# python-zaqarclient — Client Library for OpenStack Zaqar Messaging API

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 78.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Python-zaqarclient is a client library for OpenStack's Zaqar messaging service, offering both a Python API and a command-line interface. It wraps the Zaqar v2.0 API and integrates as a plugin to the OpenStack Client, allowing developers and operators to manage message queues programmatically or via CLI commands like queue creation, deletion, and listing.

The package depends on keystoneauth1 for authentication, osc-lib for CLI integration, and several oslo libraries for logging and utilities. It targets OpenStack environments where Zaqar is deployed and is intended for developers, system administrators, and IT operators managing messaging infrastructure.

Use it for:

- Automate queue creation and management in OpenStack Zaqar deployments via Python scripts.
- Integrate Zaqar messaging into OpenStack-based applications using the programmatic API.
- Perform queue operations from the command line using the OpenStack Client plugin.
- Build infrastructure-as-code tooling for OpenStack messaging services.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Python client library for the OpenStack Zaqar messaging API, providing programmatic queue operations and a command-line interface plugin for the OpenStack Client.

Yes, if you are working with OpenStack Zaqar. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. It is the standard client for Zaqar and integrates cleanly into OpenStack tooling. Not relevant outside OpenStack environments.

## Install

pip install python-zaqarclient
uv add python-zaqarclient
poetry add python-zaqarclient

## Installing python-zaqarclient

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Actively maintained with a release within the last 44 days. Supports current Python versions (3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14).

License in practice: Licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0 (permissive). No restrictions on commercial or private use.

Quickstart:

pip install python-zaqarclient

from zaqarclient.queues import client

# Requires OpenStack credentials and Zaqar endpoint configuration
zaqar_client = client.Client(endpoint='http://zaqar-endpoint')

Requires OpenStack Keystone credentials and a running Zaqar service endpoint; typically used within an OpenStack environment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether keystoneauth1 and osc-lib dependencies are already present in typical OpenStack environments, reducing practical install complexity.
- Scope and maturity of the Zaqar v2.0 API coverage this client provides relative to the full Zaqar service.
- Specific authentication flow and configuration steps required to connect to a Zaqar endpoint.
