conxa-sdk 1.3.0

Python SDK for integrating CONXA Wallet payments into AI services

CONXA Python SDK

Official Python SDK for integrating CONXA Wallet payments into AI services.

Overview

CONXA is a universal wallet for AI services. This SDK enables AI providers (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to:

1. Generate QR codes for users to connect their CONXA wallet
2. Detect connections when users scan and approve
3. Charge users for AI usage (pay-per-token)
4. Check balances and manage sessions

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install conxa-sdk

# With QR code generation support
pip install conxa-sdk[qr]

# From source
pip install .

Quick Start

from conxa import CONXAClient

# Initialize with your API key
client = CONXAClient(
    api_key="pk_live_your_api_key",
    provider_id="your_provider_id",
)

# 1. Generate QR code for user to scan
qr = client.create_payment_qr(
    provider_username="[e-mail]",
    expires_in=10  # Optional: QR expires after 10 seconds
)
print(f"Show this QR to user: {qr.qr_base64}")

# 2. Wait for user to connect (or poll manually)
session = client.wait_for_connection(
    provider_username="[e-mail]",
    timeout=120,  # Wait up to 2 minutes
    qr_data=qr,  # Pass QR data to check expiration
)
print(f"User connected! Token: {session.session_token}")

# 3. Charge for AI usage
result = client.charge(
    session_token=session.session_token,
    model_name="gpt-4",
    input_tokens=1000,
    output_tokens=500,
)

if result.approved:
    print(f"Charged! New balance: {result.new_balance} tokens")
else:
    print(f"Failed: {result.error}")

API Reference

CONXAClient

Main client class for interacting with CONXA API.

client = CONXAClient(
    api_key="pk_live_xxx",           # Required: Your API key
    provider_id="your_provider_id",   # Required: Your provider ID
    base_url="https://api.conxa.in",  # Optional: API base URL
    timeout=30,                       # Optional: Request timeout
    provider_type="api",              # Optional: "api" or "web"
)

Methods

create_payment_qr(provider_username, limit=None, size=300, expires_in=None)

Generate a QR code for user to scan and connect.

qr = client.create_payment_qr(
    provider_username="[e-mail]",
    limit=50000,      # Optional: spending limit in tokens
    size=300,         # Optional: image size in pixels
    expires_in=10,    # Optional: QR expires after N seconds (default: None)
)

# Returns QRCodeData:
# - qr.qr_data: JSON string to encode
# - qr.qr_image: PIL Image object
# - qr.qr_base64: Base64 PNG for HTML <img> tag
# - qr.created_at: Timestamp when QR was created
# - qr.expires_at: Timestamp when QR expires (if expires_in is set)
# - qr.is_expired(): Method to check if QR has expired

QR Code Expiration:

If expires_in is set, the QR code will automatically expire after the specified number of seconds. This is useful for security and ensuring users generate fresh QR codes:

# Generate QR that expires after 10 seconds
qr = client.create_payment_qr(
    provider_username="[e-mail]",
    expires_in=10
)

# Check if QR has expired
if qr.is_expired():
    print("QR code expired! Generate a new one.")
    qr = client.create_payment_qr(provider_username="[e-mail]", expires_in=10)

get_session_status(provider_username, retry_on_rate_limit=True, max_retries=3, qr_data=None)

Check if user has connected their wallet. Automatically handles rate limiting with exponential backoff.

qr = client.create_payment_qr("[e-mail]", expires_in=10)
status = client.get_session_status(
    "[e-mail]",
    qr_data=qr,  # Optional: Check if QR has expired
    retry_on_rate_limit=True,  # Auto-retry on rate limits
    max_retries=3,  # Max retry attempts
)

# Returns SessionStatus:
# - status.status: "pending", "active", "expired", "not_found"
# - status.session_token: Token for charges (if active)
# - status.expires_at: Session expiration time
# - status.is_active: Boolean helper

# Raises SessionExpiredError if QR code has expired

Rate Limit Handling:

The SDK automatically retries on rate limit errors (429) with exponential backoff. If qr_data is provided and the QR has expired, it will raise SessionExpiredError instead of polling.

wait_for_connection(provider_username, timeout=120, poll_interval=2, on_pending=None, rate_limit_timeout=10, qr_data=None)

Block until user connects or timeout. Automatically handles rate limiting and QR expiration.

qr = client.create_payment_qr("[e-mail]", expires_in=10)

session = client.wait_for_connection(
    provider_username="[e-mail]",
    timeout=120,              # Maximum wait time in seconds
    poll_interval=2,         # Time between status checks
    on_pending=lambda s: print("Waiting..."),  # Callback on each poll
    rate_limit_timeout=10,   # Close QR after N seconds of rate limiting
    qr_data=qr,             # Optional: Check QR expiration
)

# Raises:
# - ConnectionTimeoutError: If user doesn't connect within timeout
# - SessionExpiredError: If QR expires or rate limited for too long

Features:

• Automatic retry on rate limit errors with exponential backoff
• QR expiration checking (if qr_data provided)
• Rate limit timeout protection (closes QR after extended rate limiting)

charge(session_token, model_name, input_tokens, output_tokens)

Charge user for AI usage.

result = client.charge(
    session_token="ps_xxx",
    model_name="gpt-4",
    input_tokens=1000,
    output_tokens=500,
)

# Returns ChargeResult:
# - result.approved: Boolean
# - result.new_balance: Remaining tokens
# - result.error: Error message (if failed)

get_wallet_balance(wallet_id)

Get wallet token balance (public endpoint).

balance = client.get_wallet_balance("1234567890123456")
# Returns: WalletBalance(wallet_id, tokens)

Exception Handling

from conxa import (
    CONXAError,
    AuthenticationError,
    InsufficientBalanceError,
    SessionExpiredError,
    ConnectionTimeoutError,
    RateLimitError,
)

try:
    # Generate QR with expiration
    qr = client.create_payment_qr("[e-mail]", expires_in=10)
    
    # Wait for connection
    session = client.wait_for_connection("[e-mail]", qr_data=qr)
    
    # Charge user
    result = client.charge(...)
    
except SessionExpiredError as e:
    print("QR code or session expired - user needs to reconnect")
    # Generate new QR code
    qr = client.create_payment_qr("[e-mail]", expires_in=10)
    
except InsufficientBalanceError as e:
    print(f"User has insufficient balance: {e.current_balance} tokens")
    
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limit exceeded. Retry after: {e.retry_after} seconds")
    # SDK automatically retries, but you can handle manually if needed
    
except ConnectionTimeoutError:
    print("User did not connect within timeout period")
    
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")
    
except CONXAError as e:
    print(f"CONXA error: {e}")

Web Framework Integration

Flask

from flask import Flask, session, jsonify
from conxa import CONXAClient

app = Flask(__name__)
client = CONXAClient(api_key="pk_live_xxx", provider_id="xxx")

@app.route("/connect")
def connect():
    # Generate QR that expires after 10 seconds
    qr = client.create_payment_qr(
        provider_username=session["user_email"],
        expires_in=10

FastAPI

from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from conxa import CONXAClient

app = FastAPI()
client = CONXAClient(api_key="pk_live_xxx", provider_id="xxx")

@app.post("/connect")
async def connect(user_id: str):
    # Generate QR that expires after 10 seconds
    qr = client.create_payment_qr(
        provider_username=user_id,
        expires_in=10
    )
    return {
        "qr_base64": qr.qr_base64,
        "expires_at": qr.expires_at.isoformat() if qr.expires_at else None,
    }

@app.post("/chat")
async def chat(user_id: str, message: str, qr_data: dict = None):
    # Check if QR has expired (if provided)
    qr = None
    if qr_data:
        from conxa.models import QRCodeData
        from datetime import datetime
        qr = QRCodeData(
            qr_data="",
            created_at=datetime.fromisoformat(qr_data["created_at"]) if qr_data.get("created_at") else None,
            expires_at=datetime.fromisoformat(qr_data["expires_at"]) if qr_data.get("expires_at") else None,
        )
    
    try:
        status = client.get_session_status(user_id, qr_data=qr)

Configuration

Environment Variables

# API Configuration
CONXA_API_KEY=pk_live_your_api_key
CONXA_PROVIDER_ID=your_provider_id
CONXA_API_URL=https://api.conxa.in  # Optional

Using environment variables:

import os
from conxa import CONXAClient

client = CONXAClient(
    api_key=os.getenv("CONXA_API_KEY"),
    provider_id=os.getenv("CONXA_PROVIDER_ID"),
)

Advanced Features

QR Code Expiration

QR codes can be set to expire after a specified duration for security:

# Generate QR that expires after 10 seconds
qr = client.create_payment_qr(
    provider_username="[e-mail]",
    expires_in=10
)

# Check expiration status
if qr.is_expired():
    # Generate new QR
    qr = client.create_payment_qr("[e-mail]", expires_in=10)

# When checking status, pass QR data to validate expiration
try:
    status = client.get_session_status("[e-mail]", qr_data=qr)
except SessionExpiredError:
    print("QR expired - generate a new one")

Rate Limit Handling

The SDK automatically handles rate limiting with exponential backoff:

# Automatic retry on rate limits (default behavior)
status = client.get_session_status(
    "[e-mail]",
    retry_on_rate_limit=True,  # Auto-retry (default)
    max_retries=3,              # Max retry attempts
)

# Manual rate limit handling
try:
    status = client.get_session_status("[e-mail]", retry_on_rate_limit=False)
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after: {e.retry_after} seconds")
    time.sleep(e.retry_after or 60)
    status = client.get_session_status("[e-mail]")

Best Practices

1. Always set QR expiration for security:

   qr = client.create_payment_qr(username, expires_in=10)
   

2. Pass QR data when checking status to validate expiration:

   status = client.get_session_status(username, qr_data=qr)
   

3. Handle expiration gracefully:

   try:
       session = client.wait_for_connection(username, qr_data=qr)
   except SessionExpiredError:
       # Generate new QR and try again
       qr = client.create_payment_qr(username, expires_in=10)
   

4. Use rate limit timeout in wait_for_connection:

   session = client.wait_for_connection(
       username,
       rate_limit_timeout=10,  # Close QR after 10s of rate limiting
       qr_data=qr
   )
