python-bol-retailer-api

Wrapper for the bol.com Retailer API (v5)

Install

This package is published on PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/python-bol-retailer-api/

Install with pip

pip install python-bol-retailer-api

Usage

Usage at this point is minimal. I will extend this package as I go and as I need.

Current usage is limited to Orders.

Create connection

You will need a Client ID and Client Secret generated by Bol. Generate these here: https://partner.bol.com/sdd/settings.html#!/services/api

Create a new API connection

from bol.api import BolAPI
api = BolAPI(clientId, clientSecret)

Access token is automatically stored for later use. In the event that an access token is expired, a new access token will be requested and the initial request will be resend. This should ensure that the connection is never cut off.

The API keeps in account the rate limits that bol.com apply. In the event that the rate limit is almost exhausted within a timeframe, the API will stall until a new timeframe with new rate limits is available.

Orders

Get all orders

By default all orders will be returned

orderlist = api.orders.list()

You can specify the method and status yourself. Standard method is FBR and standard status is ALL.

orderlist = api.orders.list(method='FBB', status='OPEN')

This will return an OrderList object. You can loop over the orders like so:

for order in orderlist.orders:
    print(order.orderId)

Each order contains a list of OrderItem objects:

 for item in order.orderItems:
      print(item.orderItemId)

Get specific order

To get more info about an order, you can get the specific details of an order by its ID.

order = api.orders.get(id)

This will return an Order object.

Ship an order

There are two ways to ship an order: you either ship an item of the order, or you ship the whole order at once. When shipping an item, an OrderItem object is expected. When shipping an order, an Order object is expected. Optionally you can add the shipmentReference, shippingLabelId, transporterCode and trackAndTrace. Consult the Bol documentation to know what is expected.

There is a list of transportercodes that you can use.

api.orders.shipItem(item, transporterCode=api.transporters.GLS, trackAndTrace='XXXXXX')
api.orders.ship(order, transporterCode=api.transporters.UPS, trackAndTrace='XXXXXX')

Cancel an order

There are two ways to cancel an order: you either cancel an item of the order, or you cancel the whole order at once. when cancelling an item, an OrderItem object is expected. When cancelling an order, an Order object is expected. A cancellation expects a reason for the cancellation. There is a list of reasons that you can use.

api.orders.cancelItem(item, reason=api.reasons.OUT_OF_STOCK)
api.orders.cancel(order, reason=api.reasons.NOT_AVAIL_IN_TIME)
