nextpertise / hostfact-python-client Goto Github PK

Tonight I tried to do a production test on creating invoices with the Advantech Portal. Something unexpected happened. There were invoicelines added to a very old invoice which was sent years ago to a client.

What happened:

We misunderstood the list API https://www.hostfact.nl/developer/api/facturen/list, you can only search at one value at the time in one ore more columns. The reason it worked for you is that the first hit, happened to be the right result for you.

The API call should have parameters like:

"searchat": "DebtorCode"
"searchfor": $debtor_code

After we should iterate the results and filter out the newest draft invoice (status=0).

Code to update:

• Initial example Python class: https://github.com/Nextpertise/imp/blob/019b3f1355af13841bdd680c7abb9dc5f9c961a8/legacy/database/wefact/wefact.py#L25-L81
• Make use of poetry to create the pip package.
• Package name: hostfact-python-client

Power of the class:

1. Find a generic way to convert the PHP lib (https://www.hostfact.nl/downloads/HostFact-API-3.0.zip) to Python lib:

PHP example converted to Python: https://www.hostfact.nl/developer/api/facturen/list

client = HostFact(url="https://server.domain.com/Pro/apiv2/api.php", apikey="secret")

# Example: search for all invoices on date 2014-05-13
filter = {
    "searchat": "Date",
    "searchfor": "2014-05-13"
}
client.invoice.list()

2. Create a few samples (invoices: list, add, edit, upload attachment)

3. Add README.md

4. Add no references to any Nextpertise servers in the source file. This way we can publish the pip to pipy.

Hi @Kamenlom,

Those print statements should not be printed by default. Can we hide it behind a verbose or debug flag, so it will not be printed in the application which includes this lib?

After update version, and push new version to Pypi.

• Implement timeout
• Report HTTP status code
• Bump Python version
• Bump Pytest version
• Add Pytest for API key error
