Quick start guide to the Python SDK

Software development kits make integration simple so you can quickly get products to market

This section provides information about how to set up and use the Expedia Group platform SDK for Python.

1. Sign up for a partner account

Before you can access any API endpoint, you would need to sign up for a partner account using the Expedia Group Console.

2. Create API credentials

In the Console, go to the product catalog and add the Fraud Prevention Service to your partner account. You can then create an API client from the link in the menu and add the product scopes to it. Be sure to save your API client ID and secret to a secure location once it's created.

3. Set up a Python development environment

Your development environment needs to have Python 3.7 or later. You can use any PyPi dependency manager to configure SDK dependencies for your projects.

4. Create a service client and configure credentials

All API requests must be authenticated using your API client ID and secret. Create a FraudPreventionV2Client and configure it with your credentials.

fraud_prevention_client = FraudPreventionV2Client(
        ClientConfig(
            key="YOUR_KEY",
            secret="YOUR_SECRET"
        )
    )

client_config: ClientConfig = ClientConfig(
        key=my_key,
        secret=my_secret,
        endpoint="URI",
        request_timeout=10_000
    )

5. Build request object and make API calls

Build your request object using the classes defined in the SDK, and use the service client to make the API call using it.

request: OrderPurchaseScreenRequest =
    OrderPurchaseScreenRequest(
        ...
    )

fraud_prevention_client.screen(request)
