A Python Library for the PostGrid Print & Mail API
Project description
PostGrid Python Library
The PostGrid Python library enables you to access the PostGrid Print & Mail API conveniently from applications written in Python. It contains classes representing every resource in the PostGrid Print & Mail API and methods which create and operate on these resources.
Installation
In order to install this package, run
pip install --upgrade postgrid-python
Requirements
- Python 3.6+
Usage
You must have a PostGrid Print & Mail Account (you can sign up at https://dashboard.postgrid.com/signup) and access to your API key which you can retrieve from the settings page.
import postgrid
# Swap this out for your live API key to create live orders
postgrid.pm_key = 'test_sk_...'
# Send a letter
letter = postgrid.Letter.create(
to={
'first_name': 'Apaar',
'last_name': 'Madan',
'address_line1': '145 Mulberry St, Apt PH D, New York NY 10013',
'country_code': 'US'
},
from={
'first_name': 'Kevin',
'last_name': 'Villena',
'address_line1': '90 Canal St',
'address_line2': '2nd Floor',
'city': 'Boston',
'province_or_state': 'MA',
'postal_or_zip': '02114',
'country_code': 'US'
},
html='''
<html>
<body>
<p>Hi, {{to.firstName}}</p>
<p>Welcome to PostGrid.</p>
<p>Yours Truly,</p>
<p>{{from.firstName}} {{from.lastName}}</p>
</body>
</html>
'''
)
# Prints 'ready'
print(letter.status)
# Cancel the letter
letter = postgrid.Letter.delete(letter.id)
# Prints 'cancelled'
print(letter.status)
Note that API parameters map one-to-one with the underlying REST API.
However, instead of camelCase, this library uses snake_case. For example, a letterHTML parameter
in the original API would be letter_html in this library.
Handling Exceptions
Errors produced by the API will raise a PMError exception. The PMError object has a
type field that can be used to determine what the error was. It also has a message field
which provides a human readable message describing the error in detail.
import postgrid
postgrid.pm_key = 'test_sk_...'
try:
template = postgrid.Template.create(
description='SDK Template',
html='''
<html>
<body>
<p>Hi, {{to.firstName}}</p>
<p>Welcome to PostGrid.</p>
<p>Yours Truly,</p>
<p>{{from.firstName}} {{from.lastName}}</p>
</body>
</html>
''',
)
except postgrid.PMError as e:
print(e.status_code)
print(e.type)
print(e.message)
raise e
Support
Email support@postgrid.com if you face any errors with the API or create issues in the
postgrid-python GitHub if you face issues with the SDK itself.
