# stackit-objectstorage — STACKIT Object Storage API

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 75.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

stackit-objectstorage is a Python client library for the STACKIT cloud platform's Object Storage service. It wraps the STACKIT Object Storage REST API, allowing developers to manage cloud storage buckets and objects programmatically from Python code. The package is part of the broader STACKIT Python SDK and integrates with its authentication and configuration patterns.

The library uses pydantic for data validation, requests for HTTP communication, and python-dateutil for timestamp handling. It targets modern Python versions and maintains active development. Installation is straightforward via pip, though actual usage requires STACKIT platform credentials and familiarity with the SDK's authentication setup, which is documented in the GitHub repository examples.

Use it for:

- Automate provisioning and management of object storage buckets within STACKIT infrastructure.
- Build deployment scripts that create, configure, or tear down cloud storage resources.
- Integrate STACKIT Object Storage operations into Python applications or CI/CD pipelines.
- Programmatically upload, download, or list objects in STACKIT-hosted buckets.
- Manage storage lifecycle and access policies as code within STACKIT environments.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides Python bindings to the STACKIT Object Storage API, enabling programmatic management of cloud object storage resources through the STACKIT SDK.

Yes, if you are working within the STACKIT cloud ecosystem and need to manage Object Storage programmatically. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly with the STACKIT SDK. No known vulnerabilities. Install only if you have STACKIT platform access and credentials; it is not a general-purpose object storage client.

## Install

pip install stackit-objectstorage
uv add stackit-objectstorage
poetry add stackit-objectstorage

## Installing stackit-objectstorage

Before you install: Low friction installation as a pure-Python wheel. Actively maintained with a recent release and current commit activity. Depends on stable, widely-used libraries: pydantic, python-dateutil, requests, and stackit-core.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache Software License (permissive), allowing use in commercial and private projects with minimal restrictions beyond attribution and liability disclaimers.

Quickstart:

pip install stackit-objectstorage

import stackit.objectstorage
# See GitHub examples for authentication and usage patterns

Requires Python 3.10 or later. Depends on stackit-core, which must be available in your environment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether stackit-core is a public package or an internal STACKIT dependency that may require separate setup.
- What authentication mechanism or credentials are required to connect to STACKIT Object Storage.
- Whether the package supports operations beyond basic CRUD (e.g., versioning, lifecycle policies, access control).
