Packages (optional): requests or pycurl

Installation

For development purpose

Clone this repository and run

make install

For usage purpose

Use pip command:

pip install Adyen

Using the library

General use with API key

import Adyen

adyen = Adyen.Adyen()

adyen.payment.client.xapikey = "YourXapikey"
adyen.payment.client.hmac = "YourHMACkey"
adyen.payment.client.platform = "test" # Environment to use the library in.

Consuming Services

Every API the library supports is represented by a service object. The name of the service matching the corresponding API is listed in the Integrations section of this document.

Using all services

import Adyen

adyen = Adyen.Adyen()
adyen.payment.client.xapikey = "YourXapikey"
adyen.payment.client.platform = "test"  # change to live for production
request = {
    "amount": {
        "currency": "USD",
        "value": 1000  # value in minor units
    },
    "reference": "Your order number",
    "paymentMethod": {
        "type": "visa",
        "encryptedCardNumber": "test_4111111111111111",
        "encryptedExpiryMonth": "test_03",
        "encryptedExpiryYear": "test_2030",
        "encryptedSecurityCode": "test_737"
    },
    "shopperReference": "YOUR_UNIQUE_SHOPPER_ID_IOfW3k9G2PvXFu2j",
    "returnUrl": "https://your-company.com/...",
    "merchantAccount": "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT"
}
result = adyen.checkout.payments_api.payments(request)

Using one of the services

from Adyen import checkout

checkout.client.xapikey = "YourXapikey"
checkout.client.platform = "test"  # change to live for production
request = {
    "amount": {
        "currency": "USD",
        "value": 1000  # value in minor units
    },
    "reference": "Your order number",
    "paymentMethod": {
        "type": "visa",
        "encryptedCardNumber": "test_4111111111111111",
        "encryptedExpiryMonth": "test_03",
        "encryptedExpiryYear": "test_2030",
        "encryptedSecurityCode": "test_737"
    },
    "shopperReference": "YOUR_UNIQUE_SHOPPER_ID_IOfW3k9G2PvXFu2j",
    "returnUrl": "https://your-company.com/...",
    "merchantAccount": "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT"
}
result = checkout.payments_api.payments(request)

Force HTTP library

import Adyen

adyen = Adyen.Adyen()
adyen.client.http_force = 'requests' # or 'pycurl'

Using query parameters (management API only)

Define a dictionary with query parameters that you want to use.

query_parameters = {
    'pageSize': 10,
    'pageNumber': 3
}

pass the dictionary to the method as an additional argument.

adyen.management.account_company_level_api.get_companies(query_parameters=query_parameters)

Using Header Parameters

Define a dictionary containing the headers you want to include in your request.

    headers = {
        "Var1": "Var2",
        "Var2": "Var1"
    }

Pass the dictionary as an additional argument to the method where you make the API call.

    adyen.checkout.payments_api.payments(header_parameters=headers)

Customizing Base URL

Instantiate the service and replace the baseUrl with your own URL

    service = adyen.checkout.payments_api
    service.baseUrl = "localhost:8080"

Handling exceptions

Adyen service exceptions extend the AdyenError class. After you catch this exception, you can access the class arguments for the specifics around this error or use the debug method which prints all the arguments.

try:
    adyen.checkout.payments_api.payments(request)
except Adyen.exceptions.AdyenError as error:
    print(error.debug())
