Usage

1. Checking for a transaction

from soofa import Soofa, Transaction

soofa = Soofa("you_soofa_till_number", "your_client_secret_here")
exists = soofa.find("tranaction_id_here")
if exists:
    transaction: Transaction = soofa.get_transaction()
    print(transaction.tid)
    print(transaction.sender)
    print(transaction.gross_amount)
