[API Reference](https://apireference.aspose.cloud/email/)

# Key features

Aspose.Email Cloud is a REST API for creating email applications that work with standard email file formats. This SDK:
- Lets developers manipulate different emails’ formats such as Outlook MSG, EML, VCard, and iCalendar files
- Has a built-in email client
- Supports AI functionalities:
    - The Business card recognition
    - The Name API for parsing and handling personal names

## How to use the SDK?
The complete source code is available in the GIT repository. 
Use [reference documentation](https://github.com/aspose-email-cloud/aspose-email-cloud-python/blob/master/sdk/docs/README.md), [examples from this document](#usage-examples) and [wiki](https://github.com/aspose-email-cloud/aspose-email-cloud-python/wiki)

### Prerequisites

To use this SDK, you need an App SID and an App Key; they can be looked up at [Aspose Cloud Dashboard](https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/#/apps) (it requires free registration in Aspose Cloud for this).

### Installation

You can use it directly in your project via the source code or get a [PYPI Package](https://pypi.org/project/aspose-email-cloud/):

    pip install aspose-email-cloud


### Usage examples

To use the API, you should create an EmailApi object:
```python
from AsposeEmailCloudSdk import api #EmailApi class is here
from AsposeEmailCloudSdk import models #REST API models are here
from AsposeEmailCloudSdk.models import requests #Request models are here (all API calls use corresponding request model class)

#...
app_sid = 'Your App SID'
app_key = 'Your App Key'
email_api = api.EmailApi(app_key, app_sid)
```

API calls can be synchronous or asynchronous (using ThreadPool from multiprocessing.pool):
```python
result = email_api.get_calendar(
    requests.GetCalendarRequest(
        calendar_file,
        folder,
        storage))
# or
async_result = email_api.get_calendar_async( #returns multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult
    requests.GetCalendarRequest(
        calendar_file,
        folder,
        storage))
result = async_result.get()
```

#### Business cards recognition API
See examples below:

<details open>
    <summary>Parse business card images to VCard contact files</summary>

```python
storage = 'First Storage' # Your storage name
file_name = 'some_file_name.png' #Supports different image formats: PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, etc.
image_file = 'some/business/card/image/file/on/disk.png'
folder = 'some/folder/path/on/storage'
# Upload business card image to storage
storage_location = folder + '/' + file_name
email_api.upload_file(
    requests.UploadFileRequest(storage_location, image_file, storage))

out_folder_path = 'some/other/folder/path/on/storage' # Business card recognition results will be saved here
email_api.create_folder(requests.CreateFolderRequest(out_folder_path, storage))
# Call business card recognition action
result = email_api.ai_bcr_parse_storage(requests.AiBcrParseStorageRequest(
    models.AiBcrParseStorageRq(
        images=[
            models.AiBcrImageStorageFile(
                True, #Flag isSingle determines that image contains single VCard or more.
                      #Only single VCard on image variant is supported in current version.
                models.StorageFileLocation(storage, folder, file_name))],
        out_folder=models.StorageFolderLocation(storage, out_folder_path))))
# Get file name from recognition result
contact_file = result.value[0] # result.value can contain multiple files, if we sent multicard images or multiple images
# You can download the VCard file, which produced by the recognition method ...
downloaded = email_api.download_file(requests.DownloadFileRequest(
    contact_file.folder_path + '/' + contact_file.file_name,
    storage))
# ... and print it to console
with open(downloaded, 'r') as f:
    file_data = f.read()
    print(file_data)
# Also, you can get VCard object properties’ list using Contact API
contact_properties = email_api.get_contact_properties(
    requests.GetContactPropertiesRequest(
        'VCard',
        contact_file.file_name,
        contact_file.folder_path,
        contact_file.storage))
# All VCard’s properties are available as a list. Complex properties are represented as hierarchical structures.
# Let's print all primitive properties’ values:
primitives = (prop for prop in contact_properties.internal_properties
    if  prop.type == 'PrimitiveObject')
for prop in primitives:
    print('Property name: ' + prop.name + ' value: ' + prop.value)
```
</details>

<details>
    <summary>Parse images directly, without the using of a storage</summary>

```python
# Read image from file and convert it to Base64 string
image_file = 'some/business/card/image/file/on/disk.png'
image_data = None
with open(image_file, 'rb') as f:
    file_data = f.read()
    image_data = str(base64.b64encode(file_data), 'utf-8')
result = email_api.ai_bcr_parse(requests.AiBcrParseRequest(
    models.AiBcrBase64Rq(images=[
        models.AiBcrBase64Image(True, image_data)])))
# Result contains all recognized VCard objects (only the one in our case)
contact_properties = result.value[0]
# VCard object is available as a list of properties, without any external calls:
primitives = (prop for prop in contact_properties.internal_properties
    if  prop.type == 'PrimitiveObject')
for prop in primitives:
    print('Property name: ' + prop.name + ' value: ' + prop.value)
```
</details>

#### Name API
See examples below:
<details open>
    <summary>Detect a person's gender by name</summary>

```python
result = email_api.ai_name_genderize(
    requests.AiNameGenderizeRequest('John Cane'))
# the result contains a list of hypothesis about a person's gender.
# all hypothesis include score, so you can use the most scored version,
# which will be the first in a list:
print(result.value[0].gender) # prints 'Male'
```
</details>

<details>
    <summary>Format person's name using defined format</summary>

```python
result = email_api.ai_name_format(
    requests.AiNameFormatRequest(
        'Mr. John Michael Cane',
        format='%t%L%f%m'))
print(result.name) # prints 'Mr. Cane J. M.'
```
</details>

<details>
    <summary>Compare the names to find out if they belong to the same person or not</summary>

```python
first = 'John Michael Cane'
second = 'Cane J.'
result = email_api.ai_name_match(
    requests.AiNameMatchRequest(first, second))
print(result.similarity >= 0.5) # prints 'True', names look similar
```
</details>

<details>
    <summary>Expand a person's name into a list of possible alternatives</summary>

```python
name = 'Smith Bobby'
result = email_api.ai_name_expand(
    requests.AiNameExpandRequest(name))
expanded_names = list(weighted.name for weighted in result.names)
for (expanded_name in expanded_names):
    print expanded_name # prints 'Mr. Smith', 'B. Smith', etc.
```
</details>

<details>
    <summary>Get k most probable names for given starting characters</summary>

```python
prefix = 'Dav'
result = email_api.ai_name_complete(
    requests.AiNameCompleteRequest(prefix))
names = list(prefix + weighted.name for weighted in result.names)
for (name in names):
    print(name) # prints 'David', 'Dave', 'Davis', etc.
```
</details>

<details>
    <summary>Parse out a person's name from an email address.</summary>

```python
address = 'john-cane@gmail.com'
result = email_api.ai_name_parse_email_address(
    requests.AiNameParseEmailAddressRequest(address))
names = (extracted.name for extracted in result.value)
extracted_values = list(functools.reduce(lambda a,b: a+b, names))
given_name = next((x for x in extracted_values if x.category == 'GivenName'))
surname = next((x for x in extracted_values if x.category == 'Surname'))
print(given_name.value) # prints 'John'
print(surname.value) # prints 'Cane'
```
</details>
