Python

Send your first message from a Python project with the official Postwick library.

Add the Postwick Python SDK to this project, read POSTWICK_API_KEY from the environment and send a test email to delivered@postwick.dev.

Prerequisites

Before you begin you need:

• A Postwick API key

• A verified sending domain

Guide

1. Install

   Add the library to your project.

   pip install postwick

2. Store your API key

   Keep the key out of source control by putting it in an environment variable.

   POSTWICK_API_KEY=pw_live_4f9c2e7a1b

3. Send an email

   The smallest useful call takes a sender, a recipient, a subject and a body.

   import os
   import postwick
   
   postwick.api_key = os.environ["POSTWICK_API_KEY"]
   
   email = postwick.Emails.send({
       "from": "Lumen <hello@mail.lumen.dev>",
       "to": ["ada@example.com"],
       "subject": "Your receipt from Lumen",
       "html": "<p>Thanks for your order, Ada.</p>",
   })
   print(email["id"])
