TAXII 2 Client Library
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to integrate with a TAXII 2.X server and can tolerate dormancy. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, verify that your target TAXII server version is compatible and that you don't require Python versions beyond 3.9. Consider it a read-only dependency unless you actively maintain a fork or the upstream project resumes maintenance.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a live TAXII 2.X server endpoint; authentication credentials may be needed depending on server configuration.
- Low install friction with only three common runtime dependencies.
- However, the package is dormant—last release was 2021-03-12, over 1981 days ago—so expect no active maintenance or security updates.

What it is and what it does
taxii2-client is a Python library that implements a minimal client for TAXII 2.X servers, the standard protocol for sharing cyber threat intelligence. It provides four main classes—Server, ApiRoot, Collection, and Status—that let you connect to a TAXII server, browse its structure, and retrieve or submit threat intelligence objects (STIX bundles). The library handles authentication, lazy-loads server metadata, and supports both TAXII 2.0 and 2.1 API variants with pagination helpers.
You instantiate a Server object with a URL and optional credentials, then navigate through api_roots to collections and individual objects. The library caches metadata in instances to avoid repeated requests. It depends only on requests, six, and pytz, making it lightweight. However, the project is dormant—no updates since March 2021—so it may not support the latest TAXII server features or Python versions.
Use it for
- Retrieve threat indicators and malware samples from a TAXII 2.X server for local analysis
- Automate bulk collection of STIX objects from a threat intelligence platform using pagination
- Submit your organization's threat data (STIX bundles) to a shared TAXII collection
- Integrate threat intelligence feeds into a security monitoring or incident response workflow
- Query server metadata and collection capabilities to discover available threat data sources
