parseapi

Official parseAPI client for Python.

pip install parseapi

from parseapi import ParseAPI

parse = ParseAPI("your-api-key")
country = parse.country("US")

Get a key at parseapi.com. The client also reads PARSEAPI_KEY from the environment.

Responses are plain dicts, exactly the JSON the API returns.

Async

Same surface, await everything.

from parseapi import AsyncParseAPI

parse = AsyncParseAPI("your-api-key")
country = await parse.country("US")

Deep

Pass deep=True to include the nested deep object with richer fields.

ip = parse.ip("52.94.76.10", deep=True)
ip["deep"]["datacenter"]  # True

Errors

Every non-2xx response raises ParseAPIError with status, code, docs, and request_id. Branch on code.

from parseapi import ParseAPIError

try:
    parse.city("atlantis")
except ParseAPIError as err:
    if err.code == "not_found":
        ...  # no such city

Options

parse = ParseAPI(
    "your-api-key",
    timeout=10.0,  # per-attempt timeout in seconds
    retries=2,     # automatic retries on network errors, 429, and 5xx
)

Requires Python 3.9 or later. One dependency (httpx).
