The official Mailinator Python SDK. This REST API client is implemented as a thin wrapper around the Mailinator API. The OpenAPI specification is the source of truth.

See Mailinator's API Reference for all of the currently available API endpoints.

• OpenAPI spec: https://github.com/manybrain/mailinatordocs/blob/main/openapi/mailinator-api.yaml
• SDK examples: EXAMPLE.md
• SDK architecture and OpenAPI alignment workflow: OPENAPI_ALIGNMENT.md
• Current modernization and alignment work: ROADMAP.md

pip install mailinator-python-client-2

from mailinator import Mailinator

client = Mailinator("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

For request examples (inbox, messages, domains, rules, webhooks, and stats), see EXAMPLE.md.

Run the mocked tests with:

python -m pytest tests/test_mailinator_mocked.py

These tests do not make network requests and do not require Mailinator credentials.

Run the integration tests with:

python -m pytest tests/test_mailinator.py -s

Integration tests require valid environment values and will skip when required settings are missing.

Use either:

• .env (recommended): copy .env.example to .env and fill in values.
• tests/localsettings.py: copy tests/localsettings.py.template to tests/localsettings.py (it also loads .env if present).

Run the full suite with:

python -m pytest
