netsuitesdk

netsuite-sdk-py

Netsuite-sdk-py is a Python SDK. It uses the SOAP client library zeep(https://python-zeep.readthedocs.io/en/master/) for accessing NetSuite resources via the NetSuite SOAP web service SuiteTalk(http://www.netsuite.com/portal/platform/developer/suitetalk.shtml), but hides the complexity from the SDK user.

Installation

$ pip install netsuitesdk 

Get Started

There are two ways to access a NetSuite account via web services:

• Use token-based auth (TBA) (within each request). This is the mechanism supported by this SDK.
• Use email, password, role and account id to login and start a session. This is not supported by this SDK

Token-based Auth

First, setup TBA credentials using environment variables.

# TBA credentials
export NS_ACCOUNT=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_KEY=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_KEY=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxx

The following snippet shows how to use TBA to initialize the SDK.

import os
import itertools
import json
from netsuitesdk import NetSuiteConnection

def connect_tba():
    NS_ACCOUNT = os.getenv('NS_ACCOUNT')
    NS_CONSUMER_KEY = os.getenv('NS_CONSUMER_KEY')
    NS_CONSUMER_SECRET = os.getenv('NS_CONSUMER_SECRET')
    NS_TOKEN_KEY = os.getenv('NS_TOKEN_KEY')
    NS_TOKEN_SECRET = os.getenv('NS_TOKEN_SECRET')
    nc = NetSuiteConnection(
        account=NS_ACCOUNT,
        consumer_key=NS_CONSUMER_KEY,
        consumer_secret=NS_CONSUMER_SECRET,
        token_key=NS_TOKEN_KEY,
        token_secret=NS_TOKEN_SECRET
    )
    return nc

nc = connect_tba()

# Use get_all methods to get all objects of certain types
currencies = nc.currencies.get_all()
locations = nc.locations.get_all()
departments = nc.departments.get_all()
classifications = nc.classifications.get_all()
subsidiaries = nc.subsidiaries.get_all()
expense_categories = nc.expense_categories.get_all()
employees = nc.employees.get_all()
all_accounts = list(itertools.islice(nc.accounts.get_all_generator(), 100))
accounts = [a for a in all_accounts if a['acctType'] == '_expense']
vendor_bills = list(itertools.islice(nc.vendor_bills.get_all_generator(), 10))
vendors = list(itertools.islice(nc.vendors.get_all_generator(), 10))
vendor_payments = nc.vendor_payments.get_all()

data = {
  'accounts': accounts,
  'classifications': classifications,
  'departments': departments,
  'locations': locations,
  'currencies': currencies,
  'vendors': vendors,
  'vendor_bills': vendor_bills,
  'subsidiaries': subsidiaries,
  'expense_categories': expense_categories,
  'employees': employees,
  'vendor_payments': vendor_payments
}
with open('/tmp/netsuite.json', 'w') as oj:
	oj.write(json.dumps(data, default=str, indent=2))

# There are also generator methods to iterate over potentially large lists
for c in nc.currencies.get_all_generator():
    print(c)

# Get a specific object
nc.currencies.get(internalId='1')

# Post operation is only supported on vendor_bills, expense_reports, journal_entries and vendor_payments currently (see tests on how to construct vendor bill, expense report and journal entry)
vb = {...}
nc.vendor_bills.post(vb)

er = {...}
nc.expense_reports.post(er)

je = {...}
nc.journal_entries.post(je)

vp = {...}
nc.vendor_payments.post(vp)

### Upsert Files
file = open('receipt.pdf', 'rb').read()

created_folder = nc.folders.post(
    {
        "externalId": 'new-folder',
        "name": 'Receipts'
    }
)

uploaded_file = nc.files.post({
    "externalId": "receipt 1",
    "name": 'receipt.pdf',
    'content': file,
    'fileType': '_PDF',
    "folder": {
                "name": None,
                "internalId": 695,
                "externalId": 'new-folder',
                "type": "folder"
            }
    }
)

Remarks and possible errors regarding authentication

Note: NetSuite requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for all Administrator and other highly privileged roles in all NetSuite accounts. Instead, you can login with a non-highly privileged role or use token based authentication (TBA) with your requests. For TBA, see below.

If login fails, a NetSuiteLoginError is thrown.

For more information about NetSuite authentication, see: (https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/netsuitecs_gs/NSATH/NSATH.pdf)

Integration Tests

To run integration tests, you will set both login and TBA credentials for an actual Netsuite account with the right permissions.

# TBA credentials
export NS_ACCOUNT=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_KEY=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_KEY=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxx

python -m pytest test/integration

Currently the code coverage is at 90%

To run integration tests on a newly added / modified file

python -m pytest -vv test/integration/test_filename.py;
