smartystreets-python-sdk
An official library to help Python developers easily access the SmartyStreets APIs
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need address validation or geocoding and already use or plan to subscribe to SmartyStreets. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly with requests. If you don't have SmartyStreets credentials or need a different address service, this won't help.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires valid SmartyStreets API credentials (auth_id and auth_token) to authenticate requests.
- Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (requests).
- Active maintenance with a recent release 37 days ago and ongoing repository activity.

What it is and what it does
This is the official Python SDK for SmartyStreets, a service that validates, verifies, and geocodes street addresses. It wraps the SmartyStreets REST APIs in a Python client library, handling authentication and request/response serialization so you don't have to build HTTP calls manually. The package depends only on requests, making it lightweight to install.
The SDK is designed for developers who need to integrate address validation or geocoding into Python applications. You provide your SmartyStreets credentials, instantiate a client, and call methods to validate or look up addresses. The library handles the API communication details, letting you focus on your application logic.
Use it for
- Validate and standardize user-entered addresses in web forms or data imports before storing them.
- Geocode addresses to latitude/longitude coordinates for mapping or location-based services.
- Verify address deliverability during e-commerce checkout or shipping workflows.
- Deduplicate or clean address databases by normalizing entries through the SmartyStreets API.
- Build location intelligence features that require accurate, verified address data.
