# Azure Event Grid SDK for Python Event routing service for building event-driven applications with pub/sub semantics. ## Installation ```bash pip install azure-eventgrid azure-identity ``` ## Environment Variables ```bash EVENTGRID_TOPIC_ENDPOINT=https://<topic-name>.<region>.eventgrid.azure.net/api/events EVENTGRID_NAMESPACE_ENDPOINT=https://<namespace>.<region>.eventgrid.azure.net ``` ## Authentication ```python from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.eventgrid import EventGridPublisherClient credential = DefaultAzureCredential() endpoint = "https://<topic-name>.<region>.eventgrid.azure.net/api/events" client = EventGridPublisherClient(endpoint, credential) ``` ## Event Types | Format | Class | Use Case | |--------|-------|----------| | Cloud Events 1.0 | `CloudEvent` | Standard, interoperable (recommended) | | Event Grid Schema | `EventGridEvent` | Azure-native format | ## Publish CloudEvents ```python from azure.eventgrid import EventGridPublisherClient, CloudEvent from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential client = EventGridPublisherClient(endpoint, DefaultAzureCredential()) # Single event event = CloudEvent( type="MyApp.Events.OrderCreated", source="/myapp/orders", data={"order_id": "12345", "amount": 99.99} ) client.send(event) # Multiple events events = [ CloudEvent( type="MyApp.Events.OrderCreated", source="/myapp/orders", data={"order_id": f"order-{i}"} ) for i in range(10) ] client.send(events) ``` ## Publish EventGridEvents ```python from azure.eventgrid import EventGridEvent from datetime import datetime, timezone event = EventGridEvent( subject="/myapp/orders/12345", event_type="MyApp.Events.OrderCreated", data={"order_id": "12345", "amount": 99.99}, data_version="1.0" ) client.send(event) ``` ## Event Properties ### CloudEvent Properties ```python event = CloudEvent( type="MyApp.Events.ItemCreated", # Required: event type source="/myapp/items", # Required: event source data={"key": "value"}, # Event payload subject="items/123", # Optional: subject/path datacontenttype="application/json", # Optional: content type dataschema="https://schema.example", # Optional: schema URL time=datetime.now(timezone.utc), # Optional: timestamp extensions={"custom": "value"} # Optional: custom attributes ) ``` ### EventGridEvent Properties ```python event = EventGridEvent( subject="/myapp/items/123", # Required: subject event_type="MyApp.ItemCreated", # Required: event type data={"key": "value"}, # Required: event payload data_version="1.0", # Required: schema version topic="/subscriptions/.../topics/...", # Optional: auto-set event_time=datetime.now(timezone.utc) # Optional: timestamp ) ``` ## Async Client ```python from azure.eventgrid.aio import EventGridPublisherClient from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential async def publish_events(): credential = DefaultAzureCredential() async with EventGridPublisherClient(endpoint, credential) as client: event = CloudEvent( type="MyApp.Events.Test", source="/myapp", data={"message": "hello"} ) await client.send(event) import asyncio asyncio.run(publish_events()) ``` ## Namespace Topics (Event Grid Namespaces) For Event Grid Namespaces (pull delivery): ```python from azure.eventgrid.aio import EventGridPublisherClient # Namespace endpoint (different from custom topic) namespace_endpoint = "https://<namespace>.<region>.eventgrid.azure.net" topic_name = "my-topic" async with EventGridPublisherClient( endpoint=namespace_endpoint, credential=DefaultAzureCredential() ) as client: await client.send( event, namespace_topic=topic_name ) ``` ## Best Practices 1. **Use CloudEvents** for new applications (industry standard) 2. **Batch events** when publishing multiple events 3. **Include meaningful subjects** for filtering 4. **Use async client** for high-throughput scenarios 5. **Handle retries** — Event Grid has built-in retry 6. **Set appropriate event types** for routing and filtering ## When to Use Azure Event Grid SDK for Python. Use for publishing events, handling CloudEvents, and event-driven architectures. Covers: Azure Event Grid SDK for Python, Environment Variables, Authentication, Event Types, Publish CloudEvents.
