nextcloudmonitor
Python wrapper around nextcloud monitor api
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need a lightweight Python interface to Nextcloud's monitor API and your Nextcloud version is compatible with the last release (June 2024). The permissive MIT license and low dependency footprint make it safe to adopt. However, verify that it works with your Nextcloud version first, since the package is dormant and may not support newer API changes. Not recommended if you need active maintenance or support.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Nextcloud admin user account and an app-specific password generated from Nextcloud security settings.
- Low install friction with a single dependency (requests).
- Dormant maintenance status—last release was 781 days ago—suggests the package is stable but receives no active development or bug fixes.

What it is and what it does
NextcloudMonitor is a Python client library that queries the Nextcloud monitor API to fetch server status, system information, and user activity metrics. It abstracts the HTTP calls to Nextcloud's monitoring endpoints behind a simple object interface, letting you access nested data like system version, active user counts, and other instance metrics through a dictionary-like structure.
The library depends only on requests and handles basic API authentication via admin credentials and app passwords. It includes error handling for API failures and supports SSL verification bypass for self-signed certificates. However, the package has been dormant for over two years, meaning it may not support recent Nextcloud API changes or receive security updates.
Use it for
- Monitor Nextcloud server health and version in automated dashboards or alerting systems.
- Track active user counts and system load metrics for capacity planning.
- Build custom admin tools that pull Nextcloud instance statistics for reporting.
- Integrate Nextcloud status checks into DevOps monitoring pipelines.
- Audit Nextcloud deployments by querying system metrics programmatically.
