Stytch Python Library

The Stytch Python library makes it easy to use the Stytch user infrastructure API in Python applications.

It pairs well with the Stytch Web SDK or your own custom authentication flow.

Requirements

The Stytch Python library supports Python 3.7+

Installation

pip install stytch

Usage

You can find your API credentials in the Stytch Dashboard.

This client library supports all of Stytch's live products:

• Email Magic Links
• Embeddable Magic Links
• OAuth logins
• SMS passcodes
• WhatsApp passcodes
• Email passcodes
• Session Management
• WebAuthn
• Time-based one-time passcodes (TOTPs)
• Crypto wallets
• Passwords

Example usage

Create an API client:

import stytch

client = stytch.Client(
    project_id="project-live-c60c0abe-c25a-4472-a9ed-320c6667d317",
    secret="secret-live-80JASucyk7z_G8Z-7dVwZVGXL5NT_qGAQ2I=",
    environment="test",
)

Send a magic link by email:

login_or_create_resp = client.magic_links.email.login_or_create(
    email="[email protected]",
    login_magic_link_url="https://example.com/authenticate",
    signup_magic_link_url="https://example.com/authenticate",
)
# Responses are fully-typed `pydantic` objects
print(login_or_create_resp)

Authenticate the token from the magic link:

auth_resp = client.magic_links.authenticate(
    token="DOYoip3rvIMMW5lgItikFK-Ak1CfMsgjuiCyI7uuU94=",
)
print(auth_resp)

Async support

Every endpoint supports an async version which you can use by appending _async to the method name. You can use the same Client object for sync and async methods. The above example of sending and authenticating an magic link can be rewritten as:

login_or_create_resp = await client.magic_links.email.login_or_create_async(
    email="[email protected]",
    login_magic_link_url="https://example.com/authenticate",
    signup_magic_link_url="https://example.com/authenticate",
)
print(login_or_create_resp)

auth_resp = await client.magic_links.authenticate(
    token="DOYoip3rvIMMW5lgItikFK-Ak1CfMsgjuiCyI7uuU94=",
)
print(resp)

Handling Errors

Structured errors from the Stytch API will raise StytchError exceptions. You can view the details of the error through the .details property of the StytchError exception.

from stytch.core.models import StytchError

try:
    auth_resp = await client.magic_links.authenticate_async(token="token")
except StytchError as error:
    # Handle Stytch errors here
    if error.details.error_type == "invalid_token":
        print("Whoops! Try again?")
except Exception as error:
    # Handle other errors here
    pass

Learn more about errors in the docs.
