Installation

pip install jokoor

poetry add jokoor

pipenv install jokoor

Quick Start

from jokoor import Jokoor
from datetime import datetime, timezone  # For scheduled operations

# Initialize the client
client = Jokoor('sk_test_your_api_key')

# Send an SMS message
sms, error = client.sms.send(
    recipient_phone='[phone]',
    message_body='Hello from Jokoor!'
)

if error:
    print(f'Error: {error}')
else:
    print(f'SMS sent: {sms["id"]}')

Note on DateTime Parameters: For scheduled operations, you can use either ISO 8601 strings or Python datetime objects:

# Option 1: ISO 8601 string (recommended)
scheduled_at='2024-12-25T10:00:00Z'

# Option 2: Python datetime object
from datetime import datetime, timezone
scheduled_at=datetime(2024, 12, 25, 10, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc)

Authentication

Get your API keys from the Jokoor Dashboard.

API Key Types

• Secret keys (sk_test_xxx, sk_live_xxx) - Full API access, use server-side only
• Publishable keys (pk_test_xxx, pk_live_xxx) - Limited access for client-side operations

Test vs Live Mode

• Test keys (_test_) - For testing and development, no real charges
• Live keys (_live_) - For production use with real transactions

# Test environment
test_client = Jokoor('sk_test_your_api_key')

# Production environment
live_client = Jokoor('sk_live_your_api_key')

Configuration

from jokoor import Jokoor

client = Jokoor(
    api_key='sk_test_xxx',
    base_url='https://api.jokoor.com/v1',  # Optional: custom API URL
    timeout=30,                             # Optional: request timeout (seconds)
    max_retries=3,                          # Optional: max retry attempts
    debug=False,                            # Optional: enable debug logging
)

Error Handling

The SDK uses a tuple return pattern (data, error) instead of raising exceptions:

# Success case
sms, error = client.sms.send(
    recipient_phone='[phone]',
    message_body='Hello!'
)

if error:
    print(f'Error: {error}')
    return

# Use data
print(f'SMS sent: {sms["id"]}')

API Reference

SMS

Send SMS

sms, error = client.sms.send(
    recipient_phone='[phone]',
    message_body='Your verification code is 123456',
    sender_id='MyApp',              # Optional
    scheduled_at='2024-12-25T10:00:00Z',  # Optional
    is_draft=False,                 # Optional
)

Get SMS Message

sms, error = client.sms.get('msg_123')

List SMS Messages

result, error = client.sms.list(
    offset=0,
    limit=20,
    status='delivered',
    start_date='2024-01-01T00:00:00Z',
    end_date='2024-12-31T23:59:59Z',
)

if result:
    print(f"Total: {result['count']}")
    for sms in result['items']:
        print(sms['id'])

Payment Links

Create Payment Link

link, error = client.payment_links.create(
    title='Premium Subscription',
    amount='500.00',
    currency='GMD',
    description='Monthly premium features',
    success_url='https://example.com/success',
    failure_url='https://example.com/cancel',
)

if link:
    # Share this URL with customers
    print(f"Payment URL: {link['payment_url']}")
    # Example: https://pay.jokoor.com/pay/pl_abc123

Note: Payment links have hosted payment pages. Customers visit the payment_url to complete payment - no need to call the initialize endpoint.

List Payment Links

result, error = client.payment_links.list(limit=20, status='active')

Checkouts

Checkouts support both hosted pages and custom integration.

Option 1: Hosted Checkout Page (Simple)

checkout, error = client.checkouts.create(
    amount='100.00',
    currency='GMD',
    description='Service payment',
)

if checkout:
    # Share payment_url with customer
    print(f"Send customer to: {checkout['payment_url']}")
    # https://pay.jokoor.com/checkout/chk_abc123
    # Customer completes payment on hosted page

Option 2: Custom SDK Integration (Full Control)

# Step 1: Create checkout
checkout, error = client.checkouts.create(
    amount='100.00',
    currency='GMD',
    description='Service payment',
)

if error:
    print(f'Error: {error}')
    exit()

# Step 2: Initialize with client_secret
session, error = client.payments.initialize(
    client_secret=checkout['client_secret'],
    payment_method='wave',
    customer_phone='[phone]',
    customer_email='[e-mail]',
)

if session:
    # Redirect customer to payment provider
    print(f"Redirect to: {session['payment_url']}")

Initialize Payment (Embedded Checkout)

Use this endpoint when building a custom payment UI with checkouts.

# After creating a checkout with client_secret
session, error = client.payments.initialize(
    client_secret=checkout['client_secret'],
    payment_method='wave',
    customer_phone='[phone]',
    customer_email='[e-mail]',
    customer_name='John Doe',
)

if session:
    # Redirect customer to payment provider
    print(f"Redirect to: {session['payment_url']}")

When to use:

• ✅ Embedded checkout integrations (custom payment UI)
• ❌ NOT for payment links, donations, or invoices (they have hosted pages)

Invoices

Create Invoice

invoice, error = client.invoices.create(
    customer_email='[e-mail]',
    customer_name='John Doe',
    items=[
        {
            'description': 'Consulting Services',
            'quantity': 10,
            'unit_price': '50.00',
        },
    ],
    currency='GMD',
    due_date='2024-12-31T23:59:59Z',
    tax_rate=15,  # Optional: 15% tax
)

if invoice:
    print(f"Invoice Number: {invoice['invoice_number']}")
    print(f"Payment URL: {invoice['payment_url']}")  # Customer pays here
    print(f"PDF URL: {invoice['pdf_url']}")          # Download PDF

Record Offline Payment

For cash, bank transfers, checks, etc. (NOT Wave/Afrimoney/card):

invoice, error = client.invoices.record_payment(
    'inv_123',
    amount='1150.00',
    payment_method='bank_transfer',
    transaction_id='BANK-REF-123456',
    notes='Received via wire transfer',
)

Two ways to pay invoices:

• Online: Customer visits payment_url (Wave, Afrimoney, card)
• Offline: Use record_payment() for cash, bank transfers, checks

Donation Campaigns

campaign, error = client.donations.create(
    title='Help Build a School',
    description='Raising funds to build a new school',
    target_amount='50000.00',  # Optional goal
    currency='GMD',
    slug='school-building-fund',  # Custom URL slug
)

if campaign:
    print(f"Donation URL: {campaign['donation_url']}")
    # Example: https://donate.jokoor.com/school-building-fund
    print(f"Slug: {campaign['slug']}")
    print(f"Progress: {campaign['progress_percentage']}%")

    start_date='2024-01-01T00:00:00Z',
    end_date='2024-12-31T23:59:59Z',
)

if result:
    for txn in result['items']:
        print(f"{txn['id']}: {txn['amount']} {txn['currency']}")

Refunds

# Full refund
refund, error = client.refunds.create(
    'txn_123',
    reason='Customer request',
)

# Partial refund
refund, error = client.refunds.create(
    'txn_123',
    amount='50.00',
    reason='Partial refund for damaged item',
)

Subscriptions

subscription, error = client.subscriptions.create(
    customer_id='cus_123',
    amount='29.99',
    currency='GMD',
    interval='monthly',
)

Payouts

Get Balance

balance, error = client.payouts.get_balance()
if balance:
    print(f"Available: {balance['available_balance']} {balance['currency']}")
    print(f"Pending: {balance['pending_balance']} {balance['currency']}")

List Bank Accounts

accounts, error = client.bank_accounts.list()

Note: Creating/updating bank accounts requires OTP and must be done via the web dashboard.

payout, error = client.recipients.send_payout(
    recipient_id='recip_123',
    amount='500.00',
    reference='Salary payment',
    # Note: OTP required - must be obtained via dashboard
)

Webhooks

Create Webhook Endpoint

webhook, error = client.webhooks.create(
    url='https://myapp.com/webhooks/jokoor',
    enabled_events=[
        'payment.succeeded',
        'payment.failed',
        'sms.delivered',
        'sms.failed',
    ],
)

if webhook:
    # Secret is only shown once - store it securely
    print(f"Webhook Secret: {webhook['secret']}")

List Webhook Events

result, error = client.webhook_events.list(
    offset=0,
    limit=20,
    type='payment.succeeded',
    start_date='2024-01-01T00:00:00Z',
)

Type Hints

The SDK includes comprehensive type hints for better IDE support:

from typing import Tuple, Optional
from jokoor import Jokoor
from jokoor.types import PaymentLink, Checkout, Invoice

def create_payment(client: Jokoor) -> Tuple[Optional[PaymentLink], Optional[str]]:
    return client.payment_links.create(
        name='Test Payment',
        amount='100.00',
        currency='GMD',
    )

# IDE will provide autocomplete and type checking
link, error = create_payment(client)
if link:
    print(link['payment_url'])  # IDE knows this field exists
    print(link['livemode'])     # Full autocomplete support
