Connects Xero to a database connector to transfer information to and fro.

Project description

Xero Database Connector

Connects Xero to a database to transfer information to and fro.

Installation

This project requires Python 3+.

  1. Download this project and use it (copy it in your project, etc).

  2. Install it from pip.

     $ pip install xero-db-connector
    

Usage

To use this connector you'll need Xero credentials - specifically the keyfile and consumer key.

Here's example usage.

from xero_db_connector.extract import XeroExtractConnector
from xero_db_connector.load import XeroLoadConnector
import sqlite3
import logging
import os
from xero import Xero
from xero.auth import PrivateCredentials

def xero_connect():
    XERO_PRIVATE_KEYFILE = os.environ.get('XERO_PRIVATE_KEYFILE', None)
    XERO_CONSUMER_KEY = os.environ.get('XERO_CONSUMER_KEY', None)
    if XERO_PRIVATE_KEYFILE is None:
        raise Exception('XERO_PRIVATE_KEYFILE is not set')
    if XERO_CONSUMER_KEY is None:
        raise Exception('XERO_CONSUMER_KEY is not set')
    with open(XERO_PRIVATE_KEYFILE) as keyfile:
        rsa_key = keyfile.read()
    credentials = PrivateCredentials(XERO_CONSUMER_KEY, rsa_key)
    # used to connect to xero
    return Xero(credentials)

dbconn = sqlite3.connect('/tmp/xero.db', detect_types=sqlite3.PARSE_DECLTYPES|sqlite3.PARSE_COLNAMES)
xero = xero_connect()
x = XeroExtractConnector(xero=xero, dbconn=dbconn)
x.create_tables()
y = XeroLoadConnector(xero=xero, dbconn=dbconn)
y.create_tables()


x.extract_contacts()
x.extract_tracking_categories()
x.extract_accounts()

# do some transformations and populated invoice tables xero_load_invoices and xero_load_invoice_lineitems
for invoice_id in y.load_invoices_generator():
    xero_invoice_id = y.get_xero_invoice_id(invoice_id=invoice_id)
    print(f'posted invoice {invoice_id} for which xero returned {xero_invoice_id}')

Integration Tests

To run unit tests, you will need a mechanism to connect to a real Xero account. Specifically, you'll need a keyfile and a consumer key, both of which can be obtained from the xero developer portal. Set the following environment variables before running the integration tests:

export XERO_PRIVATE_KEYFILE=<path_to_keyfile>
export XERO_CONSUMER_KEY=<string>

python -m pytest test/integration
