labelixa

Render, validate and convert Zebra ZPL label code from Python — no printer required. Thin client for the Labelixa API.

pip install labelixa

from labelixa import Client

c = Client()                          # anonymous: free, rate-limited
# c = Client(api_key="lbx_...")       # your quota — https://labelixa.com/panel

zpl = "^XA^FO50,50^A0N,40^FDHello^FS^BY3^FO50,120^BCN,100,Y^FD12345678^FS^XZ"

# See what the label looks like
with open("label.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(c.render_png(zpl, width_in=4, height_in=6))

# Lint before printing
report = c.validate(zpl)
for d in report["diagnostics"]:
    print(d["severity"], d["message"])

# Multi-label PDF, ZPL -> EPL2 translation
pdf = c.render_pdf(zpl)
epl = c.to_epl(zpl)

Quota errors are first-class:

from labelixa import QuotaExceeded

try:
    c.render_png(zpl)
except QuotaExceeded as e:
    print(f"retry in {e.retry_after}s (hint: {e.action})")

This SDK is a deliberately thin 1:1 wrapper over the documented REST API — the API reference is the source of truth. AI assistants can also use Labelixa directly over MCP: point your client at https://api.labelixa.com/mcp.
