The official Python library for the Patch API.
For a complete API reference, check out Patch's API Reference..
Add the library to your requirements.txt file:
patch_api >= 1.5.0
Then run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Or install it directly with
pip install patch-api
- Python 3.6.1
After installing the gem, you'll have to initialize it with your API key which is available from the API key page in the Patch dashboard. The patch object will be used to to make calls to the Patch API:
import patch_api patch = patch_api.ApiClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SANDBOX_API_KEY')) orders = patch.orders.retrieve_orders()
import patch_api patch = patch_api.ApiClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SANDBOX_API_KEY')) # Create an order - you can create an order # providing either amount (and unit) or total_price (and currency), but not both # Create order with amount amount = 1_000_000 # Pass in the amount in unit specified unit = "g" patch.orders.create_order(amount=amount, unit=unit) # Create an order with total price total_price = 5_00 # Pass in the total price in smallest currency unit (ie cents for USD). currency = "USD" patch.orders.create_order(total_price=total_price, currency=currency) ## You can also specify a project-id field (optional) to be used instead of the preferred one project_id = 'pro_test_1234' # Pass in the project's ID patch.orders.create_order(project_id=project_id, amount=amount, unit=unit) ## Orders also accept a metadata field (optional) metadata = {"user": "john doe"} patch.orders.create_order(metadata=metadata, amount=amount, unit=unit) ## Orders also accept a metadata field (optional) metadata = {"user": "john doe"} patch.orders.create_order(metadata=metadata, amount=amount, unit=unit) ## Orders also accept an issued_to field (optional) issued_to = {"name": "Company A", "email": "envimpact@companya.com"} patch.orders.create_order(issued_to=issued_to, amount=amount, unit=unit) # Retrieve an order order_id = 'ord_test_1234' # Pass in the order's id patch.orders.retrieve_order(id=order_id) # Place an order order_id = 'ord_test_1234' # Pass in the order's id patch.orders.place_order(id=order_id) ## Placing an order on behalf of another party issued_to = {"name": "Company A", "email": "envimpact@companya.com"} patch.orders.place_order(id=order_id, issued_to=issued_to) # Cancel an order order_id = 'ord_test_1234' # Pass in the order's id patch.orders.cancel_order(id=order_id) # Retrieve a list of orders page = 1 # Pass in which page of orders you'd like patch.orders.retrieve_orders(page=page)
Estimates allow API users to get a quote for the cost of compensating a certain amount of CO2. When creating an estimate, an order in the draft state will also be created, reserving the allocation of a project for 5 minutes. If you don't place your draft order within those 5 minutes, the order will automatically be cancelled.
import patch_api patch = patch_api.ApiClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SANDBOX_API_KEY')) # Create an estimate mass_g = 1_000_000 # Pass in the mass in grams (i.e. 1 metric tonne) patch.estimates.create_mass_estimate(mass_g=mass_g) ## You can also specify a project-id field (optional) to be used instead of the preferred one project_id = 'pro_test_1234' # Pass in the project's ID patch.estimates.create_mass_estimate(mass_g=mass_g, project_id=project_id) # Create a bitcoin estimate transaction_value_btc_sats = 1000 # [Optional] Pass in the transaction value in satoshis patch.estimates.create_bitcoin_estimate(transaction_value_btc_sats=transaction_value_btc_sats) # Retrieve an estimate estimate_id = 'est_test_1234' patch.estimates.retrieve_estimate(id=estimate_id) # Retrieve a list of estimates page = 1 # Pass in which page of estimates you'd like patch.estimates.retrieve_estimates(page=page)

Projects are the ways Patch takes CO2 out of the air. They can represent reforestation, enhanced weathering, direct air carbon capture, etc. When you place an order via Patch, it is allocated to a project.
When fetching projects, you can supply filters to the query to narrow your result. Currently supported filters are:
countrytypeminimum_available_mass
import patch_api patch = patch_api.ApiClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SANDBOX_API_KEY')) # Retrieve a project project_id = 'pro_test_1234' # Pass in the project's ID patch.projects.retrieve_project(id=project_id) # Retrieve a list of projects page = 1 # Pass in which page of projects you'd like patch.projects.retrieve_projects(page=page) # Retrieve a list of biomass projects patch.projects.retrieve_projects(type="biomass") # Retrieve a list of projects from Canada patch.projects.retrieve_projects(country="CA") # Retrieve a list of projects with at least 100 grams of available offsets patch.projects.retrieve_projects(minimum_available_mass=100) # Retrieve a project / all projects in a different language # See http://docs.patch.test:3000/#/internationalization for more information and support patch.projects.retrieve_projects(accept_language='fr') project_id = 'pro_test_1234' patch.projects.retrieve_project(id=project_id, accept_language='fr')
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, the core of this library is generated programmatically. Complex additions made directly to the library would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!
On the other hand, contributions to the README, as well as new test cases are always very welcome!
This project uses pre-commit to automatically lint code on commit. Set-up lint commit the first time around using
pre-commit install
This project uses black for code formatting. To run the automatic formatting, run:
make lint
Set up the required environment variable:
export SANDBOX_API_KEY=<SANDBOX API KEY>
Run tests:
make testTo run an individual test:
python -m unittest test/xxx_test.py
To build the library locally, run:
make build
In another directory, create a file called patch.py and install the local package in this directory:
touch patch.py pip install ../patch-python
Set up the required environment variable:
export SANDBOX_API_KEY=<SANDBOX API KEY>
To test the package locally, create a python file in a sibling directory and add the following:
import os import patch_api patch = patch_api.ApiClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SANDBOX_API_KEY')) orders = patch.orders.retrieve_orders(page=1) print(orders)
