# **Gameball Python SDK**
---
The Gameball Python SDK provides convinient access to the Gameball API frpm applicatopns written in the Python langauage. 
## Documentation
---
Please refer to the  [Gameball API docs](https://docs.gameball.co).
## Installation
---
You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the SDK. If you just
want to use the SDK, just run:
```py
pip install gameball
```
### Requirements
-   Python 3.4+ (PyPy supported)
-   Requests library 2.20 and later
## Usage
---
The SDK needs to be configured with your account's API & Transaction keys available in your [Gameball Dashboard](https://help.gameball.co/en/articles/3467114-get-your-account-integration-details-api-key-and-transaction-key)

```py
import gameball
gameball.api_key = "gb_test_..."
gameball.transaction_key = "gb_test_..."
```

### Commands:
```py
# creates a new player with the given player attributes.
gameball.initialize_player(player)

# performs action based on event triggered by users.
gameball.send_event(event)

# refers a new user through player with the given player code.
gameball.create_referral(referral)

# obtains player's balance value.
gameball.get_player_balance(player_unique_id)

# holds a specific amount of points from the playerâ€™s points balance. 
gameball.hold_points(player_unique_id, amount, transaction_time)

# enables the player to use Gameball points as a payment method since it can be substituted for monetary values.
gameball.redeem_points(player_unique_id, amount, transaction_time, hold_reference, transaction_on_client_system_id) 

# cancels a purchase reward or refund a points redemption transactions in Gameball.
gameball.reverse_transaction(player_unique_id, transaction_time, transaction_on_client_system_id, reversed_transaction_on_client_system_id)

# cancels previously held points identified by the given hold reference.
gameball.reverse_hold(player_unique_id, hold_reference, transaction_time) 

# rewards a player with points equivalent to the given amount.
gameball.reward_points(player_unique_id, amount, transaction_time, transaction_on_client_system_id, player_attributes = {})

# obtains player's information.
gameball.get_player_info(player_unique_id, lannguage= None)

# performs action based on event triggered by users or transactions.
gameball.send_action(action)

# create discount coupon to a specific user
gameball.create_discount_coupon(coupon)

# redeems discount coupon by a specific user
gameball.redeem_discount_coupon(player_unique_id, code, transaction_time)

# validates discount coupon by a specific user
gameball.validate_discount_coupon(player_unique_id, code, transaction_time)
```
