Available on pypi as package python-sanity

Install with uv:

uv add python-sanity

Install with pip:

pip install python-sanity

Environment Variables

You can pass parameters to the client constructor directly, but it is recommended to use environment variables.

Variable	Description	Required	Default Value
SANITY_PROJECT_ID	The project ID	Yes
SANITY_DATASET	The dataset to use	No	production
SANITY_API_TOKEN	The API token	No (required for mutations)
SANITY_LOG_LEVEL	Level of logging	No	INFO

What's New in v0.2.0

• AsyncClient: Full async/await support for all operations
• Optional Logger: Logger parameter is now optional, uses built-in logger with SANITY_LOG_LEVEL support
• httpx: Migrated from requests to httpx for better async support and HTTP/2
• Automatic Retries: Configurable retry logic with exponential backoff
• Better Error Handling: Specific exception types (SanityAuthError, SanityRateLimitError, etc.)
• New API Parameters:
  • Query: perspective, result_source_map, tag, return_query
  • Mutation: auto_generate_array_keys, skip_cross_dataset_references_validation, transaction_id
• Context Managers: Both Client and AsyncClient support context managers
• Updated API Version: Default API version updated to 2025-02-19

Quick Start

Synchronous Client

from sanity import Client

# Simple initialization (logger is now optional!)
client = Client()  # Uses environment variables

# Or with explicit parameters
client = Client(
    project_id="your-project-id",
    dataset="production",
    token="your-api-token",  # Optional for read-only queries
    use_cdn=True
)

# Query with GROQ
result = client.query(
    groq="*[_type == 'post'] | order(publishedAt desc)[0...10]",
    variables={"limit": 10}
)

# Mutations
transactions = [{
    "createOrReplace": {
        "_id": "post.123",
        "_type": "post",
        "title": "Hello World",
        "publishedAt": "2025-01-15T00:00:00Z"
    }
}]

result = client.mutate(
    transactions=transactions,
    return_documents=True
)

# Upload assets
result = client.assets(
    file_path="https://example.com/image.png"
)

Async Client

from sanity import AsyncClient
import asyncio

async def main():
    # Use async context manager
    async with AsyncClient() as client:
        # Async query
        result = await client.query(
            groq="*[_type == 'post']",
            perspective="published"
        )

        # Async mutation
        result = await client.mutate(
            transactions=[{
                "create": {
                    "_type": "post",
                    "title": "Async Post"
                }
            }]
        )

        # Async asset upload
        result = await client.assets(
            file_path="/path/to/image.png"
        )

asyncio.run(main())

Advanced Configuration

from sanity import Client, TimeoutConfig, RetryConfig

# Custom timeouts and retries
client = Client(
    timeout=TimeoutConfig(
        connect=5.0,
        read=30.0,
        write=30.0,
        pool=5.0
    ),
    retry_config=RetryConfig(
        max_retries=5,
        backoff_factor=1.0
    ),
    http2=True
)

Error Handling

from sanity import (
    Client,
    SanityAuthError,
    SanityRateLimitError,
    SanityValidationError
)

client = Client()

try:
    result = client.query(groq="*[_type == 'post']")
except SanityAuthError as e:
    print(f"Authentication failed: {e.message}")
except SanityRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited, retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except SanityValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e.response_body}")

Migration Guide from v0.1.x

Breaking Changes

None! v0.2.0 is fully backward compatible.

Optional Improvements

1. Logger is now optional:

   # Old way (still works)
   import logging
   client = Client(logger=logging.getLogger(__name__))
   
   # New way (simpler)
   client = Client()  # Uses built-in logger with SANITY_LOG_LEVEL
   

2. Use context managers for cleanup:

   # Recommended
   with Client() as client:
       result = client.query(groq="*[_type == 'post']")
   

3. Try async for better performance:

   from sanity import AsyncClient
   
   async with AsyncClient() as client:
       result = await client.query(groq="*[_type == 'post']")
   

4. Use new parameters:

   # Query with perspective
   result = client.query(
       groq="*[_type == 'post']",
       perspective="published",  # drafts, published, raw
       tag="my-app"
   )
   
   # Mutations with new options
   result = client.mutate(
       transactions=[...],
       auto_generate_array_keys=True,
       transaction_id="my-custom-id"
   )
