Getting Started

Here's how to add the Lockstep python SDK to your project.

1. Pip install the Lockstep API

 path\\to\\project\\file: pip install lockstep-sdk

2. Obtain an API key for the Lockstep Platform API by visiting: API Key

3. Creating LockstepAPI Client in your .py file

env = 'PASS_ENVIRONMENT_HERE'
client = LockstepApi(env)
client.with_api_key([INSERT_API_KEY])

if not client:
    print("ISSUE WITH CLIENT, NO API KEY OR WRONG ENVIRONMENT")
else:
    print(f"CLIENT WAS CREATED SUCCESSFULLY: {client}")
    return client

4. Make a ping call to make sure you're connected https://developer.lockstep.io/reference/v1_status_retrievestatus

status_results = client.status.ping()
print(f"StatusResult: {status_results}")

You now have your API credentials and have successfully created your client.

How to Use (Basic Usage)

This example will show you how to call an API, using the Query Invoices API to retrieve a collection of invoices.

# Connect to Client
# Lockstep provides sandbox and production environments
env = 'sbx'
client = LockstepApi(env)

# Add your API key here
client.with_api_key([INSERT_API_KEY])

# Querying for the first 10 invoices sorted by invoice date
invoices = client.invoices.query_invoices(
            "invoiceDate",
            "Company",
            "invoiceDate asc",
            10,
            0)

print(invoices['records'])
