helloledger 0.1.0

Official Python SDK for HelloLedger API

HelloLedger Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the HelloLedger API. This SDK enables developers to integrate HelloLedger programmatically using API keys.

Installation

pip install helloledger

Quick Start

from helloledger import HelloLedger

# Initialize the client with your API credentials
client = HelloLedger(
    client_id="hl_live_abc123",
    secret_token="sk_live_xyz789",
    api_base="https://hlapi.azurewebsites.net"  # Optional, defaults to production
)

# List all companies accessible by your API key
companies = client.companies.list()

# Get a specific company
company = client.companies.get(company_id=123)

# List transactions for a company
transactions = client.transactions.list(company_id=123)

# Optional: Filter transactions by date
transactions = client.transactions.list(
    company_id=123,
    start_date="2025-01-01",
    end_date="2025-12-31"
)

Authentication

The SDK uses HTTP Basic Authentication with your API key credentials. You need to:

1. Sign up for a HelloLedger account
2. Generate an API key (client_id + secret_token)
3. Initialize the client with your credentials

Important: Keep your secret_token secure and never commit it to version control.

Error Handling

The SDK raises custom exceptions for different error scenarios:

from helloledger import HelloLedger
from helloledger.exceptions import (
    AuthenticationError,
    PermissionError,
    NotFoundError,
    APIError
)

client = HelloLedger(client_id="...", secret_token="...")

try:
    company = client.companies.get(company_id=123)
except NotFoundError:
    print("Company not found or not accessible")
except PermissionError:
    print("Your API key doesn't have access to this company")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API credentials")
except APIError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e.message} (Status: {e.status_code})")

Available Methods (Phase 1 - MVP)

Companies

• client.companies.list() - List all accessible companies
• client.companies.get(company_id) - Get a specific company

Transactions

• client.transactions.list(company_id, **kwargs) - List transactions for a company
  • Optional parameters: start_date, end_date, limit, offset

Context Manager

You can use the client as a context manager to ensure proper cleanup:

with HelloLedger(client_id="...", secret_token="...") as client:
    companies = client.companies.list()
    # Client is automatically closed when exiting the context

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• httpx >= 0.24.0
