Simple Salesforce is a low-level Python client for the Salesforce.com REST and APEX APIs, returning API JSON responses as dictionaries. It supports multiple authentication methods including username/password with security token, IP-whitelist with organization ID, JWT, and connected app credentials.

Use cases

• query and update Salesforce records from Python
• authenticate to Salesforce REST API with a security token or JWT
• run SOQL queries against a Salesforce org
• integrate Salesforce CRM data into Python scripts or ETL jobs
• call Salesforce APEX REST endpoints from Python

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, low-level Python wrapper around the Salesforce REST API
• you want raw JSON responses without heavy ORM-style abstractions
• you need flexible Salesforce authentication options including JWT and connected apps

When to avoid

• you need bulk/bulk API v2 support or high-level ORM-like abstractions out of the box
• you are working with a different CRM than Salesforce
• you need a client for a language other than Python
