requirements
python requests library
installation
pip install sendwithus
usage
For all examples, assume:
import sendwithus
api = sendwithus.api(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY')
error handling
By default, the api calls return a response object. However, you can use
sendwithus.api(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY', raise_errors=True)
which will raise the following errors:
AuthenticationError
- Caused by an invalid api keyAPIError
- Caused by an invalid api request (4xx error)ServerError
- Caused by a server error (5xx error)
Errors can be imported from the sendwithus.exceptions
module.
Templates

api.templates()
Create a template
api.create_template(
name='Email Name',
subject='Email Subject',
html='<html><head></head><body>Valid HTML</body></html>',

We validate all HTML and will return an error if it's invalid.
r.status_code
# 400
r.content
# 'email html failed to validate'

where you will find the segment_id
for use in this API.
api.send_segment('tem_12345', 'seg_1245')
Extra Data
You may specify extra data to be merged into the template, alongside the individual customer profiles
api.send_segment('tem_12345', 'seg_12345', email_data={'color': 'blue'})
Render
Render a Template with data
The render API allows you to render a template with data, using the exact same rendering workflow that Sendwithus uses when delivering your email.
api.render('tem_12345', { "amount": "$12.00" }, 'French-Version', strict=False)
