Python API client for sendwithus.com

Project description

sendwithus python-client
========================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sendwithus/sendwithus_python.png)](https://travis-ci.org/sendwithus/sendwithus_python)

## requirements
python requests library

## installation
pip install sendwithus

## usage

For all examples, assume:
```python
import sendwithus
api = sendwithus.api(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY')
```

### error handling
By default, the api calls return a response object. However, you can use
`sendwithus.api(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY', raise_errors=True)` which will raise the following errors:
* `AuthenticationError` - Caused by an invalid api key
* `APIError` - Caused by an invalid api request (4xx error)
* `ServerError` - Caused by a server error (5xx error)

Errors can be imported from the `sendwithus.exceptions` module.

# Templates

## Get your templates

```python
api.templates()
```

## Create a template

```python
api.create_template(
name='Email Name',
subject='Email Subject',
html='<html><head></head><body>Valid HTML</body></html>',
text='Optional text content')
```

We validate all HTML and will return an error if it's invalid.

```python
r.status_code
# 400
r.content
# 'email html failed to validate'
```

# Send

*NOTE* - If a customer does not exist by the specified email (recipient address), the send call will create a customer.

```

# Drip Campaigns

## List all drip campaigns

List all drip campaigns for the current profile

```python
api.list_drip_campaigns()
```

## Start a customer on a drip campaign

Starts a customer on the first step of a specified drip campaign

```python
api.start_on_drip_campaign('dc_1234asdf1234', {'address':'customer@email.com'})
```

### Extra Data

You may specify extra data to be merged into the templates in the drip campaign

```python
api.start_on_drip_campaign(
'dc_1234asdf1234',
{'address':'customer@email.com'},
email_data={'color': 'blue'},
sender={'address': 'from@email.com'},
cc=[{'address': 'cc@email.com'}],
tags=['tag_one', 'tag_two'],
esp_account='esp_1234',
locale='en-US'
)
```

## Remove a customer from a drip campaign

```python
api.remove_from_drip_campaign('customer@email.com', 'dc_1234asdf1234')
```

## Remove a customer from all drip campaigns

You can deactivate all pending drip campaign emails for a customer

```python
api.drip_deactivate('customer@example.com')
```

## List the details of a specific campaign

```python
api.drip_campaign_details('dc_1234asdf1234')
```

# Customers

## Get a Customer

```python
api.customer_details('customer@example.com')
```

## Create/update Customer

You can use the same endpoint to create or update a customer. Sendwithus
will perform a merge of the data on the customer profile, preferring the new data.

```python
api.customer_create('customer@example.com', data={'first_name': 'Matt'})
```


## Delete a Customer

```python
api.customer_delete('customer@example.com')
```

## Add Customer to a Group

```python
api.add_customer_to_group('customer@example.com', 'grp_1234')
```

## Remove Customer from a Group

```python
api.remove_customer_from_group('customer@example.com', 'grp_1234')
```

# Conversions

## Create a customer conversion event

You can use the Conversion API to track conversion and revenue data events
against your sent emails.

**NOTE:** Revenue is in cents (eg. $100.50 = 10050)

```python
api.customer_conversion('customer@example.com', revenue=10050)
```

# Customer Groups

## Create a Customer Group

```python
api.create_customer_group('group_name', 'sample group description')
```

## Delete a customer group

```python
api.delete_customer_group('grp_1234')
```

## Update a Customer Group

```python
api.update_customer_group('new_name', 'updated group description')
```

# Segmentation

## Send Template to Segment

You can use the Segments API to send a template to all customers who match a
segment. The Segment must be created in the Sendwithus dashboard, which is
where you will find the `segment_id` for use in this API.

```python
api.send_segment('tem_12345', 'seg_1245')
```

### Extra Data

You may specify extra data to be merged into the template, alongside the
individual customer profiles

```python
api.send_segment('tem_12345', 'seg_12345', email_data={'color': 'blue'})
```

# Render

## Render a Template with data

The render API allows you to render a template with data, using the exact same rendering workflow that Sendwithus uses when delivering your email.

```python
api.render('tem_12345', { "amount": "$12.00" }, 'French-Version', strict=False)
```

## expected response

### Success
>>> r.status_code
200

>>> r.json().get('success')
True

>>> r.json().get('status')
u'OK'

>>> r.json().get('receipt_id')
u'numeric-receipt-id'

### Error cases
* malformed request

>>> r.status_code
400

* bad API key

>>> r.status_code
403

## to run tests
python setup.py test

### Testing multiple python versions
This assumes you have [tox](https://testrun.org/tox/latest/) installed and used
[pyenv](https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv) to install multiple versions of python.

Once all the supported python versions are installed simply run:

tox

This will run the tests against all the versions specified in `tox.ini`.

### packaging (internal)
python setup.py sdist upload
