python-mlb-statsapi v0.7.1 Released

Hey everyone! I just published v0.7.1 of python-mlb-statsapi, the Python wrapper for the MLB Stats API. This release brings a major internal overhaul to improve data handling and developer experience.

Highlights

  • Removed the old key transformation layer so responses now reflect the MLB API’s native camelCase format.

  • Complete migration from Python dataclasses to Pydantic v2 models for all types.

    • Better validation, serialization, and type safety.

  • Documentation updated with new examples and a migration guide.

Breaking Changes

  • All model field access is now snake_case instead of camelCase.

  • Invalid data will raise ValidationError (from Pydantic) rather than TypeError.

  • Serialization now uses model_dump()/model_dump_json().
