License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 161.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

contentful_management is a Python SDK that wraps Contentful's Management API, allowing developers to programmatically manage content infrastructure without using Contentful's web interface. It provides object-oriented access to spaces, environments, assets, content entries, memberships, and organizations, supporting full CRUD operations and batch queries.

The package is built on requests and python-dateutil, making it lightweight and straightforward to integrate into existing Python applications. It targets modern Python versions (3.8 and later) and is actively maintained, with examples covering common workflows like retrieving spaces, creating assets, managing memberships, and querying usage statistics for committed customers.

Use it for:

- Automate bulk content uploads or migrations into Contentful from external sources.
- Build deployment pipelines that programmatically create or update content environments and spaces.
- Manage team memberships and access control across Contentful organizations via code.
- Monitor API usage and billing metrics for organizations with committed plans.
- Integrate Contentful content operations into custom backend services or CI/CD workflows.
