Official Python SDK for KhaleejiAPI - Middle East API Platform

KhaleejiAPI Python SDK

The official Python SDK for KhaleejiAPI — the Middle East API platform providing 20+ production-ready APIs for validation, geolocation, finance, translation, and more.

Installation

pip install khaleejiapi

Quick Start

from khaleejiapi import KhaleejiAPI

client = KhaleejiAPI("kapi_live_your_api_key")

# Validate an email
result = client.validation.validate_email("[e-mail]")
print(result["valid"])  # True

# Look up an IP address
ip_data = client.geo.lookup_ip("8.8.8.8")
print(ip_data["country"]["name"])  # United States

client.close()

Using a context manager

with KhaleejiAPI("kapi_live_your_api_key") as client:
    rates = client.finance.get_exchange_rates("USD")
    print(rates["rates"]["AED"])

Async usage

import asyncio
from khaleejiapi import AsyncKhaleejiAPI

async def main():
    async with AsyncKhaleejiAPI("kapi_live_your_api_key") as client:
        result = await client.validation.validate_email("[e-mail]")
        print(result["valid"])

asyncio.run(main())

Configuration

client = KhaleejiAPI(
    "kapi_live_your_api_key",
    base_url="https://khaleejiapi.dev/api",  # default
    timeout=30.0,                              # seconds (default)
    max_retries=2,                             # automatic retries on 429/5xx (default)
)

Documents

# Image processing (resize, crop, compress, convert)
with open("photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    processed = client.documents.process_image(
        f.read(),
        operations={"width": 800, "format": "webp", "quality": 80},
    )
with open("output.webp", "wb") as f:
    f.write(processed)

# PDF generation from HTML
pdf_bytes = client.documents.generate_pdf(html="<h1>Invoice</h1><p>Amount: 500 AED</p>")
with open("invoice.pdf", "wb") as f:
    f.write(pdf_bytes)

# PDF generation from URL

with open("qr.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(qr_bytes)

# Fraud detection
result = client.utility.check_fraud(
    email="[e-mail]",
    ip="185.220.101.42",
    phone="+1234567",
)
# Returns: { riskScore, riskLevel, signals: [{ field, risk, score, reason }], recommendation }

Error Handling

The SDK raises typed exceptions for every error class:

from khaleejiapi import (
    KhaleejiAPI,
    KhaleejiAPIError,       # Base class for all errors
    AuthenticationError,     # 401 — invalid or missing API key
    ForbiddenError,          # 403 — missing scope
    ValidationError,         # 400 — bad request parameters
    NotFoundError,           # 404 — resource not found
    RateLimitError,          # 429 — rate limit exceeded
    ConflictError,           # 409 — resource conflict
    ServerError,             # 5xx — server error
)

try:
    result = client.validation.validate_email("bad")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited! Retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Check your API key")
except KhaleejiAPIError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.code}: {e.message} (HTTP {e.status_code})")

Rate Limiting

Rate-limit headers are automatically parsed and available after every request:

result = client.validation.validate_email("[e-mail]")
rl = client.last_rate_limit
print(f"Remaining: {rl.get('remaining')} / {rl.get('limit')}")

The SDK automatically retries on HTTP 429 (and 5xx) with exponential backoff. Configure with max_retries (default 2).

Type Safety

This SDK is fully typed and ships with a py.typed marker (PEP 561). All response types are TypedDict subclasses for excellent IDE autocompletion:

from khaleejiapi import EmailValidationResult

def process(result: EmailValidationResult) -> None:
    if result["valid"]:
        print(f"Domain: {result['domain']}")
