    "scheduledAt": scheduled_time,
})

Batch Emails

emails = [
    {
        "to": "[e-mail]",
        "from": "[e-mail]",
        "subject": "Hello User 1",

    },
]

data, error = client.emails.batch(emails)

if error:
    print(f"Error: {error}")
else:
    print(f"Sent {len(data['emails'])} emails")

Managing Emails

Get Email Details

data, error = client.emails.get("email_id")

if error:
    print(f"Error: {error}")
else:
    print(f"Email status: {data['status']}")

Update Email

data, error = client.emails.update("email_id", {
    "subject": "Updated subject",
    "html": "<p>Updated content</p>",
})

Cancel Scheduled Email

data, error = client.emails.cancel("email_id")

if error:
    print(f"Error: {error}")
else:
    print("Email cancelled successfully")

Managing Contacts

Create Contact

data, error = client.contacts.create("contact_book_id", {
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "metadata": {
        "company": "Acme Inc",
        "role": "Developer"
    }
})

Get Contact

data, error = client.contacts.get("contact_book_id", "contact_id")

Update Contact

data, error = client.contacts.update("contact_book_id", "contact_id", {
    "firstName": "Jane",
    "metadata": {
        "role": "Senior Developer"
    }
})

Upsert Contact

# Creates if doesn't exist, updates if exists
data, error = client.contacts.upsert("contact_book_id", "contact_id", {
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
})

Delete Contact

data, error = client.contacts.delete(
    book_id="contact_book_id",
    contact_id="contact_id"
)

Managing Domains

List Domains

data, error = client.domains.list()

if error:
    print(f"Error: {error}")
else:
    for domain in data:
        print(f"Domain: {domain['domain']}, Status: {domain['status']}")

Create Domain

data, error = client.domains.create({
    "domain": "example.com"
})

Verify Domain

data, error = client.domains.verify(domain_id=123)

if error:
    print(f"Error: {error}")
else:
    print(f"Verification status: {data['status']}")

Get Domain

data, error = client.domains.get(domain_id=123)

Error Handling

By default, the SDK raises exceptions on HTTP errors:

from unsent import unsent, unsentHTTPError

client = unsent("us_12345")

try:
    data, error = client.emails.send({
        "to": "invalid-email",
        "from": "[e-mail]",
        "subject": "Test",
        "html": "<p>Test</p>",
    })
except unsentHTTPError as e:
    print(f"HTTP {e.status_code}: {e.error['message']}")

To disable automatic error raising:

client = unsent("us_12345", raise_on_error=False)

data, error = client.emails.send({
    "to": "[e-mail]",
    "from": "[e-mail]",
    "subject": "Test",
    "html": "<p>Test</p>",
})

if error:
    print(f"Error: {error['message']}")
else:
    print("Success!")

Custom Session

For advanced use cases, you can provide your own requests.Session:

import requests
from unsent import unsent

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False  # Not recommended for production!

client = unsent("us_12345", session=session)
