Azure Connectors Python SDK

Type-safe Python clients for Azure connectors — call Office 365, SharePoint, Teams, Dataverse, and 1,000+ connectors directly from Azure Functions and other Python apps.

Caution

Early Preview — Not for Production Use

This SDK is currently in early preview and is under active development. It is intended for evaluation, experimentation, and feedback purposes only.

Do not use this SDK in production environments.
Breaking changes should be expected across APIs, data models, and behavior in future releases.
Features may be added, modified, or removed without prior notice.

We welcome feedback and contributions — please open an issue with questions, suggestions, or bug reports.

Why This SDK?

Azure provides a rich ecosystem of managed connectors that bridge your code to SaaS services, PaaS resources, and on-premises systems. Originally powering Azure Logic Apps and Power Automate, these connectors are now available as standalone, strongly-typed Python clients for any Python application — no workflow service required.

Async/await native — Built on aiohttp with full async support for modern Python applications
Type-safe operations — Generated async methods with type hints and comprehensive docstrings
Built-in authentication — Managed identity, Azure Identity, and API key token providers
Resilient HTTP — Configurable retries with exponential backoff for safe HTTP methods; unsafe methods make one attempt by default
1,000+ connectors — Any Azure managed connector available via API Hub can be generated

Note: This is the Python SDK. .NET and Node.js SDKs are also available. A Java SDK is planned in collaboration with the Azure Functions team.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install azure-connectors

Or install with development dependencies:

pip install azure-connectors[dev]

Quick Start

Example: Send an email with Office 365

import asyncio

from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

from azure.connectors.office365 import Office365Client, SendEmailInput


async def send_email_example():
    connection_url = "https://example.azure.com/connections/office365"

    async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:
        async with Office365Client(connection_url, credential) as client:
            await client.send_email_async(
                input=SendEmailInput(
                    to="recipient@example.com",
                    subject="Hello from Python SDK",
                    body="<p>Sent with the Azure Connectors Python SDK.</p>",
                )
            )


asyncio.run(send_email_example())

Example: List SharePoint items

from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

from azure.connectors.sharepointonline import SharepointonlineClient


async def list_sharepoint_items():
    connection_url = "https://example.azure.com/connections/sharepointonline"

    async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:
        async with SharepointonlineClient(connection_url, credential) as client:
            items = [
                item
                async for item in client.get_items_async(
                    dataset="https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite",
                    table="MyList",
                )
            ]

    for item in items:
        print(f"Item: {item.get('Title')}")

Example: Post a Teams message

from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

from azure.connectors.teams import DynamicPostMessageRequest, TeamsClient


async def post_teams_message():
    connection_url = "https://example.azure.com/connections/teams"

    async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:
        async with TeamsClient(connection_url, credential) as client:
            await client.post_message_to_conversation_async(
                input=DynamicPostMessageRequest(
                    additional_properties={
                        "body": {
                            "content": "Hello from Python!",
                            "contentType": "text",
                        }
                    }
                ),
                poster="User",
                location="19:channel-id",
            )

Retry safety

By default, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, and TRACE use the configured retry settings. POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and other methods make one attempt after a transient response or transport error because the connector may already have completed the side effect.

Only opt in when the connector operation can tolerate replay, preferably with a service-supported idempotency key or deduplication:

from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

from azure.connectors.teams import TeamsClient


async def use_teams_client(connection_url: str):
    async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:
        async with TeamsClient(
            connection_url,
            credential,
            max_retry_attempts=3,
            retry_unsafe_http_methods=True,
        ) as client:
            print(client.connector_name)

max_retry_attempts, timeout, and backoff settings govern eligible retries. This is the same cross-language retry-safety contract as the .NET and Node.js SDKs.

Total: 99 connectors supported

See ROADMAP.md for planned connector additions and tests/README.md for detailed test coverage.

Authentication

Generated clients require a caller-owned Azure Core credential.

Managed Identity

from azure.identity.aio import ManagedIdentityCredential

from azure.connectors.office365 import Office365Client


async def use_managed_identity(connection_url: str):
    async with ManagedIdentityCredential() as credential:
        async with Office365Client(connection_url, credential) as client:
            print(client.connector_name)

Pass client_id="your-client-id" to ManagedIdentityCredential for a user-assigned identity.

Azure Identity Credentials

Any asynchronous Azure Identity credential can be passed directly:

from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

from azure.connectors.office365 import Office365Client

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = Office365Client(connection_url, credential)

The caller owns the credential and must close it. Prefer an async with credential context as shown above.

API Key

from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential

from azure.connectors.office365 import Office365Client

credential = AzureKeyCredential("your-api-key")
client = Office365Client(connection_url, credential)

Configuration Options

Pass retry, timeout, transport, and Azure Core policy settings directly to the generated client:

client = Office365Client(
    connection_url,
    credential,
    timeout_seconds=60.0,
    max_retry_attempts=5,
    use_exponential_backoff=True,
    initial_retry_delay_seconds=1.0,
)

timeout_seconds is one total network budget for each request, including retries, response loading, and body reads. Each generated operation also accepts keyword-only timeout, headers, client_request_id, and response_hook request controls; timeout overrides that total budget for one operation. Set either timeout to zero or a negative value to disable SDK and transport deadlines for the selected requests.

Generated clients accept any Azure Core AsyncHttpTransport. The client closes an injected transport through its asynchronous lifecycle; the caller retains ownership of the credential. The SDK enforces the total request budget across transports and applies transport-specific timeout options only when supported. per_call_policies and per_retry_policies are composed with the default or an explicit policies chain. An explicit chain using per_retry_policies must contain an AsyncRetryPolicy. Explicit chains without a retry policy remain supported; the SDK enforces positive total request deadlines without forwarding retry-only options to the transport.

SDK-Type Bindings for Azure Functions

The SDK supports SDK-type bindings for Python Function apps, allowing functions to bind to and return rich, strongly-typed objects instead of raw JSON payloads. This enables cleaner code and better IDE support with type hints.

Example: Receiving Email Messages

Use the Azure Functions connector extension's SDK type annotation. The extension converter normalizes the trigger payload and returns generated Azure Connectors SDK models:

import azure.functions as func
import azurefunctions.extensions.connectors.office365 as office365

app = func.FunctionApp()


@app.connector_trigger(arg_name="messages")
def process_emails(
    messages: list[office365.ClientReceiveMessage],
) -> None:
    for message in messages:
        print(message.from_)
        print(message.subject)

Generated connector models intentionally do not provide from_json() methods. See SDK-Type Bindings for Azure Functions for the ownership model and extension implementation guidance.
