Client for the Bridge open banking API aggregator
Project description
bridgeapi
bridgeapi
is a client for the Bridge open banking API aggregator (API documentation).
Requirements
Python 3.10+
Installation
pip install bridgeapi
Example
from bridgeapi import AppClient, UserClient
app_client = AppClient("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
app_client.list_banks()
app_client.list_users()
app_client.create_user("john@doe.com", "password")
...
user_client = UserClient("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET", "john@doe.com", "password")
user_client.list_items()
user_client.connect_item()
user_client.list_accounts()
user_client.list_transactions()
...
API endpoints are split between two clients:
AppClient
handles all application-scoped endpoints, that don't depend on a user being authenticated. It only needs (client_id, client_secret) credentials to communicate with the API.UserClient
handles user-scoped endpoints, those that are specific to a user and require an access token and theAuthorization
header to communicate with the API. It needs (user_email, user_password) credentials, in addition to the same client credentials asAppClient
.
All API client methods return a Pydantic model mapping exactly the schema of the API response. The
raw response object can be accessed with the .response
property:
result = app_client.list_banks()
result # PaginatedResult[Bank]
result.response # <Response [200]>
result.response.json() # JSON-parsed raw response body
Paginated results
API endpoints that return a list of results are paginated, i.e. they don't return the complete
list of objects in one result but in chunks (called pages). When calling a list API endpoint, the
first page of results is returned. Existence of more pages can be checked with .has_more()
.
Subsequent pages can be retrieved by calling .next_page()
:
from bridgeapi import AppClient
app_client = AppClient("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
banks = app_client.list_banks(limit=2)
print(banks.resources) # List of 2 Bank instances
print(banks.has_more()) # True
banks = banks.next_page()
print(banks.resources) # List of 2 other Bank instances
The entire list of objects can be retrieved by calling .fetch_all()
on the first page returned
by the API. Attempting to call it on a subsequent page will result in an error. Beware of
potentially large collections, you may exceed API or memory limits, or wait for a long time. You
may also want to increase the limit
parameter.
from bridgeapi import AppClient
app_client = AppClient("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
banks = app_client.list_banks(limit=100)
print(banks.fetch_all()) # List of all banks
banks.next_page().fetch_all() # PaginationError
User authentication management
The simplest usage of UserClient
is to it handle all the authorization lifecyle. It will
automatically obtain an access token and renew it when it expires (after 2 hours):
user_client = UserClient("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET", "john@doe.com", "password")
print(user_client.list_items()) # OK
# 2+ hours later
print(user_client.list_items()) # OK
If you wish to manage the user authorization lifecycle yourself, pass auto_renew=False
at
creation. You will need to call .renew_auth()
manually:
user_client = UserClient(
"CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET", "john@doe.com", "password", auto_renew=False
)
print(user_client.is_authenticated()) # False
user_client.list_items() # UserAuthenticationError
user_client.renew_auth()
print(user_client.is_authenticated()) # True
print(user_client.list_items()) # OK
# 2+ hours later
print(user_client.is_authenticated()) # False
user_client.renew_auth()
print(user_client.is_authenticated()) # True
Additionally, if you are managing user tokens externally and persisting them to external storage, you can provide them at creation as well:
user_client = UserClient(
"CLIENT_ID",
"CLIENT_SECRET",
"john@doe.com",
"password",
user_uuid="uuid",
access_token="token",
expires_at=datetime, # "yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS"
auto_renew=False,
)
print(user_client.is_authenticated()) # True
user_client.list_items() # OK
# Generate and store new authorization info
auth_info = user_client.renew_auth()
store_user_auth_to_db(
user_email=auth_info.user.email,
user_uuid=auth_info.user.uuid,
access_token=auth_info.access_token,
expires_at=auth_info.expires_at,
)
