Getting Started

Python SDK

The Python SDK offers a simple, intuitive interface for interacting with the ZipTax API from scripts, data pipelines, and applications. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous usage, includes built-in error handling, and integrates naturally with common Python workflows for data engineering, ETL, and backend services. This SDK is a great fit for teams working in Databricks, AWS Lambda, FastAPI, Django, or other Python-driven environments. Use the code samples here to get started.
