Install from PyPI:

$ pip install gocardless_pro

Usage

Create a Client instance, providing your access token and the environment you want to use:

import gocardless_pro
token = os.environ['ACCESS_TOKEN']
client = gocardless_pro.Client(access_token=token, environment='live')

Access API endpoints using the corresponding methods on the client object:

# Create a new customer. We automatically add idempotency keys to requests to create
# resources, stopping duplicates accidentally getting created if something goes wrong
# with the API (e.g. networking problems) - see https://developer.gocardless.com/api
# -reference/#making-requests-idempotency-keys for details
customer = client.customers.create(params={'email': '[email protected]'})

# Fetch a payment by its ID
payment = client.payments.get("PA123")

# Loop through a page of payments, printing each payment's amount
for payment in client.payments.list().records:
    decimal_amount = decimal.Decimal(payment.amount) / 100
    print('Payment for £{0}'.format(decimal_amount))

# Create a mandate PDF in a specific language
client.mandate_pdfs.create(
    params={'links': {'mandate': 'MD00001234XYZ'}},
    headers={'Accept-Language': 'fr'}
)

Rate limit response headers can be read:

# Note these properties will be None until you make an API request with the client
client.rate_limit.limit
client.rate_limit.remaining
client.rate_limit.reset
