Snowflake Python APIs release notes for 2025¶

New features and updates¶

• Added support for asynchronous requests across all of the existing endpoints.

  Asynchronous methods are denoted by the _async suffix in their names and use polling to determine whether an operation was completed.

  The number of calls that can execute in parallel depends on the number of CPUs. To change the size of the thread pool, use the _SNOWFLAKE_MAX_THREADS environment variable.

  For example usage, see the snowflake.core.PollingOperation class documentation.

• Added support for creating serverless tasks using the StoredProcedureCall definition.

• Added support for the SERVERLESS_TASK_MIN_STATEMENT_SIZE and SERVERLESS_TASK_MAX_STATEMENT_SIZE serverless attributes to the Database and Schema resources (dependent on Snowflake version 9.8).

• Added support for setting the SUSPEND_TASK_AFTER_NUM_FAILURES, USER_TASK_MANAGED_INITIAL_WAREHOUSE_SIZE, and USER_TASK_TIMEOUT_MS attributes on cloned databases and schemas (dependent on Snowflake version 9.8).

• Deprecated CortexAgentService.Run in favor of CortexAgentService.run.

• Added new optional attributes to various models within the Cortex Search service API:

  • text_boosts and vector_boosts to the Function model

  • weights to the ScoringConfig model

Bug fixes¶

• You can now call create_or_alter with a task object returned from the iter method.
