ByteSend Python SDK

A minimal Python SDK for the ByteSend API, mirroring the structure of the JavaScript SDK.

Installation

Install via pip or Poetry:

pip install bytesend
# or
poetry add bytesend

Usage

from bytesend import ByteSend, types

# By default: raises ByteSendHTTPError on non-2xx.
client = ByteSend("bs_123")

# 1) TypedDict payload (autocomplete in IDEs). Use dict to pass 'from'.
payload: types.EmailCreate = {
    "to": "test@example.com",
    "from": "no-reply@example.com",
    "subject": "Hello",
    "html": "<strong>Hi!</strong>",
}
resp, _ = client.emails.send(payload=payload)

# 2) Or pass a plain dict (supports 'from')
resp, _ = client.emails.send(payload={
    "to": "test@example.com",
    "from": "no-reply@example.com",
    "subject": "Hello",
    "html": "<strong>Hi!</strong>",
})

# Idempotent retries: same payload + same key returns the original response
resp, _ = client.emails.send(
    payload=payload,
    options={"idempotency_key": "signup-123"},
)

# Works for batch requests as well
resp, _ = client.emails.batch(
    payload=[payload],
    options={"idempotency_key": "bulk-welcome-1"},
)
# If the same key is reused with a different payload, the API responds with HTTP 409.

# 3) Campaigns
campaign_payload: types.CampaignCreate = {
    "name": "Welcome Series",
    "subject": "Welcome to our service!",
    "html": "<p>Thanks for joining us!</p>",
    "from": "welcome@example.com",
    "contactBookId": "cb_1234567890",
}
campaign_resp, _ = client.campaigns.create(payload=campaign_payload)

# Schedule a campaign
schedule_payload: types.CampaignSchedule = {
    "scheduledAt": "2024-12-01T10:00:00Z",
}
schedule_resp, _ = client.campaigns.schedule(
    campaign_id=campaign_resp["id"],
    payload=schedule_payload
)

# Pause/resume campaigns
client.campaigns.pause(campaign_id="campaign_123")
client.campaigns.resume(campaign_id="campaign_123")

# Toggle behavior if desired:
# - raise_on_error=False: return (None, error_dict) instead of raising
# No model parsing occurs; methods return plain dicts following the typed shapes.
client = ByteSend("bs_123", raise_on_error=False)
raw, err = client.emails.get(email_id="email_123")
if err:
    print("error:", err)
else:
    print("ok:", raw)

Webhook Local Example

For a runnable webhook verification demo project, see:

• example/webhook-test-project/README.md

Development

This package is managed with Poetry. Models are maintained in-repo under bytesend/types.py (readable names). Update this file as the API evolves.

It is published as bytesend on PyPI.

Available Resources

• Emails: client.emails.send(), client.emails.get()
• ContactBooks: client.contact_books.list(), client.contact_books.create(), client.contact_books.get(), client.contact_books.update()
• Contacts: client.contacts.create(), client.contacts.list(), client.contacts.get(), client.contacts.bulk_create(), client.contacts.bulk_delete()
• Domains: client.domains.create(), client.domains.get(), client.domains.verify()
• Campaigns: client.campaigns.create(), client.campaigns.get(), client.campaigns.schedule(), client.campaigns.pause(), client.campaigns.resume(), client.campaigns.delete()

Notes

• Human-friendly models are available under bytesend.types (e.g., EmailCreate, CampaignCreate, Contact, APIError).
• Endpoint methods accept TypedDict payloads or plain dicts via the payload= keyword.
