uipath

What it is and what it does

The UiPath Python SDK is a client library and command-line tool for interacting with UiPath Cloud Platform automation services. It exposes a programmatic API to manage processes, assets, buckets, jobs, queues, and other platform resources, and provides a CLI for initializing, packaging, and publishing automation projects to the UiPath Orchestrator.

The package is designed for developers building Python-based automations or integrations with UiPath. It requires Python 3.11 or later and depends on a substantial set of runtime libraries including httpx for HTTP communication, pydantic-function-models for data validation, and uipath-core and uipath-platform for core platform functionality. The CLI workflow supports authentication, project initialization, local debugging, packaging into .nupkg format, and publishing to the cloud platform.

Use it for:

• Invoke and monitor UiPath automation processes programmatically from Python applications or scripts.
• Retrieve and manage assets (credentials, variables) stored in UiPath Cloud Platform.
• Download files from UiPath buckets or upload automation artifacts for storage.
• Query semantic contexts via the context grounding service for AI-enabled automation workflows.
• Package and deploy Python-based automation projects to UiPath Orchestrator via the CLI.
• Integrate LangGraph agents or other AI frameworks with UiPath using the SDK as the deployment bridge.

Worth the install?

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

A Python SDK and CLI for programmatic interaction with UiPath Cloud Platform services—processes, assets, buckets, jobs, queues, and more—plus tooling to package and deploy automations.

Yes, if you are developing automations for UiPath Cloud Platform and need programmatic control over processes, assets, and deployment. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides both SDK and CLI tooling. However, verify the license terms before use in commercial or restricted-distribution scenarios, and ensure your environment supports Python 3.11 or later.

Install

uipath on PyPI

pip install uipath

uv add uipath

poetry add uipath

Installing uipath

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Active maintenance with a release on 2026-08-14 and 95 repository stars. Requires Python 3.11 or later and pulls in 20 runtime dependencies including httpx, pydantic-function-models, and uipath-core.

License in practice

License treatment is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available in the package metadata. Verify the actual license terms before adopting this package in a commercial or restricted-distribution context.

Quickstart

pip install uipath

from uipath.platform import UiPath
sdk = UiPath()
job = sdk.processes.invoke(name="MyProcess", input_arguments={"param1": "value1"})

Requires Python 3.11 or later. UiPath Cloud Platform credentials (UIPATH_URL and UIPATH_ACCESS_TOKEN) must be set via environment variables or .env file.

Verify before relying

• Whether the unclear license permits commercial use, redistribution, or derivative works.
• Compatibility and stability of the 20 runtime dependencies across different Python 3.11+ patch versions.
• Performance and scalability characteristics when invoking large numbers of processes or managing high-volume job queues.
