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.

Implementation example

pip install ziptax-sdk

from ziptax import ZiptaxClient

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

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

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