A Python client for Mozilla's basket service.

Project description

This is a client for Mozilla’s email subscription service, basket. Basket is not a real subscription service, but it talks to a real one and we don’t really care who/what it is.

There are four API methods: subscribe, unsubscribe, user, and update_user. View the basket documentation for details.

Installation

$ pip install basket-client

Usage

Do you want to subscribe people to Mozilla’s newsletters? All you need to do is:

import basket

basket.subscribe('<email>', '<newsletter>', <kwargs>)

You can pass additional fields as keyword arguments, such as format and country. For a list of available fields and newsletters, see the basket documentation.

Are you checking to see if a user was successfully subscribed? You can use the lookup_user method like so:

import basket

basket.lookup_user(email='<email>', api_key='<api_key>')

And it will return full details about the user. <api_key> is a special token that grants you admin access to the data. Check with the mozilla.org developers to get it.

Settings

BASKET_URL
URL to basket server, e.g. https://basket.mozilla.org
Default: http://localhost:8000
BASKET_API_KEY

The API Key granted to you by the mozilla.org developers so that you can use the lookup_user method with an email address.

BASKET_TIMEOUT
The number of seconds basket client should wait before giving up on the request.
Default: 10

If you’re using Django you can simply add these settings to your settings.py file. Otherwise basket-client will look for these values in an environment variable of the same name.

Tests

To run tests:

$ python setup.py test
