# Sending Profiles

Sending profiles tell Gophish which SMTP servers to use when sending emails.

The SMTP endpoint allows you to create, view, and manage Gophish sending profiles.

* [Models](/python-api-client/sending-profiles.md#models)
* [Methods](/python-api-client/sending-profiles.md#methods)
* [Examples](/python-api-client/sending-profiles.md#examples)

## Quick Example

This example shows how to retrieve the name of every sending profile in Gophish.

```python
from gophish import Gophish

api_key = 'API_KEY'
api = Gophish(api_key)

for smtp in api.smtp.get():
    print smtp.name
```

### Models

#### gophish.models.SMTP

A sending profile contains the server address/port, and optional credentials.

**Attributes**

* `id` (int) The smtp ID
* `name` (str) The smtp name
* `interface_type` (str) The type of SMTP connection (for now, always use `SMTP`)
* `host` (str) The host:port of the SMTP server
* `from_address` (str) The address to send emails from (e.g. John Doe <<johndoe@example.com>>)
* `ignore_cert_errors` (bool) Whether or not to ignore SSL certificate validation errors (set to `true` in the case of self-signed certificates)
* `modified_date` (optional: datetime.datetime) The datetime this SMTP profile was previously modified

**Methods**

* `__init__(self, **kwargs)` - Returns a new SMTP object

### Methods

#### gophish.api.smtp.get(smtp\_id=None)

Gets the details for one or more sending profiles. To get a particular sending profiles, set the ID to the profile ID.

If the `smtp_id` is not set, all sending profiles owned by the current user will be returned.

**Returns**

* If the `smtp_id` is set: `models.SMTP`
* If `smtp_id` is `None`: `list(models.SMTP)`

#### gophish.api.smtp.post(smtp)

Creates a new sending profile. This endpoint requires you to submit a `gophish.models.SMTP` object.

**Returns**

The `gophish.models.SMTP` object that was created.

#### gophish.api.smtp.put(smtp)

Edits an existing sending profile. This endpoint requires you to submit an existing `gophish.models.SMTP` object with its `id` attribute set correctly.

**Returns**

The `gophish.models.SMTP` object that was edited.

#### gophish.api.smtp.delete(smtp\_id)

Deletes the sending profile specified by `smtp_id`.

**Returns**

A `gophish.models.Status` message.

### Examples

Here are some examples to show how to use the API.

All of these examples assume the following setup:

```python
from gophish import Gophish
from gophish.models import *

api_key = 'API_KEY'
api = Gophish(api_key)
```

#### Get All Sending Profiles

```python
smtp = api.smtp.get()
```

#### Get Single Sending Profile

```python
smtp = api.smtp.get(smtp_id=1)
```

#### Create New Sending Profile

```python
smtp = SMTP(name='Test SMTP')
smtp.host = "localhost:25"
smtp.from_address = "John Doe <johndoe@example.com>"
smtp.interface_type = "SMTP"
smtp.ignore_cert_errors = True

smtp = api.smtp.post(smtp)
print smtp.id
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getgophish.com/python-api-client/sending-profiles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
