This is the GitHub repository for the Nylas Python SDK. The repo is primarily for anyone who wants to install the SDK from source or make contributions to it.
If you're looking to use Python to access the Nylas Email, Calendar, or Contacts APIs, see our Python SDK Quickstart guide.
The Nylas platform provides REST APIs for Email, Calendar, and Contacts, and the Python SDK is the quickest way to build your integration using Python.
Here are some resources to help you get started:
- Sign up for a free Nylas account.
- Follow the Nylas API v3 Quickstart guide.
- Browse the Nylas SDK reference docs.
- Browse the Nylas API reference docs.
- See our code samples in the Nylas Samples repo.
If you have any questions about the Nylas platform, please reach out to [email protected].
The Nylas Python SDK is available via pip:
pip install nylas --preTo install the SDK from source, clone this repo and run the install script:
git clone https://github.com/nylas/nylas-python.git && cd nylas-python
python setup.py installBefore you use the Nylas Python SDK, you must first create a Nylas account. Then, follow our API v3 Quickstart guide to set up your first app and get your API keys.
For code samples and example applications, take a look at our Python repos in the Nylas Samples collection.
After you've installed and set up the Nylas Python SDK, you can make your first API request. To do so, use the Client class from the nylas package.
The SDK is organized into different resources, each of which has methods to make requests to the Nylas API. Each resource is available through the Client object that you configured with your API key. For example, you can use this code to get a list of Calendars:
from nylas import Client
nylas = Client(
api_key="API_KEY",
)
calendars, request_id, next_cursor = nylas.calendars.list("GRANT_ID")
event, request_id = nylas.events.create(
identifier="GRANT_ID",
request_body={
"title": "test title",
"description": "test description",
"when": {
"start_time": start_unix_timestamp,
"end_time": end_unix_timestamp,
}
},
query_params={"calendar_id": "primary", "notify_participants": True},
)
)
event, request_id = nylas.events.find(
identifier="GRANT_ID",
event_id=event.id,
query_params={
"calendar_id": "primary",
},
)
nylas.events.destroy("GRANT_ID", event.id, {"calendar_id": "primary"})This SDK makes heavy use of Python 3 dataclasses to define the REST resources and request/response schemas of the Nylas APIs. The Client object is a wrapper around all of these resources and is used to interact with the corresponding APIs. Basic CRUD operations are handled by the create(), find(), list(), update(), and destroy() methods on each resource. Resources may also have other methods which are all detailed in the reference guide for the Python SDK. In the code reference, start at client, and then resources will give more info on available API call methods. models is the place to find schemas for requests, responses, and all Nylas object types.
While most resources are accessed via the top-level Client object, note that auth contains the sub-resource grants as well as a collection of other auth-related API calls.
You'll want to catch nylas.models.errors.NylasAPIError to handle errors.
Have fun!!
See UPGRADE.md for instructions on upgrading from v5.x to v6.x.

It can sometimes be helpful to turn on request logging during development. Adding the following snippet to your code that calls the SDK should get you sorted:
import logging
import requests
# Set up logging to print out HTTP request information
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
requests_log.propagate = True
