card-management-sdk 3.0.0

The Shell Card Management API is REST-based and employs OAUTH 2.0,Basic and ApiKey authentication. The API endpoints accept JSON-encoded request bodies, return JSON-encoded responses and use standard HTTP response codes.

Getting Started with Shell Card Management APIs

Introduction

The Shell Card Management API provides secure and structured access to the Shell Card Platform, enabling integration with Shell’s internal systems for managing card-related resources.

This REST-based API uses the POST method for all operations—including retrieval, creation, update, and deletion of resources. It supports flexible search capabilities through JSON-encoded request bodies and returns JSON-formatted responses. Standard HTTP status codes are used to indicate the outcome of each request.

Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 using the Client Credentials flow. Access tokens must be included in the Authorization header of each request.

All resources are managed within the Shell Card Platform, which abstracts the complexity of backend systems. Some operations may be processed asynchronously, and clients should be prepared to handle delayed responses or polling mechanisms where applicable.

Install the Package

The package is compatible with Python versions 3.7+. Install the package from PyPi using the following pip command:

pip install card-management-sdk==3.0.0

You can also view the package at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/card-management-sdk/3.0.0

Test the SDK

You can test the generated SDK and the server with test cases. unittest is used as the testing framework and pytest is used as the test runner. You can run the tests as follows:

Navigate to the root directory of the SDK and run the following commands

pip install -r test-requirements.txt pytest

Initialize the API Client

Note: Documentation for the client can be found here.

The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

Parameter	Type	Description
environment	Environment	The API environment. Default: Environment.SIT
http_client_instance	Union[Session, HttpClientProvider]	The Http Client passed from the sdk user for making requests
override_http_client_configuration	bool	The value which determines to override properties of the passed Http Client from the sdk user
http_call_back	HttpCallBack	The callback value that is invoked before and after an HTTP call is made to an endpoint
timeout	float	The value to use for connection timeout. Default: 60
max_retries	int	The number of times to retry an endpoint call if it fails. Default: 0
backoff_factor	float	A backoff factor to apply between attempts after the second try. Default: 2
retry_statuses	Array of int	The http statuses on which retry is to be done. Default: [408, 413, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 521, 522, 524]
retry_methods	Array of string	The http methods on which retry is to be done. Default: ["GET", "PUT"]
proxy_settings	ProxySettings	Optional proxy configuration to route HTTP requests through a proxy server.
client_credentials_auth_credentials	ClientCredentialsAuthCredentials	The credential object for OAuth 2 Client Credentials Grant

The API client can be initialized as follows:

Code-Based Client Initialization

from shellcardmanagementapis.configuration import Environment
from shellcardmanagementapis.http.auth.o_auth_2 import ClientCredentialsAuthCredentials
from shellcardmanagementapis.shellcardmanagementapis_client import ShellcardmanagementapisClient

client = ShellcardmanagementapisClient(
    client_credentials_auth_credentials=ClientCredentialsAuthCredentials(
        o_auth_client_id='OAuthClientId',
        o_auth_client_secret='OAuthClientSecret'
    ),
    environment=Environment.SIT
)

Environment-Based Client Initialization

from shellcardmanagementapis.shellcardmanagementapis_client import ShellcardmanagementapisClient

# Specify the path to your .env file if it’s located outside the project’s root directory.
client = ShellcardmanagementapisClient.from_environment(dotenv_path='/path/to/.env')

See the Environment-Based Client Initialization section for details.

Environments

The SDK can be configured to use a different environment for making API calls. Available environments are:
