# mypy-boto3-apigateway — Type annotations for boto3 APIGateway 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.2M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information for boto3's APIGateway service. It is generated automatically from boto3 1.43.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other IDEs that support Python type hints. When installed, it enables IDE autocomplete and catches type errors during development without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is designed as a companion to boto3 itself—it does not provide runtime functionality but only type metadata. It can be installed standalone or as part of boto3-stubs (a metapackage that covers multiple AWS services). The stub includes type annotations for the APIGatewayClient, paginators, waiters, and service resource types, allowing your type checker to validate method calls and return types at development time.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and type checking for APIGateway operations in VSCode or PyCharm without manual type annotations.
- Catch APIGateway API misuse (wrong method names, incorrect argument types) before runtime using mypy or pyright.
- Provide type hints for paginator and waiter objects when iterating over large APIGateway result sets.
- Reduce development friction in teams that enforce strict type checking on boto3 code.
- Use in TYPE_CHECKING blocks to add type safety without adding a production dependency.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for boto3's APIGateway service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes. Install this if you use boto3's APIGateway service and want static type checking and IDE autocomplete. It has low install friction, no vulnerabilities, an MIT license, and is actively maintained. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stub; they can use boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative if needed.

## Install

pip install mypy-boto3-apigateway
uv add mypy-boto3-apigateway
poetry add mypy-boto3-apigateway

## Installing mypy-boto3-apigateway

Before you install: Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained as of 2026-06-22 with no known vulnerabilities.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-apigateway

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_apigateway import APIGatewayClient

client: APIGatewayClient = Session().client("apigateway")

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (issue PY-40997) remain unresolved in current versions.
- Exact compatibility matrix between this stub version (1.43.0) and different boto3 release versions beyond 1.43.0.
