Stark Infra API documentation

Feel free to take a look at our API docs.

Versioning

This project adheres to the following versioning pattern:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment:

• MAJOR version when the API version is incremented. This may include backwards incompatible changes;
• MINOR version when breaking changes are introduced OR new functionalities are added in a backwards compatible manner;
• PATCH version when backwards compatible bug fixes are implemented.

Setup

1. Install our SDK

1.1 To install the package with pip, run:

pip install starkinfra

1.2 To install from source, clone the repo and run:

python setup.py install

2. Create your Private and Public Keys

We use ECDSA. That means you need to generate a secp256k1 private key to sign your requests to our API, and register your public key with us, so we can validate those requests.

You can use one of the following methods:

2.1. Check out the options in our tutorial.

2.2. Use our SDK:

import starkinfra

privateKey, publicKey = starkinfra.key.create()

# or, to also save .pem files in a specific path
privateKey, publicKey = starkinfra.key.create("file/keys/")

NOTE: When you are creating new credentials, it is recommended that you create the keys inside the infrastructure that will use it, in order to avoid risky internet transmissions of your private-key. Then you can export the public-key alone to the computer where it will be used in the new Project creation.

3. Register your user credentials

You can interact directly with our API using two types of users: Projects and Organizations.

• Projects are workspace-specific users, that is, they are bound to the workspaces they are created in. One workspace can have multiple Projects.
• Organizations are general users that control your entire organization. They can control all your Workspaces and even create new ones. The Organization is bound to your company's tax ID only. Since this user is unique in your entire organization, only one credential can be linked to it.

3.1. To create a Project in Sandbox:

3.1.1. Log into StarkInfra Sandbox

3.1.2. Go to Menu > Integrations

3.1.3. Click on the "New Project" button

3.1.4. Create a Project: Give it a name and upload the public key you created in section 2

3.1.5. After creating the Project, get its Project ID

3.1.6. Use the Project ID and private key to create the object below:

import starkinfra

# Get your private key from an environment variable or an encrypted database.
# This is only an example of a private key content. You should use your own key.
private_key_content = """
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
BgUrgQQACg==
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHQCAQEEIMCwW74H6egQkTiz87WDvLNm7fK/cA+ctA2vg/bbHx3woAcGBSuBBAAK
oUQDQgAE0iaeEHEgr3oTbCfh8U2L+r7zoaeOX964xaAnND5jATGpD/tHec6Oe9U1
IF16ZoTVt1FzZ8WkYQ3XomRD4HS13A==
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
"""

project = starkinfra.Project(
    environment="sandbox",
    id="5656565656565656",
    private_key=private_key_content
)

3.2. To create Organization credentials in Sandbox:

3.2.1. Log into Starkinfra Sandbox

3.2.2. Go to Menu > Integrations

3.2.3. Click on the "Organization public key" button

3.2.4. Upload the public key you created in section 2 (only a legal representative of the organization can upload the public key)

3.2.5. Click on your profile picture and then on the "Organization" menu to get the Organization ID

3.2.6. Use the Organization ID and private key to create the object below:

import starkinfra

# Get your private key from an environment variable or an encrypted database.
# This is only an example of a private key content. You should use your own key.
private_key_content = """
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
BgUrgQQACg==
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHQCAQEEIMCwW74H6egQkTiz87WDvLNm7fK/cA+ctA2vg/bbHx3woAcGBSuBBAAK
oUQDQgAE0iaeEHEgr3oTbCfh8U2L+r7zoaeOX964xaAnND5jATGpD/tHec6Oe9U1
IF16ZoTVt1FzZ8WkYQ3XomRD4HS13A==
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
"""

organization = starkinfra.Organization(
    environment="sandbox",
    id="5656565656565656",
    private_key=private_key_content,
    workspace_id=None,  # You only need to set the workspace_id when you are operating a specific workspace_id
)

NOTE 1: Never hard-code your private key. Get it from an environment variable or an encrypted database.

NOTE 2: We support 'sandbox' and 'production' as environments.

NOTE 3: The credentials you registered in sandbox do not exist in production and vice versa.

4. Setting up the user

There are three kinds of users that can access our API: Organization, Project, and Member.

• Project and Organization are designed for integrations and are the ones meant for our SDKs.
• Member is the one you use when you log into our webpage with your e-mail.

There are two ways to inform the user to the SDK:

4.1 Passing the user as an argument in all functions:

import starkinfra

balance = starkinfra.pixbalance.get(user=project)  # or organization

4.2 Set it as a default user in the SDK:

import starkinfra

starkinfra.user = project  # or organization

balance = starkinfra.pixbalance.get()

Just select the way of passing the user that is more convenient to you. On all following examples, we will assume a default user has been set.

5. Setting up the error language

The error language can also be set in the same way as the default user:

import starkinfra

starkinfra.language = "en-US"

Language options are "en-US" for English and "pt-BR" for Brazilian Portuguese. English is the default.

Resource listing and manual pagination

Almost all SDK resources provide a query and a page function.

• The query function provides a straightforward way to efficiently iterate through all results that match the filters you inform, seamlessly retrieving the next batch of elements from the API only when you reach the end of the current batch. If you are not worried about data volume or processing time, this is the way to go.

import starkinfra

for request in starkinfra.pixrequest.query(limit=200):
    print(request)

• The page function gives you full control over the API pagination. With each function call, you receive up to 100 results and the cursor to retrieve the next batch of elements. This allows you to stop your queries and pick up from where you left off whenever it is convenient. When there are no more elements to be retrieved, the returned cursor will be None.

import starkinfra

cursor = None
while True:
    requests, cursor = starkinfra.pixrequest.page(limit=50, cursor=cursor)
    for request in requests:
        print(request)
    if cursor is None:
        break

To simplify the following SDK examples, we will only use the query function, but feel free to use page instead.

Testing in Sandbox

Your initial balance is zero. For many operations in Stark Infra, you'll need funds in your account, which can be added to your balance by creating a Pix Request.

In the Sandbox environment, most of the created Pix Requests will be automatically paid, so there's nothing else you need to do to add funds to your account. Just create a few Pix Request and wait around a bit.

In Production, you (or one of your clients) will need to actually pay this Pix Request for the value to be credited to your account.

Usage

Here are a few examples on how to use the SDK. If you have any doubts, use the built-in help() function to get more info on the desired functionality (for example: help(starkinfra.boleto.create))

Create pix requests

You can create a Pix request to charge a user:

import starkinfra

requests = starkinfra.pixrequest.create([
    starkinfra.PixRequest(
        amount=100,  # (R$ 1.00)
        external_id="141234121",  # so we can block anything you send twice by mistake
        sender_branch_code="0000",
        sender_account_number="00000-0",
        sender_account_type="checking",
        sender_name="Tyrion Lannister",
        sender_tax_id="012.345.678-90",
        receiver_bank_code="00000001",
        receiver_branch_code="0001",
        receiver_account_number="00000-1",
        receiver_account_type="checking",
        receiver_name="Jamie Lannister",
        receiver_tax_id="45.987.245/0001-92",
        end_to_end_id="E20018183202201201450u34sDGd19lz",
        description="For saving my life",
    ),
    starkinfra.PixRequest(
        amount=200,  # (R$ 2.00)
        external_id="2135613462",  # so we can block anything you send twice by mistake
        sender_account_number="00000-0",
        sender_branch_code="0000",
        sender_account_type="checking",
        sender_name="Arya Stark",
        sender_tax_id="012.345.678-90",
        receiver_bank_code="00000001",
        receiver_account_number="00000-1",
        receiver_branch_code="0001",
        receiver_account_type="checking",
        receiver_name="John Snow",
        receiver_tax_id="012.345.678-90",
        end_to_end_id="E20018183202201201450u34sDGd19lz",
        tags=["Needle", "sword"],
    )
])

for request in requests:
    print(request)

Note: Instead of using Pix Request objects, you can also pass each transaction element in dictionary format

Query pix requests

You can query multiple pix requests according to filters.

import starkinfra
from datetime import datetime

requests = starkinfra.pixrequest.query(
    fields=["amount", "id"],
    limit=10,
    after=datetime(2020, 1, 1),
    before=datetime(2020, 4, 1),
    status="success",
    tags=["iron", "suit"],
    end_to_end_id="E79457883202101262140HHX553UPqeq",
)

for request in requests:
    print(request)

Get a pix request

After its creation, information on a pix request may be retrieved by its id. Its status indicated whether it has been paid.

import starkinfra

request = starkinfra.pixrequest.get("5155165527080960")

print(request)

Query pix request logs

You can query pix request logs to better understand pix request life cycles.

import starkinfra

logs = starkinfra.pixrequest.log.query(
    limit=50, 
    after="2022-01-01",
    before="2022-01-20",
)

for log in logs:
    print(log)

Get a pix request log

You can also get a specific log by its id.

import starkinfra

log = starkinfra.pixrequest.log.get("5155165527080960")

print(log)

Create pix reversals

You can reverse a pix request by whole or by a fraction of its amount using a pix reversal.

import starkinfra

reversal = starkinfra.pixreversal.create([
    starkinfra.PixReversal(
        amount=100,
        end_to_end_id="E00000000202201060100rzsJzG9PzMg",
        external_id="17238435823958934",
        reason="bankError",
    )
])

print(reversal)

Query pix reversals

You can query multiple pix reversals according to filters.

import starkinfra

reversals = starkinfra.pixreversal.query(
    fields=["amount", "id"],
    limit=10,
    after=datetime(2020, 1, 1),
    before=datetime(2020, 4, 1),
    status="success",
    tags=["iron", "suit"],
    return_id="D20018183202202030109X3OoBHG74wo",
)

for reversal in reversals:
    print(reversal)

Get a pix reversal

After its creation, information on a pix reversal may be retrieved by its id. Its status indicated whether it has been paid.

import starkinfra

reversal = starkinfra.pixreversal.get("5155165527080960")

print(reversal)

Query pix reversal logs

You can query pix reversal logs to better understand pix reversal life cycles.

import starkinfra

logs = starkinfra.pixreversal.log.query(
    limit=50, 
    after="2022-01-01",
    before="2022-01-20",
)

for log in logs:
    print(log)

Get a pix reversal log

You can also get a specific log by its id.

import starkinfra

log = starkinfra.pixreversal.log.get("5155165527080960")

print(log)

Get pix balance

To know how much money you have in your workspace, run:

import starkinfra

balance = starkinfra.pixbalance.get()

print(balance)

Create pix statement

Statements are only available for direct participants. To create a statement of all the transactions that happened on your workspace during a specific day, run:

import starkinfra

statement = starkinfra.pixstatement.create(
    starkinfra.PixStatement(
        after="2022-01-01", # This is the date that you want to create a statement.
        before="2022-01-01", # After and before must be the same date.
        type="transaction" # Options are "interchange", "interchangeTotal", "transaction".
    )
)

print(statement)

Query pix statements

You can query multiple pix statements according to filters.

import starkinfra

statements = starkinfra.pixstatement.query(
    limit=50, 
    after="2022-01-01", # Note that this after and before parameters are different from the ones used in the creation of the statement. 
    before="2022-01-20",
)

for statement in statements:
    print(statement)

Get a pix statement

Statements are only available for direct participants. To get a pix statement by its id:

import starkinfra

statement = starkinfra.pixstatement.get("5155165527080960")

print(statement)

Get a pix statement .csv file

To get a .csv file of a pix statement using its id, run:

import starkinfra

csv = starkinfra.pixstatement.csv("5155165527080960")

with open("test.csv", "wb") as file:
    file.write(csv)

Process webhook events

It's easy to process events that arrived in your webhook. Remember to pass the signature header so the SDK can make sure it's StarkInfra that sent you the event.

import starkinfra

response = listen()  # this is the method you made to get the events posted to your webhook endpoint

event = starkinfra.event.parse(
    content=response.data.decode("utf-8"),
    signature=response.headers["Digital-Signature"],
)

if event.subscription == "pix-request.in" or event.subscription == "pix-request.out":
    print(event.log.request)

elif event.subscription == "pix-reversal.in" or event.subscription == "pix-reversal.out":
    print(event.log.reversal)

Handling errors

The SDK may raise one of four types of errors: InputErrors, InternalServerError, UnknownError, InvalidSignatureError

InputErrors will be raised whenever the API detects an error in your request (status code 400). If you catch such an error, you can get its elements to verify each of the individual errors that were detected in your request by the API. For example:

import starkinfra

try:
    reversal = starkinfra.pixreversal.create([
        starkinfra.PixReversal(
            amount=100,
            end_to_end_id="E00000000202201060100rzsJzG9PzMg",
            external_id="17238435823958934",
            reason="bankError",
        )
    ])
except starkinfra.error.InputErrors as exception:
    for error in exception.errors:
        print(error.code)
        print(error.message)

InternalServerError will be raised if the API runs into an internal error. If you ever stumble upon this one, rest assured that the development team is already rushing in to fix the mistake and get you back up to speed.

UnknownError will be raised if a request encounters an error that is neither InputErrors nor an InternalServerError, such as connectivity problems.

InvalidSignatureError will be raised specifically by starkinfra.event.parse() when the provided content and signature do not check out with the Stark Infra public key.
