mailjet 1.4.1

Introduction

Mailjet is a real-time Cloud Emailing platform and this is a python library to access the Mailjet Web API.

Installation

• Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/WoLpH/mailjet

• cd into the cloned directory and execute:

python setup.py install.

The settings can be configured from a Django settings file through MAILJET_API_KEY and MAILJET_SECRET_KEY, or through environment variables with the same name.

i.e.

export MAILJET_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'
export MAILJET_SECRET_KEY='YOUR_SECRET_KEY'

Alternatively, you can just pass the API key and Secret key as parameters when initializing the mailjet API as follows:

import mailjet

mailjet_api = mailjet.Api(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', secret_key='YOUR_SECRET_KEY')

Usage

• To get your account and profile information:

import mailjet

mailjet_api = mailjet.Api(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', secret_key='YOUR_SECRET_KEY')
account_info = mailjet_api.user.infos()

acount_info would now be assigned the following python dict:

{
    'status': 'OK',
    'infos': {
        'username': 'user@domain.com',
        'firstname': 'firstname',
        'locale': 'en_US',
        'lastname': 'lastname',
        'company_name': 'company_name',
        'contact_phone': None,
    }
}

• Create a new list of contacts, following on from the previous example:

contact_list = mailjet_api.lists.create(
    label='test',
    name='testlist',  # Only alphanumeric characters are allowed!
    method='POST'
)

contact_list will now contain a dictionary with the status and list id as below:

{
    'status': 'OK',
    'contact_id': 000000000
}

• You can now add contacts to your list using the contact_id:

mailjet_api.lists.addcontact(
    contact='example@example.com',
    id=contact_list['list_id'],
    method='POST'
)
