797125 - Bango API proof of concept

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Payments/Refunds, defect, P1)

Description

[Kumar McMillan [:kumar]]

Using Bango's Package Management API and Number API, prove out these concepts:

- Sign up a developer automatically and create a paid package/number to sell an app
- Create a package/number automatically right before making an in-app payment

Some more basic concepts were in bug 794699

looks like we may be able to move forward on this proof this week. Still waiting on Bango though.

Bango needs to do some dev work to get this set up and targeted next Friday for completing it.

Hmm, in the latest meeting Bango says we actually have access to this. I will follow up this week to see why I'm still getting access denied.

We have our very own API now :) This is a replacement for the Package/Number API. It lets us do the same thing though: create packages and number. Packages are developers and numbers are products they sell (like apps).

FYI, I've been experimenting with CreatePackage() but I keep getting "invalid parameter" for countryIso even when using values Bango tells me are valid. I'm working through it over email with them.

It looks like this in suds:

>>> from suds.client import Client
>>> client = Client('https://webservices.bango.com/mozillaexporter/?WSDL')
>>> package = client.factory.create('CreatePackageRequest')
>>> package
(CreatePackageRequest){
   username = None
   password = None
   adminEmailAddress = None
   supportEmailAddress = None
   financeEmailAddress = None
   paypalEmailAddress = None
   vendorName = None
   companyName = None
   address1 = None
   address2 = None
   addressCity = None
   addressState = None
   addressZipCode = None
   addressPhone = None
   addressFax = None
   vatNumber = None
   countryIso = None
   currencyIso = None
   homePageURL = None
   eventNotificationURL = None
 }
>>> package.username = 'Mozilla'
>>> package.password = '<ask me for this>'
>>> package.adminEmailAddress = '[e-mail]'
>>> package.supportEmailAddress = '[e-mail]'
>>> package.financeEmailAddress = '[e-mail]'
>>> package.paypalEmailAddress = '[e-mail]'
>>> package.vendorName = 'Kumar Test'
>>> package.companyName = 'Kumar Test'
>>> package.address1 = '111 Somewhere St.'
>>> package.addressCity = 'Chicago' 
>>> package.addressState = 'IL' 
>>> package.addressZipCode = '60640' 
>>> package.countryIso = 'USA' 
>>> resp = client.service.CreatePackage(package)
>>> resp
(CreatePackageResponse){
   responseCode = "INVALID_PARAMETER"
   responseMessage = "Parameter currencyIso is invalid"
   packageId = 0
   adminPersonId = 0
   supportPersonId = 0
   financePersonId = 0
 }

I was able to sit down with Bango folks and work through the Mozilla Exporter and Billing Config APIs to make some calls and sort through the errors. After fiddling we got everything to work that should allow us to set up devs to sell apps and make in-app payments. Here is a log of what I did: https://github.com/kumar303/bangotest/blob/master/api-scratchpad.txt

The first end to end tests are due Dec 15th, the dogfooding Jan 15. There hasn't been a complete end to end payment yet.
