Contentful provides a content infrastructure for digital teams to power content in websites, apps, and devices. Unlike a CMS, Contentful was built to integrate with the modern software stack. It offers a central hub for structured content, powerful management and delivery APIs, and a customizable web app that enable developers and content creators to ship digital products faster.
Install Contentful Management from the Python Package Index:
sudo pip install contentful_management
Create a client:
import contentful_management client = contentful_management.Client('MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN')
The api token can easily be created through the management api documentation.
Retrieving all spaces:
spaces = client.spaces().all()
Retrieveing one space by ID:
blog_space = client.spaces().find('blog_space_id')
Deleting a space:
client.spaces().delete('blog_space_id') # or if you already fetched the space blog_space.delete()
Creating a new space:
new_blog_space = client.spaces().create({'name': 'My Blog', 'default_locale': 'en-US'}) # default_locale is optional
In the case your user belongs to multiple organizations, you're required to send an organization ID:
new_blog_space = client.spaces().create({'name': 'My Blog', 'organization_id': 'my_org_id'})
Updating a space:
blog_space.update({'name': 'Ye Olde Blog'}) # or directly editing it's properties blog_space.name = 'Ye Olde Blog' blog_space.save()

Alternatively, if you have an already fetched organization:
usage_periods = organization.periodic_usages().all()

user = client.users().me()
Retrieving one user by ID from the space:
user = space.users().find(user_id)
Retrieving one user by ID from an organization:

Creating an asset:
file_attributes = { 'fields': { 'file': { 'en-US': { 'fileName': 'file.png', 'contentType': 'image/png', 'upload': 'https://url.to/file.png' } } } } new_asset = client.assets('my_space_id', 'environment_id').create( 'new_asset_id', file_attributes ) # or if you already have a fetched environment new_asset = environment.assets().create( 'new_asset_id', file_attributes )
We also support Direct File Upload, this will be explained in the Uploads section.
Processing an asset:
asset.process()
This will process the file for every available locale and provide you with a downloadable URL within Contentful.
