outreply

Official Python SDK for the OutReply Developer API.

pip install outreply

Quick start

import os
from outreply import OutReply

client = OutReply(api_key=os.environ["OUTREPLY_API_KEY"])

# 1. Verify your key
me = client.account.retrieve()
print(f"Signed in as {me['email']}")

# 2. Schedule a post (idempotency-safe — retry freely)
post = client.posts.schedule(
    page_id="65f...",
    message="Launching tomorrow 🚀",
    scheduled_at="2026-05-01T10:00:00Z",
)

# 2b. …or publish one right now.
live = client.posts.publish(
    page_id="65f...",
    message="We're live! 🎉",
    media_urls=["https://cdn.example.com/hero.jpg"],
)
print(live["platform_post_id"])

# 3. Subscribe to real-time events
hook = client.webhooks.create(
    url="https://example.com/webhooks/outreply",
    events=["post.published", "post.failed"],
)
print("Store this secret — it's shown only once:", hook["secret"])

Features

• 🔐 Bearer-token auth. Supports scoped keys and sandbox tokens.
• 🔁 Automatic Idempotency-Key on every mutating call.
• 🪝 Built-in webhook signature verifier.
• ⏱ Exponential-backoff retries that respect Retry-After.
• 🧯 Typed exceptions mapped 1:1 with the error catalog.
• 🧭 Full type hints. Works on Python 3.9+.

Resources

Webhook verification (Flask)

from flask import Flask, request, abort
from outreply import construct_event

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.post("/webhooks/outreply")
def outreply_webhook():
    try:
        event = construct_event(
            payload=request.get_data(),  # raw bytes — NOT request.json
            header=request.headers.get("X-OutReply-Signature"),
            secret=os.environ["OUTREPLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET"],
            timestamp_header=request.headers.get("X-OutReply-Timestamp"),
            tolerance_sec=300,
        )
    except ValueError:
        abort(400)
    print("Received:", event["type"], event["data"])
    return "", 200

The verifier is dual-signature aware — it accepts comma-separated signatures so your receiver keeps accepting traffic during a 24-hour secret-rotation grace window.

Error handling

from outreply import (
    OutReply,
    OutReplyRateLimitError,
    OutReplyValidationError,
    OutReplyQuotaError,
)

try:
    client.posts.schedule(page_id="...", message="...", scheduled_at="...")
except OutReplyValidationError as err:
    print("Bad input:", err.details)
except OutReplyRateLimitError as err:
    print(f"Slow down — retry in {err.retry_after_sec}s")
except OutReplyQuotaError:
    print("Daily quota exceeded. Upgrade your plan.")

Configuration

client = OutReply(
    api_key=os.environ["OUTREPLY_API_KEY"],
    timeout=30.0,
    max_retries=2,              # 3 attempts total
    default_headers={"X-Tenant": "acme-co"},
)
