How to send a request? - django

Question

I need to send a request with the following data
"order": {
"server_callback_url": "http://site.id/callback",
"currency": "UAH",
"amount": "1400",
"order_type": "settlement",
"response_url": "http://site.id/test/responsepage/",
"order_id": "test1234561467462099.19",
"operation_id": "test1234561467462099.19",
"order_desc": "test order",
"merchant_id": 700001,
"receiver": [
{
"requisites": {
"amount": 100,
"merchant_id": 500001
},
"type": "merchant"
},{
"requisites": {
"amount": 200,
"merchant_id": 600001
},
"type": "merchant"
},
]
}
I need to send them to https://api.fondy.eu/api/settlement
But I never did that. I am not familiar with DRF at all. Tell me how to implement it, please.

Answer 1

If we visit the endpoint, it says that only POST methods are allowed. We can make a POST request for example with the requests package.
import requests
data = {
"order": {
"server_callback_url": "http://site.id/callback",
"currency": "UAH",
"amount": "1400",
"order_type": "settlement",
"response_url": "http://site.id/test/responsepage/",
"order_id": "test1234561467462099.19",
"operation_id": "test1234561467462099.19",
"order_desc": "test order",
"merchant_id": 700001,
"receiver": [
{
"requisites": {
"amount": 100,
"merchant_id": 500001
},
"type": "merchant"
},{
"requisites": {
"amount": 200,
"merchant_id": 600001
},
"type": "merchant"
},
]
}
}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'text/plain'}
response = requests.post('https://api.fondy.eu/api/settlement', data=data, headers=headers)
The header can be important, since it tells you in what format you make your reqest, and some APIs do not work if you do not set the Content-type properly.
The response is here a Response object, and you can parse the response to a Python dictionary with:
response.json()
locally this gives me:
{'response': {'error_code': 1002,
'error_message': 'Application error',
'request_id': 'iUxQzJfyBuxdI'}}
The status code is 200, so that probably means that the callback you specified was not valid (or some other items in your request).

You could use DRF as the documentation :
https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/2-requests-and-responses/
Or without DRF :
# importing the requests library
import requests
# api-endpoint
URL = "https://api.fondy.eu/api/settlement"
# defining a params dict for the parameters to be sent to the API
data =
"order": {
"server_callback_url": "http://site.id/callback",
"currency": "UAH",
"amount": "1400",
"order_type": "settlement",
"response_url": "http://site.id/test/responsepage/",
"order_id": "test1234561467462099.19",
"operation_id": "test1234561467462099.19",
"order_desc": "test order",
"merchant_id": 700001,
"receiver": [
{
"requisites": {
"amount": 100,
"merchant_id": 500001
},
"type": "merchant"
},{
"requisites": {
"amount": 200,
"merchant_id": 600001
},
"type": "merchant"
},
]
}
# sending get request and saving the response as response object
r = requests.POST(url = URL, data= data)
# extracting data in json format
data = r.json()
Maybe you would like to try the API before writing code, there is tool like postman to do this quickly :)
