EnvoAPI for Python

Call EnvoAPI from your Python app to look up profiles, companies, posts, jobs, and more. Includes typed sync and async clients.

Requires Python 3.11+.

Install

python -m pip install envoapi

Set your API key

# macOS / Linux
export ENVOAPI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Windows PowerShell
$env:ENVOAPI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Run your app from the same terminal. Both clients read this variable automatically. Keep your key out of source control.

Make a request

Save as app.py:

from envoapi import EnvoAPI

with EnvoAPI() as client:
    response = client.profiles.get_posts(username="satyanadella")
    print(response.body.data.posts)
    print(response.body.meta.credit_cost)

Run it:

python app.py

Replace satyanadella with the profile username you want to look up. The with block closes the client when you are done.

Async requests

import asyncio
from envoapi import AsyncEnvoAPI

async def main():
    async with AsyncEnvoAPI() as client:
        response = await client.profiles.get_posts(username="satyanadella")
        print(response.body.data.posts)

asyncio.run(main())

In an app that already has an event loop, use await inside your async function instead of calling asyncio.run().

Client options

You can also pass a key from your app's configuration. An explicit key overrides ENVOAPI_API_KEY.

import os
from envoapi import EnvoAPI

with EnvoAPI(api_key=os.environ["ENVOAPI_API_KEY"], timeout=30.0) as client:
    response = client.profiles.get_posts(username="satyanadella")
    print(response.body.data.posts)

Both clients accept the same options. The default timeout is 60 seconds per HTTPX timeout phase; timeout accepts seconds or httpx.Timeout. Use base_url to change the default https://api.envoapi.com, or transport for a custom HTTPX transport.

Handle errors

from envoapi import APIError, EnvoAPI

try:
    with EnvoAPI() as client:
        response = client.profiles.get_posts(username="satyanadella")
        print(response.body.data.posts)
except APIError as error:
    print(error.status, error.code, str(error), error.request_id)

APIError means the API returned an error. TransportError means the request failed, and DecodeError means the response could not be read in the expected format. All three can be imported from envoapi.

Responses and more methods

• response.body.data: the result.
• response.body.meta: request metadata, including credit_cost.
• response.status and response.headers: HTTP status and headers.
• response.body.to_dict(): the response body as a dictionary.

Model attributes use snake_case. The SDK does not retry requests or fetch additional pages automatically. For paginated methods, pass the returned continuation cursor to the next call with the same search parameters. Requests use your EnvoAPI credits.

See the method reference for all available calls. For models and enums, use from envoapi import models.
