Usage

To get started, sign up for your developer credentials on the Embed Dashboard. Once you have signed up, you can retrieve your client_id and client_secret keys from the developer dashboard. Set your credentials in the environment variables before creating an instance of the Embed Client.

Initialization

from embed.client import Client

# Initialize with environment variables (CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)
client = Client()

# Or initialize with explicit credentials
client = Client(
    client_id='your_client_id',
    client_secret='your_client_secret',
    base_url="https://sandbox.cowrywise.com"  # Optional
)

Example: Creating an Account and Investment

# 1. Create a user account
account = client.account.create_account(
    first_name="John",
    last_name="Doe",
    email="[e-mail]",
    terms_of_use_accepted=True
)
account_id = account['data']['account_id']

# 2. List available assets
assets = client.asset.list_assets(asset_type="tbills")

# 3. Create an investment
investment = client.investment.create_investment(
    account_id=account_id,
    asset_code="AST-TBILL-0001",
    amount=10000.0
