PyPardot is an API wrapper for Pardot, written in Python.

Using it is simple:

from pypardot.client import PardotAPI


p = PardotAPI(
                email='your_pardot_email',
                password='your_pardot_password',
                user_key='your_pardot_user_key'
                )
                
p.authenticate()

# Create a new prospect
p.prospects.create_by_email(email='[email protected]', first_name='Joe', last_name='Schmoe')

# Update a prospect field
p.prospects.update_field_by_email(email='[email protected]', field='company', field_value='Joes Plumbing')

# Send a one-off email
p.emails.send_to_email(prospect_email='[email protected]', email_template_id=123)

• Includes all documented Pardot API operations
• Handles API key expiration
• Detailed API error handling

Install PyPardot by running:

pip install pypardot

###Authentication

To connect to the Pardot API, you'll need the e-mail address, password, and user key associated with your Pardot account. Your user key is available in the Pardot application under My Settings.

The client will authenticate before performing other API calls, but you can manually authenticate as well:

p = PardotAPI(
                email='your_pardot_email',
                password='your_pardot_password',
                user_key='your_pardot_user_key'
                )
                
p.authenticate()

###Querying Objects

Supported search criteria varies for each object. Check the official Pardot API documentation for supported parameters. Most objects support limit, offset, sort_by, and sort_order parameters. PyPardot returns JSON for all API queries.

Note: Pardot only returns 200 records with each request. Use offset to retrieve matching records beyond this limit.

# Query and iterate through today's prospects
prospects = p.prospects.query(created_after='yesterday')
total = prospects['total_results'] # total number of matching records
for prospect in prospects['prospect']
  print(prospect.get('first_name'))

Supported fields varies for each object. Check the official Pardot API documentation to see the fields associated with each object.

# Create a new prospect
p.prospects.create_by_email(email='[email protected]', first_name='Joe', last_name='Schmoe')

# Update a prospect field (works with default or custom field)
p.prospects.update_field_by_email(email='[email protected]', field='company', field_value='Joes Plumbing')

# Send a one-off email
p.emails.send_to_email(prospect_email='[email protected]', email_template_id=123)

PyPardot supports some un-documented API methods:

• prospects.add_to_list: Adds the prospect to a Pardot list
• prospects.update_field_by_email: Updates the value for a single default or custom field
• prospects.read_field_by_email: Returns the value for a single default or custom field
• More coming soon!

Pardot API keys expire after 60 minutes. If PyPardot detects an 'Invalid API key' error during any API call, it will automatically attempt to re-authenticate and obtain a new valid API key. If re-authentication is successful, the API call will be re-issued. If re-authentication fails, a PardotAPIError is thrown.

If an API call is made with missing or invalid parameters, a PardotAPIError is thrown. Error instances contain the error code and message corresponding to error response returned by the API. See Pardot Error Codes & Messages in the official documentation.

Performing API calls is inherently unsafe, so be sure to catch exceptions:

try:
  p.prospects.create_by_email(email='[email protected]')
except PardotAPIError, e:
  print(e)
