This month we released SDK support for Python 3 for Paubox Email API. It should be noted we created a new project repo for Python 3. Our Python 2 SDK is still available. As a recap, Paubox Email API allows developers to programmatically send HIPAA compliant email and track delivery status. Paubox Email API is HITRUST CSF certified. By adding client library support for languages like Python, programmers can integrate and deliver secure email within minutes via our REST API. Let's dive into a quick example.
You will need to have a Paubox account. You can sign up for free here. Once you have an account, follow the instructions on the Paubox Email API dashboard to verify domain ownership and generate API credentials.

Include your API credentials in a config file (e.g. config.cfg)
PAUBOX_HOST: 'https://api.paubox.net/v1/YOUR_ENDPOINT_NAME' PAUBOX_API_KEY: 'YOUR_API_KEY'Next install config package using pip to load API credentials from config.cfg file:
$ pip3 install config
$ pip3 install paubox-python3
Sending via Paubox is easy. This is the minimum content needed to send an email.
import paubox
from paubox.helpers.mail import Mail
from config import Config
with open("config.cfg") as config_file:
paubox_config = Config(config_file)
paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient(paubox_config.PAUBOX_API_KEY, paubox_config.PAUBOX_HOST)
recipients = ["recipient@example.com"]
from_ = "sender@yourdomain.com"
subject = "Testing!"
content = {"text/plain": "Hello World!"}
mail = Mail(from_, subject, recipients, content)
response = paubox_client.send(mail.get())
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)
import paubox
from config import Config
with open("config.cfg") as config_file:
paubox_config = Config(config_file)
paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient(paubox_config.PAUBOX_API_KEY, paubox_config.PAUBOX_HOST)
mail = {
"data": {
"message": {
"recipients": [
"recipient@example.com"
],
"headers": {
"subject": "Testing!",
"from": "sender@yourdomain.com"
},
"content": {

}
}
}
response = paubox_client.send(mail)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)
