Installation

pip install trysiren

Basic Usage

Synchronous

from siren import SirenClient


# Uses SIREN_API_KEY and SIREN_ENV environment variables
client = SirenClient()

# Send a direct message without template
message_id = client.message.send(
    recipient_value="[e-mail]",
    channel="EMAIL",
    body="Your account has been successfully verified. You can now access all features."
)

# Send a message using a template
message_id = client.message.send(
    recipient_value="U01UBCD06BB",
    channel="SLACK",
    template_name="welcome_template",
    template_variables={"user_name": "John"},
)

# Send a message with specific provider
from siren.models.messaging import ProviderCode
message_id = client.message.send(
    recipient_value="[e-mail]",
    channel="EMAIL",
    body="Your account has been successfully verified.",
    provider_name="email-provider",
    provider_code=ProviderCode.EMAIL_SENDGRID,
)

# Send a message using awesome template
message_id = client.message.send_awesome_template(
    recipient_value="U01UBCD06BB",
    channel="SLACK",
    template_identifier="awesome-templates/customer-support/escalation_required/official/casual.yaml",
    template_variables={
        "ticket_id": "123456",
        "customer_name": "John",
        "issue_summary": "Payment processing issue",
        "ticket_url": "https://support.company.com/ticket/123456",
        "sender_name": "Support Team"
    },
    provider_name="slack-provider",
    provider_code=ProviderCode.SLACK,
)

# You can also do:
client = SirenClient(api_key="YOUR_SIREN_API_KEY") # default env is "prod"

# Or:
client = SirenClient(api_key="YOUR_SIREN_API_KEY", env="dev")

Asynchronous

from siren import AsyncSirenClient

# Using async context manager (recommended)
async with AsyncSirenClient() as client:
    message_id = await client.message.send(
        recipient_value="[e-mail]",
        channel="EMAIL",
        body="Your account has been successfully verified. You can now access all features."
    )

# Or manually managing the client
client = AsyncSirenClient()
try:
    message_id = await client.message.send(
        recipient_value="[e-mail]",
        channel="EMAIL",
        body="Your account has been successfully verified. You can now access all features."
    )
finally:
    await client.aclose()

All synchronous methods have a 1-to-1 asynchronous equivalent—just await them on the async client.

SDK Methods

The Siren Python SDK provides a clean, namespaced interface to interact with the Siren API.

Templates (client.template.*)

• client.template.get() - Retrieves a list of notification templates with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination
• client.template.create() - Creates a new notification template
• client.template.update() - Updates an existing notification template
• client.template.delete() - Deletes an existing notification template
• client.template.publish() - Publishes a template, making its latest draft version live

Channel Templates (client.channel_template.*)

• client.channel_template.create() - Creates or updates channel-specific templates (EMAIL, SMS, etc.)
• client.channel_template.get() - Retrieves channel templates for a specific template version

Messaging (client.message.*)

• client.message.send() - Sends a message (with or without a template) to a recipient via a chosen channel
• client.message.send_awesome_template() - Sends a message using a template path/identifier
• client.message.get_replies() - Retrieves replies for a specific message ID
• client.message.get_status() - Retrieves the status of a specific message (SENT, DELIVERED, FAILED, etc.)

Workflows (client.workflow.*)

• client.workflow.trigger() - Triggers a workflow with given data and notification payloads
• client.workflow.trigger_bulk() - Triggers a workflow in bulk for multiple recipients
• client.workflow.schedule() - Schedules a workflow to run at a future time (once or recurring)

Webhooks (client.webhook.*)

• client.webhook.configure_notifications() - Configures webhook URL for receiving status updates
• client.webhook.configure_inbound() - Configures webhook URL for receiving inbound messages

Users (client.user.*)

• client.user.add() - Creates a new user or updates existing user with given unique_id
• client.user.update() - Updates an existing user's information
• client.user.delete() - Deletes an existing user

For Package Developers

Environment Configuration

For testing the SDK, set these environment variables:

• SIREN_API_KEY: Your API key from the Siren dashboard
• SIREN_ENV: Set to dev for development/testing (defaults to prod)

Prerequisites

• Git
• Python 3.8 or higher
• uv (installed, see uv installation guide)

Setup Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KeyValueSoftwareSystems/siren-py-sdk.git
   cd siren-py-sdk
   

2. Create a virtual environment using uv: This creates an isolated environment in a .venv directory.

   uv venv
   

3. Activate the virtual environment: Commands will now use this environment's Python and packages.

   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   (On Windows, use: .venv\Scripts\activate)

4. Install dependencies with uv: This installs trysiren in editable mode (-e) and all development dependencies (.[dev]).

   uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
   

5. Set up pre-commit hooks: (Ensures code quality before commits)

   uv run pre-commit install
   

   You are now ready to contribute to the trysiren SDK!

   Try $ python examples/messaging_async.py

Code Style & Linting

• Code style is enforced by ruff (linting, formatting, import sorting) and pyright (type checking).
• These tools are automatically run via pre-commit hooks.

Running Tests

To run the test suite, use the following command from the project root directory:

uv run pytest

This will execute all tests defined in the tests/ directory.

Submitting Changes

• Create a feature branch for your changes.
• Commit your changes (pre-commit hooks will run).
• Push your branch and open a Pull Request against the develop repository branch.

Changes planned

• Check how critical is .close() for async client, explore ways to avoid that.
