Usage

To get started, signup for developer credentials on Embed Dashboard. Once you signup, you can retrieve you client_id and client_secret keys from the developer dashboard. Set your credentials in environment variables.

# Set environment variables
CLIENT_ID = CWRY-substitute-yours-here
CLIENT_SECRET = CWRY-SECRET-substitute-yours-here

# Create an instance of the Embed Client
from embed.client import Client
client = Client()

Alternatively, instantiate the Embed Client with your credentials. You can specify a base url during this instantiation. This is optional and defaults to the sandbox base url.

from embed.client import Client
client = Client(client_id='****', client_secret='****', base_url="https://***.cowrywise.com")

Create Accounts

# Create investment account for your customer
client.accounts.create_account(
   first_name= "Mansa",
   last_name= "Musa",
   email= "[e-mail]"
)

Create Investments

# You can invest in Assets (Mutual funds, Tbills, Stocks) or Indexes
# Get all available assets to invest in
client.assets.list_assets() or client.indexes.list_indexes()

# Create an investment with a given asset code
client.investments.create_investment(
    account_id="8ddfb5ea9fe440f9a7d086b7c8f14abd",
    asset_code="AST-FUND-1655862279",
)

Transfer funds

# Transfer funds from a wallet to a savings/investments with product code

  wallet_id='ec45bb798f244c75b9432ec19256316b',
  product_code='PRCDE1297453250',
