Quickstart: use the Credicorp public API in Django

Call the API from Django

import requests
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.cache import cache

def products(request):
    data = cache.get('credicorp_products')
    if data is None:
        r = requests.get(f'{settings.CREDICORP_BASE}/products', timeout=10)
        r.raise_for_status()
        data = r.json()['data']
        cache.set('credicorp_products', data, 3600)
    return render(request, 'products.html', {'products': data})

Call the API from a view or, better, a service module, and put the base URL in `settings`. Use Django's cache framework to hold the catalogue so you are not fetching it on every page render.

Point at sandbox in development

Set the base URL to https://sandbox.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in development and CI, and to https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in production — driven by the one environment variable your framework already exposes. See choosing a base URL.

From here you can add a quote form, an enquiry submission or an embeddable product picker. Send applicants to apply to start a real journey.
