I’ve been recently using the Python API and unless I’m mistaken it looks like it doesn’t offer any type hints for any of the requests. Is this a feature that’s on the product roadmap?

The Python runtime does not enforce function and variable type annotations. They can be used by third party tools such as type checkers, IDEs, linters, etc. [Typing speed test](https://typingspeedtest.online) tool do the same.
