newrelic-api
A python interface to the New Relic API v2
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if your use case targets only older New Relic API endpoints that remain stable. No, if you need access to recent New Relic features or modern API resources—the package is dormant and explicitly out of sync with current API changes. Evaluate your specific New Relic resources against the supported endpoints before committing to this client; consider New Relic's official SDKs or direct HTTP calls if this package lacks your target endpoints.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid New Relic API key; check New Relic's current API documentation to confirm your target resources are supported by this outdated client.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package is dormant—last release was 2019-04-04, over 2689 days ago—and the maintainer notes it is out of sync with New Relic's latest API changes.

What it is and what it does
newrelic-api is a Python wrapper around New Relic's API v2, designed to simplify programmatic access to New Relic monitoring data and resources. It abstracts the HTTP calls and JSON parsing into pythonic method calls, allowing developers to query application performance metrics, manage alerts, and interact with other New Relic entities without writing raw HTTP requests.
The package has zero runtime dependencies and installs easily, but carries a significant caveat: it has not been actively maintained since April 2019. The maintainer explicitly states the client is out of sync with New Relic's latest API changes, and recommends submitting pull requests for unsupported or outdated resources. If you need access to recently added New Relic features or modern API endpoints, this package may not support them.
Use it for
- Retrieve application performance metrics and transaction data from New Relic for custom dashboards or reporting.
- Automate alert management and notification configuration across multiple New Relic applications.
- Export historical monitoring data for analysis or integration with other systems.
- Script routine New Relic administrative tasks like application setup or metric aggregation.
- Build monitoring workflows that query New Relic data as part of a larger automation pipeline.

Low install friction with no runtime dependencies. However, the package is dormant—last release was 2019-04-04, over 2689 days ago—and the maintainer notes it is out of sync with New Relic's latest API changes. Active use requires checking whether your target New Relic resources are still supported by this version.
