Quickstart

AgentMail Python Quickstart — copy into Cursor/Claude for instant setup.
3
4
Setup: pip install agentmail python-dotenv. Set AGENTMAIL_API_KEY in .env.
5
6
Agent sign-up (no API key needed):
7
- agent.sign_up(human_email, username) — returns api_key, inbox_id, organization_id
8
- agent.verify(otp_code) — verify with OTP sent to human_email
9
10
API reference:
11
- inboxes.create(username?, domain?, display_name?, client_id?) — client_id for idempotent retries
12
- messages.send(inbox_id, to, subject, text, html?, cc?, bcc?, reply_to?, attachments?)
13
- messages.list(inbox_id, limit?, page_token?, labels?) — receive emails; use extracted_text/extracted_html for reply content
14
15
Errors: SDK raises on 4xx/5xx. Inspect error.body.message or str(e).
16
Rate limit: 429 with Retry-After header. Implement exponential backoff for retries.
17
Idempotency: Pass client_id to inboxes.create() to safely retry without duplicates.
