sendpigeon 0.3.1

Official Python SDK for SendPigeon - Transactional Email API

SendPigeon Python SDK

Official Python SDK for SendPigeon - Transactional Email API.

Installation

pip install sendpigeon

Quick Start

from sendpigeon import SendPigeon

client = SendPigeon("sk_live_xxx")

# Send an email
result = client.send(
    to="[e-mail]",
    subject="Welcome!",
    html="<h1>Hello!</h1><p>Welcome to our service.</p>"
)

if result.ok:
    print(f"Email sent: {result.data.id}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {result.error.message}")

Async Support

from sendpigeon import AsyncSendPigeon

async with AsyncSendPigeon("sk_live_xxx") as client:
    result = await client.send(
        to="[e-mail]",
        subject="Hello",
        html="<p>Hi there!</p>"
    )

Local Development

Use the SendPigeon CLI to catch emails locally:

# Terminal 1: Start local server
npx @sendpigeon-sdk/cli dev

# Terminal 2: Run your app with dev mode
SENDPIGEON_DEV=true python app.py

When SENDPIGEON_DEV=true, the SDK routes requests to localhost:4100 instead of production.

Features

Send Email

result = client.send(
    to="[e-mail]",       # or ["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"]
    subject="Hello",
    html="<p>HTML content</p>",
    text="Plain text fallback",
    from_address="[e-mail]",
    reply_to="[e-mail]",
    cc="[e-mail]",
    bcc="[e-mail]",
    tags=["welcome", "onboarding"],
    metadata={"user_id": "123"},
    scheduled_at="2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
)

Templates

# Use a template
result = client.send(
    to="[e-mail]",
    template_id="tmpl_xxx",
    variables={"name": "John", "company": "Acme"},
)

# Manage templates
templates = client.templates.list()
template = client.templates.create(
    name="Welcome Email",
    subject="Welcome, {{name}}!",
    html="<p>Hi {{name}}, welcome to {{company}}!</p>"
)

Batch Sending

result = client.send_batch([
    {"to": "[e-mail]", "subject": "Hi A", "html": "<p>Hello A</p>"},
    {"to": "[e-mail]", "subject": "Hi B", "html": "<p>Hello B</p>"},
])

print(f"Sent: {result.data.summary['sent']}, Failed: {result.data.summary['failed']}")

Domains

# List domains
domains = client.domains.list()

# Add and verify a domain
domain = client.domains.create("yourdomain.com")
print(f"Add these DNS records: {domain.data.dns_records}")

# Check verification
verification = client.domains.verify(domain.data.id)
print(f"Verified: {verification.data.verified}")

API Keys

# Create a new API key
key = client.api_keys.create(
    name="Production",
    mode="live",
    permission="sending",  # or "full_access"
)
print(f"Save this key: {key.data.key}")  # Only shown once!

# List keys
keys = client.api_keys.list()

Webhook Verification

from sendpigeon import verify_webhook

result = verify_webhook(
    payload=request.body,
    signature=request.headers["X-Webhook-Signature"],
    timestamp=request.headers["X-Webhook-Timestamp"],
    secret="whsec_xxx",
)

if result.valid:
    event = result.payload
    print(f"Event: {event['type']}")

Error Handling

The SDK uses a Result pattern - no exceptions are thrown for API errors:

result = client.send(to="[e-mail]", subject="Hi", html="<p>Hello</p>")

if result.error:
    print(f"Error: {result.error.message}")
    print(f"Code: {result.error.code}")      # "api_error", "network_error", "timeout_error"
    print(f"API Code: {result.error.api_code}")  # e.g., "DOMAIN_NOT_VERIFIED"
    print(f"Status: {result.error.status}")  # HTTP status code
else:
    print(f"Success: {result.data.id}")

# Or use unwrap() for quick scripts (raises on error)
email = client.send(...).unwrap()

Configuration

client = SendPigeon(
    "sk_live_xxx",
    base_url="https://api.sendpigeon.dev",  # Override API URL
    timeout=30.0,                            # Request timeout in seconds
    max_retries=2,                           # Retry failed requests (0-5)
    debug=True,                              # Log requests/responses
)
