Netlify Python Client SDK

This is a partial client library designed to wrap the Netlify APIs for python client users.

Full openapi docs: https://open-api.netlify.com/.

This client library is not affiliated with Netlify in any way and provides no guarantees of support or compatibility for Netlify APIs.

User Guide

This section is intended for developers who want to use the library to make requests to Netlify.

Installation

⚠ netlify-python currently supports python 3.10+.

Recommended installation through PIP via pypi.

pip install netlify-python

You can also install using uv:

uv add netlify-python

or Poetry:

poetry add netlify-python

Usage

This client currently only supports Personal Access Tokens. Navigate to User Settings > Applications > Personal Access Tokens and create a new access token. This is the token you'll use in your initialization of the client.

This created a client that can send http requests.

from netlify import NetlifyClient

client = NetlifyClient(access_token="my-access-token")

client.get_current_user()  # Get current user information
client.create_site_deploy("site-id", "path/to/zip/file.zip")

Note that all types are exposed via py.typed so if you are setup with a Pylance server or are using mypy/ty, you can get types automatically from the objects in this library.

API

This client has minimal support for Netlify APIs based on community need. The following endpoints are currently supported:

For Developers

This section is for developers who want to improve this library. The default development version is on 3.14 but we are currently supporting all python versions >= 3.10.

This library should be developed directly with pip using a venv.

Development Dependencies

Make sure that you have pyenv. You can test this by checking your python version after opening this directory. If you need to target a specific version of python you should overwrite your .python-version file and ensure you have the specific version installed.

pyenv install
python --version

Make sure your active python version has virtualenv setup via:

python -m pip install virtualenv

Create and activate your venv

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate

Starting development

Everything here out should be executed inside the active venv.

Install your dependencies:

pip install .[dev]

Setup pre-commits:

pre-commit install

You should be good to go now.

Running tests

Tests are supported via pytest:

pytest

Building the package

Get your build dependencies in place:

pip install .[build]

Then build the package:

python -m build
