teachworks-sdk 1.0.0

Python SDK for the Teachworks API.

Teachworks SDK

A Python SDK for the Teachworks API. This package provides a typed, validated, and well-organized interface to Teachworks, built around a resilient TeachworksSession that manages authentication, rate limits, pagination, and error handling.

Installation

pip install teachworks-sdk

Quick Start

from teachworks_sdk import TeachworksSession

with TeachworksSession(api_key="your-api-key") as session:
    # List all locations
    locations = session.locations.list()
    for location in locations:
        print(location.id, location.name)

    # Fetch all students across pages
    students = session.students.list(all_pages=True)

    # Retrieve a single record
    employee = session.employees.retrieve(123)

Features

• 23 API resources - Customers, students, employees, lessons, invoices, payments, and more
• Automatic pagination - Fetch all pages with all_pages=True
• Rate limiting - Built-in request throttling and retry with exponential backoff
• Typed responses - Pydantic models with full type hints
• Relationship resolution - Lazy-load related resources
• Session caching - Identity map prevents duplicate fetches
• Comprehensive logging - DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, and ERROR logging with flexible configuration

Basic Examples

Error Handling

from teachworks_sdk import TeachworksSession, TeachworksAPIError

try:
    location = session.locations.retrieve(999999)
except TeachworksAPIError as exc:
    print(exc.status_code, exc.message)

Typed Filtering

from teachworks_sdk import TeachworksSession, Types
from datetime import date

lessons = session.lessons.list(
    query=Types.LessonListParams(
        employee_id=42,
        from_date=date(2024, 1, 1)
    )
)

Relationship Resolution

participant = session.lesson_participants.retrieve(42)
student = participant.resolve(session).student()

Logging

import logging

# Enable SDK logging with your app's configuration
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Or enable DEBUG logging for SDK only
logging.getLogger("teachworks").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# See the Logging Guide for advanced configuration
