SDK Installation

The SDK can be installed using the pip package manager, with dependencies and metadata stored in the setup.py file.

pip install ding_api_client

SDK Example Usage

SDK Example Usage

Send a code

Send an OTP code to a user's phone number.

import ding
from ding.models import components

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
    customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
    phone_number='[phone]',
    locale='fr-FR',
))

if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Check a code

Check that a code entered by a user is valid.

import ding
from ding.models import components

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.check(request=components.CreateCheckRequest(
    customer_uuid='e0e7b0e9-739d-424b-922f-1c2cb48ab077',
    authentication_uuid='8f1196d5-806e-4b71-9b24-5f96ec052808',
    check_code='123456',
))

if res.create_check_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Perform a retry

Perform a retry if a user has not received the code.

import ding

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.retry()

if res.retry_authentication_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Send feedback

Send feedback about the authentication process.

import ding
from ding.models import components

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.feedback(request=components.FeedbackRequest(
    customer_uuid='c0c405fa-6bcb-4094-9430-7d6e2428ff23',
    phone_number='[phone]',
    status=components.FeedbackRequestStatus.ONBOARDED,
))

if res.feedback_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Get authentication status

Get the status of an authentication.

import ding

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.get_authentication_status(auth_uuid='d8446450-f2fa-4dd9-806b-df5b8c661f23')

if res.authentication_status_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Look up for phone number

Perform a phone number lookup.

import ding

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.lookup.lookup(phone_number='<value>', customer_uuid='6e93aa15-9177-4d09-8395-b69ce50db1c8')

if res.lookup_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Available Resources and Operations

Available methods

lookup

• lookup - Look up for phone number

otp

• create_authentication - Send a code
• check - Check a code
• feedback - Send feedback
• get_authentication_status - Get authentication status
• retry - Perform a retry

Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or raise an exception.

By default, an API error will raise a errors.SDKError exception, which has the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
.status_code	int	The HTTP status code
.message	str	The error message
.raw_response	httpx.Response	The raw HTTP response
.body	str	The response content

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also raise their associated exception. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the create_authentication method may raise the following exceptions:

Error Type	Status Code	Content Type
errors.ErrorResponse	400	application/json
errors.SDKError	4XX, 5XX	*/*

Example

import ding
from ding.models import components, errors

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)

res = None
try:
    res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
    customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
    phone_number='[phone]',
    locale='fr-FR',
))

except errors.ErrorResponse as e:
    # handle exception
    raise(e)
except errors.SDKError as e:
    # handle exception
    raise(e)

if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Server Selection

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import ding
from ding.models import components

s = ding.Ding(
    server_url='https://api.ding.live/v1',
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
    customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
    phone_number='[phone]',
    locale='fr-FR',
))

if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Custom HTTP Client

The Python SDK makes API calls using the requests HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with a custom requests.Session object.

For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:

import ding
import requests

http_client = requests.Session()
http_client.headers.update({'x-custom-header': 'someValue'})
s = ding.Ding(client=http_client)

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name	Type	Scheme
api_key	apiKey	API key

To authenticate with the API the api_key parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import ding
from ding.models import components

s = ding.Ding(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
)


res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
    customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
    phone_number='[phone]',
    locale='fr-FR',
))

if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
    # handle response
    pass

Development

Contributions

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
