stackit-core
Core functionality for the STACKIT SDK for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are using other STACKIT service packages (stackit-redis, stackit-iaas, etc.). stackit-core is a required dependency for all service clients and handles the authentication and configuration layer. Install it as part of a service package rather than standalone, unless you are developing custom integrations.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; service account credentials (key or token) needed for authentication.
- Low install friction with 5 standard runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained with a release 25 days ago; repository shows recent activity and is not archived.

Verify before relying
pip install stackit-core
from stackit.core.configuration import Configuration
config = Configuration(
service_account_key_path="/path/to/sa_key.json"
)
# Use config with service clients from other stackit packages- Whether stackit-core alone is useful without installing a specific service package (redis, iaas, etc.)
- Whether the SDK's custom endpoint feature works as documented in production environments
What it is and what it does
stackit-core is the foundational package for the STACKIT Python SDK, a client library for interacting with STACKIT cloud services. It handles authentication (key flow and token flow), configuration management, and provides shared REST client functionality that service-specific packages depend on. The package is in beta and actively developed.
The core module manages credential discovery from multiple sources (explicit configuration, environment variables, or a credentials file), supports RSA-based key authentication and token-based flows, and allows custom endpoint configuration for different STACKIT environments. It depends on cryptography, pydantic, pyjwt, requests, and urllib3 to handle secure communication and credential validation.
Use it for
- Set up centralized authentication configuration for multiple STACKIT service clients in a single application.
- Implement custom retry logic or proxy settings by extending the SDK's configuration options.
- Authenticate to STACKIT services using service account keys stored in JSON files or environment variables.
- Connect to custom or non-standard STACKIT endpoints by configuring custom token and API endpoints.
