Getting Started with Python

Safe API Key Storage

In a production setup, do not store API Keys in the host's environment variables or in the source code.

Overview

The Opportify SDK gives your Python application access to the full Opportify platform:

Product	Purpose
Email Insights	Validate, enrich, and score email addresses
IP Insights	Geolocate, enrich, and assess risk for IP addresses
Fraud Protection	Analyze form submissions for fraud risk across email, IP, geo, session, and velocity signals

All products share a common API key and the same SDK installation.

Base URLs

Product	Base URL
Email & IP Insights	https://api.opportify.ai/insights/v1
Fraud Protection	https://api.opportify.ai/intel/v1

Requirements

Requires Python v3.8 or later

Getting Started

First, install Opportify via the pip package manager:

pip install opportify-sdk

Calling Email Insights

from opportify_sdk import EmailInsights

email_insights = EmailInsights("YOUR-API-KEY-HERE")

params = {
    "email": "test@gmial.com",  # *gmial* - just an example to be auto-corrected
    "enableAI": True,  # optional (default: True) — enable AI-powered risk analysis
    "enableAutoCorrection": True,
    "enableDomainEnrichment": True  # Optional: include domain enrichment block
}

result = email_insights.analyze(params)

Calling IP Insights

from opportify_sdk import IpInsights

ip_insights = IpInsights("<YOUR-KEY-HERE>")

params = {
    "ip": "3.1.122.82",
    "enableAI": True  # optional (default: True) — enable AI-powered risk analysis
}

result = ip_insights.analyze(params)

Calling Fraud Protection

The Python SDK uses analyze_fraud() for Fraud Protection (rather than the generic analyze() used for Email/IP Insights).

from opportify_sdk import FraudProtection

fraud_protection = FraudProtection("<YOUR-KEY-HERE>")

params = {
    "email": "user@example.com",        # At least one of email or userIp is required
    "userIp": "1.2.3.4",
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "origin": "example.com",            # Hostname of the page the form was submitted on
    "submissionType": "registration",   # E.g. registration, contactForm, checkout
    "formData": {                        # Optional: any additional form fields
        "custom_field": "value"
    }
}

result = fraud_protection.analyze_fraud(params)

Batch Analysis (Email & IP)

You can submit multiple emails or IPs in a single request. Batch jobs are processed asynchronously; the response returns a job identifier (job_id) you can poll for status.

1. Batch Email Analysis (JSON)

from opportify_sdk import EmailInsights

email_insights = EmailInsights("<YOUR-KEY-HERE>")

params = {
    'emails': [
        'one@example.com',
        'two@example.org'
    ],
    'name': 'Customer Email Validation',  # Optional: descriptive name for the job
    'enableAI': True,
    'enableAutoCorrection': True
}

# Default content type is application/json
batch = email_insights.batch_analyze(params)

# Optional: poll status later
status = email_insights.get_batch_status(batch['job_id'])

2. Batch Email Analysis (Plain Text)

Provide one email per line and set the content type to text/plain.

content = "one@example.com\nTwo.User@example.org"  # newline-delimited emails
batch = email_insights.batch_analyze({'text': content}, 'text/plain')
status = email_insights.get_batch_status(batch['job_id'])

3. Batch Email Analysis (File Upload)

Supply a .csv (one email per row; header optional) via batch_analyze_file(). A .csv triggers multipart/form-data; other extensions fall back to text/plain (newline-delimited body).

batch = email_insights.batch_analyze_file('emails.csv', {
    'name': 'Monthly Email Cleanup',  # Optional: descriptive name for the job
    'enableAI': True,
    'enableAutoCorrection': True
})
status = email_insights.get_batch_status(batch['job_id'])

4. Batch IP Analysis (JSON)

from opportify_sdk import IpInsights

ip_insights = IpInsights("<YOUR-KEY-HERE>")

params = {
    'ips': [
        '1.1.1.1',
        '8.8.8.8'
    ],
    'name': 'Network Security Scan',  # Optional: descriptive name for the job
    'enableAI': True
}

batch = ip_insights.batch_analyze(params)  # application/json
status = ip_insights.get_batch_status(batch['job_id'])

5. Batch IP Analysis (Plain Text)

content = "1.1.1.1\n8.8.8.8"  # newline-delimited IPs
batch = ip_insights.batch_analyze({'text': content}, 'text/plain')
status = ip_insights.get_batch_status(batch['job_id'])

6. Batch IP Analysis (File Upload)

batch = ip_insights.batch_analyze_file('ips.csv', {
    'name': 'Firewall IP Assessment',  # Optional: descriptive name for the job
    'enableAI': True
})
status = ip_insights.get_batch_status(batch['job_id'])

Convenience & Notes

• batch_analyze_file() auto-selects content type: .csv -> multipart/form-data; otherwise text/plain.
• For text/plain, pass newline-delimited values via the text key.
• For multipart/form-data, pass a readable file path via the file key (handled internally by batch_analyze_file()).
• The name parameter is optional for all batch operations and helps with job identification and tracking.
• enableAutoCorrection applies only to Email Insights.
• Always wrap calls in a try-except (see Error Handling) to capture API errors.
• Polling cadence depends on payload size; a short delay (1–3s) between status checks is recommended.

Batch Export Jobs

Use batch exports to materialize filtered results from completed jobs. Exports run asynchronously and expose polling helpers similar to batch status checks.

Email Batch Exports

email_insights = EmailInsights('<YOUR-KEY-HERE>')

# Trigger a new export for a completed batch job
export = email_insights.create_batch_export('job-uuid-here', {
    'exportType': 'csv',
    'columns': [
        'emailAddress',
        'emailProvider',
        'riskReport.score',
        'isDeliverable'
    ],
    'filters': {
        'isDeliverable': 'yes',
        'riskReport.score': {'min': 400}
    }
})

# Poll until the export is ready
status = email_insights.get_batch_export_status('job-uuid-here', export['export_id'])

if status['status'] == 'COMPLETED':
    # Use status['download_url'] for the pre-signed file link
    print(f"Download: {status['download_url']}")

IP Batch Exports

ip_insights = IpInsights('<YOUR-KEY-HERE>')

export = ip_insights.create_batch_export('job-uuid-here', {
    'exportType': 'json',
    'columns': [
        'result.ipAddress',
        'result.connectionType',
        'result.riskReport.score'
    ],
    'filters': {
        'result.riskReport.level': ['low', 'medium']
    }
})

status = ip_insights.get_batch_export_status('job-uuid-here', export['export_id'])

if status['status'] == 'COMPLETED':
    # Use status['download_url'] to retrieve the generated export
    print(f"Download: {status['download_url']}")
elif status['status'] == 'FAILED':
    # Review status['error_code'] and status['error_message'] for remediation guidance
    print(f"Error: {status['error_code']} - {status['error_message']}")

Enabling Debug Mode

email_insights.set_debug_mode(True)

Handling Errors

We strongly recommend that any usage of this SDK happens within a try-except to properly handle any exceptions or errors.

from openapi_client.exceptions import ApiException

try:
    # Email or IP Insights usage...
    result = email_insights.analyze(params)
except ApiException as e:
    print(f"API Error: {e.status} - {e.reason}")
    print(f"Response: {e.body}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {str(e)}")

For Fraud Protection, import ApiException from fraud_intel_client instead:

from fraud_intel_client.exceptions import ApiException

try:
    result = fraud_protection.analyze_fraud(params)
except ApiException as e:
    print(f"API Error: {e.status} - {e.reason}")
    print(f"Response: {e.body}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {str(e)}")

Below are common error responses you might encounter:

Status Code	Error Type	Description
400	Bad Request	Invalid parameters or malformed request
401	Unauthorized	Invalid or missing API key
402	Payment Required	Account has insufficient credits
403	Forbidden	Plan limitation or feature not available
404	Not Found	Resource not found (e.g., invalid job ID)
413	Payload Too Large	Request exceeds maximum size (3MB)
429	Too Many Requests	Rate limit exceeded
500	Internal Server Error	Server-side error occurred
