Salesforce-FuelSDK-Sans
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Fuel SDK for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. The package is suitable for integrating Salesforce Marketing Cloud into Python applications and has low install friction. However, the aging maintenance status (no updates in 1516 days, minimal repository activity) and lack of recent compatibility verification with current Salesforce endpoints mean you should verify that the SDK's authentication and API endpoints align with your target Marketing Cloud environment before committing to production use. No known security vulnerabilities are reported.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires FUELSDK_CLIENT_ID and FUELSDK_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables or a config.python file in ~/.fuelsdk/ or the module directory; WSDL file path must be configured for SOAP operations.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Maintenance is aging—last release was 1516 days ago and the repository shows minimal activity (3 stars, last commit 2025-07-16), though it remains unarchived and the fork was created to maintain the original unmaintained project.

What it is and what it does
Salesforce-FuelSDK-Sans is a maintained fork of the original Salesforce Marketing Cloud Fuel SDK for Python, providing access to both REST and SOAP APIs for Salesforce Marketing Cloud services. It wraps the Fuel API Family behind a Python object model, exposing Marketing Cloud functionality through common collection types. The package supports multiple authentication modes including OAuth2 (with refresh token and web/public app support) and legacy authentication, allowing developers to interact with Marketing Cloud resources like lists, subscribers, and campaigns.
The SDK depends on PyJWT for token handling, requests for HTTP communication, and suds-community for SOAP operations. Configuration is handled through environment variables or a config file, with support for multiple Salesforce service endpoints (production, sandbox, and tenant-specific). The package is classified as Beta and requires Python 3 or later, though it has not received updates since its initial release in June 2022.
Use it for
- Integrate Salesforce Marketing Cloud subscriber and list management into Python applications via REST API.
- Automate campaign creation, scheduling, and monitoring using the Fuel SDK's object-oriented interface.
- Retrieve and update Marketing Cloud data (contacts, segments, journeys) programmatically with OAuth2 authentication.
- Build server-side applications that interact with Marketing Cloud SOAP endpoints for legacy system integration.
- Implement web or public app authentication flows to allow end-user access to Marketing Cloud resources.
