ZengaPay API Python ClientPower your apps with our ZengaPay APIThis is the ZENGAPAY Python Client LibraryUsageInstallationAdd the latest version of the library to your project by using pip:$ pip install zengapayThis library supports Python 3.6+Sandbox and Production EnvironmentCreating a sandbox environment user environmentBefore using the library in your applications, please head over to theAPI Documentationto see how to set up your sandbox environment.The following is the API Endpoint for our sandbox environment:https://api.sandbox.zengapay.com/v1Here is the API Endpoint for our production environment:https://api.zengapay.com/v1ConfigurationBefore we can fully utilize the library, we need to specify the global configurations. The global configuration must contain the following.ZENGAPAY_APP_SETTINGS: Optional environment, either "sandbox" or "production". Default is "sandbox".ZENGAPAY_BASE_URL: An optional base url to ZengaPay API. By default the sandbox base url will be used.ZENGAPAY_USER_API_TOKEN: Your secret user API token. This is mandatory. See heAPI Documentationto obtain your API token.Once you have specified the global config variables, the full configuration object to use in your project should look like this.config={ZENGAPAY_ENVIRONMENT:os.environ.get("ZENGAPAY_APP_SETTINGS","sandbox"),ZENGAPAY_BASE_URL:os.environ.get("ZENGAPAY_BASE_URL","https://api.sandbox.zengapay.com/v1"),ZENGAPAY_USER_API_TOKEN:os.environ.get("ZENGAPAY_USER_API_TOKEN")}This will be need for each transaction you will be performing.Collections.The collections client can be created with configuration parameters as indicated above.importosfromzengapayimportCollectionsconfig={ZENGAPAY_ENVIRONMENT:os.environ.get("ZENGAPAY_APP_SETTINGS","sandbox"),ZENGAPAY_BASE_URL:os.environ.get("ZENGAPAY_BASE_URL","https://api.sandbox.zengapay.com/v1"),ZENGAPAY_USER_API_TOKEN:os.environ.get("ZENGAPAY_USER_API_TOKEN")}client=Collections(config)Methodscollect: This operation is used to request a payment from another consumer(Payer). The payer will be asked to authorize the payment. The transaction is executed once the payer has authorized the payment. The transaction will be in status PENDING until it is authorized or declined by the payer or it is timed out by the system. Status of the transaction can be validated by usingget_collection(transaction_ref)orget_transaction_status(transaction_ref)using thetransaction reference.You can perform a collection using the payload as below.
