Announcing the Python Datastore SDK and HTTP API documentation

Python SDK Lands for the Datastore API

The Datastore API left beta last month with support for iOS, Android, and JavaScript. That coverage now extends to server-side and desktop applications with the release of an open-source (MIT-licensed) Python SDK. Alongside it, Dropbox has published full documentation for the HTTP API that underpins every datastore SDK, opening the door for developers to build their own clients in other languages, such as Ruby.

The Python SDK is currently in beta, though no major changes are anticipated before the stable release. A dedicated Python datastores tutorial is available for those getting started with the SDK, and a curl-based HTTP API tutorial provides a hands-on introduction to the underlying REST endpoints.

Developer feedback can be shared on the official developer forum.

Update: The Sync and Datastore SDKs have since been deprecated.
