A Flask wrapper around the Paylogic Shopping API.

The main reason for using this wrapper is that Paylogic Shopping API does not provide native support for JavaScript clients. So to avoid including the API_KEY and API_SECRET in the client, we encapsulate them in this app.

Getting started

Create a virtual environment and install the requirements.

> virtualenv env
> source env/bin/activate
> pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a file (e.g. privates.py) which will contain the API_KEY and API_SECRET with which you can access the Paylogic Shopping API. Optionally, you can include the DEBUG flag. The contents of the file should look like this:

API_KEY = '<api_key>'
API_SECRET = '<api_secret>'
DEBUG = False

Next create an env variable with the name PAYSHOP_SETTINGS that will point to this file. We use this env variable during the configuration of the app.

export PAYSHOP_SETTINGS=~/path/to/privates.py

And finally run the app from the root directory.

python run.py
