sendsafely
The SendSafely Client API allows programmatic access to SendSafely and provides a layer of abstraction from our REST API, which requires developers to perform several complex tasks in a correct manner.

Yes, if you need SendSafely integration and have valid API credentials. The package is actively maintained, permissively licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. However, the high install friction (source-only distribution) and minimal community adoption (7 repository stars) mean you should test installation in your environment first and verify that any system dependencies are available. For non-SendSafely secure transfer needs, evaluate whether a more widely-adopted alternative exists.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3 or higher and valid SendSafely API credentials (API_KEY and API_SECRET) generated from your SendSafely portal account.
- High install friction: the package is distributed as a source tarball with no prebuilt wheels, requiring compilation or setup tools.
- Maintenance is active with a recent release 22 days ago, but the repository has minimal stars (7), suggesting limited community adoption and review.

What it is and what it does
SendSafely Python API is a client library that wraps the SendSafely REST API, allowing you to programmatically create secure packages, encrypt and upload messages and files, add recipients, and finalize delivery—all without implementing the underlying cryptographic and upload logic yourself. It abstracts away the complexity of direct REST calls by providing high-level Python objects (SendSafely, Package) that handle encryption, upload, and recipient management as methods.
The package is intended for developers integrating SendSafely's secure data transfer service into Python applications. It requires valid API credentials from a SendSafely account and a connection to your company's SendSafely instance. No runtime dependencies are listed, suggesting the package either bundles its own HTTP and crypto libraries or relies only on Python's standard library.
Use it for
- Automate secure file delivery workflows in enterprise applications by programmatically creating and sending encrypted packages.
- Build internal tools that encrypt and upload sensitive documents without exposing raw REST API calls to developers.
- Integrate secure messaging into notification or alert systems that need to send encrypted content to external recipients.
- Create batch operations to send the same encrypted message or file to multiple recipients with a single script.
- Replace manual SendSafely portal uploads with API-driven workflows in data processing pipelines.
