksa_client import KuksaClientV1

client = KuksaClientV1()
await client.connect('grpc://127.0.0.1:55555')

Requires Python 3.8 or later; gRPC communication requires a running KUKSA Server or Databroker instance.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the library supports both WebSocket and gRPC transports, or gRPC only
- Authentication and TLS configuration options and their complexity
- Performance characteristics and scalability limits for high-frequency data access
