miniopy-async
Asynchronous MinIO Client SDK for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, has low install friction, and is the natural choice for async MinIO access in Python. Use it if you need non-blocking object storage in an async application; skip it only if you require synchronous I/O or have no MinIO/S3-compatible backend.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later (supports 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13).
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with five runtime dependencies (aiohttp, certifi, aiohttp-retry, argon2-cffi, pycryptodome).
- Active maintenance—last commit 2026-03-31, status marked active, no reported vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
miniopy-async is an asynchronous Python SDK for MinIO, an S3-compatible object storage system. It wraps MinIO operations—uploads, downloads, bucket management, presigned URLs—in async/await patterns, allowing non-blocking I/O in event-driven applications. The client depends on aiohttp for HTTP transport, certifi for SSL certificates, aiohttp-retry for resilience, argon2-cffi for password hashing, and pycryptodome for cryptographic operations.
You instantiate a Minio client with endpoint, credentials, and SSL settings, then use async context managers and await calls to interact with buckets and objects. The package is marked Production/Stable, actively maintained, and supports current Python versions (3.10–3.13). It carries no known vulnerabilities and is licensed under Apache-2.0, making it suitable for commercial projects.
Use it for
- Build async web services (e.g., Sanic, FastAPI) that upload or download files from MinIO without blocking request handlers.
- Generate presigned URLs for temporary object access in async workflows.
- Manage object metadata and bucket operations in event-driven applications.
- Integrate MinIO storage into async data pipelines or background job systems.
- Replace synchronous S3 clients in async codebases targeting MinIO or S3-compatible endpoints.
