# recurly — Recurly v4

License: unclear · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 220.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Recurly is the official Python client for Recurly's V3 API, a subscription and billing management platform. It provides a programmatic interface to manage subscriptions, accounts, invoices, and other billing operations without building HTTP requests manually. The library is maintained by Recurly and integrates directly with their production API.

The package has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install and deploy. It is actively maintained with recent releases and no known security vulnerabilities. The library's primary use is integrating Recurly's billing platform into Python applications—handling subscription lifecycle, payment processing, and account management through a client object.

Use it for:

- Automate subscription creation, updates, and cancellations in a SaaS application.
- Retrieve and process invoice data for accounting or reporting workflows.
- Manage customer accounts and billing information programmatically.
- Build billing dashboards or admin panels that sync with Recurly.
- Handle subscription renewals and payment events via API calls.
