Python SDK

The Python SDK offers a simple, intuitive interface for interacting with the Ziptax API from scripts, data pipelines, and applications. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous usage, includes built-in error handling, and integrates naturally with common Python workflows for data engineering, ETL, and backend services. This SDK is a great fit for teams working in Databricks, AWS Lambda, FastAPI, Django, or other Python-driven environments.

from ziptax import ZiptaxClient

1
client = ZiptaxClient.api_key(
2
    "your-api-key-here",
3
    timeout=60,       # Request timeout in seconds
4
    max_retries=5,    # Maximum retry attempts
5
    retry_delay=2.0,  # Base delay between retries
6
)

1
response = client.request.GetSalesTaxByAddress(
2
    "200 Spectrum Center Drive, Irvine, CA 92618"
3
)

1
print(f"Address: {response.address_detail.normalized_address}")
2
if response.tax_summaries:
3
    for summary in response.tax_summaries:
4
        print(f"{summary.summary_name}: {summary.rate * 100:.2f}%")
5
6
# Always close the client when done
7
client.close()
