gRPC AsyncIO API — gRPC Python 1.71.0 documentation (original) (raw)
Overview¶
gRPC AsyncIO API is the new version of gRPC Python whose architecture is tailored to AsyncIO. Underlying, it utilizes the same C-extension, gRPC C-Core, as existing stack, and it replaces all gRPC IO operations with methods provided by the AsyncIO library.
This API is stable. Feel free to open issues on our GitHub repogrpc/grpc for bugs or suggestions.
The design doc can be found here as gRFC.
Caveats¶
gRPC Async API objects may only be used on the thread on which they were created. AsyncIO doesn’t provide thread safety for most of its APIs.
Blocking Code in AsyncIO¶
Making blocking function calls in coroutines or in the thread running event loop will block the event loop, potentially starving all RPCs in the process. Refer to the Python language documentation on AsyncIO for more details (running-blocking-code).
Module Contents¶
Create Channel¶
Channels are the abstraction of clients, where most of networking logic happens, for example, managing one or more underlying connections, name resolution, load balancing, flow control, etc.. If you are using ProtoBuf, Channel objects works best when further encapsulate into stub objects, then the application can invoke remote functions as if they are local functions.
grpc.aio.insecure_channel(target, options=None, compression=None, interceptors=None)[source]¶
Creates an insecure asynchronous Channel to a server.
Parameters:
- target (str) – The server address

- compression (Compression | None) – An optional value indicating the compression method to be used over the lifetime of the channel.
- interceptors (Sequence _[_ClientInterceptor] | None) – An optional sequence of interceptors that will be executed for any call executed with this channel.
Returns:
A Channel.

abstract async __aenter__()[source]¶
Starts an asynchronous context manager.
Returns:

If a grace period is not specified (by passing None for grace), all existing RPCs are cancelled immediately.
This method is idempotent.
Parameters:
grace (float | None)
abstract get_state(try_to_connect=False)[source]¶
Checks the connectivity state of a channel.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL API.
If the channel reaches a stable connectivity state, it is guaranteed that the return value of this function will eventually converge to that state.
Parameters:

abstract async wait_for_state_change(last_observed_state)[source]¶
Waits for a change in connectivity state.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL API.
The function blocks until there is a change in the channel connectivity state from the “last_observed_state”. If the state is already different, this function will return immediately.
There is an inherent race between the invocation of “Channel.wait_for_state_change” and “Channel.get_state”. The state can change arbitrary many times during the race, so there is no way to observe every state transition.
If there is a need to put a timeout for this function, please refer to “asyncio.wait_for”.
Parameters:
last_observed_state (ChannelConnectivity) – A grpc.ChannelConnectivity object representing the last known state.
Return type:
None

- maximum_concurrent_rpcs (int | None) – The maximum number of concurrent RPCs this server will service before returning RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED status, or None to indicate no limit.
- compression (Compression | None) – An element of grpc.compression, e.g. grpc.compression.Gzip. This compression algorithm will be used for the lifetime of the server unless overridden by set_compression.
Returns:
A Server object.
Server Object¶
class grpc.aio.Server[source]¶
Serves RPCs.

A port is a communication endpoint that used by networking protocols, like TCP and UDP. To date, we only support TCP.
This method may only be called before starting the server.
Parameters:
address (str) – The address for which to open a port. If the port is 0, or not specified in the address, then the gRPC runtime will choose a port.
Returns:
An integer port on which the server will accept RPC requests.
Return type:
int
add_registered_method_handlers(service_name, method_handlers)[source]¶
Registers GenericRpcHandlers with this Server.
This method is only safe to call before the server is started.
Parameters:
- service_name – The service name.
- method_handlers – A dictionary that maps method names to corresponding RpcMethodHandler.
abstract add_secure_port(address, server_credentials)[source]¶
Opens a secure port for accepting RPCs.
A port is a communication endpoint that used by networking protocols, like TCP and UDP. To date, we only support TCP.
This method may only be called before starting the server.
Parameters:
- address (str) – The address for which to open a port. if the port is 0, or not specified in the address, then the gRPC runtime will choose a port.
- server_credentials (ServerCredentials) – A ServerCredentials object.
Returns:
An integer port on which the server will accept RPC requests.
Return type:
int
abstract async start()[source]¶
Starts this Server.
This method may only be called once. (i.e. it is not idempotent).
Return type:
None
abstract async stop(grace)[source]¶
Stops this Server.
This method immediately stops the server from servicing new RPCs in all cases.
If a grace period is specified, this method waits until all active RPCs are finished or until the grace period is reached. RPCs that haven’t been terminated within the grace period are aborted. If a grace period is not specified (by passing None for grace), all existing RPCs are aborted immediately and this method blocks until the last RPC handler terminates.
This method is idempotent and may be called at any time. Passing a smaller grace value in a subsequent call will have the effect of stopping the Server sooner (passing None will have the effect of stopping the server immediately). Passing a larger grace value in a subsequent call will not have the effect of stopping the server later (i.e. the most restrictive grace value is used).
Parameters:
grace (float | None) – A duration of time in seconds or None.
Return type:
None
abstract async wait_for_termination(timeout=None)[source]¶
Continues current coroutine once the server stops.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL API.
The wait will not consume computational resources during blocking, and it will block until one of the two following conditions are met:
- The server is stopped or terminated;
- A timeout occurs if timeout is not None.
The timeout argument works in the same way as threading.Event.wait().https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Event.wait
Parameters:
timeout (float | None) – A floating point number specifying a timeout for the operation in seconds.
Returns:
A bool indicates if the operation times out.
Return type:
bool

The interceptor can usecall = await continuation(client_call_details, request_iterator)to continue with the RPC. continuation returns the call to the RPC.
- client_call_details (ClientCallDetails) – A ClientCallDetails object describing the outgoing RPC.
- request_iterator (Iterable [ Any ] | AsyncIterable [ Any ]) – The request iterator that will produce requests for the RPC.
Returns:
The RPC Call.
Raises:
- AioRpcError – Indicating that the RPC terminated with non-OK status.
- asyncio.CancelledError – Indicating that the RPC was canceled.
Return type:
StreamUnaryCall
class grpc.aio.StreamStreamClientInterceptor[source]¶
Affords intercepting stream-stream invocations.
abstract async intercept_stream_stream(continuation, client_call_details, request_iterator)[source]¶
Intercepts a stream-stream invocation asynchronously.
Within the interceptor the usage of the call methods like write or even awaiting the call should be done carefully, since the caller could be expecting an untouched call, for example for start writing messages to it.
The function could return the call object or an asynchronous iterator, in case of being an asyncrhonous iterator this will become the source of the reads done by the caller.
Parameters:
- continuation (Callable [_ _[_ClientCallDetails,_ RequestType ] , StreamStreamCall ]) – A coroutine that proceeds with the invocation by executing the next interceptor in the chain or invoking the actual RPC on the underlying Channel. It is the interceptor’s responsibility to call it if it decides to move the RPC forward. The interceptor can usecall = await continuation(client_call_details, request_iterator)to continue with the RPC. continuation returns the call to the RPC.
- client_call_details (ClientCallDetails) – A ClientCallDetails object describing the outgoing RPC.
- request_iterator (Iterable [ Any ] | AsyncIterable [ Any ]) – The request iterator that will produce requests for the RPC.
Returns:
The RPC Call or an asynchronous iterator.
Raises:
- AioRpcError – Indicating that the RPC terminated with non-OK status.
- asyncio.CancelledError – Indicating that the RPC was canceled.
Return type:
_AsyncIterable_[_Any_] | StreamStreamCall
Server-Side Interceptor¶
class grpc.aio.ServerInterceptor[source]¶
Affords intercepting incoming RPCs on the service-side.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL API.
abstract async intercept_service(continuation, handler_call_details)[source]¶
Intercepts incoming RPCs before handing them over to a handler.
State can be passed from an interceptor to downstream interceptors via contextvars. The first interceptor is called from an empty contextvars.Context, and the same Context is used for downstream interceptors and for the final handler call. Note that there are no guarantees that interceptors and handlers will be called from the same thread.
Parameters:
- continuation (Callable _[_ _[_HandlerCallDetails] , Awaitable _[_RpcMethodHandler] ]) – A function that takes a HandlerCallDetails and proceeds to invoke the next interceptor in the chain, if any, or the RPC handler lookup logic, with the call details passed as an argument, and returns an RpcMethodHandler instance if the RPC is considered serviced, or None otherwise.
- handler_call_details (HandlerCallDetails) – A HandlerCallDetails describing the RPC.
Returns:
An RpcMethodHandler with which the RPC may be serviced if the interceptor chooses to service this RPC, or None otherwise.
Return type:
Multi-Callable Interfaces¶
class grpc.aio.UnaryUnaryMultiCallable[source]¶
Enables asynchronous invocation of a unary-call RPC.
abstract __call__(request, *, timeout=None, metadata=None, credentials=None, wait_for_ready=None, compression=None)[source]¶
Asynchronously invokes the underlying RPC.
Parameters:
- request (RequestType) – The request value for the RPC.
- timeout (float | None) – An optional duration of time in seconds to allow for the RPC.
- metadata (Metadata | Sequence [ Tuple [ str , str | bytes ] ] | None) – Optional metadata to be transmitted to the service-side of the RPC.

Returns:
A UnaryUnaryCall object.
Raises:
