SDK of CoinGate API for Python 3+

Project description

# CoinGate API SDK (API v2)

The repo contains Python 3 SDK for [CoinGate API v2](https://developer.coingate.com/docs/api-overview).
This is open source library is provided by [SociumNET](https://socium.net) team and it is used in some internal
projects.

## Installation

You can install the library using PIP:

`$ pip install coingate_api`

## Quick start

Try it:
```python
from coingate_api import CoingateAPI


api = CoingateAPI(auth_token='your-auth-token', environment='sandbox')
print(api.ping())
```

Only replace "your-auth-token" to your token from CoinGate of CoinGate sandbox

## How to

Default behavior of API uses retries for requests:

* 3 retries
* with back-off factor 0.2
* http statuses of response for retries: 500, 502, 504

You can change all these params by initialization of API client:
```python
from coingate_api import CoingateAPI
api = CoingateAPI(auth_token='your-auth-token', environment='sandbox',
retries=5, backoff_factor=0.5, status_forcelist=(500, 502, 504, 505))

```

#### Methods of API:

* `api.test_connection()` - tests authentication. Should return simple "OK"
* `api.ping()` - tests connection to server. Should return "pong"
* `api.exchange_rate(from_='EUR', to='USD')` - check documentation of API
* `api.exchange_rates()` - check documentation of API
* `api.ip_addresses()` - check documentation of API
* `api.orders(per_page=100, page=1, sort='created_at_desc', **kwargs)` - check documentation of API.
Values of kwargs can contain also `created_at_from` and `created_at_to`
* `api.checkout(order_id, pay_currency='BTC')` - check documentation of API
* `api.create_order(price_amount, price_currency, receive_currency, **kwargs)` - check documentation of API.
Values of kwargs can contain also `order_id`, `title`, `description`, `callback_url`, `cancel_url`, `success_url`, `token`


#### Exceptions

```python
from coingate_api import CoingateAPI, api_error

api = CoingateAPI(auth_token='your-auth-token', environment='sandbox')

try:
print(api.test_connection())
except api_error.APIError as e:
print(e)

```

Exceptions hierarchy:

* `APIError`
* `Unauthorized`
* `BadCredentials`
* `BadAuthToken`
* `AccountBlocked`
* `IPAddressIsNotAllowed`
* `NotFound`
* `PageNotFound`
* `RecordNotFound`
* `OrderNotFound`
* `UnprocessableEntity`
* `OrderIsNotValid`
* `RateLimitError`
* `InternalServerError` - notice that client will do retries for this error by default
