Learn how to integrate Mailtrap with Python apps and projects for email sending using SDK, SMTP, and RESTful API.

Mailtrap Python SDK on GitHub

Overview

Mailtrap can be integrated with Python apps and projects for email sending purposes.

Email API/SMTP for Python

SDK Integration

The Mailtrap Python SDK is a Pythonic library for sending transactional and bulk emails with full type hints support. The SDK supports:

• Transactional email sending

• Batch email sending

• Template management

• Contact management

• Sandbox testing

• Account management

• Type hints for better IDE support

Installation

Install the SDK using pip:

pip

pip install mailtrap

Minimal Example

Here's a minimal example to send your first email:

send_email.py

import mailtrap as mt

API_TOKEN = "<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"  # your API key here https://mailtrap.io/settings/api-tokens

client = mt.MailtrapClient(token=API_TOKEN)

# Create mail object
mail = mt.Mail(
    sender=mt.Address(email="[email protected]", name="John Smith"),
    to=[mt.Address(email="[email protected]")],
    subject="You are awesome!",
    text="Congrats for sending test email with Mailtrap!",
)

client.send(mail)

Get your API token from your Mailtrap account under Settings → API Tokens.

SMTP Integration

To integrate SMTP with your Python app, navigate to the Integrations tab, choose the desired Python framework, and copy-paste the credentials or ready-made code snippets.

SMTP integration is compatible with any Python framework or library that sends emails using SMTP.

For more information read the SMTP Integration article.

RESTful API Integration

To integrate Mailtrap using RESTful API, use the configuration available among Code samples under the API section.

API integration can be used with any Python framework or library that supports HTTP requests. For more details, refer to the API documentation.
