Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
A Python API wrapper designed to streamline Paystack integrations within Python projects.
A Python API wrapper designed to streamline Paystack integrations within Python projects, (Django, Flask, etc) Paystack does not natively provide an sdk or wrapper client for Python. I was working on a project once and I found myself writing boilerplate code rather than focusing on integrating payments into my service.
The package is available on PyPi. In any project, run: pip3 install pystack.
PystackClient.
from pystack import PystackClient
# Create a PaystackClient object
paystack_client = PystackClient(pystack_key=YOUR_KEY)
Below is an example of how the pystack module helps you skip the shenanigans and focus on the payments.
from pystack import PystackClient
# Replace 'YOUR_KEY' with your actual Paystack secret key.
YOUR_KEY = 'YOUR_KEY'
# Create a PaystackClient object
pystack = PystackClient(pystack_key=YOUR_KEY)
# Now we initiate a payment
amount = 5000 # The amount to send in the request
email = 'pystack@pystack.com' # The customer's email address
payment_response = pystack.initiatePayment(amount=amount, email=email)
Look how much boilerplate code you saved above.
You can also verify transactions through though the pystack module. Here is an example:
from pystack import PystackClient
# Replace 'YOUR_KEY' with your actual Paystack secret key.
YOUR_KEY = 'YOUR_KEY'
# Create a PaystackClient object
pystack = PystackClient(pystack=YOUR_KEY)
# Now we initiate a payment
amount = 5000 # The amount to send in the request
email = 'pystack@pystack.com' # The customer's email address
payment_response = pystack.initiatePayment(amount=amount, email=email)
# Condition to verify the payment
if payment_response['status']:
transaction_reference = payment_response['data']['reference']
verification_response = pystack.verifyPayment(reference=transaction_reference)
if verification_response['status']:
print("Payment was successful.")
else:
print("Payment verification failed.")
else:
print("Payment initiation failed.")
Like wise there are other things you could do with Pystack, such as recurring charges, subscriptions, etc. It's up to you to decide what you want to do, and then use it.
