EPS Python SDK

Backend-only Python client for Eko Platform Services APIs — DMT, AePS, BBPS, KYC and verification — with HMAC request signing built in.

pip install eps-sdk

from eps_sdk import EpsClient

client = EpsClient(
    developer_key="<your_developer_key>",
    access_key="<your_access_key>",
    environment="sandbox",      # or "production"
    initiator_id="9962981729",  # registered mobile of the API user
    user_code="20810200",       # retailer/agent code
    timeout=30.0,               # whole-request budget in seconds (default)
)

sender = client.call("dmt-get-sender", {"customer_id": "9123456789"})

One generic call(slug, params) covers every endpoint. The slug list, each endpoint's params and which of them are required all come from the same generated API surface the docs are built from, so the client validates your input before it signs and sends anything.

timeout is the whole-request budget in seconds, defaulting to 30.0 — the same 30s every EPS SDK defaults to. (Node names its knob timeout_ms / timeoutMs because it is milliseconds there.) The response and error contract is shared by all five SDKs; see docs/sdk-golden-vector.md.

Backend only

access_key signs every request. Never run this in anything a browser can reach — a leaked access key lets anyone transact as you.

What it does for you

• Signs the request — secret-key, secret-key-timestamp and developer_key headers on every call.
• Validates first — missing required params and wrong types raise EpsError before a request goes out.
• Routes the params — path tokens, query string, JSON body, or multipart/form-data for file-upload endpoints, per the endpoint's spec.
• Fails loudly — a non-2xx response raises EpsHttpError (with the decoded envelope on .body); a non-JSON body raises rather than returning {}.
• Never loses a transaction — every non-GET call carries a client_ref_id (yours, or a generated 15-char one). A money-moving call that times out is looked up by that ref and surfaced as EpsIndeterminateError with the inquiry result attached, never silently re-sent.
• Retries the safe things — a GET that times out or gets a 429/5xx is retried with jittered backoff (retries, default 2); non-GET calls are never re-sent.
• Validates values too — spec-driven format / enum / range / length rules (dates, PAN, IFSC, client_ref_id …) fail before the request is signed.

Files can be a path or an in-memory pair:

client.call("activate-aeps-fingpay", {
    "pan_card": "/path/to/pan.jpg",
    "aadhar_front": ("aadhar.jpg", image_bytes),
    # ...
})

Reconciling an indeterminate transaction:

from eps_sdk import EpsIndeterminateError

try:
    client.call("bbps-pay-bill", {...})
except EpsIndeterminateError as err:
    # err.client_ref_id — persist it; err.status_check["data"]["tx_status"]:
    # "0" success, "1" fail, "2" awaited. Inquire again later with
    # client.call("transaction-inquiry", {"transaction-reference": f"client_ref_id:{err.client_ref_id}"})
    ...

Knobs: retries (2), retry_base_delay (0.2 s), auto_status_check (True).

Zero dependencies

Standard library only (urllib, hmac, json). Nothing to keep patched.

Development

The runtime asset data/sdk-surface.json is generated from the API specs, not committed. From the repo root:

npm run build                            # bakes data/sdk-surface.json
cd packages/sdk-python
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests

The test suite is the cross-language conformance suite described in docs/sdk-golden-vector.md — the same cases the Node.js and PHP SDKs must pass.
