Python 3 SDK added to Paubox Email API

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.

Installation

Getting Paubox API Credentials

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.

Usage

Sending Messages with the Paubox Mail Helper

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)

Sending Messages without the Mail Helper Class

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": {
                "text/plain": "Hello World!",
            }
        }
    }
}
response = paubox_client.send(mail)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)
