​
Overview

The ParityDeals Python SDK provides a convenient way to interact with the ParityDeals REST APIs from your Python application. The SDK supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations.

​
Installation

To install the ParityDeals SDK in your environment, run the following command: 
pip install paritydeals-sdk

​
Prerequisites

Before you can initialize the client and use the SDK methods, you need a Server API Key. You can obtain this key from the ParityDeals application:
  1. Navigate to Settings.
  2. Go to the Developers section.
  3. Copy the Server API Key.
Once copied, add this key to your environment variables or directly in your code (though environment variables are recommended for security). 
# Example of setting it in your code (ensure you handle this securely)
ACCESS_TOKEN = "__YOUR_API_KEY__"

​
Configuring the Client

The SDK supports both synchronous and asynchronous clients. The primary difference lies in how you create the client instance. Once created, both client types can invoke the same methods to communicate with the ParityDeals application.

​
How to Create a Synchronous Client

Use the synchronous client for traditional, blocking I/O operations. 
from paritydeals_sdk import ParityDeals

client = ParityDeals.create_sync_client(access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN)

​
How to Create an Asynchronous Client

Use the asynchronous client for non-blocking I/O operations, suitable for applications using asyncio. 
from paritydeals_sdk import ParityDeals

async_client = ParityDeals.create_async_client(access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN)

​
Supported Functionalities

The SDK currently supports the following operations:
  1. Customers
  2. Checkout
  3. Entitlements
  4. Reporting
  5. Subscriptions
Further details on each method, including parameters and return values, should be added under each functionality.

​
Customers

The customers module allows you to manage customer records within ParityDeals. You can access these operations via the customers attribute on an initialized ParityDeals client instance. All methods are available in both synchronous and asynchronous versions, depending on how the ParityDeals client was instantiated.

​
Creates a new customer

Synchronous: 
new_customer = client.customers.create(
    customerId="unique-customer-id-123",
    email="new.customer@example.com",
    name="John Doe",
    metadata={"source": "sdk_import", "priority": "high"}
)
print(f"Customer Created: ID = {new_customer.id}, Customer Client ID = {new_customer.customerId}")
Asynchronous: 
new_customer = await async_client.customers.create(
    customerId="unique-customer-id-456",
    email="another.new.customer@example.com",
    name="Jane Roe"
)
print(f"Customer Created (Async): ID = {new_customer.id}, Customer Client ID = {new_customer.customerId}")
Required Parameters:
  • customerId (str): A unique identifier for the customer that you define. This ID will be used to reference the customer in subsequent API calls.
Optional Parameters:
  • email (str): The email address of the customer. Must be a valid email format.
  • name (str): The name of the customer.
  • metadata (Dict[str, str]): A dictionary of custom key-value pairs to store additional information about the customer.
Returns: An instance of CustomerResponse (Pydantic model), representing the newly created customer record. Key attributes include:
  • id (str): The server-generated unique UUID for the customer record.
  • customerId (str): The client-provided customer identifier.
  • name (str): The customer’s name.
  • email (str): The customer’s email.
  • details ([Dict[str, Any]]): Any server-added details about the customer (typically read-only).
  • metadata ([Dict[str, str]]): The metadata associated with the customer.
  • createdOn (string) : ISO 8601 timestamp of when the customer was created.
  • modifiedOn (string) : ISO 8601 timestamp of when the customer was last modified.

​
Updates an existing customer

This operation performs a partial update (PATCH), so you only need to provide the fields you want to change. Synchronous: 
    updated_customer = client.customers.update(
        customerId="unique-customer-id-123",
        name="Johnathan Doe",
        metadata={"source": "sdk_import", "priority": "very_high", "status": "active"}
    )
    print(f"Customer Updated: {updated_customer.name}")
Asynchronous: 
    updated_customer = await async_client.customers.update(
        customerId="unique-customer-id-456",
        email="jane.roe.updated@example.com"
    )
    print(f"Customer Updated (Async): {updated_customer.email}")
Parameters: Required Parameters:
  • customerId (str): A unique identifier for the customer that you define. This ID will be used to reference the customer in subsequent API calls.
Optional Parameters:
  • email (str): The email address of the customer. Must be a valid email format.
  • name (str): The name of the customer.
  • metadata (Dict[str, str]): A dictionary of custom key-value pairs to store additional information about the customer.
Returns: An instance of CustomerResponse (Pydantic model), representing the newly created customer record. Key attributes include:

  • name (str): The customer’s name.
  • email (str): The customer’s email.
  • details ([Dict[str, Any]]): Any server-added details about the customer (typically read-only).
  • metadata ([Dict[str, Any]]): The metadata associated with the customer.
  • createdOn (string) : ISO 8601 timestamp of when the customer was created.
  • modifiedOn (string) : ISO 8601 timestamp of when the customer was last modified.

​
Checkout

The checkout module provides functionalities for creating and managing checkout sessions. You can access these operations via the checkout attribute on an initialized ParityDeals client instance. create_session(...) This operation creates a new checkout session for a customer, allowing them to proceed with a purchase or subscription. Synchronous: 
response = client.checkout.create_session(
    planIdentifier="plan-pro-monthly",
    chargePeriod="MONTHLY",
    customerId="cust_789", // Recommended, otherwise it will create a new customer
    successUrl="https://paritydeals.com/checkout/success"
)
print(f"Checkout Session URL: {response.checkoutUrl}")
Asynchronous: 
response = await async_client.checkout.create_session(

​
Entitlements

The entitlements module allows you to check and retrieve customer entitlements for various features. These operations target a specific edge API endpoint (https://edge.api.paritydeals.com by default) and use the GET HTTP method with query parameters.

​
Checks if a specific customer has access to a particular feature.

This method directly returns a boolean indicating access status. Synchronous:

has_feature_access = await async_client.entitlements.has_access(
    customerId="cust_456",
    featureId="advanced-analytics"
)
Required Parameters:
  • customerId (str): The unique identifier for the customer.
  • featureId (str): The unique identifier for the feature whose access is being checked.
Returns:
  • bool: True if the customer has access to the specified feature (considering feature type, limits, etc.), False otherwise or if the feature is not found in their entitlements.

​
Retrieves the detailed entitlement information for a specific feature for a given customer.

Synchronous: 
entitlement_response = client.entitlements.get_entitlement(

Reporting

​
Reporting pre-aggregated usages for customer

This endpoint is used for reporting the pre-aggregated feature usage from your application (client-level) to the ParityDeals application. It allows you to update the usage count for a specific feature associated with a customer. Synchronous:

​
Using the Sandbox Environment

The SDK can connect to the ParityDeals sandbox environment, which is perfect for testing and development. All operations performed in the sandbox are isolated and will not affect your live production data. To use the sandbox, simply pass the argument environment="sandbox" when creating the client.

​
How to Create a Synchronous Client (Sandbox)

from paritydeals_sdk import ParityDeals

# Note the 'environment' parameter
client = ParityDeals.create_sync_client(
    access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN,
    environment="sandbox"
)
The sandbox environment is completely separate from production. You will need to use a different set of API keys, and any data created (customers, subscriptions, etc.) will only exist in the sandbox.
