Ping Payments API

The Ping Payments API is implemented as the PaymentsApi class contains a number of endpoints.

• Merchant
• Payment Orders
• Payment
• Payout
• Ping

Ping Payment Links API

The Ping Payments API is implemented as the PaymentLinksApi contains a number of endpoints.

Ping Payment Links API Endpoints

• Payment Link
• Invoice
• Receipt

Usage

Get a tenant ID

Ping Payments provides you with a tenant ID and are used for resource permissions.

Important: Make sure you store and access the tenant ID securely.

Instructions

1. Import the PaymentsApi class from the Ping module:

from ping.payments_api import PaymentsApi

2. Instantiate a PaymentsApi object and initialize it with the tenant ID and the environment that you want to use.

Initialize the PaymentsApi in production mode:

payments_api = PaymentsApi(
		tenant_id = '55555555-5555-5555-5555-555555555555'
)

Initialize the PaymentsApi in sandbox mode, for testing:

payments_api = PaymentsApi(
		tenant_id = '55555555-5555-5555-5555-555555555555',
		environment = 'sandbox'
)

Make calls

Work with the API by by choosing a Endpoint and calling it´s methods. For example, you can choose the endpoint merchants and call the method list() to a list of all merchants connected to a tenant:

result = payments_api.merchant.list()

Handle the response

Calls to the Ping Payments API endpoint methods returns an ApiResponse object. Properties of the ApiResponse object contains information regarding request (headers and request) and the response (status_code, reason_phrase, text, errors, body, and cursor).

Using the response:

Check whether the response succeeded or failed. Two helper methods is_success()and is_error() in the ApiResponse object determine the success or failure of a call:

if result.is_success():
	# Display the successful response as text
	print(result.text)
elif result.is_error():
	# Display the error response
	print(f"Errors: {result.errors}")
