SDK Installation
The SDK can be installed with either pip or poetry package managers.
PIP
PIP is the default package installer for Python, enabling easy installation and management of packages from PyPI via the command line.
pip install codat-accounting
Poetry
Poetry is a modern tool that simplifies dependency management and package publishing by using a single pyproject.toml
file to handle project metadata and dependencies.
poetry add codat-accounting
Example Usage
IDE Support
PyCharm
Generally, the SDK will work well with most IDEs out of the box. However, when using PyCharm, you can enjoy much better integration with Pydantic by installing an additional plugin.
SDK Example Usage
Example
# Synchronous Example
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
s = CodatAccounting(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
The same SDK client can also be used to make asychronous requests by importing asyncio.
# Asynchronous Example
import asyncio
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
async def main():
s = CodatAccounting(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = await s.account_transactions.get_async(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",

File uploads
Certain SDK methods accept file objects as part of a request body or multi-part request. It is possible and typically recommended to upload files as a stream rather than reading the entire contents into memory. This avoids excessive memory consumption and potentially crashing with out-of-memory errors when working with very large files. The following example demonstrates how to attach a file stream to a request.
[!TIP]
For endpoints that handle file uploads bytes arrays can also be used. However, using streams is recommended for large files.
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
s = CodatAccounting(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
s.bills.upload_attachment(request={
"bill_id": "EILBDVJVNUAGVKRQ",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
# Use the SDK ...
Retries
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.
To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a RetryConfig
object to the call:
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
from codataccounting.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
s = CodatAccounting(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
},
RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False))
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the retry_config
optional parameter when initializing the SDK:
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
from codataccounting.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
s = CodatAccounting(
retry_config=RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False),
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
Error Handling
Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or raise an error. If Error objects are specified in your OpenAPI Spec, the SDK will raise the appropriate Error type.
Error Object | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
errors.ErrorMessage | 401,402,403,404,409,429,500,503 | application/json |
errors.SDKError | 4xx-5xx | / |
Example
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import errors, shared
s = CodatAccounting(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = None
try:
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
except errors.ErrorMessage as e:
# handle e.data: errors.ErrorMessageData
raise(e)
except errors.SDKError as e:
# handle exception
raise(e)
Server Selection
Select Server by Index
You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the server_idx: int
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:
# | Server | Variables |
---|---|---|
0 | https://api.codat.io |
None |
Example
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
s = CodatAccounting(
server_idx=0,
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
Override Server URL Per-Client
The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
s = CodatAccounting(
server_url="https://api.codat.io",
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
Custom HTTP Client
The Python SDK makes API calls using the httpx HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with your own HTTP client instance.
Depending on whether you are using the sync or async version of the SDK, you can pass an instance of HttpClient
or AsyncHttpClient
respectively, which are Protocol's ensuring that the client has the necessary methods to make API calls.
This allows you to wrap the client with your own custom logic, such as adding custom headers, logging, or error handling, or you can just pass an instance of httpx.Client
or httpx.AsyncClient
directly.
For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
import httpx
http_client = httpx.Client(headers={"x-custom-header": "someValue"})
s = CodatAccounting(client=http_client)
or you could wrap the client with your own custom logic:
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.httpclient import AsyncHttpClient
import httpx
class CustomClient(AsyncHttpClient):
client: AsyncHttpClient
def __init__(self, client: AsyncHttpClient):
self.client = client
async def send(
self,
request: httpx.Request,
*,
stream: bool = False,
auth: Union[
httpx._types.AuthTypes, httpx._client.UseClientDefault, None
] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
follow_redirects: Union[
bool, httpx._client.UseClientDefault
] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
) -> httpx.Response:
request.headers["Client-Level-Header"] = "added by client"
return await self.client.send(
request, stream=stream, auth=auth, follow_redirects=follow_redirects
)
def build_request(
self,
method: str,
url: httpx._types.URLTypes,
*,
content: Optional[httpx._types.RequestContent] = None,
data: Optional[httpx._types.RequestData] = None,
files: Optional[httpx._types.RequestFiles] = None,
json: Optional[Any] = None,
params: Optional[httpx._types.QueryParamTypes] = None,
headers: Optional[httpx._types.HeaderTypes] = None,
cookies: Optional[httpx._types.CookieTypes] = None,
timeout: Union[
httpx._types.TimeoutTypes, httpx._client.UseClientDefault
] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
extensions: Optional[httpx._types.RequestExtensions] = None,
) -> httpx.Request:
return self.client.build_request(
method,
url,
content=content,
data=data,
files=files,
json=json,
params=params,
headers=headers,
cookies=cookies,
timeout=timeout,
extensions=extensions,
)
s = CodatAccounting(async_client=CustomClient(httpx.AsyncClient()))
Authentication
Per-Client Security Schemes
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme |
---|---|---|
auth_header |
apiKey | API key |
You can set the security parameters through the security
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
from codat_accounting.models import shared
s = CodatAccounting(
security=shared.Security(
auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
),
)
res = s.account_transactions.get(request={
"account_transaction_id": "<value>",
"company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
"connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
})
if res is not None:
# handle response
pass
Debugging
You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.
You can pass your own logger class directly into your SDK.
from codat_accounting import CodatAccounting
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
s = CodatAccounting(debug_logger=logging.getLogger("codat_accounting"))
