Quickstart

import os

from octridev_resend import ClientConfig, ClientAuthConfig, Resend

config = ClientConfig(
    # Optional: replaces the default server and any server an operation declares.
    base_url="https://api.resend.com",
    auth=ClientAuthConfig(bearer_auth=os.environ["API_TOKEN"]),
)
client = Resend(config)
result = client.domains.get(domain_id="domain-1")
print(result)

Authentication

Keep credentials outside source control. The quickstart reads them from the environment and the client applies them to every request.

Scheme	ClientAuthConfig field	Sent as
bearerAuth	`bearer_auth`	`Authorization: Bearer …`

Client behavior

Base URL: https://api.resend.com.
Transport: httpx.
Timeout: 30,000 ms per attempt.
Retries: up to 3 attempts for status codes 408, 425, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, with 500-8,000 ms backoff.
Idempotency: enabled for POST, PATCH using Idempotency-Key.
Error telemetry: off. This build has no reporting endpoint and sends no error reports.

High-level operation methods return the typed response body directly. The low-level request layer returns an SdkResponse<T> envelope containing data, status, headers, request ID, latency, and attempt count.

Errors

All failure paths use a small, predictable hierarchy:

Error	Meaning
`SdkValidationError`	A request argument failed an OpenAPI constraint before network I/O.
`SdkHttpError`	The server returned a non-2xx response.
`SdkApiError`	A 2xx response whose error envelope, when the API declares one, reports a failed call. It carries the envelope's error code.
`SdkResponseDecodeError`	A 2xx response body or stream event did not decode into its declared type. It keeps the raw body.
`SdkNetworkError`	DNS, connection, TLS, or socket failure.
`SdkTimeoutError`	The configured per-attempt timeout elapsed.

HTTP errors expose status_code, the response body and headers, plus request_id when the server supplies one. Preserve the request ID in support logs; it is the fastest way to correlate a failed SDK call with server-side traces.

Common statuses are reported as a subclass of SdkHttpError, so a handler can catch only the one it handles: SdkBadRequestError (400), SdkUnauthorizedError (401), SdkPermissionDeniedError (403), SdkNotFoundError (404), SdkConflictError (409), SdkUnprocessableEntityError (422), SdkRateLimitError (429), SdkInternalServerError (any 5xx). Any other status is reported as SdkHttpError itself.

When the API declares a model for an error response, the SDK decodes the body into it as error.data; narrow it with isinstance. It is empty when the status declares no model or the body does not fit one. The raw body stays on the error either way, and error.decode_body(ErrorModel) decodes it into any ErrorModel by hand.

An operation that declares error models also defines <Operation>Error beside it, the union of those models. error.decode_body(<Operation>Error) returns whichever model the body fits; narrow it with isinstance.
