stackit-core

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.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides core authentication, configuration, and shared REST client functionality for the STACKIT Python SDK service packages.

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.

Install

stackit-core on PyPI

pip install stackit-core

uv add stackit-core

poetry add stackit-core

Quickstart

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

Requires Python 3.10 or later; service account credentials (key or token) needed for authentication.

Verify before relying

• 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
