BlockBee's Django Library

Django's implementation of BlockBee's payment gateway

Requirements:

Python >= 3.0
Django >= 2.0
Requests >= 2.20

Install

pip install django-blockbee

on pypi or on GitHub

Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'blockbee',
    ...
)

Run migrations:

python3 manage.py migrate blockbee

Collect static files:

python3 manage.py collectstatic

Add BlockBee's URLs to your project's urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [
    path('blockbee/', include('blockbee.urls')),
    ...
]

Configuration

After the installation you need to set up Providers for each coin you wish to accept.

You need to go into your Django Admin and create a new BlockBee Provider for each coin with your cold wallet address where the funds will be forwarded to.

Usage

Creating an Invoice

In your order creation view, assuming user_order is your order object:

  • If you want the address generated:
from blockbee import Invoice

...


def order_creation_view(request):
    ...
    invoice = Invoice(
        request=request,
        order_id=user_order.id,
        coin='btc',
        value=user_order.value
    )

    payment_address = invoice.address()

    if payment_address is not None:
        # Show the payment address to the user
        ...
    else:
# Handle request error, check RequestLogs on Admin
  • If you want the blockbee.models.Request object:
from blockbee import Invoice

...


def order_creation_view(request):
    ...
    invoice = Invoice(
        request=request,  # This if your view request. It's meant to create the callback URL
        order_id=user_order.id,
        coin='btc',
        value=user_order.value
    )

    payment_request = invoice.request()

    if payment_request is not None:
        # Show the payment address to the user
        ...
    else:
# Handle request error, check RequestLogs on Admin

Where:

request is Django's view HttpRequest object

order_id is just your order id

coin is the ticker of the coin you wish to use, any of our supported coins (https://blockbee.io/cryptocurrencies/). You need to have a Provider set up for that coin.

value is an integer of the value of your order

apikey is the API Key that you got from your BlockBee Dashboard

 

Getting notified when the user pays

from django.dispatch import receiver
from blockbee.signals import payment_complete


@receiver(payment_complete)
def payment_received(order_id, payment, value):
    # Implement your logic to mark the order as paid and release the goods to the user
    ...

Where:

order_id is the id of the order that you provided earlier, used to fetch your order
payment is an blockbee.models.Payment object with the payment details, such as TXID, number of confirmations, etc.
value is the value the user paid

Important:

Don't forget to import your signals file.

On your App's apps.py file:

class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
   name = 'MyApp'
   
   def ready(self):
       super(MyAppConfig, self).ready()

       # noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
       import MyApp.signals

django docs

Using our provided interface

Create a view in views.py

def payment(_r, request_id):
    try:
        req = Request.objects.get(id=request_id)
        coin = req.provider.coin

        qrcode = get_qrcode(coin, req.address_in)

        fiat = get_conversion(coin, 'eur', req.value_requested)

        print(fiat)

        ctx = {
            'req': req,
            'qrcode': qrcode,
            'fiat': fiat['value_coin']
        }

        return render(_r, 'payment.html', context=ctx)

    except Request.DoesNotExist:
        pass

    return redirect('store:request')

In your template HTML

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load blockbee_helper %}
{% block content %}
    {% generate_payment_template %}
{% endblock %}

 

Helpers

This library has a couple of helpers to help you get started. They are present in the file utils.py.

blockbee.valid_providers() is a method that returns a list of tuples of the active providers that you can just feed into the choices of a form.ChoiceField

blockbee.get_order_invoices(order_id) returns a list of blockbee.models.Request objects of your order (you can have multiple objects for the same order if the user mistakenly initiated the payment with another coin or if he mistakenly didn't send the full payment)

blockbee.callback_url(_r, params) build your callback URL to provide to get_request. Should be used inside a view since _r = request

 

BlockBee Helper

This is the helper responsible for the connections ot the API itself. All these functions are in the blockbee.py file.

get_info(coin) returns the information of all cryptocurrencies or just if coin='' or a specific cryptocurrency if coin='ltc' for example. docs

get_supported_coins() returns all the support cryptocurrencies. You can consult them in this list.

get_logs(coin, callback_url) returns all the callback logs related to a request. callback_url should be the callback provided to our API. docs

get_qrcode(coin, address, value, size) returns a PNG of a QR Code with the address for payment. docs

get_conversion(origin, to, value) returns the converted value in the parameter value_coin to the currency you wish, FIAT or Cryptocurrency.

get_estimate(coin) returns the estimation of the blockchain fees for the cryptocurrency specified in the parameter coin. E.g: get_estimate('trc20_usdt') docs

get_address(coin, params) requests a payment address to BlockBee. Params include all the parameters that can be found here. The parameter apikey is mandatory.

 

How to use the QR code (with address, coin and value)

To generate a QR Code you must use get_qrcode in your view and feed the parameters to your template. To generate a QR Code image you must place content of the API response after data:image/png;base64,{{qr_code}} so the browser generates the QR Code.

<img src="data:image/png;base64,{{ qrcode.qr_code }}" alt="Payment QR Code"/>

You can also make the QR Code clickable.

<a href='{{ qrcode.payment_uri }}'>
    <img src="data:image/png;base64,{{ qrcode.qr_code }}" alt="Payment QR Code"/>
</a>

You can also add a value to the QR Code setting the value parameter to the value of your order (e.g 0.2 LTC). This may not function correctly in some wallets. Use at your own risk.

What is the Store application?

We made the store application to provide you with code examples on how to implement our service. It also has the code for our suggested UI (both CSS and HTML).
