\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1. Generate your API key

\n

Create a Custom Feed on the Setup page to generate server-to-server API credentials.

\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 2. Install the Python SDK

\n

Install the Python SDK via pip:

\n
pip install git+https://github.com/mparticle/mparticle-python-sdk.git
\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3. Call the Events API

\n

Integrate mParticle in your Python application.

\n
import mparticle\nfrom mparticle import AppEvent, SessionStartEvent, SessionEndEvent, Batch\n\nbatch = Batch()\nbatch.environment = 'development'\n\napp_event = AppEvent('Hello World', 'navigation')\nbatch.events = [SessionStartEvent(), app_event, SessionEndEvent()]\n\nconfiguration = mparticle.Configuration()\nconfiguration.api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'\nconfiguration.api_secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'\n\napi_instance = mparticle.EventsApi(configuration)\napi_instance.upload_events(batch)
\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 4. Verify installation

\n

Go to the Live Stream and watch new events come in as you run your script.

\n\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Next Steps 🎉

\n

Congrats on sending your first event to mParticle!
