Deprecated API Client (Legacy)

bitmovin-api-sdk-python is the latest Bitmovin API client for Python 2 and 3. It guarantees 100% specification conformity at any given time and access to all features of the API as soon as they are released.

However, if you need to use the previous version for legacy reasons, you can still find it at bitmovin-python.
