# robocorp — Robocorp core libraries for Python automation

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 330.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Robocorp is a meta-package that consolidates five essential libraries for building Python automations: robocorp-tasks (automation framework), robocorp-log (automation-focused logging), robocorp-workitems (Control Room work data I/O), robocorp-vault (secret management), and robocorp-storage (asset storage). It exists to reduce dependency management friction by bundling these commonly-used components into a single install.

The package targets developers building unattended automation processes, particularly those integrating with Robocorp's Control Room platform. It provides a cohesive foundation for task definition, logging, data flow between automation steps, credential handling, and file/asset management—all the infrastructure typically needed in a production automation workflow.

Use it for:

- Build a multi-step unattended automation that reads input from Control Room Work Items, executes tasks, and writes results back.
- Develop an RPA bot that securely retrieves API credentials from Control Room Vault and logs execution details with automation-aware logging.
- Create a scheduled automation that manages shared assets in Control Room Asset Storage and passes data between sequential task runs.
- Set up a Python automation framework where task definitions, structured logging, and work-item handling are all available from a single dependency.
- Prototype an automation workflow locally with the same library stack used in Control Room, ensuring consistency between development and production.

## Worth the install?

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

A meta-package bundling five core Robocorp libraries—tasks, logging, work items, vault, and storage—into a single install to simplify dependency management for Python automation projects.

Yes, if you are building automations for Robocorp Control Room or need a cohesive Python automation framework with integrated logging, task management, and data/secret handling. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and bundled design make it a straightforward choice for that use case. If you only need one or two of the five libraries, installing them individually may be more appropriate.

## Install

pip install robocorp
uv add robocorp
poetry add robocorp

## Installing robocorp

Before you install: Low friction: pure Python wheel with five runtime dependencies. Active maintenance (last commit 2026-07-24) and 646 repository stars indicate ongoing support. Supports current Python versions (3.10–3.14).

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use without restriction, making it suitable for proprietary automation projects.

Quickstart:

pip install robocorp

from robocorp.tasks import task
from robocorp.log import logger

@task
def my_automation():
    logger.info("Automation started")

Requires Python 3.10 or later (< 4.0).

Verify before relying:

- Whether all five bundled libraries are always needed together or if selective installation is common.
- Performance overhead of the meta-package wrapper compared to installing individual libraries.
- Integration requirements with Robocorp Control Room (cloud service dependencies not detailed in fact sheet).
