Usage

Creating Business Application

    import os
    from unit import Unit
    from unit.models import *
    from unit.models.application import CreateBusinessApplicationRequest
    
    token = os.environ.get("token")
    api_url = os.environ.get("api_url")

    unit = Unit(api_url, token)

    request = CreateBusinessApplicationRequest(
        name="Acme Inc.",
        address=Address("1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest",
                        "Washington", "CA", "20500", "US"),
        phone=Phone("1", "9294723497"), state_of_incorporation="CA", entity_type="Corporation", ein="123456789",
        officer=Officer(full_name=FullName("Jone", "Doe"), date_of_birth=date.today() - timedelta(days=20 * 365),
                        address=Address("950 Allerton Street",
                                        "Redwood City", "CA", "94063", "US"),
                        phone=Phone("1", "2025550108"), email="[email protected]", ssn="000000005"),
        contact=BusinessContact(full_name=FullName(
            "Jone", "Doe"), email="[email protected]", phone=Phone("1", "2025550108")),
        beneficial_owners=[
            BeneficialOwner(
                FullName("James", "Smith"), date.today() -
                timedelta(days=20*365),
                Address("650 Allerton Street",
                        "Redwood City", "CA", "94063", "US"),
                Phone("1", "2025550127"), "[email protected]", ssn="574567625"),
            BeneficialOwner(FullName("Richard", "Hendricks"), date.today() - timedelta(days=20 * 365),
                            Address("470 Allerton Street",
                                    "Redwood City", "CA", "94063", "US"),
                            Phone("1", "2025550158"), "[email protected]", ssn="574572795")
        ]
    )
    
    application = unit.applications.create(request).data
    print(application.id)

Fetching a customer

    import os
    from unit import Unit

    token = os.environ.get("token")
    api_url = os.environ.get("api_url")

    unit = Unit(api_url, token)
    customer = unit.customers.list().data[0]
    print(customer.id)

Retrying API Requests

API requests can fail for many reasons, from network components failures, API rate limits, timeouts or service incidents.
Create requests without idempotency key won't trigger the retry mechanism, so we recommend to pass an idempotency key where applicable.

You can read about retries here: https://docs.unit.co/#retries.

the default amount of retries is 0.
Unit initialization with retries:

    import os
    from unit import Unit

    token = os.environ.get("token")
    api_url = os.environ.get("api_url")

    unit = Unit(api_url, token, retries=3)
