Official Clerk backend SDK for Python. Current version is 5.0.2 (Feb 2026). PyPI package is 'clerk-backend-api', imports as 'clerk_backend_api'. SDK was only released in beta Oct 2024 — most tutorials predate it and use manual JWT verification with PyJWT. Three confusable PyPI packages: 'clerk-backend-api' (official), 'clerk-sdk' (unrelated third-party), 'clerk-sdk-python' (single-release stub). Package was previously also distributed as 'clerk' during alpha.
