Frameio Python Library

Frame.io is a cloud-based collaboration hub that allows video professionals to share files, comment on clips real-time, and compare different versions and edits of a clip.

Installation

pip install frameio

Reference

A full reference for this library is available here.

Usage

You can authenticate with a static token or OAuth 2.0 via frameio.auth:

Static token (for legacy dev tokens or when you already have an access token):

client = Frameio(token="YOUR_TOKEN")

OAuth 2.0 (for production with automatic token refresh):

from frameio import Frameio
from frameio.auth import ServerToServerAuth

auth = ServerToServerAuth(client_id="...", client_secret="...")
client = Frameio(token=auth.get_token)

See the Authentication section below for all OAuth flows.

Example: creating a metadata field definition:

from frameio import (
    Frameio,
    SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfiguration,
    SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfigurationOptionsItem,
)
from frameio.metadata_fields import CreateFieldDefinitionParamsData_Select

client = Frameio(
    token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
client.metadata_fields.metadata_field_definitions_create(
    account_id="b2702c44-c6da-4bb6-8bbd-be6e547ccf1b",
    data=CreateFieldDefinitionParamsData_Select(
        field_configuration=SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfiguration(
            enable_add_new=False,
            options=[
                SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfigurationOptionsItem(
                    display_name="Option 1",
                ),
                SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfigurationOptionsItem(
                    display_name="Option 2",
                ),
            ],
        ),
        name="Fields definition name",
    ),
)

Authentication

The SDK supports two authentication options:

• Static token: Pass a string directly to token=. Suitable for legacy dev tokens or when you already have an access token.
• OAuth 2.0: Use frameio.auth for automatic token management and refresh. Pass auth.get_token to the client.

frameio.auth provides three OAuth 2.0 flows (sync and async):

Flow	Use Case	Classes
Server-to-Server	Backend services, scripts, no user interaction	ServerToServerAuth, AsyncServerToServerAuth
Web App	Server-side apps with client secret	WebAppAuth, AsyncWebAppAuth
Single Page App (SPA)	Browser apps without a client secret (PKCE)	SPAAuth, AsyncSPAAuth

Server-to-Server

For backend services and scripts that need Frame.io access without user interaction:

from frameio import Frameio
from frameio.auth import ServerToServerAuth

auth = ServerToServerAuth(client_id="...", client_secret="...")
client = Frameio(token=auth.get_token)
# Tokens refresh automatically; no user interaction needed.

Web App

For server-side applications with a client secret:

from frameio import Frameio
from frameio.auth import WebAppAuth

auth = WebAppAuth(
    client_id="...",
    client_secret="...",
    redirect_uri="https://myapp.com/callback",
)
import secrets
url = auth.get_authorization_url(state=secrets.token_urlsafe(32))
# Redirect user to url, then:
auth.exchange_code(code="CODE_FROM_CALLBACK")
client = Frameio(token=auth.get_token)

Single Page App (PKCE)

For browser-based apps that cannot store a client secret:

from frameio import Frameio
from frameio.auth import SPAAuth

auth = SPAAuth(client_id="...", redirect_uri="https://myapp.com/cb")
import secrets
result = auth.get_authorization_url(state=secrets.token_urlsafe(32))
# Redirect user to result.url, store result.code_verifier, then:
auth.exchange_code(code="CODE", code_verifier=result.code_verifier)
client = Frameio(token=auth.get_token)

Token persistence

For Web App and SPA flows, you can persist tokens to avoid re-authenticating on each app restart:

# After exchange_code() — save tokens for later
data = auth.export_tokens()
# Store data to file or database ...

# On next app start — restore and use
auth.import_tokens(data)
client = Frameio(token=auth.get_token)

Revoking tokens

To sign out and revoke the current access and refresh tokens:

auth.revoke()

Staging / non-production

Use ims_base_url to point at a staging or alternative Adobe IMS environment:

auth = ServerToServerAuth(
    client_id="...",
    client_secret="...",
    ims_base_url="https://ims-na1-stg1.adobelogin.com",  # example staging URL
)

What about Native App? The Adobe IMS Native App flow relies on custom URI scheme handlers registered at the OS level (e.g. adobe+<hash>://…). This requires a host application — such as Electron, Tauri, or a native mobile app — to intercept the redirect. Python has no standard mechanism for this, so NativeAppAuth is only available in the TypeScript SDK. For Python use cases that need user interaction, use WebAppAuth with a local callback server; for non-interactive workloads, use ServerToServerAuth.

Async Client

The SDK also exports an async client so that you can make non-blocking calls to our API. Note that if you are constructing an Async httpx client class to pass into this client, use httpx.AsyncClient() instead of httpx.Client() (e.g. for the httpx_client parameter of this client).

Use the async auth classes with AsyncFrameio:

from frameio import AsyncFrameio
from frameio.auth import AsyncServerToServerAuth

auth = AsyncServerToServerAuth(client_id="...", client_secret="...")
client = AsyncFrameio(token=auth.get_token)

Full example with an API call:

import asyncio

from frameio import (
    AsyncFrameio,
    SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfiguration,
    SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfigurationOptionsItem,
)
from frameio.metadata_fields import CreateFieldDefinitionParamsData_Select

client = AsyncFrameio(
    token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)


async def main() -> None:
    await client.metadata_fields.metadata_field_definitions_create(
        account_id="b2702c44-c6da-4bb6-8bbd-be6e547ccf1b",
        data=CreateFieldDefinitionParamsData_Select(
            field_configuration=SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfiguration(
                enable_add_new=False,
                options=[
                    SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfigurationOptionsItem(
                        display_name="Option 1",
                    ),
                    SelectDefinitionParamsFieldConfigurationOptionsItem(
                        display_name="Option 2",
                    ),
                ],
            ),
            name="Fields definition name",
        ),
    )


asyncio.run(main())

Exception Handling

When the API returns a non-success status code (4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of the following error will be thrown.

from frameio.core.api_error import ApiError

try:
    client.metadata_fields.metadata_field_definitions_create(...)
except ApiError as e:
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.body)

For OAuth flows via frameio.auth, additional exceptions are available:

• AuthenticationError — token exchange or refresh failed
• TokenExpiredError — refresh token expired; user must re-authenticate
• ConfigurationError — invalid configuration (e.g. missing client_id)
• NetworkError, RateLimitError — network or rate limit issues

from frameio.auth import AuthenticationError, TokenExpiredError

try:
    auth.exchange_code(code="...", code_verifier="...")
except AuthenticationError as e:
    print(e.error_code, e.error_description)
except TokenExpiredError:
    # Redirect user to sign in again
    pass

Pagination

Paginated requests will return a SyncPager or AsyncPager, which can be used as generators for the underlying object.

from frameio import Frameio

client = Frameio(
    token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
response = client.project_permissions.index(
    account_id="b2702c44-c6da-4bb6-8bbd-be6e547ccf1b",
    project_id="b2702c44-c6da-4bb6-8bbd-be6e547ccf1b",
    page_size=10,
    include_total_count=False,
)
for item in response:
    yield item
# alternatively, you can paginate page-by-page
for page in response.iter_pages():
    yield page

Advanced

Access Raw Response Data

The SDK provides access to raw response data, including headers, through the .with_raw_response property. The .with_raw_response property returns a "raw" client that can be used to access the .headers and .data attributes.

from frameio import Frameio

client = Frameio(
    ...,
)
response = (
    client.metadata_fields.with_raw_response.metadata_field_definitions_create(
        ...
    )
)
print(response.headers)  # access the response headers
print(response.data)  # access the underlying object
pager = client.project_permissions.index(...)
print(pager.response.headers)  # access the response headers for the first page
for item in pager:
    print(item)  # access the underlying object(s)
for page in pager.iter_pages():
    print(page.response.headers)  # access the response headers for each page
    for item in page:
        print(item)  # access the underlying object(s)

Retries

The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long as the request is deemed retryable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured retry limit (default: 2).

A request is deemed retryable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:

• 408 (Timeout)
• 429 (Too Many Requests)
• 5XX (Internal Server Errors)

Use the max_retries request option to configure this behavior.

client.metadata_fields.metadata_field_definitions_create(..., request_options={
    "max_retries": 1
})

Timeouts

The SDK defaults to a 60 second timeout. You can configure this with a timeout option at the client or request level.

from frameio import Frameio

client = Frameio(
    ...,
    timeout=20.0,
)


# Override timeout for a specific method
client.metadata_fields.metadata_field_definitions_create(..., request_options={
    "timeout_in_seconds": 1
})

Custom Client

You can override the httpx client to customize it for your use-case. Some common use-cases include support for proxies and transports.

import httpx
from frameio import Frameio

client = Frameio(
    ...,
    httpx_client=httpx.Client(
        proxy="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
        transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
    ),
)

Contributing

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!

On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
