apertur-sdk 0.1.5

Python SDK for the Apertur API

apertur-sdk

Official Python SDK for the Apertur API. Supports API key and OAuth token authentication, session management, image uploads (plain and encrypted), long polling, webhook verification, and full resource CRUD.

Installation

Requires Python 3.9+ and is installed via pip.

pip install apertur-sdk

Quick Start

Create a client, open an upload session, and upload an image in a few lines. See the API documentation for a full overview.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")

session = client.sessions.create()
image = client.upload.image(session["uuid"], "/path/to/photo.jpg")

print(image["id"])

Authentication

The client accepts either a long-lived API key or a short-lived OAuth bearer token. Only one is required. The environment (live / test) is auto-detected from the key prefix. See Authentication documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

# API key
client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")

# OAuth token
client = Apertur(oauth_token=access_token)

# Custom base URL
client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...", base_url="https://sandbox.api.aptr.ca")

# Context manager (auto-closes the HTTP connection)
with Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...") as client:
    session = client.sessions.create()

Sessions

Upload sessions scope every image upload. You can create a session with optional settings, retrieve it, protect it with a password, and check delivery status. See Sessions documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")

# Create a session
session = client.sessions.create(password="s3cr3t", max_images=200)

# Retrieve session details
details = client.sessions.get(session["uuid"])

# Verify a password-protected session before uploading
result = client.sessions.verify_password(session["uuid"], "s3cr3t")

# Check per-destination delivery status. Returns
# { "status": "pending|active|completed|expired", "files": [...], "lastChanged": "<ISO 8601>" }
status = client.sessions.delivery_status(session["uuid"])

# Long-poll: server holds the response up to 5 min waiting for a change.
# Pass timeout=360.0 (6 min) so the server releases first under the happy path.
status = client.sessions.delivery_status(
    session["uuid"],
    poll_from=status["lastChanged"],
    timeout=360.0,
)

Uploading Images

Upload a plain image using a file path, raw bytes, or a file-like object. For end-to-end encrypted uploads, use image_encrypted with the server's RSA public key. See Upload documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")
uuid = "session-uuid-here"

# Upload from a file path
image = client.upload.image(uuid, "/tmp/photo.jpg", filename="photo.jpg", source="my-app")

# Upload from bytes
with open("/tmp/photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image = client.upload.image(uuid, f.read())

# Upload from a file-like object
with open("/tmp/photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image = client.upload.image(uuid, f)

# Upload to a password-protected session
image = client.upload.image(uuid, "/tmp/photo.jpg", password="s3cr3t")

# Encrypted upload (fetch the server key first)
server_key = client.encryption.get_server_key()
image = client.upload.image_encrypted(
    uuid, "/tmp/photo.jpg", server_key["publicKey"],
    filename="photo.jpg", mime_type="image/jpeg",
)

Long Polling

Poll a session for new images, download each one, and acknowledge receipt to advance the queue. The poll_and_process helper loops automatically and calls your handler for every image. See Long Polling documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")
uuid = "session-uuid-here"

# Manual poll / download / ack cycle
result = client.polling.list(uuid)
for image in result["images"]:
    data = client.polling.download(uuid, image["id"])
    with open(f"/tmp/{image['id']}.jpg", "wb") as f:
        f.write(data)
    client.polling.ack(uuid, image["id"])

# Automatic loop with 60-second timeout and 3-second interval
def handle_image(image, data):
    with open(f"/tmp/{image['id']}.jpg", "wb") as f:
        f.write(data)
    print(f"Saved {image['id']}")

client.polling.poll_and_process(uuid, handle_image, interval=3.0, timeout=60)

Receiving Webhooks

Apertur signs every webhook payload so you can verify it was not tampered with. Three verification functions are available. See Webhooks documentation.

from apertur import verify_webhook_signature, verify_event_signature, verify_svix_signature

# Image delivery webhook
valid = verify_webhook_signature(body, signature, secret)

# Event webhook -- HMAC method
valid = verify_event_signature(body, timestamp, signature, secret)

# Event webhook -- Svix method
valid = verify_svix_signature(body, svix_id, timestamp, signature, secret)

Destinations

Destinations define where uploaded images are delivered (S3, webhook, long-poll queue, etc.). See Destinations documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")
project_id = "proj_..."

# List all destinations
destinations = client.destinations.list(project_id)

# Create a new destination
dest = client.destinations.create(
    project_id, type="s3", name="Primary S3 bucket",
    config={"bucket": "my-bucket", "region": "us-east-1"},
)

# Update a destination
client.destinations.update(project_id, dest["id"], name="Updated name")

# Trigger a test delivery
client.destinations.test(project_id, dest["id"])

# Delete a destination
client.destinations.delete(project_id, dest["id"])

API Keys

API keys are scoped to a project and optionally restricted to specific destinations. See API Keys documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")
project_id = "proj_..."

# List keys
keys = client.keys.list(project_id)

# Create a key
key = client.keys.create(project_id, label="Mobile app key")

# Update a key
client.keys.update(project_id, key["key"]["id"], label="Mobile app key v2")

# Assign destinations (and optionally enable long polling)
client.keys.set_destinations(key["key"]["id"], ["dest_abc", "dest_def"], long_polling_enabled=True)

# Delete a key
client.keys.delete(project_id, key["key"]["id"])

Event Webhooks

Event webhooks push real-time notifications to your endpoint. See Event Webhooks documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")
project_id = "proj_..."

# List webhooks
webhooks = client.webhooks.list(project_id)

# Create a webhook
webhook = client.webhooks.create(
    project_id,
    url="https://example.com/webhooks/apertur",
    topics=["image.uploaded", "session.completed"],
)

# Test, update, list deliveries, retry, delete
client.webhooks.test(project_id, webhook["id"])
client.webhooks.update(project_id, webhook["id"], topics=["image.uploaded"])
deliveries = client.webhooks.deliveries(project_id, webhook["id"], page=1, limit=25)
client.webhooks.retry_delivery(project_id, webhook["id"], deliveries["deliveries"][0]["id"])
client.webhooks.delete(project_id, webhook["id"])

Encryption

Apertur supports end-to-end encrypted uploads using RSA-OAEP + AES-256-GCM. See Encryption documentation.

from apertur import Apertur

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")

# Fetch the server's RSA public key
server_key = client.encryption.get_server_key()

# Upload an encrypted image
image = client.upload.image_encrypted(
    "session-uuid-here",
    "/tmp/photo.jpg",
    server_key["publicKey"],
    filename="photo.jpg",
    mime_type="image/jpeg",
)

Error Handling

All API errors raise typed exceptions that extend AperturError. See Error Handling documentation.

from apertur import (
    Apertur,
    AperturError,
    AuthenticationError,
    NotFoundError,
    RateLimitError,
    ValidationError,
)

client = Apertur(api_key="aptr_live_...")

try:
    session = client.sessions.create()
    image = client.upload.image(session["uuid"], "/tmp/photo.jpg")
except AuthenticationError as e:
    print(f"Auth failed: {e.message}")
except NotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Not found: {e.message}")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e.message}")
except AperturError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e.message} [{e.code}]")
