runloop_api_client
The official Python library for the runloop API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive MIT license. The library is well-suited for developers who need programmatic access to Runloop devboxes. The dual sync/async interface and comprehensive type coverage reduce friction. Consider it if you're building tooling or automation around Runloop infrastructure.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later and a valid RUNLOOP_API_KEY environment variable or bearer token.
- Low install friction; wheel distribution.
- Active maintenance with recent release (16 days ago).

What it is and what it does
This is an official Python client library for the Runloop REST API, generated with Stainless. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous clients powered by httpx, with full type annotations for all request parameters and response fields. The library includes an object-oriented SDK layer for higher-level, Pythonic interaction with Runloop devboxes, as well as a lower-level REST API client for direct API access.
The package handles common API patterns automatically: pagination across list results, typed request/response models using Pydantic, file uploads, and error handling with specific exception types for connection failures and rate limits. It supports environment-based authentication via RUNLOOP_API_KEY and includes optional aiohttp integration for improved async concurrency performance.
Use it for
- Create and manage remote development environments (devboxes) and execute commands within them programmatically
- Build automation workflows that interact with Runloop infrastructure using typed, IDE-aware Python code
- Integrate Runloop devbox operations into async Python applications with automatic pagination and error handling
- Prototype or script against the Runloop API without manually constructing HTTP requests or parsing JSON responses
