Sunbay Nexus Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the Sunbay Nexus payment platform.

This SDK provides a simple and professional way to integrate with Sunbay Nexus payment platform from Python applications, with full support for all payment operations.

Features

  • Simple and intuitive API
  • Thread-safe client with connection pooling
  • Clear separation between network errors and business errors
  • Automatic authentication via API key
  • Configurable timeouts and retries for GET requests
  • Python 3.8+ support

Installation

pip install sunbay-nexus-sdk

Publish to PyPI

# Production PyPI
python deploy.py

# TestPyPI
python deploy.py --testpypi

Supported Python versions

  • Officially supported: Python 3.8 and above
  • Python 2 is not supported.

Quick Start

1. Initialize client

from sunbay_nexus_sdk import NexusClient

# Option 1: pass api_key explicitly
client = NexusClient(api_key="sk_test_xxx")

# Option 2: read api_key from environment variable SUNBAY_API_KEY
# client = NexusClient()

The NexusClient is thread-safe and can be reused across multiple threads. Create it once and reuse it in your application.

2. Sale transaction

Important: All amount fields are in the smallest currency unit (e.g., cents for USD, fen for CNY). For example, 100.00 USD should be passed as 10000 (cents).

from sunbay_nexus_sdk import NexusClient, SunbayBusinessError, SunbayNetworkError
from sunbay_nexus_sdk.models.common import SaleAmount
from sunbay_nexus_sdk.models.request import SaleRequest

client = NexusClient(api_key="sk_test_xxx")

# 100.00 USD = 10000 cents
amount = SaleAmount(order_amount=10000, price_currency="USD")

request = SaleRequest(
    app_id="app_123456",
    merchant_id="mch_789012",
    reference_order_id="ORDER20231119001",
    transaction_request_id="PAY_REQ_1234567890",
    amount=amount,
    description="Product purchase",
    terminal_sn="T1234567890",
    signature_entry_location="ON_SCREEN",
)

try:
    # If we reach here, code == "0" (success), no need to check is_success()
    response = client.sale(request)
    print("Transaction ID:", response.transaction_id)
except SunbayNetworkError as e:
    print("Network Error:", e)
except SunbayBusinessError as e:
    print("API Error:", e.code, "-", e)

SaleAmount.tip_config.suggestions is an object containing parallel names and values arrays (up to 3 items):

from sunbay_nexus_sdk.models.common import SaleAmount, TipConfig, TipSuggestions

amount = SaleAmount(
    order_amount=10000,
    price_currency="USD",
    tip_config=TipConfig(
        suggestions=TipSuggestions(
            names=["推荐低小费", "推荐中等小费", "推荐高小费"],
            fee_mode="RATE",
            values=[15, 18, 20],
        )
    ),
)

3. Query transaction

from sunbay_nexus_sdk import NexusClient
from sunbay_nexus_sdk.models.request import QueryRequest

client = NexusClient(api_key="sk_test_xxx")

request = QueryRequest(
    app_id="app_123456",
    merchant_id="mch_789012",
    transaction_id="TXN20231119001",
)

try:
    # If we reach here, code == "0" (success), no need to check is_success()
    response = client.query(request)
    print("Status:", response.transaction_status)
except SunbayBusinessError as e:
    print("API Error:", e.code, "-", e)
except SunbayNetworkError as e:
    print("Network Error:", e)

API Overview

The SDK provides a NexusClient with comprehensive payment APIs:

  • Transaction APIs:
    • sale(request: SaleRequest) -> SaleResponse
    • auth(request: AuthRequest) -> AuthResponse
    • forced_auth(request: ForcedAuthRequest) -> ForcedAuthResponse
    • incremental_auth(request: IncrementalAuthRequest) -> IncrementalAuthResponse
    • post_auth(request: PostAuthRequest) -> PostAuthResponse
    • refund(request: RefundRequest) -> RefundResponse
    • void_transaction(request: VoidRequest) -> VoidResponse
    • abort(request: AbortRequest) -> AbortResponse
    • tip_adjust(request: TipAdjustRequest) -> TipAdjustResponse
  • Query APIs:
    • query(request: QueryRequest) -> QueryResponse
  • Settlement APIs:
    • batch_query(request: BatchQueryRequest) -> BatchQueryResponse
    • batch_close(request: BatchCloseRequest) -> BatchCloseResponse
    • batch_close_list(request: BatchCloseListRequest) -> BatchCloseListResponse — query closed batch records
  • Merchant APIs:
    • merchant_query(request: MerchantQueryRequest) -> MerchantQueryResponse — query merchant info
    • merchant_terminals_query(request: MerchantTerminalsQueryRequest) -> MerchantTerminalsQueryResponse — list merchant terminals (token-based pagination)
  • Online checkout APIs (Hosted Payment Page, Direct payment):
    • create_checkout_session(request: CreateCheckoutSessionRequest) -> CreateCheckoutSessionResponsePOST /v1/checkout/create-session
    • checkout_sale(request: CheckoutSaleRequest) -> CheckoutSaleResponsePOST /v1/checkout/sale

Exceptions

The SDK provides a three-level exception hierarchy:

  • SunbayError — base class for all SDK exceptions. Catch this to handle any SDK error uniformly.
  • SunbayNetworkError(SunbayError)
    • Thrown for network errors, timeouts, or HTTP non-2xx responses.
    • Has a retryable flag to indicate whether the request may be retried safely.
  • SunbayBusinessError(SunbayError)
    • Thrown when the API returns a business error (code != "0").
    • Contains code and trace_id fields when available.

Local parameter validation errors (e.g., passing None for a required argument) raise standard Python ValueError or TypeError.

Always catch SunbayNetworkError before SunbayBusinessError if you need to distinguish between them.

Configuration

You can configure the client using constructor arguments:

from sunbay_nexus_sdk import NexusClient

client = NexusClient(
    api_key="sk_test_xxx",
    base_url="https://open.sunbay.us",   # default
    connect_timeout=10.0,                # seconds, default 10.0
    read_timeout=30.0,                   # seconds, default 30.0
    max_retries=3,                       # default 3 for GET requests
    max_connections=200,                 # default 200
    # Optional: custom logger instance
    # logger=my_logger,
)

In addition, the SDK uses the standard Python logging library:

  • By default it logs HTTP requests/responses and errors to the logger named sunbay_nexus_sdk.http.
  • The SDK does not configure handlers or logging levels itself — you are free to integrate with any logging stack (standard logging, loguru, structlog, etc.) by configuring or adapting a logging.Logger.
  • For advanced use cases, you can pass a custom logger via the NexusClient(logger=...) constructor parameter; this logger will be used by the underlying HTTP client for all log output.

Using enums

For some fields (such as transaction status and card network type), the SDK provides enums to make the code more self-documenting:

from sunbay_nexus_sdk import TransactionStatus

# In try-catch block, if we reach here, code == "0" (success)
# So we only need to check transaction_status
if response.transaction_status == TransactionStatus.SUCCESS:
    print("Transaction succeeded")

Integration in web frameworks

In web frameworks (such as FastAPI or Django), it is recommended to create a single NexusClient instance at startup and reuse it:

from sunbay_nexus_sdk import NexusClient

client = NexusClient(api_key="sk_live_xxx")

def process_payment(request_data):
    # build SaleRequest here...
    response = client.sale(request_data)
    ...
