netsuitesdk 1.3.0

Python SDK for accessing the NetSuite SOAP webservice

netsuite-sdk-py

Warning: This SDK is under active development and some of the contracts will likely evolve in the next couple of weeks. It is not yet production-ready. If you want to collaborate on this, please mail [e-mail]

Netsuite-sdk-py is a Python SDK. It uses the SOAP client library zeep(https://python-zeep.readthedocs.io/en/master/) for accessing NetSuite resources via the NetSuite SOAP web service SuiteTalk(http://www.netsuite.com/portal/platform/developer/suitetalk.shtml), but hides the complexity from the SDK user.

Installation

$ pip install netsuitesdk 

Get Started

There are two ways to access a NetSuite account via web services:

• Use token-based auth (TBA) (within each request). This is the mechanism supported by this SDK.
• Use email, password, role and account id to login and start a session. This is not supported by this SDK

Token-based Auth

First, setup TBA credentials using environment variables.

# TBA credentials
export NS_ACCOUNT=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_KEY=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_KEY=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxx

The following snippet shows how to use TBA to initialize the SDK.

import os
import itertools
import json
from netsuitesdk import NetSuiteConnection

def connect_tba():
    NS_ACCOUNT = os.getenv('NS_ACCOUNT')
    NS_CONSUMER_KEY = os.getenv('NS_CONSUMER_KEY')
    NS_CONSUMER_SECRET = os.getenv('NS_CONSUMER_SECRET')
    NS_TOKEN_KEY = os.getenv('NS_TOKEN_KEY')
    NS_TOKEN_SECRET = os.getenv('NS_TOKEN_SECRET')
    nc = NetSuiteConnection(account=NS_ACCOUNT, consumer_key=NS_CONSUMER_KEY, consumer_secret=NS_CONSUMER_SECRET,                   token_key=NS_TOKEN_KEY, token_secret=NS_TOKEN_SECRET)
    return nc

nc = connect_tba()

# Use get_all methods to get all objects of certain types
currencies = nc.currencies.get_all()
locations = nc.locations.get_all()
departments = nc.departments.get_all()
classifications = nc.classifications.get_all()
subsidiaries = nc.subsidiaries.get_all()
all_accounts = list(itertools.islice(nc.accounts.get_all_generator(), 100))
accounts = [a for a in all_accounts if a['acctType'] == '_expense']
vendor_bills = list(itertools.islice(nc.vendor_bills.get_all_generator(), 10))
vendors = list(itertools.islice(nc.vendors.get_all_generator(), 10))

data = {
  'accounts': accounts,
  'classifications': classifications,
  'departments': departments,
  'locations': locations,
  'currencies': currencies,
  'vendors': vendors,
  'vendor_bills': vendor_bills,
  'subsidiaries': subsidiaries
}
with open('/tmp/netsuite.json', 'w') as oj:
	oj.write(json.dumps(data, default=str, indent=2))

# There are also generator methods to iterate over potentially large lists
for c in nc.currencies.get_all_generator():
    print(c)

# Get a specific object
nc.currencies.get(internalId='1')

# Post operation is only supported on vendor_bills currently (see test_vendor_bills.py on how to construct vendor bill)
vb = {...}
nc.vendor_bills.post(vb)

Remarks and possible errors regarding authentication

Note: NetSuite requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for all Administrator and other highly privileged roles in all NetSuite accounts. Instead, you can login with a non-highly privileged role or use token based authentication (TBA) with your requests. For TBA, see below.

If login fails, a NetSuiteLoginError is thrown.

For more information about NetSuite authentication, see: (https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/netsuitecs_gs/NSATH/NSATH.pdf)

Integration Tests

To run integration tests, you will set both login and TBA credentials for an actual Netsuite account with the right permissions.

# TBA credentials
export NS_ACCOUNT=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_KEY=xxxx
export NS_CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_KEY=xxxx
export NS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxx

python -m pytest test/integration

To get code coverage report, run this command:

python -m pytest --cov=netsuitesdk

To get an html report, run this command:

python -m pytest --cov=netsuitesdk --cov-report html:cov_html

We want to maintain code coverage of more than 95% for this project at all times.

Documentation

Documentation can be found in the docs/_build/html folder (open index.html) and soon in readthedocs. For contributors: to build the documentation (cd to /docs and) run make buildapi as well as make html

Contributions

This SDK is under active development. Once the contracts are well settled, we will be accepting contributions. Please mail [e-mail] if you wish to collaborate on this.
