Integration
Python backend integration.
Use this general server-side example as the starting point for jobs, articles, products, listings, events, announcements, or custom content.
Python
How this integration works
Use this in a Django, Flask, FastAPI, or worker-based backend.
Keep your zedgad API key on the server. The integration sends a title, summary, public URL, optional image URL, and any useful metadata to the project webhook.
- Install requests if your project does not already use it.
- Save the file as integrations/zedgad.py or another backend-only module.
- Call send_content_to_zedgad after your content is saved or published.
Python
Create integrations/zedgad.py
Replace the sample content fields with your own model fields. The important part is that zedgad receives a stable ID, content type, title, summary, public URL, optional image URL, and any metadata you want to keep with the post.

import requests
ZEDGAD_API_KEY = os.environ["ZEDGAD_API_KEY"]
