pyrabbit2
A Pythonic interface to the RabbitMQ Management HTTP API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need a lightweight Python client for RabbitMQ's HTTP Management API and are comfortable with a dormant package. The code is stable (no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, MIT license), but expect no updates—verify that it works with your RabbitMQ version before committing to it in production.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a running RabbitMQ instance with the HTTP management plugin enabled.
- Installation is straightforward with low friction—a pure-Python wheel with only requests as a runtime dependency.
- However, the package is dormant: the latest release was in January 2019, and no updates have shipped since then despite the repository remaining unarchived.

Verify before relying
pip install pyrabbit2
from pyrabbit2.api import Client
client = Client('localhost', 'guest', 'guest')
queues = client.get_queues()- Whether the package works with modern RabbitMQ versions and current Python 3.x releases beyond 3.6.

- Current test coverage and whether all documented APIs function as expected.
- Default port and authentication credentials for the RabbitMQ management API endpoint.
What it is and what it does
Pyrabbit2 is a Python wrapper around RabbitMQ's HTTP Management API, designed to let you query and manipulate RabbitMQ resources (queues, exchanges, bindings, connections) without writing HTTP boilerplate. It handles authentication, request formatting, and JSON parsing so you can work with RabbitMQ state through simple Python method calls.
The package depends only on requests and installs as a pure-Python wheel. It was first released on 2017-07-22 and last updated on 2019-01-24. The repository remains unarchived with a last commit on 2024-03-23, making it a dormant project—functional for existing use cases but unlikely to receive bug fixes or support for newer RabbitMQ features.
Use it for
- Monitor queue depths, connection counts, and message rates from Python without direct AMQP connections.
- Automate RabbitMQ administration tasks like creating queues, exchanges, and bindings programmatically.
- Build monitoring dashboards or alerting systems that query RabbitMQ state via its HTTP API.
- Integrate RabbitMQ management into deployment or orchestration scripts.
- Debug AMQP issues by inspecting broker state and message routing configuration.
