# Python SDK

> Python SDK for the TwelveLabs Video Understanding Platform.

The [TwelveLabs Python SDK](https://github.com/twelvelabs-io/twelvelabs-python) provides a robust interface for interacting with the TwelveLabs Video Understanding Platform. It simplifies authentication and efficiently processes asynchronous tasks.

> **Notes**
>
> * This section provides an overview of the key methods and their usage. However, it is a partial list of all available methods and fields in the SDK.
> * The SDK is designed to closely follow the structure of the TwelveLabs API. In most cases, you'll find a corresponding method in the SDK for each method in the API.

# Sample applications

To get started quickly, see the sample applications below that demonstrate the capabilities of the TwelveLabs Python SDK. These applications show how to implement common use cases and the best practices for using the SDK.
