🔧 Installation

1. Install from PyPi using pip, a package manager for Python.

   pip install peopledatalabs
   

2. Sign up for a free PDL API key.

3. Set your API key in the PDL_API_KEY environment variable.

🚀 Usage

First, create the PDLPY client:

from peopledatalabs import PDLPY


# specifying an API key
client = PDLPY(
    api_key="YOUR API KEY",
)

# or leave blank if you have PDL_API_KEY set in your environment or .env file
client = PDLPY()

Note: You can provide your API key directly in code, or alternatively set a PDL_API_KEY variable in your environment or .env file.

Then, send requests to any PDL API Endpoint.

📘 Documentation

All of our API endpoints are documented at: https://docs.peopledatalabs.com/

These docs describe the supported input parameters, output responses and also provide additional technical context.

As illustrated in the Endpoints section above, each of our API endpoints is mapped to a specific method in the PDLPY class. For each of these class methods, all function inputs are mapped as input parameters to the respective API endpoint, meaning that you can use the API documentation linked above to determine the input parameters for each endpoint.

As an example:

The following is valid because name is a supported input parameter to the Person Identify API:

PDLPY().person.identify({"name": "sean thorne"})

Conversely, this would be invalid because fake_parameter is not an input parameter to the Person Identify API:

PDLPY().person.identify({"fake_parameter": "anything"})
