NowMail

NowMail is a powerful Python library for creating and managing temporary email accounts using the 1secmail.com API. NowMail offers asynchronous and synchronous methods for generating temporary mailboxes, checking messages, and fetching detailed message content. Additionally, it includes a periodic checker to automate mailbox monitoring.

Installation

Install NowMail using pip:

pip install nowmail

Features

• Generate temporary email addresses: Create single or multiple random temporary email addresses.
• Message checking and retrieval: Check for new messages and fetch message content.
• Automated mailbox monitoring: Start a periodic checker to monitor mailboxes at defined intervals.
• Error handling: Includes built-in exception handling for network and API issues.

Getting Started

Here's a quick guide to get started with NowMail.

Synchronous Example

from nowmail import generate, check, fetch

# Generate a temporary email address
email_addresses = generate(1)
print("Generated emails:", email_addresses)

# Parse login and domain from email
login, domain = email_addresses[0].split('@')

# Check the mailbox for messages
messages = check(login, domain)
if messages:
    message_id = messages[0].id
    # Fetch full message content
    message = fetch(login, domain, message_id)
    print("Message content:", message.body)
else:
    print("No new messages.")

Asynchronous Example

import asyncio
from nowmail.api.async_api import async_generate, async_check, async_fetch

async def main():
    # Generate email addresses asynchronously
    email_addresses = await async_generate(1)
    print("Generated emails:", email_addresses)

    login, domain = email_addresses[0].split('@')
    # Check for messages asynchronously
    messages = await async_check(login, domain)
    if messages:
        message_id = messages[0].id
        # Fetch full message content asynchronously
        message = await async_fetch(login, domain, message_id)
        print("Message content:", message.body)
    else:
        print("No new messages.")

asyncio.run(main())

Periodic Mailbox Checker

Use NowMail's start_checker to continuously monitor an email account and automatically retrieve messages as they arrive.

from nowmail import start_checker

# Start a periodic checker
checker = start_checker("example", "tempmail.com", interval=15, duration=60)
message = checker()
if message:
    print("New message:", message.body)
else:
    print("No new messages in the specified duration.")

Detailed API

NowMail provides several modules for handling temporary mailboxes and periodic message checking.

Core Modules

client.py

The TempMailClient class manages interactions with the tempmail API. It supports asynchronous mailbox generation, checking, and message fetching.

periodic_checker.py

PeriodicChecker automates email checking, enabling you to start a separate thread that continuously monitors an inbox for new messages.

exceptions.py

Custom exceptions to handle specific errors:

• MailServiceError: Base exception for NowMail.
• NetworkError: Raised for network-related issues.
• APIError: Raised when the API returns an error response.

Configuration

You can configure NowMail using environment variables or the config.py module:

• BASE_URL: Set the base URL of the API.
• TIMEOUT: Define request timeout (default is 10 seconds).
