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:

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'})

Retrieving all API Usage statistics for an Organizations during a given usage period, broken down by organization for all APIs:
# Valid usage types are by 'organization' and by 'space'.
# Usage period IDs are numerical and can be fetched from the Usage Periods API.
# Valid API breakdowns are: 'cda', 'cpa', 'cma' or 'all_apis'.
usage = client.api_usage('organization_id').all('organization', usage_period_id, 'all_apis')
Alternatively, if you have an already fetched organization:
# Breaking down CMA usage by space, for a given period.
usage = organization.api_usage().all('space', usage_period_id, 'cma')
Retrieving your User information:
user = client.users().me()
Note: For all resources that depend on an environment but don't have environments explicitly enabled. You should use 'master' as environment_id.

asset.process()
This will process the file for every available locale and provide you with a downloadable URL within Contentful.
