Library for Supabase Functions
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively under MIT. It directly solves the problem of calling Supabase Edge Functions from Python with minimal boilerplate. Choose it if you are already using Supabase and need a clean client library; if you are not using Supabase, it has no value.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; you must have a Supabase project URL and valid authentication credentials.
- Low friction installation with a pure-Python wheel.
- The package is actively maintained with a recent commit on 2026-08-12, and depends on three lightweight runtime libraries: httpx, strenum, and yarl.

What it is and what it does
supabase_functions is a Python client library for calling Supabase Edge Functions—serverless functions hosted on Supabase's infrastructure. It wraps HTTP invocation behind two client classes: AsyncFunctionsClient for async/await workflows and SyncFunctionsClient for blocking calls. Both accept a project URL and optional headers (typically for authentication) and expose an invoke() method to call named functions with request bodies.
The library sits on top of httpx for HTTP transport, strenum for enum handling, and yarl for URL parsing. It's designed for developers building Python applications that need to trigger Supabase serverless functions as part of their workflow—for example, payment processing, data transformation, or event-driven tasks. The synchronous variant is straightforward for scripts and simple integrations; the async variant suits high-concurrency applications.
Use it for
- Call Supabase Edge Functions from a Python backend to process payments or handle webhooks.
- Trigger serverless data transformations or cleanup tasks from a scheduled Python job.
- Invoke remote business logic from a Python CLI tool or utility without embedding it locally.
- Build a Python microservice that orchestrates multiple Supabase functions in parallel using async/await.
