Quick Start

The factpulse_helpers module provides a simplified API with automatic authentication and polling:

from factpulse_helpers import (
    FactPulseClient,
    amount,
    total_amount,
    invoice_line,
    vat_line,
    supplier,
    recipient,
)

# Create the client
client = FactPulseClient(
    email="[e-mail]",
    password="your_password"
)

# Build the invoice with helpers
invoice_data = {
    "number": "INV-2025-001",
    "date": "2025-01-15",

            rate="20.00",
        )
    ],

# Generate the Factur-X PDF
with open("source_invoice.pdf", "rb") as f:
    pdf_source = f.read()

pdf_bytes = client.generate_facturx(
    invoice_data=invoice_data,
    pdf_source=pdf_source,
    profile="EN16931",
    sync=True,
)

with open("facturx_invoice.pdf", "wb") as f:
    f.write(pdf_bytes)
