Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use boto3 WAF and want static type checking or IDE autocomplete. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. The package has no known vulnerabilities and is widely used. Install as part of boto3-stubs[waf] for convenience, or standalone if you prefer granular control.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions.
- Package is actively maintained with recent releases and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's WAF service client. It was generated from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text. When installed, it enables IDE autocomplete and type checking for WAF API calls without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.
The package provides type definitions for WAFClient, paginators, and service-specific types like GetRateBasedRuleManagedKeysPaginator and ListRulesPaginator. It has a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions and is marked as Stubs Only, meaning it contains only type information and does not execute any code at runtime. The package supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocomplete and parameter hints when writing boto3 WAF client code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch type errors in WAF API calls before runtime using mypy or pyright in CI/CD pipelines.
- Document WAF API method signatures and return types for team members using type-aware editors.
- Use explicit type annotations for WAFClient variables to make code more readable and maintainable.
- Integrate type checking into Emacs or Sublime Text workflows via LSP and pyright.
