cue-notify-client

Python client for Cue, the attention layer between software, AI agents and people. Its only dependency is httpx.

pip install cue-notify-client

The package is imported as cue_client.

from cue_client import Cue

with Cue(api_key="ck_…", base_url="https://cue.example.com") as cue:
    cue.upsert_recipient(
        "user-42",
        timezone="Europe/Berlin",
        addresses=[{"channel": "email", "value": "ann@example.com"}],
    )
    cue.send_event(
        "order.shipped", "user-42", {"order_id": "1001"}, idempotency_key="order-1001-shipped"
    )

AsyncCue has the same methods for asyncio. Errors raise CueError with the problem details Cue returns (status, title, detail, errors). Rate limits and gateway errors are retried automatically for requests that are safe to repeat: reads, profile updates, and sends with an idempotency key.

Verifying webhooks

If Cue delivers to your service through its webhook connector, check every request before trusting it:

from cue_client import InvalidSignatureError, verify_webhook


def handle(request):
    try:
        verify_webhook(request.body, request.headers.get("Cue-Signature"), secret=WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    except InvalidSignatureError:
        return 401
    message = json.loads(request.body)
    ...

Verify the raw body bytes, before parsing them. Requests signed more than five minutes ago are rejected (tolerance= changes this).
