Getting Started¶
The first step when using the Py-Authorize API is to initialize the client with your Authorize.net API login name and transaction key. The initialization will only need to occur once in your application and must be setup before any other API calls are used.
Test Environment¶
import authorize
authorize.Configuration.configure(
authorize.Environment.TEST,
'api_login_id',
'api_transaction_key',
)
In addition to the Authorize.net API login name and transaction key, the
configure
method also takes an Environment
parameter. For development
and testing configurations users should use the Environment.TEST'
variable. For production configurations, users should use the
Environment.PRODUCTION
variable:
Production Environment¶
import authorize
authorize.Configuration.configure(
authorize.Environment.PRODUCTION,
'api_login_id',
'api_transaction_key',
)
