plone.restapi 9 requires Python 3 and works with Plone 5.2 and Plone 6.x.

plone.restapi 8 entered "maintenance" mode with the release of plone.restapi 9 (September 2023). It is not planned to backport any features to this version and we highly recommend to upgrade to plone.restapi 9.

Python versions that reached their end-of-life, including Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 are not supported any longer.

Use plone.restapi 7 if you are running Python 2.7 or Plone versions below 5.2.
