Worldline Connect Python SDK
Introduction
The Python SDK helps you to communicate with the Worldline Connect <https://docs.connect.worldline-solutions.com/>
__ Server API. Its primary features are:
-
convenient Python library for the API calls and responses
- marshalls Python request objects to HTTP requests
- unmarshalls HTTP responses to Python response objects or Python exceptions
-
handling of all the details concerning authentication
-
handling of required metadata
Its use is demonstrated by an example for each possible call. The examples execute a call using the provided API keys.
See the Worldline Connect Developer Hub <https://docs.connect.worldline-solutions.com/documentation/sdk/server/python/>
__ for more information on how to use the SDK.
Structure of this repository
This repository consists out of four main components:
#. The source code of the SDK itself: /worldline/connect/sdk/
#. The source code of the SDK unit tests: /tests/unit/
#. The source code of the SDK integration tests: /tests/integration/
#. Usage examples: /examples/
Note that the source code of the unit tests and integration tests and the examples can only be found on GitHub.
Requirements
Python 3.7 or higher is required. In addition, the following packages are required:
requests <https://requests.readthedocs.io/>
__ 2.25.0 or higherrequests-toolbelt <https://toolbelt.readthedocs.io/>
__ 0.8.0 or higher
These packages will be installed automatically if the SDK is installed manually or using pip following the below instructions.
Installation
To install the SDK using pip, execute the following command:
.. code:: bash
pip install connect-sdk-python3
Alternatively, you can install the SDK from a source distribution file:
#. Download the latest version of the Python SDK from GitHub. Choose the connect-sdk-python3-x.y.z.zip
file from the releases <https://github.com/Worldline-Global-Collect/connect-sdk-python3/releases>
__ page, where x.y.z
is the version number.
#. Execute the following command in the folder where the SDK was downloaded to:
.. code:: bash
pip install connect-sdk-python3-x.y.z.zip
Uninstalling
After the Python SDK has been installed, it can be uninstalled using the following command:
.. code:: bash
pip uninstall connect-sdk-python3
The required packages can be uninstalled in the same way.
Running tests
There are two types of tests: unit tests and integration tests. The unit tests will work out-of-the-box; for the integration tests some configuration is required.
First, some environment variables need to be set:
connect.api.apiKeyId
for the API key id to use. This can be retrieved from the Configuration Center.connect.api.secretApiKey
for the secret API key to use. This can be retrieved from the Configuration Center.connect.api.merchantId
for your merchant ID.
In addition, to run the proxy integration tests, the proxy URI, username and password should be set in the tests/resources/configuration.proxy.ini
file.
In order to run the unit and integration tests, the mock <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock>
__ backport and mockito <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mockito>
__ are required. These can be installed using the following command:
.. code:: bash
pip install mock mockito
The following commands can now be executed from the tests
directory to execute the tests:
