About
This module is handy to be used in web applications to autocomplete address information. There is also an endpoint for information validation, enrichment and fraud risk check. See the docs for details.
As it comes, it is specific for the Netherlands. So in Dutch:
... in Dutch ...
Deze module is handig om in web-applicaties te gebruiken om op basis van postcode en huisnummer eenvoudig complete adres informatie op te kunnen vragen.
De API van postcode.nl wordt hiervoor gebruikt. Op https://api.postcode.nl kunt u zich registreren voor het gebruik van deze API en daarmee de beschikking krijgen over een 'secret' en een 'key' die benodigd zijn om deze API te kunnen gebruiken.
De Signaal-API kan worden gebruikt voor validatie, controle en verrijking van transactie- en klantgegevens.
Authentication
If you want to use this module or you want to run the tests you need to have an access_key and a access_secret.
Example
import os
import sys
import json
import postcodepy
access_key = os.getenv("ACCESS_KEY")
access_secret = os.getenv("ACCESS_SECRET")
# get your access key and secret at https://api.postcode.nl
"""First and third are OK, the 2nd is not OK and raises an Exception
the exception is written to stderr
"""
api = postcodepy.API(environment='live',
access_key=access_key, access_secret=access_secret)
# exit program if one of these exceptions occurs
fatals = [
'PostcodeNl_Controller_Plugin_HttpBasicAuthentication_NotAuthorizedException',
'PostcodeNl_Controller_Plugin_HttpBasicAuthentication_PasswordNotCorrectException'
]
# 2nd and last should fail
for pc in [('1071XX', 1),
('1077XX', 1),
('7514BP', 129),
('7514BP', 129, 'A'),
('7514BP', 129, 'B')]:
try:
retValue = api.get_postcodedata(*pc)
print("\nresults for: {}".format(str(pc)))
print(json.dumps(retValue, sort_keys=True, indent=2))
except postcodepy.PostcodeError as e:
if e.exceptionId in fatals:
sys.stderr.write("Exiting on fatal exception: {} [{}]".
format(e.exceptionId, e.msg))
sys.exit(2)
else:
sys.stderr.write("---------------------------\n")
sys.stderr.write("{}\n".format(str(pc)))
sys.stderr.write("{}\n".format(e.exceptionId))
sys.stderr.write("{}\n".format(json.dumps(
e.response_data, sort_keys=True, indent=2))
)
