Python Integration

    This library helps with integrating Userlist into Python applications.

    See more details on the customer data structure in our general integration guide.

    Installation

    This library can be installed via pip:

    1

    pip install userlist-python

    Configuration

    The only required configuration is the Push API key. You can get your Push API key via the Push API settings in your Userlist account.

    Configuration values can be set when creating a new push client or via environment variables. The environment takes precedence over values provided during the initialization process.

    Configuration via environment variables

    1

    USERLIST_PUSH_KEY=401e5c498be718c0a38b7da7f1ce5b409c56132a49246c435ee296e07bf2be39

    Configuration during initialization

    from userlist import Userlist

userlist = Userlist(push_key='401e5c498be718c0a38b7da7f1ce5b409c56132a49246c435ee296e07bf2be39')

    Usage

    Before tracking user or event data, create a new push client. If you configured your push key via environment variables there’s nothing to add. Otherwise, see the example above.

    from userlist import Userlist
