# mypy-boto3-rekognition — Type annotations for boto3 Rekognition 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library for boto3's AWS Rekognition service, generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0. It provides complete type annotations for the Rekognition client, paginators, and waiters, enabling IDEs and type checkers to offer autocomplete, inline documentation, and static type validation when writing boto3 Rekognition code.

Instead of writing boto3 calls with no type information, developers can import RekognitionClient and annotate their client objects, allowing mypy, pyright, VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text to catch type errors at development time. The package is lightweight, with only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency, and supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation when calling Rekognition API methods in boto3 code.
- Catch type errors in Rekognition client calls during static analysis with mypy or pyright before deployment.
- Provide explicit type hints for paginator and waiter objects when iterating over large Rekognition result sets.
- Integrate type checking into CI/CD pipelines to validate boto3 Rekognition usage across a codebase.
- Support development in VSCode with Pylance or PyCharm with full code completion for Rekognition operations.

## Worth the install?

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

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

Yes. If you use boto3 with Rekognition and want IDE autocomplete and static type checking, this package is a straightforward install with minimal overhead. It has no security vulnerabilities, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and low friction.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-rekognition

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22 and status marked active.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for any project type.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-rekognition

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_rekognition import RekognitionClient

client: RekognitionClient = Session().client("rekognition")

Requires Python 3.9 or later; type checking requires a compatible tool such as mypy or pyright.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (issue PY-40997) have been resolved or still affect current versions.
- Exact scope of Rekognition API coverage—whether all operations, paginators, and waiters are fully annotated.
- Whether boto3 1.43.0 is a hard requirement or a compatibility target for this stub version.
