# Introduction

> Learn how to configure and add your first contact with SendX Python SDK

## Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

* [**Create a SendX Account**](https://app.sendx.io/register)
* [**Install Python >v3.0**](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

## 1. Install

Get the python sendx sdk

```pip theme={null}
pip install sendx
```

## 2. Getting Started

```python theme={null}

import sendx_python_sdk
from sendx_python_sdk.models.contact_request import ContactRequest
from sendx_python_sdk.models.response import Response
from sendx_python_sdk.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint


configuration = sendx_python_sdk.Configuration()

# Configure API key authorization: apiKeyAuth
configuration.api_key['apiKeyAuth'] = os.environ["API_KEY"]

# Enter a context with an instance of the API client
with sendx_python_sdk.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    # Create an instance of the API class
    api_instance = sendx_python_sdk.ContactApi(api_client)
    contact_request = sendx_python_sdk.ContactRequest() # ContactRequest | 
    contact_request.email = "johndoe@sendx.io"
    contact_request.first_name = "John"
    contact_request.last_name = "Doe"
    contact_request.company = "SendX"
    contact_request.tags = ["12nb32nk43k2", "34njnk42bkj3"]
    contact_request.custom_fields = {"1434nfk324kn4d": "VIP", "34njnk42bkj3": "Gold"}
    contact_request.last_tracked_ip = "34.212.42.122"

    try:
        # Create a contact
        api_response = api_instance.create_contact(contact_request)
        print("The response of ContactApi->create_contact:\n")
        pprint(api_response)
    except ApiException as e:
        print("Exception when calling CampaignApi->create_campaign: %s\n" % e)
```

## 3. Try it yourself
