ripple-federation-python

What ripple/federation-php does for Python. Provides a very simple mapping between names an Ripple addresses. Integrate into your site to receive Ripple payments at [email protected].

Usage

Using werkzeug, for example, you might do:

CORS = {"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"}

from .ripple_federation import Federation, get_ripple_txt
federation = Federation({
    'elsdoerfer.name': {'michael': 'rpLJBGZRT8D9ktgdsYv5AWYtePdyLPrEHy'},
})

@expose('/ripple.txt')
def ripple_txt(request):
    return Response(get_ripple_txt(
        domain=request.host,
        federation_url='https://{}{}'.format(
            request.host, request.urlmap.build('ripple_federation'))
        ),
        mimetype='text/plain',
        headers=CORS)


@expose('/ripple/federation')
def ripple_federation(request):
    return Response(
        json.dumps(federation.endpoint(request.args)),
        mimetype='application/json',
        headers=CORS
    )

To do more than just mapping the name to an address, you can specify callables:

def lookup_user(domain, user):
     ripple, destination_tag = findUser(domain, user)
     return {
        'destination_address': app.config['PAYMENT_ADDRESS'],
        'dt': int(user)
     }

federation = Federation({
    'elsdoerfer.name': lookup_user,
    'elsdoerfer.name': {'michael': callable_allowed_here_as_well},
})

The callable has to return a dict, which will be inserted into the result record, and may also overwrite the standard fields. In this way, you may provide any return values the Federation specification allows.
