Discuss Beyonic API on slack

The Beyonic API is a representational state transfer, REST based application programming interface that lets you extend the Beyonic dashboard features into your application and systems, allowing you to build amazing payment experiences.

With the Beyonic API you can:

• Receive and send money and prepaid airtime.
• List currencies and networks supported by the Beyonic API.
• Check whether a bank is supported by the Beyonic API.
• View your account transactions history.
• Add, retrieve, list, and update contacts to your Beyonic account.
• Use webhooks to send notifications to URLs on your server that when specific events occur in your Beyonic account (e.g. payments).

Getting Help

For usage, general questions, and discussions the best place to go to is Beyhive Slack Community, also feel free to clone and edit this repository to meet your project, application or system requirements.

To start using the Beyonic Python API, you need to start by downloading the Beyonic API official Python client library and setting your secret key.

Install the Beyonic API Python Official client library

>>> pip install beyonic

Setting your secrete key.

To set the secrete key install the python-dotenv modeule, Python-dotenv is a Python module that allows you to specify environment variables in traditional UNIX-like “.env” (dot-env) file within your Python project directory, it helps us work with SECRETS and KEYS without exposing them to the outside world, and keep them safe during development too.

Installing python-dotenv modeule

>>> pip install python-dotenv

Creating a .env file to keep our secrete keys.

>>> touch .env

Inside your .env file specify the Beyonic API Token .

.env file

BEYONIC_ACCESS_KEY = "enter your API "

You will get your API Token by clicking your user name on the bottom left of the left sidebar menu in the Beyonic web portal and selecting ‘Manage my account’ from the dropdown menu. The API Token is shown at the very bottom of the page.

getExamples.py

import os 
import beyonic
from dotenv import load_dotenv 

load_dotenv()

myapi = os.environ['BEYONIC_ACCESS_KEY']

beyonic.api_key = myapi 

# Listing account: Working. 
accounts = beyonic.Account.list()

Docker file

FROM python:3.8-slim-buster

COPY . .

COPY ./requirements.txt ./requirements.txt

WORKDIR .

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

CMD [ "python3", "getExamples.py" ]

Build docker image called demo

>>> docker build -t bey .

Run docker image called demo

>>>docker run -t -i bey 

Now, I’ll create a Docker compose file to run a Docker container using the Docker image we just created.

version: "3.6"
services:
  app:
    build: .
    command: python getExamples.py
    volumes:
      - .:/pythonBeyonicExamples

Now we are going to run the following command from the same directory where the docker-compose.yml file is located. The docker compose up command will start and run the entire app.

docker compose up

Output

NB: The screenshot below might differ according to your account deatils and your transcations in deatils.

To stop the container running on daemon mode use the below command.

docker compose stop

Output
