Python client for Supabase

• Documentation: supabase.com/docs
• Usage:
  • GitHub OAuth in your Python Flask app
  • Python data loading with Supabase

git clone https://github.com/supabase/supabase-py.git
cd supabase-py

We recommend activating your virtual environment. For example, we like poetry and conda! Click here for more about Python virtual environments and working with conda and poetry.

Using venv (Python 3 built-in):

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate  # On Windows, use .\env\Scripts\activate

Using conda:

conda create --name supabase-py
conda activate supabase-py

Install the package (for Python >= 3.9):

# with pip
pip install supabase

# with conda
conda install -c conda-forge supabase

You can also install locally after cloning this repo. Install Development mode with pip install -e, which makes it editable, so when you edit the source code the changes will be reflected in your python module.

Set your Supabase environment variables in a dotenv file, or using the shell:

export SUPABASE_URL="my-url-to-my-awesome-supabase-instance"
export SUPABASE_KEY="my-supa-dupa-secret-supabase-api-key"

Init client:

import os
from supabase import create_client, Client

url: str = os.environ.get("SUPABASE_URL")
key: str = os.environ.get("SUPABASE_KEY")
supabase: Client = create_client(url, key)

Use the supabase client to interface with your database.

user = supabase.auth.sign_up({ "email": users_email, "password": users_password })

user = supabase.auth.sign_in_with_password({ "email": users_email, "password": users_password })

data = supabase.table("countries").insert({"name":"Germany"}).execute()

# Assert we pulled real data.
assert len(data.data) > 0

data = supabase.table("countries").select("*").eq("country", "IL").execute()

# Assert we pulled real data.
assert len(data.data) > 0

data = supabase.table("countries").update({"country": "Indonesia", "capital_city": "Jakarta"}).eq("id", 1).execute()

country = {
  "country": "United Kingdom",
  "capital_city": "London" # This was missing when it was added
}

data = supabase.table("countries").upsert(country).execute()
assert len(data.data) > 0

data = supabase.table("countries").delete().eq("id", 1).execute()

def test_func():
  try:
    resp = supabase.functions.invoke("hello-world", invoke_options={'body':{}})
    return resp
  except (FunctionsRelayError, FunctionsHttpError) as exception:
    err = exception.to_dict()
    print(err.get("message"))

bucket_name: str = "photos"

data = supabase.storage.from_(bucket_name).download("photo1.png")

bucket_name: str = "photos"
new_file = getUserFile()

data = supabase.storage.from_(bucket_name).upload("/user1/profile.png", new_file)

bucket_name: str = "photos"

data = supabase.storage.from_(bucket_name).remove(["old_photo.png", "image5.jpg"])

bucket_name: str = "charts"

data = supabase.storage.from_(bucket_name).list()

bucket_name: str = "charts"
old_file_path: str = "generic/graph1.png"
new_file_path: str = "important/revenue.png"

data = supabase.storage.from_(bucket_name).move(old_file_path, new_file_path)

Contributing to the Python libraries are a great way to get involved with the Supabase community. Reach out to us on Discord or on our Github Discussions page if you want to get involved.

Currently, the test suites are in a state of flux. We are expanding our clients' tests to ensure things are working, and for now can connect to this test instance, which is populated with the following table:

The above test database is a blank supabase instance that has populated the countries table with the built-in countries script that can be found in the supabase UI. You can launch the test scripts and point to the above test database by running

./test.sh
