from gst_irn import Session, Invoice, InvoiceItem

with open('public_key.pem') as f:
    public_key = f.read()

session = Session(
    'GSTIN',
    client_id='CLIENT_ID',
    client_secret='CLIENT_SECRET',
    username='USERNAME',
    password='PASSWORD',
    public_key=public_key,
    is_sandbox=True,
)

session.generate_token()

# create invoice object
# use Session.get_party to automatically fetch details
# or use Party() to provide details manually
seller = session.get_party('SELLER_GSTIN')
buyer = session.get_party('BUYER_GSTIN')
items = [
    InvoiceItem(
        hsn_sac='HSN_SAC',
    )
]

# provide document details for the invoice
invoice = Invoice(
    no="DOC/0001",
    dt=dt.date(2022, 5, 19),
    items=items,
    seller=seller,
    buyer=buyer,
)

# submit and get the e-invoice
einvoice = session.generate_einvoice(invoice)

# access irn and qr-code
print(einvoice['Irn'])
# prints irn

# print qr-code
from gst_irn.qr import get_qr_code_image_html
qr_code_image = get_qr_code_image_html(einvoice['SignedQRCode'])
qr_code_image
# prints <img src="...">
