# mypy-boto3-kinesis — Type annotations for boto3 Kinesis 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.9M/mo

## What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-kinesis is a type stub package that adds complete type annotations to boto3's Kinesis client, enabling static type checkers and IDEs to validate your code and provide accurate autocomplete. It's generated from boto3 1.43.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other tools that support Python type hints.

The package is designed as a development dependency—you install it in your environment to get type checking and IDE support while writing boto3 code, but it doesn't change how your code runs. It includes type annotations for the Kinesis client, paginators, waiters, and service-specific type definitions, allowing you to catch type mismatches before runtime.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for Kinesis client methods while writing AWS Lambda or data pipeline code.
- Catch type errors in Kinesis API calls (e.g., wrong argument types, missing required parameters) during development with mypy or pyright.
- Provide explicit type hints for Kinesis paginator and waiter objects to improve code clarity in large projects.
- Support type-safe refactoring of boto3 Kinesis code in PyCharm or VSCode without runtime testing.
- Document expected types for Kinesis operations in team codebases via inline type annotations.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations for boto3's Kinesis service, enabling IDE code completion and static type checking with mypy and pyright.

Yes. If you use boto3 with Kinesis and want IDE support or static type checking, this is the standard way to get it. It has no security vulnerabilities, minimal dependencies, active maintenance, and a permissive license. Install it as a development dependency (optionally behind TYPE_CHECKING) to avoid production bloat.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-kinesis

Before you install: Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel distribution, and active maintenance with a recent release.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-kinesis

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_kinesis import KinesisClient

client: KinesisClient = Session().client("kinesis")

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 (PY-40997) persist with current versions.
- Actual coverage of all Kinesis API operations and whether edge cases are fully typed.
