SDK to facilitate Python integrations with Stark Bank

Stark Bank Python SDK

Welcome to the Stark Bank Python SDK! This tool is made for Python developers who want to easily integrate with our API. This SDK version is compatible with the Stark Bank API v2.

If you have no idea what Stark Bank is, check out our website and discover a world where receiving or making payments is as easy as sending a text message to your client!

Supported Python Versions

This library supports the following Python versions:

• Python 2.7
• Python 3.4+

Stark Bank API documentation

Feel free to take a look at our API docs.

Versioning

This project adheres to the following versioning pattern:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment:

• MAJOR version when the API version is incremented. This may include backwards incompatible changes;
• MINOR version when breaking changes are introduced OR new functionalities are added in a backwards compatible manner;
• PATCH version when backwards compatible bug fixes are implemented.

Setup

1. Install our SDK

1.1 To install the package with pip, run:

pip install starkbank

1.2 To install from source, clone the repo and run:

python setup.py install

2. Create your Private and Public Keys

We use ECDSA. That means you need to generate a secp256k1 private key to sign your requests to our API, and register your public key with us so we can validate those requests.

You can use one of following methods:

2.1. Check out the options in our tutorial.

2.2. Use our SDK:

import starkbank

privateKey, publicKey = starkbank.key.create()

# or, to also save .pem files in a specific path
privateKey, publicKey = starkbank.key.create("file/keys/")

NOTE: When you are creating a new Project, it is recommended that you create the keys inside the infrastructure that will use it, in order to avoid risky internet transmissions of your private-key. Then you can export the public-key alone to the computer where it will be used in the new Project creation.

3. Create a Project

You need a project for direct API integrations. To create one in Sandbox:

3.1. Log into Starkbank Sandbox

3.2. Go to Menu > Usuários (Users) > Projetos (Projects)

3.3. Create a Project: Give it a name and upload the public key you created in section 2.

3.4. After creating the Project, get its Project ID

3.5. Use the Project ID and private key to create the object below:

import starkbank

# Get your private key from an environment variable or an encrypted database.
# This is only an example of a private key content. You should use your own key.
private_key_content = """
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
BgUrgQQACg==
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHQCAQEEIMCwW74H6egQkTiz87WDvLNm7fK/cA+ctA2vg/bbHx3woAcGBSuBBAAK
oUQDQgAE0iaeEHEgr3oTbCfh8U2L+r7zoaeOX964xaAnND5jATGpD/tHec6Oe9U1
IF16ZoTVt1FzZ8WkYQ3XomRD4HS13A==
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
"""

project = starkbank.Project(
    environment="sandbox",
    id="5656565656565656",
    private_key=private_key_content
)

NOTE 1: Never hard-code your private key. Get it from an environment variable or an encrypted database.

NOTE 2: We support "sandbox" and "production" as environments.

NOTE 3: The project you created in sandbox does not exist in production and vice versa.

4. Setting up the user

There are two kinds of users that can access our API: Project and Member.

• Member is the one you use when you log into our webpage with your e-mail.
• Project is designed for integrations and is the one meant for our SDK.

There are two ways to inform the user to the SDK:

4.1 Passing the user as argument in all functions:

import starkbank

balance = starkbank.balance.get(user=project)

4.2 Set it as a default user in the SDK:

import starkbank

starkbank.user = project

balance = starkbank.balance.get()

Just select the way of passing the project user that is more convenient to you. On all following examples we will assume a default user has been set.

5. Setting up the error language

The error language can also be set in the same way as the default user:

import starkbank

starkbank.language = "en-US"

Language options are "en-US" for english and "pt-BR" for brazilian portuguese. English is default.

Testing in Sandbox

Your initial balance is zero. For many operations in Stark Bank, you'll need funds in your account, which can be added to your balance by creating a Boleto.

In the Sandbox environment, 90% of the created Boletos will be automatically paid, so there's nothing else you need to do to add funds to your account. Just create a few and wait around a bit.

In Production, you (or one of your clients) will need to actually pay this Boleto for the value to be credited to your account.

Usage

Here are a few examples on how to use the SDK. If you have any doubts, use the built-in help() function to get more info on the desired functionality (for example: help(starkbank.boleto.create))

Get balance

To know how much money you have in your workspace, run:

import starkbank

balance = starkbank.balance.get()

print(balance)

Create boletos

You can create boletos to charge customers or to receive money from accounts you have in other banks.

# coding: utf-8
import starkbank
from datetime import datetime


boletos = starkbank.boleto.create([
    starkbank.Boleto(
        amount=23571,  # R$ 235,71 
        name="Buzz Aldrin",
        tax_id="012.345.678-90", 
        street_line_1="Av. Paulista, 200", 
        street_line_2="10 andar",
        district="Bela Vista", 
        city="São Paulo",
        state_code="SP",
        zip_code="01310-000",
        due=datetime(2020, 3, 20),
        fine=5,  # 5%
        interest=2.5,  # 2.5% per month
    ),
])

for boleto in boletos:
    print(boleto)

Note: Instead of using Boleto objects, you can also pass each boleto element in dictionary format

Get boleto

After its creation, information on a boleto may be retrieved by its id. Its status indicates whether it's been paid.

import starkbank

boleto = starkbank.boleto.get("5155165527080960")

print(boleto)

Get boleto PDF

After its creation, a boleto PDF may be retrieved by its id.

import starkbank

pdf = starkbank.boleto.pdf("5155165527080960", layout="default")

with open("boleto.pdf", "wb") as file:
    file.write(pdf)

Be careful not to accidentally enforce any encoding on the raw pdf content, as it may yield abnormal results in the final file, such as missing images and strange characters.

Delete boleto

You can also cancel a boleto by its id. Note that this is not possible if it has been processed already.

import starkbank

boleto = starkbank.boleto.delete("5155165527080960")

print(boleto)

Query boletos

You can get a list of created boletos given some filters.

import starkbank
from datetime import datetime

boletos = starkbank.boleto.query(
    after=datetime(2020, 1, 1),
    before=datetime(2020, 3, 1)
)

for boleto in boletos:
    print(boleto)

Query boleto logs

Logs are pretty important to understand the life cycle of a boleto.

import starkbank

logs = starkbank.boleto.log.query(limit=150)

for log in logs:
    print(log)

Get a boleto log

You can get a single log by its id.

import starkbank

log = starkbank.boleto.log.get("5155165527080960")

print(log)

Create transfers

You can also create transfers in the SDK (TED/DOC).

import starkbank
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

transfers = starkbank.transfer.create([
    starkbank.Transfer(
        amount=100,
        bank_code="033",
        branch_code="0001",
        account_number="10000-0",
        tax_id="012.345.678-90",
        name="Tony Stark",
        tags=["iron", "suit"]
    ),
    starkbank.Transfer(
        amount=200,
        bank_code="341",
        branch_code="1234",
        account_number="123456-7",
        tax_id="012.345.678-90",
        name="Jon Snow",
        scheduled=datetime.today() + timedelta(days=3)
    )
])

for transfer in transfers:
    print(transfer)

Note: Instead of using Transfer objects, you can also pass each transfer element in dictionary format

Query transfers

You can query multiple transfers according to filters.

import starkbank
from datetime import datetime

transfers = starkbank.transfer.query(
    after=datetime(2020, 1, 1),
    before=datetime(2020, 4, 1)
)

for transfer in transfers:
    print(transfer.name)

Cancel a scheduled transfer

To cancel a single scheduled transfer by its id, run:

import starkbank

transfer = starkbank.transfer.delete("5155165527080960")

print(transfer)

Get transfer

To get a single transfer by its id, run:

import starkbank

transfer = starkbank.transfer.get("5155165527080960")

print(transfer)

Get transfer PDF

A transfer PDF may also be retrieved by its id. This operation is only valid if the transfer status is "processing" or "success".

import starkbank

pdf = starkbank.transfer.pdf("5155165527080960")

with open("transfer.pdf", "wb") as file:
    file.write(pdf)

Be careful not to accidentally enforce any encoding on the raw pdf content, as it may yield abnormal results in the final file, such as missing images and strange characters.

Query transfer logs

You can query transfer logs to better understand transfer life cycles.

import starkbank

logs = starkbank.transfer.log.query(limit=50)

for log in logs:
    print(log.id)

Get a transfer log

You can also get a specific log by its id.

import starkbank

log = starkbank.transfer.log.get("5155165527080960")

print(log)

Pay a boleto

Paying a boleto is also simple.

import starkbank

payments = starkbank.boletopayment.create([
    starkbank.BoletoPayment(
        line="34191.09008 61207.727308 71444.640008 5 81310001234321",

        bar_code="34197819200000000011090063609567307144464000",
        tax_id="012.345.678-90",
        scheduled="2020-03-14",
        description="take my money one more time",
        tags=["again"],
    ),
])

for payment in payments:
    print(payment)

Note: Instead of using BoletoPayment objects, you can also pass each payment element in dictionary format

    payment_ids=["5155165527080960", "76551659167801921"],
)

for log in logs:
    print(log)

Get boleto payment log

You can also get a boleto payment log by specifying its id.

import starkbank

log = starkbank.boletopayment.log.get("5155165527080960")

print(log)

Create utility payment

Its also simple to pay utility bills (such as electricity and water bills) in the SDK.

import starkbank

payments = starkbank.utilitypayment.create([
    starkbank.UtilityPayment(
        line="34197819200000000011090063609567307144464000",
        scheduled="2020-03-13",

import starkbank

pdf = starkbank.utilitypayment.pdf("5155165527080960")

with open("electricity-payment.pdf", "wb") as file:
    file.write(pdf)

Be careful not to accidentally enforce any encoding on the raw pdf content, as it may yield abnormal results in the final file, such as missing images and strange characters.

Delete utility payment

Create transactions

To send money between Stark Bank accounts, you can create transactions:

import starkbank

transactions = starkbank.transaction.create([
    starkbank.Transaction(
        amount=100,  # (R$ 1.00)
        receiver_id="1029378109327810",
        description="Transaction to dear provider",
        external_id="12345",  # so we can block anything you send twice by mistake
        tags=["provider"]
    ),
    starkbank.Transaction(
        amount=234,  # (R$ 2.34)
        receiver_id="2093029347820947",
        description="Transaction to the other provider",
        external_id="12346",  # so we can block anything you send twice by mistake
        tags=["provider"]
    ),
])

for transaction in transactions:
    print(transaction)

Note: Instead of using Transaction objects, you can also pass each transaction element in dictionary format

Query transactions

To understand your balance changes (bank statement), you can query transactions. Note that our system creates transactions for you when you receive boleto payments, pay a bill or make transfers, for example.

import starkbank

transactions = starkbank.transaction.query(
    after="2020-01-01",
    before="2020-03-01"
)

for transaction in transactions:
    print(transaction)

Get transaction

You can get a specific transaction by its id:

import starkbank

transaction = starkbank.transaction.get("5155165527080960")

print(transaction)

Create payment requests to be approved by authorized people in a cost center

You can also request payments that must pass through a specific cost center approval flow to be executed. In certain structures, this allows double checks for cash-outs and also gives time to load your account with the required amount before the payments take place. The approvals can be granted at our website and must be performed according to the rules specified in the cost center.

Note: The value of the center_id parameter can be consulted by logging into our website and going to the desired cost center page.

# coding: utf-8
import starkbank
from datetime import date, timedelta


requests = starkbank.paymentrequest.create([
    starkbank.PaymentRequest(
        center_id="5967314465849344",
        payment=starkbank.Transfer(
            amount=200,
            bank_code="341",
            branch_code="1234",
            account_number="123456-7",
            tax_id="012.345.678-90",
            name="Bucket Head",
            tags=[]
        ),
        due=date.today() + timedelta(days=1)
    ),
])

for request in requests:
    print(request)

Note: Instead of using PaymentRequest objects, you can also pass each request element in dictionary format

Query payment requests

To search for payment requests, run:

import starkbank

requests = starkbank.paymentrequest.query(center_id=center_id, limit=10)

for request in requests:
    print(request)

Create webhook subscription

To create a webhook subscription and be notified whenever an event occurs, run:

import starkbank

webhook = starkbank.webhook.create(
    url="https://webhook.site/dd784f26-1d6a-4ca6-81cb-fda0267761ec",
    subscriptions=["transfer", "boleto", "boleto-payment", "utility-payment"],
)

print(webhook)

Query webhooks

To search for registered webhooks, run:

import starkbank

webhooks = starkbank.webhook.query()

for webhook in webhooks:
    print(webhook)

Get webhook

You can get a specific webhook by its id.

import starkbank

webhook = starkbank.webhook.get("10827361982368179")

print(webhook)

Delete webhook

You can also delete a specific webhook by its id.

import starkbank

webhook = starkbank.webhook.delete("10827361982368179")

print(webhook)

Process webhook events

Its easy to process events that arrived in your webhook. Remember to pass the signature header so the SDK can make sure its really StarkBank that sent you the event.

import starkbank

response = listen()  # this is the method you made to get the events posted to your webhook

event = starkbank.event.parse(
    content=response.data.decode("utf-8"),
    signature=response.headers["Digital-Signature"],
)

if event.subscription == "transfer":
    print(event.log.transfer)
    
elif event.subscription == "boleto":
    print(event.log.boleto)
    
elif event.subscription == "boleto-payment":
    print(event.log.payment)

Query webhook events

To search for webhooks events, run:

import starkbank

events = starkbank.event.query(after="2020-03-20", is_delivered=False)

for event in events:
    print(event)

Get webhook event

You can get a specific webhook event by its id.

import starkbank

event = starkbank.event.get("10827361982368179")

print(event)

Delete webhook event

You can also delete a specific webhook event by its id.

import starkbank

event = starkbank.event.delete("10827361982368179")

print(event)

Set webhook events as delivered

This can be used in case you've lost events. With this function, you can manually set events retrieved from the API as "delivered" to help future event queries with is_delivered=False.

import starkbank

event = starkbank.event.update(id="129837198237192", is_delivered=True)

print(event)

Handling errors

The SDK may raise one of four types of errors: InputErrors, InternalServerError, UnknownError, InvalidSignatureError

InputErrors will be raised whenever the API detects an error in your request (status code 400). If you catch such an error, you can get its elements to verify each of the individual errors that were detected in your request by the API. For example:

import starkbank

try:
    transactions = starkbank.transaction.create([
        starkbank.Transaction(
            amount=99999999999999,  # (R$ 999,999,999,999.99)
            receiver_id="1029378109327810",
            description=".",
            external_id="12345",  # so we can block anything you send twice by mistake
            tags=["provider"]
        ),
    ])
except starkbank.error.InputErrors as exception:
    for error in exception.errors:
        print(error.code)
        print(error.message)

InternalServerError will be raised if the API runs into an internal error. If you ever stumble upon this one, rest assured that the development team is already rushing in to fix the mistake and get you back up to speed.

UnknownError will be raised if a request encounters an error that is neither InputErrors nor an InternalServerError, such as connectivity problems.

InvalidSignatureError will be raised specifically by starkbank.event.parse() when the provided content and signature do not check out with the Stark Bank public key.
