The same SDK client can also be used to make asychronous requests by importing asyncio.

# Asynchronous Example

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.

from codat_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.models import shared

with CodatBankFeeds(
    security=shared.Security(
        auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
    ),
) as codat_bank_feeds:
    res = codat_bank_feeds.source_accounts.generate_credentials(request={
        "request_body": open("example.file", "rb"),
        "company_id": "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
        "connection_id": "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
    })

    if res is not None:
        # handle response
        pass

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_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.models import shared
from codat_bankfeeds.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig

with CodatBankFeeds(
    security=shared.Security(
        auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
    ),
) as codat_bank_feeds:
    res = codat_bank_feeds.companies.create(request={
        "name": "Technicalium",
        "description": "Requested early access to the new financing scheme.",
    },
        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_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.models import shared
from codat_bankfeeds.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig

with CodatBankFeeds(
    retry_config=RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False),
    security=shared.Security(
        auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
    ),
) as codat_bank_feeds:
    res = codat_bank_feeds.companies.create(request={
        "name": "Technicalium",
        "description": "Requested early access to the new financing scheme.",
    })

    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 exception.

By default, an API error will raise a errors.SDKError exception, which has the following properties:

Property Type Description
.status_code int The HTTP status code
.message str The error message
.raw_response httpx.Response The raw HTTP response
.body str The response content

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also raise their associated exceptions. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the create_async method may raise the following exceptions:

Error Type Status Code Content Type
errors.ErrorMessage 400, 401, 402, 403, 429, 500, 503 application/json
errors.SDKError 4XX, 5XX */*

Example

from codat_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.models import errors, shared

with CodatBankFeeds(
    security=shared.Security(
        auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
    ),
) as codat_bank_feeds:
    res = None
    try:
        res = codat_bank_feeds.companies.create(request={
            "name": "Technicalium",
            "description": "Requested early access to the new financing scheme.",
        })

        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

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_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.models import shared

with CodatBankFeeds(
    server_url="https://api.codat.io",
    security=shared.Security(
        auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
    ),
) as codat_bank_feeds:
    res = codat_bank_feeds.companies.create(request={
        "name": "Technicalium",
        "description": "Requested early access to the new financing scheme.",
    })

    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_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
import httpx

http_client = httpx.Client(headers={"x-custom-header": "someValue"})
s = CodatBankFeeds(client=http_client)

or you could wrap the client with your own custom logic:

from codat_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.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 = CodatBankFeeds(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_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
from codat_bankfeeds.models import shared

with CodatBankFeeds(
    security=shared.Security(
        auth_header="Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
    ),
) as codat_bank_feeds:
    res = codat_bank_feeds.companies.create(request={
        "name": "Technicalium",
        "description": "Requested early access to the new financing scheme.",
    })

    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_bankfeeds import CodatBankFeeds
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
s = CodatBankFeeds(debug_logger=logging.getLogger("codat_bankfeeds"))
