The new and improved Dwolla library based off of the Python requests
client. dwolla-python
includes support for all API endpoints, and is the new library officially supported by Dwolla.
2.0.1
dwolla-python
is available on PyPi, and therefore can be installed automagically via pip.
The Python requests
library is required for dwolla-python
to operate. It is included as a dependency on this package if your environment does not already have it.
To install:
pip install dwolla
To add to requirements.txt
and make this a permanent dependency of your package:
YourApp
SomeLibrary==1.2.3
dwolla>=2.0.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
dwolla-python
makes it easy for developers to hit the ground running with our API. Before attempting the following, you should ideally create an application key and secret.
- Change settings in
constants.py
by editing the file, or on-the-fly by doingfrom dwolla import constants
,constants.some_setting = some_value
. from dwolla import module
wheremodule
is eitheraccounts
,checkouts
,contacts
,fundingsources
,masspay
,oauth
,request
, ortransactions
, orfrom dwolla import *
to import all.- Use at will!
dwolla-python
allows you to import only the modules you need.
For this example, we will get information about a Dwolla ID.
from dwolla import accounts
print accounts.basic('812-121-7199')
dwolla-python
also allows you to import the entire library to access everything at once.
For this example, we will get information about a Dwolla ID, as well as request 5.00 from that same ID.
from dwolla import *
# Get information about the ID
print accounts.basic('812-121-7199')
# Request $5.00 from that ID
print request.create('812-121-7199', 5.00)
Whenever you change settings, they will only be partially applied. This means that settings in constants.py
will remain until they are changed.
client_id = 'YOUR ID HERE'
client_secret = 'YOUR SECRET HERE'
pin = 1234
oauth_scope = 'Send|Transactions|Balance|Request|Contacts|AccountInfoFull|Funding|ManageAccount'
access_token = 'OAUTH TOKENS GO HERE'
# Hostnames, endpoints
production_host = 'https://www.dwolla.com/'
sandbox_host = 'https://uat.dwolla.com/'
default_postfix = 'oauth/rest'
# Client behavior
sandbox = True
debug = True
host = None
rest_timeout = 15
proxy = False
dwolla-python
also supports proxies. In order to set proxies, you must assign a python dictionary to the proxy constant in the following format:
proxy = {
'http': 'http://someproxy:someport',
'https': 'https://anotherproxy:anotherport'
}
customsettings.py
contains the following example in more detail.
# Import everything from the dwolla package
from dwolla import *
# Configure the library (change these)
constants.sandbox=False
constants.client_id = "zbDwIC0dWCVU7cQtfvGwVwVjvxwQfjaTgkVi+FZOmKqPBzK5JG"
constants.client_secret = "ckmgwJz9h/fZ09unyXxpupCyrmAMe0bnUiMHF/0+SDaR9RHe99"
constants.access_token = "aK6DdCVlIsR1hKvTbp8VCwnvci8cwaTLlW9edtbHJVmKoopnoe"
# Example 1: Get basic information for a user via
# their Dwolla ID.
print accounts.basic('812-202-3784')
For endpoints that take either an access_token
or a pin
, it is possible to pass in alternate tokens or pins into those functions.
def create(fundssource, items, params=False, alternate_token=False, alternate_pin=False):
from dwolla import masspay
myItems = {...}
masspay.create('Balance', myItems, alternate_token="My Alternate Token", alternate_pin=1234)
There are 9 quick-start files which will walk you through working with dwolla-python
's classes/endpoint groupings.
customsettings.py
: Instantiate library with custom settings.accounts.py
: Retrieve account information, such as balance.checkouts.py
: Offsite-gateway endpoints, server-to-server checkout example.contacts.py

: Send money, get transaction info by ID, etc.
dwolla-python
is a conglomerate of multiple modules; each module in the dwolla/
directory is named after a the endpoints that it covers (similar to Dwolla's developer documentation).
Each endpoint module depends on Rest()
in rest.py
to fulfill GET
and POST
requests.

dwolla-python
uses unittest for unit testing. Integration testing is planned sometime in the future.
To run the tests, install dwolla-python
as per the aforementioned instructions and run:
cd location/of/the/library
pip install unittest
python -m unittest discover tests/
In order for the library's README file to display nicely on PyPi, we must use the *.rst
file format. When making changes to this README file, please use this tool to convert the *.md
file to *.rst
, and make sure to keep both files updated.
2.0.1
- Added MANIFEST.in to resolve issues with README failing retrieval from PyPi.
2.0.0
- Initial release.
This wrapper is based on requests for REST capability and uses unittest for unit testing and Travis for automagical build verification.
Version 2.x
initially written by David Stancu ([email protected]).
Versions 1.x
:
The old wrapper is a forked extension of Thomas Hansen's 'dwolla-python' module.
