Miva Merchant JSON API SDK

Miva Merchant API SDK for Python (3.x)

This python library wraps the Miva Merchant JSON API introduced in Miva Merchant 9.12. It allows you to quickly integrate your python applications with a Miva Merchant store to fetch, create, and update store data.

For api documentation visit https://docs.miva.com/json-api.

Requirements

• Miva Merchant 10.00+
• Python 3.x

For Miva Merchant 9.x, use the 1.x release

Getting Started

For usage see the examples provided in the examples/ directory.

SSH Private Key Authentication

Compatible Private Key Formats

• OpenSSH PEM
• PKCS#1 PEM
• PKCS#8 PEM

When specifying the key to use within the SSHClient or SSHPrivateKeyAuthenticator, specify the full path to your private key file.

Create PKCS#1 from OpenSSH private key format

If your private key is in OpenSSH format (starts with -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----) then you will need to convert it.

Create a copy of your key preserving permissions:

cp -p /path/to/private/key/id_rsa /path/to/private/key/id_rsa.pem

Convert in place to the proper format:

ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f /path/to/private/key/id_rsa.pem

Create PKCS#8 PEM from PKCS#1 PEM private key format

Converting the key with encryption:

 openssl pkcs8 -in /path/to/private_key.pem -topk8 -out /path/to/private_key.pkcs8.pem

Converting the key without encryption:

 openssl pkcs8 -in /path/to/private_key.pem -topk8 -nocrypt -out /path/to/private_key.pkcs8.pem

SSH Agent Authentication

Compatible Public Key Formats

Your public key must be in the OpenSSH Public Key format. The default public key format is usually the correct type if you generated your key using ssh-keygen.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253#section-6.6 for format.

A quick way to get the correct format if you have the key associated with your local SSH agent is to run the command ssh-add -L and copying the corresponding key.

High Precision Pricing & Weight

Miva Merchant 10.11 added support for high precision pricing and weight. To support these changes, the decimal module is used on all high precision fields. Transition should be seamless, and you can perform arithmetic against these values as you would native floats.
