Revolut API client for Python

travis coveralls

A Python wrapper for Revolut API, Python 3.x compatible.

Latest release

Release 0.10.1, a working beta.

Notes for 0.10.x

  • dropped top-level classes in favor of business and merchant submodules
  • MerchantClient throws exceptions on failures
  • dropped MerchantClient.update_order

Notes for 0.9.x

  • added revolut.merchant and MerchantClient within, which supports very basic Merchant API functionality (creating and retrieving simple orders)
  • the revolut.Client class has been renamed to revolut.business.BusinessClient; the old import will remain valid in 0.9.x, however it will issue warning and the resulting object will fail on type checks, like isinstance
  • moved other classes like Client, Transaction, etc. to the revolut.business submodule; top level import is deprecated, like above.

Authorization

In September 2019 Revolut introduced much more complex authorization system based on OAuth2. Since version 0.6 this module supports only the new authorization model and old access keys become obsolete.

The flow

This description should help you get through the auth mess. It assumes you want to run the module in a non-interactive way (e.g. as a backend for a web service). Mobile applications will require some additional research on your side.

  1. Make sure you have OpenSSL installed.
  2. Run $ revolut_genkey.sh to generate key pair. Answer questions about your organization.
  3. Two files will be generated: prvkey.pem and pubkey.pem. Store them in a safe place. The script will also print the contents of pubkey.pem to the console. This is your X509 public key.
  4. In Revolut panel go to Settings / API and click Set up API access.
  5. Paste the public key into the form field.
  6. If you don't know what OAuth redirect URI means and why you need it, enter some bullshit URL there. It'd be better, however, if it pointed to your domain. Submit the form.
  7. You'll land back in API settings, this time you will be presented with client_id and iss values needed in further steps.
  8. Click Enable API access to your account, continue with Authorize.
  9. Confirm with SMS code.
  10. After a couple of seconds you'll be redirected to the URL you have provided as OAuth redirect. Check the address bar. It will contain a code parameter. This is your auth_code.
  11. Run $ revolut_getjwt.py prvkey.pem <iss> <client_id>. The output will be your jwt.
  12. Run $ revolut_gettokens.py <auth_code> <client_id> <jwt>. The script will return access_token (with expiration time) and refresh_token. (If you do it too slowly, the auth code expires and you get "unauthorized_client" error. Return to step 8.)

Now you're almost done, with some pieces of data on your hand. There are two ways to continue:

  1. Create revolut.session.TemporarySession with the access_token and use it until the token expires.
  2. Create revolut.session.RenewableSession with refresh_token, client_id and jwt. It will be more durable, creating fresh access_token each time.

However, it seems that after 90 days your API access expires anyway and you'd have to click Refresh access in the panel and restart the above process from point 8. Or whatever the EU shitheads invented in PSD2.
