trycourier

This Python Package helps you send notifications through Courier, the smartest way to design & deliver notifications. Design your notifications once using our drag & drop editor, then deliver to any channel through one API. Email, mobile push, SMS, Slack — you name it!

Installation

Install from PyPI using pip:

$ pip install trycourier

Python 3.5 or later is required.

Usage

Using Token Auth

from trycourier import Courier

client = Courier(auth_token="your-auth-token") #or set via COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var

resp = client.send(
    event="your-event-id",
    recipient="your-recipient-id",
    profile={
        "email": "example@example.com",
        "phone_number": "555-867-5309"
    },
    data={
      "world": "Python!"
    }
)
print(resp['messageId'])

Using Basic Auth

from trycourier import Courier

client = Courier(username="your-username", password="your-password")

resp = client.send(
    event="your-event-id",
    recipient="your-recipient-id",
    profile={
        "email": "example@example.com",
        "phone_number": "555-867-5309"
    },
    data={
      "world": "Python!"
    }
)
print(resp['messageId'])

Timeouts

As of v1.4.0, the timeout is defaulted to 5 seconds. This is configurable using the timeout parameter when creating a client. You can specify the time in seconds using a float value for both Connect and Read or use a tuple to set them for each individual one (Connect, Read).

client = Courier(auth_token="your-auth-token",
                 timeout=3.5)

client = Courier(auth_token="your-auth-token",
                 timeout=(3.2, 3.3))

Idempotency

For POST methods, you can supply an idempotency_key to ensure the idempotency of the API Call. We recommend that you use a V4 UUID for the key. By default, keys are eligible to be removed from the system after they're at least 24 hours old, and a new request is generated if a key is reused after the original has been removed.

Also, the expiration of an idempotency key can be altered by setting a idempotency_expiration header value. The value of this header can be either epoch milliseconds or an ISO-8601 formatted date string. The minimum value that can be set is 24 hours. The maximum value that can be set is 1 year.

import uuid
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from trycourier import Courier

client = Courier()

idempotency_key = uuid.uuid4()
expiration = (datetime.now()+timedelta(days=7)).isoformat()

resp = client.send(
    event="your-event-id",
    recipient="your-recipient-id",
    profile={
        "email": "example@example.com",
        "phone_number": "555-867-5309"
    },
    data={
      "world": "Python!"
    },
    idempotency_key=idempotency_key,
    idempotency_expiration=expiration
)
print(resp['messageId'])
