A mattermost api v4 wrapper to interact with api
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already using this package. The project is abandoned (last commit 2020-02-18), making compatibility with current Mattermost versions and Python environments highly uncertain. Before installing, verify that it works with your Mattermost version and check whether an actively maintained alternative exists. The permissive MIT license removes legal friction, but technical risk is substantial.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a running Mattermost server with v4 API available and valid credentials; no Python version requirement is specified in the package metadata.
- Installation friction is high and maintenance is a concern: the package was last updated on 2020-02-17 and has not received commits since then, with the repository marked as abandoned.
- It has no runtime dependencies, but the lack of recent activity means compatibility with current Mattermost versions and modern Python environments is uncertain.

What it is and what it does
mattermostwrapper is a thin Python client for the Mattermost v4 REST API. It handles authentication and provides methods to query teams, list channels, and post messages to a Mattermost server. The package was designed primarily for bot automation and scripting tasks that need to interact with Mattermost programmatically.
The wrapper is lightweight—it has no external runtime dependencies—and exposes the Mattermost API through simple Python methods. However, the project has been abandoned since early 2020, with no commits or releases in over four years. This means it may not be compatible with recent Mattermost versions, newer Python releases, or current security practices, and you should verify compatibility with your specific Mattermost deployment before relying on it for production use.
Use it for
- Build a bot that automatically posts notifications or alerts to Mattermost channels
- Retrieve team and channel information from Mattermost for reporting or integration purposes
- Automate message posting to specific channels as part of a larger workflow or monitoring system
- Script one-off administrative tasks like bulk channel queries or message archival
