# types-boto3-secretsmanager — Type annotations for boto3 SecretsManager 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 636.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type stub library that adds static type checking and IDE code completion for boto3's SecretsManager service. It is generated from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other type-aware tools. When installed, it allows developers to write boto3 code without explicit type annotations while still receiving full IDE autocomplete and catching type errors before runtime.

The package is a pure stub—it contains no runtime code, only type definitions. It depends only on typing-extensions and installs with minimal friction. It supports explicit type annotations for SecretsManager clients, paginators, waiters, and service resources, and can be used in TYPE_CHECKING blocks to avoid production dependencies. The package is actively maintained and compatible with Python 3.9 through 3.14.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and type checking for boto3 SecretsManager calls in VSCode or PyCharm without writing manual type hints.
- Catch SecretsManager API usage errors during static analysis with mypy or pyright before deploying to production.
- Provide explicit type annotations for SecretsManagerClient, paginators, and waiters in large codebases requiring strict typing.
- Use in TYPE_CHECKING blocks to add type safety during development while keeping the package out of production dependencies.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for boto3's SecretsManager service, enabling static type checking with mypy and pyright.

Yes. If you use boto3's SecretsManager service and want IDE autocomplete or static type checking, install this package. It has no runtime overhead, low install friction, active maintenance, MIT licensing, and zero known vulnerabilities. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with Literal overloads; consider types-boto3-lite as an alternative if that occurs.

## Install

pip install types-boto3-secretsmanager
uv add types-boto3-secretsmanager
poetry add types-boto3-secretsmanager

## Installing types-boto3-secretsmanager

Before you install: Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Active maintenance with last commit 2026-06-22. Supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for any project type.

Quickstart:

pip install types-boto3-secretsmanager

from boto3.session import Session
from types_boto3_secretsmanager import SecretsManagerClient

client: SecretsManagerClient = Session().client("secretsmanager")

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately as a runtime dependency.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed.
- Real-world type coverage completeness for all SecretsManager API operations and edge cases.
