# smooch — Smooch

License: unclear · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 125.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Smooch is an auto-generated Python client library for the Smooch messaging API, built from Swagger/OpenAPI specifications. It wraps HTTP communication to the Smooch backend, allowing you to programmatically manage customer conversations across multiple channels from a single interface.

The package depends on four standard HTTP and utility libraries: urllib3 for HTTP requests, certifi for SSL certificates, python-dateutil for timestamp handling, and six for Python 2/3 compatibility. It was last updated on 2021-03-04 and has received no maintenance since. The package has no known vulnerabilities but is no longer actively developed.

Use it for:

- Integrate Smooch messaging into a Python backend to send and receive customer messages across multiple channels programmatically.
- Build automation workflows that read customer conversations from Smooch and trigger actions in your own systems.
- Manage customer contact lists, conversation metadata, and message history through the Smooch API from Python code.
- Create chatbots or conversational agents that interact with customers through Smooch's unified messaging platform.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides a Python client for the Smooch API, enabling programmatic access to unified messaging across multiple customer communication channels.

No. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-03-04, no commits since) and carries unclear licensing. While install friction is low and there are no known vulnerabilities, the lack of maintenance means no support for API changes, security patches, or Python version updates. Use only if maintaining legacy code already tied to this specific version.

## Install

pip install smooch
uv add smooch
poetry add smooch

## Installing smooch

Before you install: Low install friction with standard HTTP and utility dependencies. However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2021-03-04, over 1989 days ago. No active maintenance or security updates are being provided.

License in practice: License status is unclear; the package metadata contains no license declaration. This ambiguity may create legal risk if you plan to use it in a commercial or proprietary context.

Quickstart:

pip install smooch

import smooch
# Initialize client with credentials and make API calls
client = smooch.ApiClient()

Python version support is unspecified in the package metadata; verify compatibility with your target Python version before deployment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the Smooch API itself remains operational and whether this client is compatible with current API versions
- What the actual license of this package is, given the unclear metadata
- Whether any of the four runtime dependencies have known vulnerabilities or compatibility issues with modern Python
