Project description

Chargebee Python Client Library v3

This is the official Python library for integrating with Chargebee.

📘 For a complete reference of available APIs, check out our API Documentation.
🧪 To explore and test API capabilities interactively, head over to our API Explorer.

If you're upgrading from an older version please refer to the Migration Guide

Requirements

Python 3.11+

Installation

Install the latest version of the library with pip:

pip install chargebee

Install from source with:

python setup.py install

Documentation

See our Python API Reference.

Usage

The package needs to be configured with your site's API key, which is available under Configure Chargebee Section. Refer here for more details.

Configuring chargebee client

from chargebee import Chargebee
cb_client = Chargebee(api_key="", site="")

Configuring Timeouts

from chargebee import Chargebee
cb_client = Chargebee(api_key="api_key", site="site")
cb_client.update_read_timeout_secs(3000)
cb_client.update_connect_timeout_secs(5000)

Configuring Retry Delays

from chargebee import Chargebee
cb_client = Chargebee(api_key="api_key", site="site")
cb_client.update_export_retry_delay_ms(3000)
cb_client.update_time_travel_retry_delay_ms(5000)

Making API Request:

# Create a Customer

response = cb_client.Customer.create(
    cb_client.Customer.CreateParams(
        first_name="John",
        last_name="Doe",
        email="john@test.com",
        locale="fr-CA",
        billing_address=cb_client.Customer.BillingAddress(
            first_name="John",
            last_name=" Doe",
            line1="PO Box 9999",
            city="Walnut",
            state="California",
            zip="91789",
            country="US",
        ),
    )
)
customer = response.customer
card = response.card

List API Request With Filter

For pagination, offset is the parameter that is being used. The value used for this parameter must be the value returned in next_offset parameter from the previous API call.

from chargebee import Filters

response = cb_client.Customer.list(
    cb_client.Customer.ListParams(
        first_name=Filters.StringFilter(IS="John")
    )
)
offset = response.next_offset
print(offset)

Using enums

There are two variants of enums in chargebee,

Global enums - These are defined globally and can be accessed across resources.
Resource specific enums - These are defined within a resource and can be accessed using the resource class name.

# Global Enum
import chargebee

response = cb_client.Customer.create(
    cb_client.Customer.CreateParams(
        first_name="John",
        auto_collection=chargebee.AutoCollection.ON,  # global enum
    )
)
print(response.customer)

# Resource Specific Enum

response = cb_client.Customer.change_billing_date(
    cb_client.Customer.ChangeBillingDateParams(
        first_name="John",
        billing_day_of_week=cb_client.Customer.BillingDayOfWeek.MONDAY,  # resource specific enum
    )
)
print(response.customer)

Using custom fields

response = cb_client.Customer.create(
    cb_client.Customer.CreateParams(
        first_name="John",
        cf_host_url="https://john.com",  # `cf_host_url` is a custom field in Customer object
    )
)
print(response.customer.cf_host_url)

Creating an idempotent request:

Idempotency keys are passed along with request headers to allow a safe retry of POST requests.

response = cb_client.Customer.create(
    cb_client.Customer.CreateParams(
        first_name="John",
        last_name="Doe",
        email="john@test.com",
        locale="fr-CA",
        billing_address=cb_client.Customer.BillingAddress(
            first_name="John",
            last_name=" Doe",
            line1="PO Box 9999",
            city="Walnut",
            state="California",
            zip="91789",
            country="US",
        ),
    ),
    None,
    {
        "chargebee-idempotency-key": "<<UUID>>"
    },  # Replace <<UUID>> with a unique string
)
customer = response.customer
card = response.card
responseHeaders = response.headers  # Retrieves response headers
print(responseHeaders)
idempotencyReplayedValue = response.is_idempotency_replayed  # Retrieves Idempotency replayed header value
print(idempotencyReplayedValue)

Waiting for Process Completion

The response from the previous API call must be passed as an argument for wait_for_export_completion() or wait_for_time_travel_completion()

# Wait For Export Completion

from chargebee import Filters

response = cb_client.Export.customers(
    cb_client.Export.CustomersParams(
        customer=cb_client.Export.CustomersCustomerParams(
            first_name=Filters.StringFilter(IS="John")
        )
    )
)
print(cb_client.Export.wait_for_export_completion(response.export))
