reportportal-client
Python client for ReportPortal v5.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are using ReportPortal for test reporting and need to integrate a test framework or custom runner not covered by existing agents. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. However, if you are using PyTest, Robot Framework, or Behave, use the framework-specific agent instead of this library directly.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a running ReportPortal instance and valid API credentials (endpoint, project name, and API key).
- Low friction installation with standard dependencies (requests, aiohttp, certifi, typing-extensions).
- The package is actively maintained with a recent release and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
ReportPortal Client is a Python library that integrates test execution with ReportPortal, a centralized test reporting and analytics platform. It provides an API to send test results, logs, and attachments (screenshots, files) to ReportPortal in real time. The library handles the communication with ReportPortal's backend, managing launch sessions, test items, and log entries through a client object that queues and uploads data asynchronously.
The package is designed primarily as a foundation for framework-specific agents (PyTest, Robot Framework, Behave) rather than for standalone use, though the description excerpt shows it can be used directly. It depends on requests for HTTP communication, aiohttp for async operations, certifi for SSL certificate validation, and typing-extensions for type hints. The client runs an internal thread to handle log uploads, requiring explicit termination to ensure all pending requests are processed.
Use it for
- Integrate test execution results into ReportPortal from custom test runners or frameworks not covered by existing agents.
- Attach screenshots and diagnostic files to test reports for failure analysis and debugging.
- Build a custom test listener that sends real-time test progress and logs to a centralized ReportPortal instance.
- Log test execution metadata (parameters, attributes, tags) alongside test results for analytics and filtering.
- Implement test result reporting in CI/CD pipelines that use non-standard test frameworks.
