Python SDK
Install and start using the Python SDK.
Intro
The GridWindow FlexPay API SDK provides access to the GridWindow FlexPay API REST APIs.
The public driver API behind GridWindow FlexPay, plus the operator endpoints.
Flow. A driver (or an AI agent acting for one, see docs/MCP.md) reads the site, requests priced offers,
optionally asks the deal agent for a pick, then accepts one exact offer. Accepting creates a PayPal Orders v2
AUTHORIZE order and returns an approveUrl; only the human buyer can approve it in PayPal. The server then
authorizes, commits the charging slots, and later captures for delivered energy or voids. The client never sets a price
and never moves money.
Sessions. Driver identity is a signed gw_drv cookie created on the first quote. Operator endpoints need the
gw_op cookie from POST /api/operator/session. Mutating requests must come from an allowed origin (Origin header).
Money. All amounts are integer US cents. Payments are PayPal Sandbox (test money) or a labelled MOCK provider.
Installation
Add the SDK to your project from its folder, with whichever package manager your project uses. Give each tool a path containing a slash, such as ../grid-window-flex-pay-api - a bare folder name is looked up on PyPI instead, and resolves to whatever project holds that name there:
pip install <path-to-sdk>uv add <path-to-sdk>poetry add <path-to-sdk>Quick Start
Synchronous client
Construct GridWindowFlexPayApiClient with keyword arguments, and call close() when you are done. Every argument is optional.
from grid_window_flex_pay_api import GridWindowFlexPayApiClient
client = GridWindowFlexPayApiClient(operator_cookie="YOUR_API_KEY", environment="production")
client.close()Alternatively, scope it - with GridWindowFlexPayApiClient(...) as client: closes the pool on exit.
Asynchronous client
AsyncGridWindowFlexPayApiClient mirrors GridWindowFlexPayApiClient with identical method names, and every endpoint method is a coroutine. It takes the same arguments, with some differences - for example, the transport argument is custom_async_http_client.
from asyncio import run
from grid_window_flex_pay_api import AsyncGridWindowFlexPayApiClient
async def main() -> None:
client = AsyncGridWindowFlexPayApiClient(operator_cookie="YOUR_API_KEY", environment="production")
await client.aclose()
run(main())Alternatively, scope it - async with AsyncGridWindowFlexPayApiClient(...) as client: closes the pool on exit.
