Releases: bitpay/python-bitpay-client
6.0.2
Overview
This is a patch release that addresses a type issue with satoshisPerByte
where it was defined as an int
but is coming back from the API as a float
. We've also updated the examples to remove .value
on the facade as it's not necessary.
What's Changed
- Fix satoshisPerByte
- Remove '.value' from examples
Full Changelog: 6.0.1...6.0.2
6.0.1
Overview
This is a patch release that fixes a small issue to allows a POS client to be created with either create_client()
or create_pos_client()
. Currently, passing in a config to create_client() will work, but this PR makes it easier to use create_pos_client() directly by passing a POS token.

- Get cryptocurrency / fiat currency pair rates
- Wallets (Public Facade)
- Get supported wallets
⚠️ More Consistent Exceptions
We have removed the old exception classes that added a tremendous amount of duplication across the SDK in favor of parsing the errors from the API. This makes the SDK less opinionated and relies on the API to inform consumers what happened, providing more consistency between the SDK and API. The result is that response messages and codes in exceptions thrown by the SDK will be 1:1 with API.
⚠️ Better Integration with Custom Loggers
You can now use your own logging framework using the new logger provider, giving more control over how logs are handled.
⚠️ General Improvements
- Updated dependencies
- Updated field types where they were misaligned with the API
- Added fields to the SDK that were missing
- Removed fields that are no longer in the API

4.0.0
Overview
We were releasing our next major version of the Python SDK - version 4.0.0.
Highlights
Client Class Breakdown
To make this easier to work on and more testable, we have:
- Implemented a facade for the client
- Created a class to handle generic REST GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE
- Created separate classes for each resource, providing a better representation of the API
- Add unit and integration tests for new client classes
Implement POS Facade
Prior to version 4.0.0, we had two separate SDKs, the "Light" SDK, which could only use the POS facade, and the "Full" SDK, which used the merchant and payout facades. This created the need for additional effort both in maintaining and implementing the SDK.
As of version 4.0.0, the SDK supports both methods. You can use just the POS facade, which is limited in feature set but does not require signed requests (no private key to manage) or with the merchant/payout facade, which has more functionality but is more complex to implement.
This provides an easier upgrade path and reduces the duplicate work of maintaining two separate SDKs regarding dependency upgrades, bug fixes, etc.
Standardization
We've are implementing PEP 8 across the entire SDK and are using Black to check every commit.
Test Suites
We have implemented functional and unit test suites to the API, and the unit tests run in GitHub Actions for all commits and pull requests.
Other Notes
- Black, Mypy, and unit tests run on Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 in the pipeline
- The SDK is now at parity with the API
