📕 Documentation

How to use belvo-python: https://belvo-finance.github.io/belvo-python/

If you want to check the full documentation about Belvo API: https://developers.belvo.com

Or if you want to more information about:

• Getting Belvo API keys
• Using Connect Widget
• Testing in sandbox
• Using webhooks and recurrent links

📋 Requirements

• Python 3.6+

🚀 Getting started

Install using pip:

$ pip install belvo-python

Usage (create link via widget)

When your user successfully links their account using the Connect Widget, your implemented callback funciton will return the link_id required to make further API to retrieve information.

from pprint import pprint

from belvo.client import Client
from belvo.enums import AccessMode

# Login to Belvo API
client = Client("your-secret-key-id", "your-secret-key", "sandbox")

# Get the link_id from the result of your widget callback function
link_id = result_from_callback_function.id

# Get all accounts
client.Accounts.create(link=link_id)

# Pretty print all checking accounts
for account in client.Accounts.list(type="checking"):
    pprint(account)

Usage (create link via SDK)

You can also manually create the link using the SDK. However, for security purposes, we highly recommend, that you use the Connect Widget to create the link and follow the Usage (create link via widget) example.

from pprint import pprint

from belvo.client import Client
from belvo.enums import AccessMode

# Login to Belvo API
client = Client("your-secret-key-id", "your-secret-key", "sandbox")

# Register a link 
link = client.Links.create(
    institution="erebor_mx_retail",
    username="johndoe",
    password="supersecret",
    access_mode=AccessMode.SINGLE
)

# Get all accounts
client.Accounts.create(link=link["id"])

# Pretty print all checking accounts
for account in client.Accounts.list(type="checking"):
    pprint(account)

Errors and exceptions

By default, when you use our SDK, we automatically return the error. However, if you prefer to receive the exception, you need to set the raise_exception optional parameter to True.

from pprint import pprint
from belvo.client import Client
from belvo.enums import AccessMode
from belvo.exceptions import RequestError

# Login to Belvo API
client = Client("my-secret-key-id", "my-secret-key", "sandbox")

try:
    # Register a link
    link = client.Links.create(
        access_mode=AccessMode.SINGLE,
        institution="erebor_mx_retail",
        username="<username>",
        password="<pass>",
        raise_exception=True, # Set this optional paramter
    )
except RequestError as e:
    # do something with the error
    pprint(e)
else:
    # do something with the link
    pprint(link)

🐍 Development

To release a new version of the SDK to PyPI:
