Official Python SDK for the NeverBounce API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already bound to this SDK. The package is abandoned (last release August 2020, last commit December 2022) and will not receive updates for modern Python versions or API changes. If you need NeverBounce integration in a new project, contact NeverBounce directly for current SDK recommendations or build a thin wrapper around their v4 API using requests directly.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid NeverBounce API v4 key (format: secret_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx); v3 credentials will not work.
- Low install friction with a single dependency (requests).
- However, the package is abandoned—last commit was 2022-12-07 and no releases since 2020-08-05.

What it is and what it does
The NeverBounce SDK is an official Python client for NeverBounce's email verification API v4. It wraps HTTP calls to the service behind a simple Python interface, allowing you to verify individual email addresses, create and manage bulk verification jobs, and query account information. The library depends only on requests for HTTP communication and can optionally use a custom requests.Session for connection pooling.
The package is mature and stable in its current form, but is no longer maintained—the last commit was in December 2022 and the last release in August 2020. It supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.3–3.7 according to its classifiers, though actual compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified. If your codebase is locked to older Python versions or if you need a stable, read-only integration with NeverBounce's v4 API, this SDK may serve that purpose; for active development or modern Python environments, you should verify compatibility or consider alternatives.
Use it for
- Verify individual email addresses in real time before adding them to a mailing list or user database.
- Create and manage bulk email verification jobs for cleaning large contact lists.
- Query account information and job status to monitor verification progress and credit usage.
- Iterate through paginated search results of past jobs using the built-in ResultIter pagination helper.
- Attach custom metadata to bulk job rows and retrieve it in the results for downstream processing.
