This package provides a simple Python client for interacting with the Ploomes API, designed with rate-limiting and exponential backoff strategies for improved resilience.
You can install the package from PyPI:
pip install ploomes-api-client
To manage contacts, first import the necessary classes and initialize them:
from ploomes_client import PloomesClient as Ploomes
from ploomes_client.collections.contacts import Contacts
ploomes = Ploomes(api_key='your_api_key_here')
contacts = Contacts(ploomes)
Here is a synthetic example to demonstrate how to create a new contact with expanded Phones
and OtherProperties
:
# Define the payload for the new contact
payload = {
"Name": "Jane Doe",
"Email": "janedoe@example.com",
"Phones": [
{"PhoneNumber": "1234567890", "Type": "Mobile"}
],
"OtherProperties": {"FavoriteColor": "Blue", "Occupation": "Engineer"}
}
# Create the contact
response_json = contacts.post_contact(payload, expand="Phones,OtherProperties")
In this example, the post_contact
method sends a POST request to create a new contact in Ploomes. The payload
dictionary contains the data for the new contact, including fields like Name
, Email
, Phones
, and OtherProperties
. We also use the expand
parameter to expand the Phones
and OtherProperties
fields.
By default, the post_contact
method will return a JSON-formatted string as the response.
