Instantiating usermaven-python's client object

Create an instance of the client with your Usermaven workspace credentials.

from usermaven import Client
client = Client(api_key='your_workspace_api_key', server_token="your_workspace_server_token")

Create a Usermaven user profile

client.identify(user={'email': '[email protected]','id': 'lzL24K3kYw', 'created_at': '2022-01-20T09:55:35'})

Required arguments

user: The user object is the only required argument for identify call. email, id and created_at are required fields for the user object. Recommended fields for the user object are first_name and last_name. Additionally you can pass any custom properties in the form of dictionary to your user object.

Optional arguments

You can also pass optional arguments to the identify method.

company: A company object for which the user belongs to. It is optional but if it is passed, it must contain name, id and created_at fields. You can also submit custom properties in the form of dictionary for the company object. Example:

client.identify(user={
    # Required attributes of user object
    'email': '[email protected]', 'id': 'lzL24K3kYw', 'created_at': '2022-01-20T09:55:35',
    
    # Recommended attributes - First name and last name are shown on people pages.
    'first_name': 'John', 'last_name': 'Smith',
    
    # Optional attributes (you can name attributes what you wish)
    'custom': {'plan_name': 'premium'}
    }, 
    
    # If your product is used by multiple users in a company, we recommend to pass the Company attributes.
    company={
        # Required attributes of company object
        'name': 'Usermaven', 'id': 'uPq9oUGrIt', 'created_at': '2022-01-20T09:55:35',
        
        # Optional attributes such as industry, website, employee count etc.
        'custom': {'plan': 'enterprise', 'industry': 'Technology', 'website': 'https://usermaven.com', 
                   'employees': '20'}
    })

Track a custom event

client.track(user_id='lzL24K3kYw', event_type='plan_purchased')

Required arguments

user_id: For the track call, you must pass the user_id of the user you want to track the event for.

event_type: For track call, event_type is a required argument and you must pass a value to the event_type. We recommend using [verb] [noun], like goal created or payment succeeded to easily identify what your events mean later on.

Optional arguments

company: A company object for which the user belongs to. It is optional but if it is passed, it must contain name, id and created_at fields. You can also submit custom properties in the form of dictionary for the company object.

event_attributes: This can contain information related to the event that is being tracked. Example:

client.track(
    user_id='lzL24K3kYw', # Unique ID for the user in database. (Required)
    event_type='plan_purchased', # Event name to be tracked (Required)
    
    # Optional attributes
    company={
        # Required attributes of company object
        'name': 'Usermaven', 'id': 'uPq9oUGrIt', 'created_at': '2022-01-20T09:55:35',
        
        # Optional attributes such as industry, website, employee count etc.
        'custom': {'plan': 'enterprise', 'industry': 'Technology', 'website': 'https://usermaven.com',
