BasisTheory Python Library
The BasisTheory Python library provides convenient access to the BasisTheory API from Python.
Documentation
API reference documentation is available here.
Installation
pip install BasisTheoryClient
Usage
Instantiate and use the client with the following:
from basis_theory import BasisTheory
client = BasisTheory(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
client.tenants.self_.get()
Async Client
The SDK also exports an async client so that you can make non-blocking calls to our API.
import asyncio
from basis_theory import AsyncBasisTheory
client = AsyncBasisTheory(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
async def main() -> None:
await client.tenants.self_.get()
asyncio.run(main())
Exception Handling
When the API returns a non-success status code (4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of the following error will be thrown.
from basis_theory.core.api_error import ApiError
try:
client.tenants.self_.get(...)
except ApiError as e:
print(e.status_code)
print(e.body)
Pagination
Paginated requests will return a SyncPager or AsyncPager, which can be used as generators for the underlying object.
from basis_theory import BasisTheory
client = BasisTheory(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
response = client.applications.list()
for item in response:
yield item
# alternatively, you can paginate page-by-page
for page in response.iter_pages():
yield page
Advanced
Retries
The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long as the request is deemed retriable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured retry limit (default: 2).
A request is deemed retriable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:
Use the max_retries request option to configure this behavior.
client.tenants.self_.get(..., {
"max_retries": 1
})
Timeouts
The SDK defaults to a 60 second timeout. You can configure this with a timeout option at the client or request level.
from basis_theory import BasisTheory
client = BasisTheory(
...,
timeout=20.0,
)
# Override timeout for a specific method
client.tenants.self_.get(..., {
"timeout_in_seconds": 1
})
Custom Client
You can override the httpx client to customize it for your use-case. Some common use-cases include support for proxies
and transports.
import httpx
from basis_theory import BasisTheory
client = BasisTheory(
...,
httpx_client=httpx.Client(
proxies="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
),
)
Contributing
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!
On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
