ibm-eventnotifications

What it is and what it does

This is the official Python SDK for IBM Cloud Event Notifications, a managed service for routing and delivering event-driven notifications across multiple channels. It wraps the Event Notifications REST API, allowing developers to create and manage notification sources (event origins), topics (logical groupings), destinations (delivery channels), subscriptions (topic-to-destination mappings), and templates. The SDK handles authentication via IBM Cloud IAM and supports both public and private endpoint configurations.

Typical usage involves instantiating an EventNotificationsV1 client with IAM credentials, then calling methods to configure notification infrastructure. The library abstracts HTTP details and response parsing, returning structured Python objects. It depends only on ibm_cloud_sdk_core for authentication and HTTP transport, keeping the dependency footprint minimal.

Use it for:

• Create notification sources, topics, and subscriptions to route infrastructure events to email, SMS, or webhook destinations.
• Configure and manage SMTP settings for email notifications, including user creation and IP whitelisting.
• Build notification templates and apply them across subscriptions to standardize message formatting.
• Monitor notification delivery by retrieving metrics for specific destination types or SMTP configurations.
• Integrate third-party event sources with IBM Cloud by creating notification sources.
• Test destination connectivity before deploying production notification workflows.
