Python

Initial Setup

The LoginID Server SDK enables you to perform operations which are protected, enabling much more robust functionality for your users.

Create API Credential on the Dashboard

An application must be created on the LoginID Dashboard in order to correctly configure the Server SDK.

Once logged into the dashboard, navigate to the Applications tab in the sidebar, select “Add Application,” and select Management.

In the resulting form, you must create a name for your application and provide an API credential to be associated with this application. If you have already created an application, we suggest using the naming convention of “{my-app) server.”

When adding the API credential, you can either upload your own public key, or have us generate a key pair on your behalf.

note

All API calls made from a Management integration type require an API Service Token

Add SDK to Existing Application

Github
PIP

git clone git@github.com:loginid1/python-sdk.git
cd python-sdk

pip install .

pip install loginid

Create an SDK Instance

from loginid import LoginID

lid = LoginID(client_id=CLIENT_ID, private_key=PRIVATE_KEY)

note

If using a custom base_url, you can initialize the SDK with that base_url. Otherwise, it will default to the main LoginID production environment.

Application API Reference

`LoginID` Class

Constructor

This server SDK leverages either a web or mobile application and requires an API credential to be assigned to that integration.

Parameters

Helper Functions

`generate_service_token`

Generate a service token, to be used when making protected API calls. Not required when calling other methods with the server SDK.

`verify_token`

Verify a JWT returned upon user authentication.

`generate_tx_auth_token`

Generates the bearer token to be used in the transaction confirmation flow, as it has a specific format slightly different from the standard service tokens. This function generates that token. If calling the create_tx method, this function does not need to be called first.

`create_tx`

Create a transaction ID. This is typically the first step of the transaction confirmation flow.

Arguments

Returns

Example

The transaction id if no error

Errors

`verify_transaction`

Verify the jwt returned in the confirmTransaction flow.

Management API Reference

`LoginIdManagement` Constructor

This server SDK can be used with a management application and requires an API credential to be assigned to that integration. All calls made from this SDK are intended to be backend-to-backend calls, as the operations are sensitive.
