bloomcredit-python

Use the Bloom Credit API with Python.

Credentials

To start the authentication process with the Bloom API, make sure you have both a client_id and client_secret ready to be used. Using these credentials, you will be able to generate the access token used to authenticate your API calls. You will need to contact Bloom Credit for credentials.

Audience will determine which endpoint you will submit your requests through. Either dev-api or api.bloomcredit.io.

Installation

To install, you can use pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/CaffeineLab/bloomcredit-python.git

Environmental Variables

You can store your API keys in a .env file in the root of your project. Either create the file using the template below, or use the provided .env.example file. Make sure to replace the placeholders with the provided API key for the system being accessed.

BLOOM_CLIENT_ID=<client_id>
BLOOM_CLIENT_SECRET=<client_secret>
BLOOM_AUDIENCE=<audience>

Usage

Fetch Token

# Fetch Token using credentials stored in the .env file
auth_token, response = bloom.fetch_auth_token()
print(auth_token)

# Fetch Token ignoring credentials stored in the .env file
auth_token, response = bloom.fetch_auth_token(
    audience="<audience>",
    client_id="<client_id>",
    client_secret="<client_secret>",
    grant_type="client_credentials"
)
print(auth_token)

Fetch Portfolios

Just a reference function for pulling the list of portfolios for the current organization.

portfolio_id, response = bloom.get_portfolios(
   auth_token=auth_token
)

Register Consumer

consumer_info = {
   "ssn": "123456789",
   "city": "Scranton",
   "line1": "1725 Slough Avenue",
   "state_code": "PA",
   "zipcode": "18503",
   "date_of_birth": "1964-03-15",
   "first_name": "Michael",
   "last_name": "Scott",
   "address_primary": True
}

consumer_id, response = bloom.register_consumer(
   consumer_info=consumer_info,
   auth_token=auth_token
)

Order Credit Data

credit_order, response = bloom.order_credit_data(
   consumer_id=consumer_id,
   portfolio_id=portfolio_id,
   sku="equifax-gold-soft-fico-internet",
   auth_token=auth_token
)

Get Credit Data

If you use the outfile parameter, it will save the response from Bloom Credit into the given filepath.

credit_data, response = bloom.get_credit_data(
   order_id=credit_order,
   auth_token=auth_token,
   outfile="credit_data.json"
)
