coresender 1.1.1

Coresender API for sending email

Coresender Python SDK

This is the officially supported Python library for Coresender. It allows you to quickly and easily integrate with our API and improve your email deliverability.

Prerequisites

• Python version 3.6+
• The Coresender service. You can start with a free 100 emails/month developer plan and move to one of our pricing plans when you're done.

Installation

Run the following command to get started:

python3 -m pip install coresender

Usage

Here's how to send an email using the SDK:

import asyncio
import uuid

import coresender

async def main():
    coresender.init(
        sending_account_id='<<INSERT CORESENDER SENDING ACCOUNT ID>>',
        sending_account_key='<<INSERT CORESENDER SENDING ACCOUNT API KEY>>',
        # debug=True # if True, then show some logs on stderr, or use `CORESENDER_DEBUG` environment variable
    )

    # EXAMPLE 1 – Recommended

    rq = coresender.SendEmail()
    custom_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
    rq.add_to_batch(
        from_email='[e-mail]',
        from_name='sender',
        to_email='[e-mail]',
        to_name='Recipient-1',
        reply_to_email='[e-mail]',
        reply_to_name='sender',
        subject='Coresender test ' + custom_id,
        body_text='Hello,\nWorld!',
        body_html='<strong>Hello</strong>,<br>World!',
        custom_id=str(custom_id),
        track_opens=True,
        track_click=True
    )

    custom_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
    rq.add_to_batch(
        from_email='[e-mail]',
        from_name='sender',
        to_email='[e-mail]',
        to_name='Recipient-2',
        subject='Coresender test ' + custom_id,
        body_text='Hello,\nWorld!',
        body_html='<strong>Hello</strong>,<br>World!',
        custom_id=str(custom_id),
        track_opens=True,
        track_click=True
    )
    rsp = await rq.execute()
    for i in rsp:
         print(i)


    # Example 2 – For the simplest needs

    custom_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
    rsp = await rq.simple_email(
        from_email='[e-mail]', 
        to_email='[e-mail]',
        subject='Coresender test ' + custom_id,
        body='<strong>Hello</strong>,<br>World!',
        body_type=coresender.BodyType.html
    )
    print(rsp)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

Environment variables

Instead of putting sending account credentials directly in the code, you may want to put them in your environment variables:

CORESENDER_SENDING_API_ID=<<INSERT CORESENDER SENDING ACCOUNT ID>>
CORESENDER_SENDING_API_KEY=<<INSERT CORESENDER SENDING ACCOUNT API KEY>>

The library will detect it automatically and use the credentials stored as environment variables.

You can also use CORESENDER_DEBUG environment variable to toggle debug logs.

Response

The result of a method call is, by default, a domain object. Every response object has http_status property that contains API HTTP response code. Other properties depend on the method you use.

SendEmail.execute

The response is an instance of responses.SendEmail. Because this method allows for sending many emails with one API request, the SendEmail.all_accepted property lets you quickly check if all messages were accepted. If its value is false it means you have to further check for rejected messages.

responses.SendEmail is also an iterator that contains information about the status (and possible errors) of every message from the batch. Items are instances of responses.SendEmailResponse, containing data returned by the API.

SendEmail.simple_email

As this method allows for sending just one email, without batching, the response is simply an instance of responses.SendEmailResponse.

Debugging

For debug purposes there is a flag in Coresender.init method (look at Usage section above). If you enable debug, the library will print out logs to STDERR by default. You can configure it further by fetching coresender log handler:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('coresender')

For more information about loggers, take a look at official documentation of the logging module.

Development

For installing dependencies use Pipenv:

pipenv install --dev
pipenv shell
