Python SDK for the Neon API

What you will learn:

  • What is the Neon Python SDK

  • Basic usage

  • Where to find the docs

  • Supported methods

About the SDK

Neon supports the neon-api - Python client for the Neon API, a wrapper for the Neon API. This SDK simplifies integration of Python applications with the Neon platform, providing methods to programmatically manage API keys, Neon projects, branches, databases, endpoints, roles, and operations.

Installation

Installation of neon_api is easy, with pip:

$ pip install neon-api

Usage

from neon_api import NeonAPI

# Initialize the client.
neon = NeonAPI(api_key='your_api_key')

Documentation

Documentation for the neon-api - Python SDK, including a Quickstart, can be found on Read the Docs. See neon-api — Python client for the Neon API.
