CutMeShort CMS Python SDK

The CutMeShort Python SDK enables you to track lead and sales events in your Python applications with ease.

It provides a clean and simple interface for:

• Lead tracking
• Deferred lead attribution (mode="deferred")
• Sale / purchase tracking

---

Installation

Install from PyPI (recommended)

pip install cms-python-client

Install from GitHub

pip install git+https://github.com/CutMeShort/cms-python-client.git

---

📋 Requirements

• Python 3.9+

---

Setup

Set your Bearer token:

export CMS_BEARER_TOKEN="your_jwt_token"

---

⚡ Quick Start

import os
from cms_python import CMSClient

client = CMSClient(token=os.environ["CMS_BEARER_TOKEN"])

response = client.track_lead(
    click_id="id_123",
    event_name="signup_started",
    customer_external_id="user_42",
)

print(response)

---

What is Deferred Attribution?

Deferred attribution allows you to track a click before knowing the customer identity.

Flow:

1. First Call (store association)

   • Send click_id + mode="deferred"

2. Later Calls

   • Send normal events without click_id
   • Backend automatically resolves mapping

Example Use Case

User clicks an ad → later signs up → events get linked automatically.

)

Track a Sale Event

from cms_python import CMSClient

client = CMSClient(token="your_jwt_token")
