Alibaba Cloud Credentials API (Interface Definition)

The `alibabacloud-credentials-api` library (version 1.0.0) is identified as the Alibaba Cloud Gateway SPI (Service Provider Interface) SDK Library for Python. It primarily serves as an interface definition package, setting the groundwork for credential provider implementations rather than offering direct end-user credential management. This library is typically a dependency for more comprehensive credential management solutions, such as `alibabacloud-credentials`. It is actively maintained with a focus on defining core credential interfaces for the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem.
