types-aiobotocore-kinesis

What it is and what it does

This package is a type stub library that adds static type information to aiobotocore's Kinesis client, enabling IDE autocompletion and type checking without requiring explicit annotations in your code. It was generated from aiobotocore 3.9.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and supports all major Python type checkers and IDEs including VSCode, PyCharm, mypy, and pyright.

When installed, it allows you to write async Kinesis code with full type safety: your IDE will suggest available methods and parameters, and type checkers will catch errors before runtime. The package includes annotations for the Kinesis client, paginators, and waiters. It can be installed standalone or as part of the broader types-aiobotocore package, and is designed as a development-only dependency (safe to exclude from production via TYPE_CHECKING guards).

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocompletion and type hints when writing async Kinesis code with aiobotocore in VSCode or PyCharm.
• Catch type errors in Kinesis client calls during development using mypy or pyright before deployment.
• Annotate Kinesis paginator and waiter usage with explicit types for better code clarity and IDE support.
• Use in a development environment while keeping the package out of production dependencies via TYPE_CHECKING.
• Migrate from synchronous boto3 to async aiobotocore while maintaining type safety across Kinesis operations.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for aiobotocore's Kinesis service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use aiobotocore for Kinesis. It has low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive MIT license. The only caveat: PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full variant and should consider the lite version instead. For most projects using aiobotocore with type checkers or modern IDEs, this is a straightforward win.

Install

types-aiobotocore-kinesis on PyPI

pip install types-aiobotocore-kinesis

uv add types-aiobotocore-kinesis

poetry add types-aiobotocore-kinesis

Installing types-aiobotocore-kinesis

Before you install

Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Released 12 days ago with active maintenance; the repository has 670 stars and was last updated 2026-06-22.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart

pip install types-aiobotocore-kinesis

from aiobotocore.session import get_session
from types_aiobotocore_kinesis import KinesisClient

session = get_session()
async with session.create_client("kinesis") as client:
    client: KinesisClient

Requires aiobotocore 3.9.0 to be installed separately; Python 3.9 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm's reported performance issue (PY-40997) with Literal overloads remains unresolved in current PyCharm versions.
• Whether the lite variant (types-aiobotocore-lite) is recommended for production environments due to RAM constraints.
