Trigv Python SDK

Official Python client for the Trigv workspace ingest API. Send push notification events from scripts, cron jobs, CI pipelines, and backend services.

Installation

pip install trigv

Requires Python 3.10 or newer. No runtime dependencies beyond the standard library.

Quick start

from trigv import Trigv

trigv = Trigv()

result = trigv.send_event(
    {
        "channel": "general",
        "title": "Hello from Python",
    }
)

print(result.event.public_id)

Authentication

Create a workspace ingest API key in the Trigv dashboard. Keys look like trgv_a1b2c3d4_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Pass the key when constructing the client, or set the TRIGV_API_KEY environment variable:

from trigv import Trigv

trigv = Trigv(api_key="trgv_your_api_key")

Never commit API keys to source control. The SDK does not include your key in error messages or logs.

Sending an event

result = trigv.send_event(
    {
        "channel": "deploys",
        "title": "Production deploy complete",
        "description": "Build #42 succeeded in 38s (commit abc1234)",
        "level": "success",
        "event_type": "deploy.completed",
    }
)

print(result.event.public_id, result.event.status)

send_event() returns a SendEventResult with:

• event — server metadata (public_id, status, target_device_count, etc.)
• duplicate — True when the same idempotency_key was already accepted (HTTP 200)

Title, description, and image URL are delivered to devices but are not stored server-side.

Event options

Field	Required	Description
channel	Yes	Channel slug (e.g. general, deploys)
title	Yes	Notification title
description	No	Body text (max 1000 characters)
image_url	No	HTTPS image URL (max 2048 characters)
url	No	Destination URL for the notification (max 2048 characters; not stored server-side)
level	No	info, success, warning, or error (default: info)
delivery_urgency	No	standard or time_sensitive (default: standard)
event_type	No	Free-form label (e.g. deploy.completed)
idempotency_key	No	Dedup key per workspace (max 190 characters)

Prohibited fields: api_key (use the Authorization header), icon.

Levels

Level	Use case
info	General updates (default)
success	Completed jobs, successful deploys
warning	Degraded service, retries
error	Failures requiring attention

Delivery urgency

Value	Behaviour
standard	Normal delivery (default)
time_sensitive	iOS time-sensitive interruption level

Idempotency

Set idempotency_key to safely retry delivery without creating duplicate events or billing twice:

result = trigv.send_event(
    {
        "channel": "deploys",
        "title": "Production deploy complete",
        "idempotency_key": "deploy-prod-42",
    }
)

if result.duplicate:
    print("Already sent:", result.event.public_id)

• First request with a key → HTTP 202, duplicate=False, usage billed
• Retry with the same key → HTTP 200, duplicate=True, no additional usage

Without an idempotency_key, the SDK does not auto-retry send_event() on ambiguous failures.

Error handling

from trigv import (
    AuthenticationError,
    AuthorizationError,
    NotFoundError,
    RateLimitError,
    Trigv,
    ValidationError,
)

trigv = Trigv()

try:
    trigv.send_event({"channel": "general", "title": "Hello"})
except ValidationError as exc:
    print(exc.errors)
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Check your API key")
except NotFoundError:
    print("Channel does not exist")
except RateLimitError as exc:
    if exc.retryable:
        print("Per-minute limit — retry shortly")
    else:
        print("Monthly workspace cap reached")

Exception	When
ValidationError	Client-side validation or HTTP 422
AuthenticationError	HTTP 401
AuthorizationError	HTTP 403
NotFoundError	HTTP 404 (e.g. unknown channel)
RateLimitError	HTTP 429 (retryable distinguishes burst vs monthly cap)
ApiError	Other HTTP errors
NetworkError	Connection failure
TimeoutError	Request timeout

Configuration

trigv = Trigv(
    api_key="trgv_your_api_key",
    base_url="https://api.trigv.com/api",  # default
    timeout=30.0,                          # seconds
    max_retries=2,                         # retryable errors only
)

For local development with Laravel Herd:

trigv = Trigv(base_url="http://trigv-platform.test/api")

Verify connection

Check that your API key is valid without sending an event or consuming usage:

connection = trigv.verify_connection()
print(connection.workspace.name)
print(connection.api_key.prefix)

Examples

See the examples/ directory:

• basic.py — minimal event
• deploy-completed.py — canonical deploy notification
• cron-failed.py — scheduled job failure
• idempotency.py — safe retries with idempotency keys

Development

git clone https://github.com/Trigv/trigv-python.git
cd trigv-python
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Or with PEP 735 dependency groups:

pip install pytest ruff black hatchling
pip install -e .

Testing

pytest
ruff check src tests examples
black --check src tests examples

Tests use a mocked HTTP transport — no live API key required.
