The super-mega-official Python package for using the SparkPost API.

Install from PyPI using pip:

$ pip install sparkpost

Go to API & SMTP in the SparkPost app and create an API key. We recommend using the SPARKPOST_API_KEY environment variable:

from sparkpost import SparkPost
sp = SparkPost() # uses environment variable

Alternatively, you can pass the API key to the SparkPost class:

from sparkpost import SparkPost
sp = SparkPost('YOUR API KEY')

Here at SparkPost, our messages are known as transmissions. Let's use the underlying transmissions API to send a friendly test message:

from sparkpost import SparkPost

sp = SparkPost()

response = sp.transmission.send(
    recipients=['someone@somedomain.com'],
    html='<p>Hello world</p>',
    from_email='test@sparkpostbox.com',
    subject='Hello from python-sparkpost'
)

print response
# outputs {u'total_accepted_recipients': 1, u'id': u'47960765679942446', u'total_rejected_recipients': 0}
