What it is and what it does
urbanairship is a Python client library for Airship's REST API, enabling developers to send push notifications, in-app messages, email, and SMS from Python applications. It wraps Airship's HTTP endpoints with a Pythonic interface, handling authentication (including OAuth2 and Bearer Token methods), request serialization, and response parsing.
The library requires Python 3.10 or higher and depends on requests for HTTP transport, six for compatibility utilities, backoff for automatic retry logic, and pyjwt for token handling. It's suitable for backend services, scheduled notification systems, and applications that need to reach users across multiple channels through a single API.
Use it for
- Send targeted push notifications to mobile app users based on segments or tags.
- Deliver transactional SMS or email messages from a web application.
- Build scheduled notification campaigns through Airship's Automation APIs.
- Integrate message center functionality into a customer engagement platform.
- Implement multi-channel messaging (push, email, SMS) in a unified backend service.
