types-botocore
Proxy package for botocore-stubs
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use botocore and want IDE type support or static type checking. Installation is frictionless and the package is actively maintained. However, verify whether direct installation of botocore-stubs is now the recommended path, as this is explicitly a proxy package.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low friction installation as a pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency on botocore-stubs.
- The package is actively maintained with recent commits and stable production status.

What it is and what it does
types-botocore is a proxy package that delivers type annotations for botocore, enabling static type checking and IDE autocompletion. It works by depending on botocore-stubs, which contains the actual type stub files. When installed, it allows tools like mypy and pyright to understand botocore's API surface and provide real-time code completion and type validation.
The package is designed as a drop-in enhancement—you use botocore normally without explicit type annotations, and the type checker automatically discovers types for client calls, resource operations, waiters, and paginators. Type information is extracted from documentation and processed for readability.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for botocore client calls without manual type hints
- Run mypy or pyright on infrastructure code to catch type errors before deployment
- Provide type safety for serverless code that uses botocore for AWS service interactions
- Support development workflows with LSP-based type checking for botocore operations
