​
Installation

​
PIP

PIP is the default package installer for Python, enabling easy installation and management of packages from PyPI via the command line.

pip install novu-py

​
Poetry

Poetry is a modern tool that simplifies dependency management and package publishing by using a single pyproject.toml file to handle project metadata and dependencies.

poetry add novu-py

​
Shell and script usage with uv

You can use this SDK in a Python shell with uv and the uvx command that comes with it like so:

uvx --from novu-py python

It’s also possible to write a standalone Python script without needing to set up a whole project like so:

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.9"
# dependencies = [
#     "novu-py",
# ]
# ///

from novu_py import Novu

sdk = Novu(
  # SDK arguments
)

# Rest of script here...

Once that is saved to a file, you can run it with uv run script.py wherescript.py can be replaced with the actual file name.

Usage

# Synchronous Example
import novu_py
from novu_py import Novu
import os

with Novu(
    secret_key=os.getenv("NOVU_SECRET_KEY", ""),
) as novu:

    res = novu.trigger(trigger_event_request_dto=novu_py.TriggerEventRequestDto(
        workflow_id="workflow_identifier",
        to={
            "subscriber_id": "subscriber_unique_identifier",
            "first_name": "Albert",
            "last_name": "Einstein",
            "email": "albert@einstein.com",
        },
        payload={
            "comment_id": "string",
            "post": {
                "text": "string",
            },
        },
        overrides={
          "email": {
            "bcc": "no-reply@novu.co"
          }
        },
    ))

    # Handle response
    print(res)

# Asynchronous Example
import asyncio
import novu_py
from novu_py import Novu
import os

async def main():
    async with Novu(
        secret_key=os.getenv("NOVU_SECRET_KEY", ""),
    ) as novu:

        res = await novu.trigger_async(trigger_event_request_dto=novu_py.TriggerEventRequestDto(
            workflow_id="workflow_identifier",
            to={
                "subscriber_id": "subscriber_unique_identifier",
                "first_name": "Albert",
                "last_name": "Einstein",
                "email": "albert@einstein.com",
            },
            payload={
                "comment_id": "string",
                "post": {
                    "text": "string",
                },
            },
            overrides={
              "email": {
                "bcc": "no-reply@novu.co",
              }
            },
        ))

        # Handle response
        print(res)

asyncio.run(main())
