Quick start

This package is a wrapper of all the resources offered by Novu, we will just start by triggering an event on Novu.

To do this, you will need to:

Create your first notification workflow and keep in mind the identifier to trigger the workflow: https://docs.novu.co/overview/quickstart/general-quickstart#create-a-workflow
Retrieve your API key from the Novu dashboard directly in the settings section: https://web.novu.co/settings
Write code to trigger your first event:

from novu.api import EventApi

event_api = EventApi("https://api.novu.co", "<NOVU_API_KEY>")
event_api.trigger(
    name="<YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID>",  # The workflow ID is the slug of the workflow name. It can be found on the workflow page.
    recipients="<YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_ID>",
    payload={},  # Your Novu payload goes here
)

This will trigger a notification to the subscribers.

Code Snippet Examples

Events

Firstly, make imports and declare the needed variables this way:

from novu.api import EventApi

url = "https://api.novu.co"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

# You can sign up on https://web.novu.co to get your API key from https://web.novu.co/settings

Trigger an event - Send notification to subscribers:

from novu.api import EventApi

novu = EventApi(url, api_key).trigger(
    name="digest-workflow-example",  # This is the Workflow ID. It can be found on the workflow page.
    recipients="<SUBSCRIBER_IDENTIFIER>", # The subscriber ID can be gotten from the dashboard.
    payload={},  # Your custom Novu payload goes here
)

Bulk Trigger events - Trigger multiple events at once:

from novu.dto.event import InputEventDto
from novu.api import EventApi

url = "https://api.novu.co"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

event_1 = InputEventDto(
    name="digest-workflow-example",  # The workflow ID is the slug of the workflow name. It can be found on the workflow page.
    recipients="<SUBSCRIBER_IDENTIFIER>",
    payload={},  # Your custom Novu payload goes here
)
event_2 = InputEventDto(
    name="digest-workflow-example",
    recipients="<SUBSCRIBER_IDENTIFIER>",
    payload={},
)

novu = EventApi("https://api.novu.co", api_key).trigger_bulk(events=[event1, event2])

Broadcast to all current subscribers:

novu = EventApi(url, api_key).broadcast(
    name="digest-workflow-example",
    payload={"customVariable": "value"},  # Optional
)

Subscribers

from novu.dto.subscriber import SubscriberDto
from novu.api.subscriber import SubscriberApi

url = "https://api.novu.co"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

# Define a subscriber instance
subscriber = SubscriberDto(
    email="novu_user@mail.com",
    subscriber_id="82a48af6ac82b3cc2157b57f", #This is what the subscriber_id looks like
    first_name="",  # Optional
    last_name="",  # Optional
    phone="",  # Optional
    avatar="",  # Optional
)

# Create a subscriber
novu = SubscriberApi(url, api_key).create(subscriber)

# Get a subscriber
novu = SubscriberApi(url, api_key).get(subscriber_id)

# Get list of subscribers
novu = SubscriberApi(url, api_key).list()

Topics

from novu.api import TopicApi

url = "<NOVU_URL>"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

# Create a topic
novu = TopicApi(url, api_key).create(
    key="new-customers", name="New business customers"
)

# Get a topic
novu = TopicApi(url, api_key).get(key="new-customers")

# List topics
novu = TopicApi(url, api_key).list()

# Rename a topic
novu = TopicApi(url, api_key).rename(key="new-customers", name="New business customers")

# Subscribe a list of subscribers to a topic
novu = TopicApi(url, api_key).subscribe(key="old-customers", subscribers="<LIST_OF_SUBSCRIBER_IDs>")

# Unsubscribe a list of subscribers from a topic
novu = TopicApi(url, api_key).unsubscribe(key="old-customers", subscribers="<LIST_OF_SUBSCRIBER_IDs>")

Feeds

from novu.api.feed import FeedApi

url = "<NOVU_URL>"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

# Create a Feed
novu = FeedApi(url, api_key).create(name="<SUPPLY_NAME_FOR_FEED>")

# Delete a Feed
FeedApi(url, api_key).delete(feed_id="<FEED_NOVU_INTERNAL_ID>")

# List feeds
novu = FeedApi(url, api_key).list()

Environments

from novu.api.environment import EnvironmentApi

url = "<NOVU_URL>"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

# Create an Environment
novu = EnvironmentApi(url, api_key).create(
    name="<INSERT_NAME>",
    parent_id="<INSERT_PARENT_ID>" # Optional. Defaults to None
)

# # List existing environments
novu = EnvironmentApi(url, api_key).list()

# # Get the current environment
novu = EnvironmentApi(url, api_key).current()

# # Retrieve an environment's API_KEY
novu = EnvironmentApi(url, api_key).api_keys()

Tenants

from novu.api.tenant import TenantApi

url = "<NOVU_URL>"
api_key = "<NOVU_API_KEY>"

# Create an Environment
tenant = TenantApi(url, api_key).create(
    identifier="<INSERT_UNIQUE_TENANT_ID>",
    name="<INSERT_NAME>",
    data={} # Optional. Defaults to {}
)

# List existing tenants
tenants = TenantApi(url, api_key).list()
tenants = TenantApi(url, api_key).list(page=1, limit=10)

# Get a tenant
tenant = TenantApi(url, api_key).get("<TENANT-IDENTIFIER>")

# Patch some field of a tenant
tenant = TenantApi(url, api_key).patch(
    "<CURRENT-TENANT-IDENTIFIER>",
    identifier="<NEW-IDENTIFIER>",
    name="<NEW-NAME>",
    data="<NEW-DATA>"
)

# Delete a tenant
TenantApi(url, api_key).delete("<TENANT-IDENTIFIER>")

After a quick start with the SDK, you'll quickly get to grips with the advanced use of the SDK and the other APIs available.
