Official Python interface for the Lokalise API v2
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. Install it if you need to integrate Lokalise translation management into Python applications or automation workflows. The Python 3.10+ requirement is a hard constraint worth checking before adoption.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or above.
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (requests and exceptiongroup).
- Active maintenance with a recent release 23 days ago and ongoing repository activity.

What it is and what it does
This is the official Python interface to Lokalise's REST API v2, a service for managing translation projects and localization workflows. It wraps HTTP requests to the Lokalise backend and returns structured Python objects representing projects, translation keys, and file upload operations, eliminating the need to parse raw JSON responses manually.
You authenticate with an API token or OAuth 2 credentials, then instantiate a client and call methods like project(), keys(), and upload_file() to interact with your translation data. The library handles serialization and deserialization, making it natural to work with Lokalise resources as Python objects rather than dictionaries.
Use it for
- Automate bulk uploads of translation files to Lokalise projects from a CI/CD pipeline.
- Retrieve and iterate over translation keys programmatically to sync with external localization systems.
- Build a custom dashboard or reporting tool that queries project metadata and translation statistics.
- Manage multiple Lokalise projects and their settings via Python scripts instead of the web UI.
