Next you can go ahead with iSwitch.

Install

pip install iswitch

API

The iSwitch Python library's API is designed around the SWITCHPAY REST API

Settings

from iswitch import Client

# Creating a client
client = Client(
    configs = {
        'host':'',                          # Your API Host or localhost:9000 by Default
        'service': 'SEMOA',                 # The Provider Service to use
        'raise_on_error': False,            # If True, client will raise on request errors
        'credentials':{
            'username':'YOUR-APP-USERNAME',
            'password':'YOUR-APP-PASSWORD',
        }
    }
)

Authentication

response = client.authenticate()

if not response.has_error:
    print(type(response))      # <class 'iswitch._types.Response'>
    data = response.json
    ...
else :
    print(type(response))      # <class 'iswitch._types.ErrorResponse'>

Get active application

app = client.get_application()

Providres

Get Provider

provider = client.get_provider()

List Providers

response = client.list_providers()

Transactions

Create Order

# Creating order for SEMOA Transaction.
semoa_order = {
    'merchant_reference': '13fx5er5v7',
    'client': {
        'last_name': 'Doe',
        'first_name': 'John',
        'phone': '+123456789',
    }
}

# Creating order for CINETPAY Transaction.
cinetpay_order = {
    'transaction_id': '123456',
    'currency': 'XOF',
    'description': 'YOUR-ORDER-DESCRIPTION',
    'customer_name': 'Doe',
    'customer_surname': 'John',
}

Create Transaction

from iSwitch import Client, Transaction

# Initializing Client
client = Client(
    configs = {
        'host':'',
        'service': 'CINETPAY',
        'raise_on_error': False,
        'credentials':{
            'username':'YOUR-APP-USERNAME',
            'password':'WRONG-PASSWORD',
        }
    }
)

# Creating Transaction
transaction = Transaction(
    amount = 250,
    callback_url = 'YOUR-CALLBACK-URL',
    return_url='YOUR-RETURN/REDIRECT-URL',
    order = cinetpay_order
)

response = client.create_transaction(transaction)
print(type(response))       # <Class Response status: 201 error: False>

List Transactions

To list transactions you can use list_transactions function.

response = client.list_transactions()

Retrieve Transaction

To get a specific transaction you can use the get_transaction function.

response = client.get_transaction(transaction_id)

Get a Specific Transaction payment url

You can also get a payment URL for a specific Transaction using get_bill_url function.

response = client.get_bill_url(transaction_id)

Responses

• Response class

The default Request response class, is returned when detail is set to True in the request.

response = client.create_transaction(my_transaction)

print(response)         # <Class Response status: 201, error: False>

# Use json attribute to access response data.
print(response.json)   # {"id":transaction_id,...}

• PagginatedResponse Class

PagginatedResponse is used to manage Pagginated response data. It provides properties such as :

• has_next : bool , True if the PagginatedResponse has a next page else False.
• has_prev : bool, True if the PagginatedResponse has a next page else False
• next_page : PagginatedResponse, the next page if has_next is True
• previous_page : PagginatedResponse, the next page if has_prev is True
• result : sequence[ Mapping[ str,any ] ], the page data.

Errors

Errors are raised if requests return an error status.

• ErrorResponse class

This Error is returned if raise_on_error is set to True in Client configs.

from iSwitch import Client

client = Client(
    configs = {
        'host':'',
        'service': 'SEMOA',
        'raise_on_error': False,
        'credentials':{
            'username':'YOUR-APP-USERNAME',
            'password':'WRONG-PASSWORD',
        }
    }
)

# Do Authentication
response = Client.authenticate()

# With raise_on_error set to False
print(type(response))           # <class 'iswitch._types.ErrorResponse'>
print(response.get_message())   # Invalid password.

• ResponseError class

This Error is raised if raise_on_error is set to True in Client configs.

from iSwitch import Client

client = Client(
    configs = {
        'host':'',
        'service': 'SEMOA',
        'raise_on_error': True,
        'credentials':{
            'username':'YOUR-APP-USERNAME',
            'password':'WRONG-PASSWORD',
        }
    }
)

# Do Authentication
response = Client.authenticate()        # Will raise a ResponseError with response message.
