Docs / Using SDK

Sending email with the SDK

The official Python SDK wraps the REST API so you can send email in a couple of lines, without building requests by hand. It is published on PyPI as the postwing package.

Installation

bash

pip install postwing

Authentication

✓

You can get them on the token management page. For security reasons, a token is shown only once — at the moment it is created.

Create the client once with your domain token — the same credentials you use for the SMTP relay and the REST API — and reuse it for every send.

python

from postwing import PostwingSdk

sdk = PostwingSdk(
    username="[email protected]",
    password="your-token",
)

Send a raw email

Use send_simple to send a ready-made message. Pass the recipient, sender, subject and the HTML (or plain-text) body.

python

sdk.send_simple(
    recipient="[email protected]",
    sender="[email protected]",
    subject="Hello",
    body="<h1>Welcome aboard!</h1>",
)

Send a templated email

Use send_tpl to render one of your saved templates by its slug. Provide the language and any placeholder params the template expects.

python

sdk.send_tpl(
    recipient="[email protected]",
    sender="[email protected]",
    tpl="welcome",
    lang="en",
    params={"name": "Alex"},
)

ℹ

Both methods accept an idempotency_key so retries never send a duplicate. For the full request and response shape, see the API reference.
