Step by Step Guide to Building a Hotmart API Integration in Python

Introduction

Hey there, fellow developer! Ready to dive into the world of Hotmart API integration? You're in for a treat. This guide will walk you through the process of building a robust Hotmart API integration using Python. We'll cover everything from authentication to webhooks, so buckle up!

Prerequisites

Before we jump in, make sure you've got these basics covered:

• A Python environment (3.7+ recommended)
• requests and json libraries installed
• Your Hotmart API credentials (if you don't have them, grab them from your Hotmart dashboard)

Authentication

First things first, let's get you authenticated:

import requests

def get_access_token(client_id, client_secret):
    url = "https://api-sec-vlc.hotmart.com/security/oauth/token"
    payload = {
        "grant_type": "client_credentials",
        "client_id": client_id,
        "client_secret": client_secret
    }
    response = requests.post(url, data=payload)
    return response.json()["access_token"]

access_token = get_access_token("your_client_id", "your_client_secret")

Pro tip: Don't forget to handle token expiration and refresh. Your future self will thank you!

Basic API Requests

Now that we're authenticated, let's make some requests:

def make_get_request(endpoint):
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"}
    response = requests.get(f"https://developers.hotmart.com/payments/api/v1/{endpoint}", headers=headers)
    return response.json()

# Example: Get all products
products = make_get_request("products")

For POST requests, it's just as easy:

def make_post_request(endpoint, data):
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
    response = requests.post(f"https://developers.hotmart.com/payments/api/v1/{endpoint}", headers=headers, json=data)
    return response.json()

# Example: Create a new product
new_product = make_post_request("products", {"name": "Awesome Course", "price": 99.99})

Remember to always handle errors gracefully. Your users will appreciate it!

Key Endpoints and Functionalities

Hotmart's API is packed with useful endpoints. Here are some you'll likely use often:

• Products: /products
• Sales: /sales
• Subscriptions: /subscriptions
• Affiliates: /affiliates

Explore these endpoints and see what data you can retrieve or manipulate. The possibilities are endless!

Webhook Integration

Webhooks are your friend for real-time updates. Here's a basic Flask app to handle webhooks:

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    event = request.json
    # Process the event
    print(f"Received event: {event['event_type']}")
    return "", 200

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000)

Remember to set up your webhook URL in your Hotmart dashboard!

Data Processing and Storage

Once you've got your data, you'll want to do something with it. Here's a quick example using SQLite:

import sqlite3

def store_product(product):
    conn = sqlite3.connect('hotmart.db')
    c = conn.cursor()
    c.execute('''INSERT INTO products (id, name, price) VALUES (?, ?, ?)''',
              (product['id'], product['name'], product['price']))
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

# Usage
products = make_get_request("products")
for product in products:
    store_product(product)

Advanced Features

Don't forget about pagination and rate limiting. Here's a quick pagination example:

def get_all_products():
    all_products = []
    page = 1
    while True:
        products = make_get_request(f"products?page={page}")
        if not products:
            break
        all_products.extend(products)
        page += 1
    return all_products

Testing and Debugging

Always test your code! Here's a simple unit test example:

import unittest

class TestHotmartAPI(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_get_access_token(self):
        token = get_access_token("test_id", "test_secret")
        self.assertIsNotNone(token)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Conclusion

And there you have it! You're now equipped to build a solid Hotmart API integration. Remember to always refer to the official Hotmart API documentation for the most up-to-date information.

Keep coding, keep learning, and most importantly, have fun with it!
