LUSID API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are a LUSID customer or integrator. The SDK is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. However, confirm that your use case aligns with the early-access and experimental status of many endpoints, and ensure you have valid LUSID credentials before attempting to use it.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Valid LUSID API credentials and account access are required; the SDK will not function without proper authentication configuration.
- Low install friction with a wheel distribution.
- Active maintenance as of 2026-08-14 with recent releases.

What it is and what it does
lusid-sdk is an auto-generated Python client for LUSID, a financial data and portfolio management platform. It wraps the LUSID REST API, exposing endpoints for creating and managing portfolios, accounting records (Abors), valuations, returns calculations, and address key definitions. The SDK uses standard HTTP libraries (requests, aiohttp, urllib3) and data validation (pydantic) to handle API communication and response parsing.
The package is maintained by Finbourne and released frequently. It targets Python 3.11 and later, and includes support for both synchronous and asynchronous workflows through its aiohttp dependency. Many endpoints are marked early-access or experimental, indicating they may change. The SDK is suitable for applications that need to integrate LUSID data or operations into Python workflows, such as portfolio analytics, reporting, or automation.
Use it for
- Retrieve portfolio valuations and trial balances from LUSID for reporting or analysis
- Automate portfolio creation and management operations via the LUSID API
- Calculate aggregated returns for portfolios or entities stored in LUSID
- Manage accounting diary entries and close/reopen accounting periods programmatically
- Build Python applications that query LUSID's address key definitions and aliases
