Example: Python Mollie API v2 request (with multicurrency support)

mollie-apiv2-example.py

import urllib2
import json

MOLLIE_API_KEY = "123"

# Construct a request:
payment_data = {
    'amount': { 'currency': 'USD', 'value': '2.50'},
    'description': 'something',
    'redirectUrl': 'https://mysite.com/redirect',
    'webhookUrl': 'https://mysite.com/webhook',
    'metadata': {
        'my_key': 'some value'
    }
}

# Set opener, headers and method:
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPSHandler)
request = urllib2.Request("https://api.mollie.com/v2/payments")
request.add_header('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + MOLLIE_API_KEY)
request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
request.get_method = lambda: 'POST'
request.add_data(json.dumps(payment_data))

# Send request:
r = opener.open(request)

# Check response code and parse the JSON response:
assert r.code == 200
response = json.loads(r.read())
r.close()
