## What it is and what it does

Brevo-python is the official SDK for the Brevo marketing and communication platform, wrapping HTTP calls to Brevo's REST API into typed Python objects. It handles transactional email, SMS, contact management, campaigns, events, and loyalty programs through a clean client interface. The package uses httpx for HTTP transport and pydantic for request/response validation, ensuring type safety across modern Python versions (3.8 through 3.15).

The SDK offers both synchronous and asynchronous clients (Brevo and AsyncBrevo) with built-in retry logic, timeout control, and raw response access. Version 5.0.2 is a major release with breaking changes aimed at making API names and shapes more self-descriptive; it remains backward-compatible with v4.x if pinned. The package is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

- Send templated transactional emails with dynamic parameters to users (order confirmations, password resets)
- Manage contact lists and CRM data programmatically (create, update, fetch contact records)
- Trigger SMS campaigns and track delivery status for time-sensitive notifications
- Batch create events for loyalty programs or customer engagement tracking
- Build async workflows that send emails or SMS without blocking application execution

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Official Python SDK for the Brevo API, providing typed client access to email, SMS, marketing automation, and CRM endpoints with sync and async support.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, supports modern Python versions, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The only caveat is the unclear license—verify it aligns with your project's requirements before committing. If you are already using Brevo's API, this official SDK is the right choice over manual HTTP calls.

## Install

pip install brevo-python
uv add brevo-python
poetry add brevo-python

## Installing brevo-python

Before you install: Low friction install with four lightweight runtime dependencies (httpx, pydantic, pydantic-core, typing_extensions). Actively maintained with a release 4 days old and recent commits; suitable for production use.

License in practice: License treatment is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available in the package metadata. Verify the actual license before use in proprietary or restricted contexts.

Quickstart:

pip install brevo-python

from brevo import Brevo
from brevo.transactional_emails import SendTransacEmailRequestSender, SendTransacEmailRequestToItem

client = Brevo(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
client.transactional_emails.send_transac_email(
    html_content="Hello {{params.name}}",
    params={"name": "World"},
    sender=SendTransacEmailRequestSender(email="hello@brevo.com", name="Brevo"),
    subject="Test",
    to=[SendTransacEmailRequestToItem(email="user@example.com")]
)

Verify before relying:

- Whether the unclear license is MIT, Apache 2.0, or another permissive open-source license (check GitHub repo directly)
- Whether v5's breaking changes (renamed parameters, response shape changes) affect your existing Brevo API call patterns
