An Introduction to Lamassu

Lamassu is an advanced cryptocurrency ATM system, designed to facilitate the easy buying and selling of cryptocurrencies. It provides a wide range of APIs to interact seamlessly with its functionality. Whether you are developing wallet integration, transaction tracking, or user management systems, Lamassu’s robust API offers extensive support. In this article, we’ll delve into various Lamassu APIs with practical code snippets to help you get started.

Getting Started with Lamassu API

To use Lamassu APIs, you need an API key which you can obtain from the Lamassu dashboard. Once you have the API key, you can start making requests to various endpoints.

Useful API Endpoints with Code Examples

1. Get Machine Status

This API endpoint provides the current status of a specific Lamassu machine.

 GET /api/v1/machines/{machineId}/status 

Example Code

 import requests
api_key = 'your_api_key_here' machine_id = 'your_machine_id_here' url = f'https://example.com/api/v1/machines/{machine_id}/status'
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.json()) 

2. Create a Transaction

This API endpoint allows you to create a new transaction on a Lamassu machine.

 POST /api/v1/transactions 

Example Code

 import requests
api_key = 'your_api_key_here' url = 'https://example.com/api/v1/transactions'
headers = {
  'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
  'machineId': 'your_machine_id_here',
  'amount': 0.1,
  'cryptoCurrency': 'BTC',
  'address': 'your_wallet_address_here'
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers) print(response.json()) 

3. Fetch Transaction Details

This API endpoint retrieves the details of a specific transaction.

 GET /api/v1/transactions/{transactionId} 

Example Code

 import requests
api_key = 'your_api_key_here' transaction_id = 'your_transaction_id_here' url = f'https://example.com/api/v1/transactions/{transaction_id}'
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.json()) 

Building an Application with Lamassu API

Let’s create a simple application that performs the following tasks:

• Check the status of a Lamassu machine
• Create a transaction
• Fetch transaction details

Integrated Code Example

 import requests
api_key = 'your_api_key_here' base_url = 'https://example.com/api/v1'
headers = {
  'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
# Check Machine Status machine_id = 'your_machine_id_here' url = f'{base_url}/machines/{machine_id}/status' machine_status = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json() print('Machine Status:', machine_status)
# Create a Transaction transaction_data = {
    'machineId': machine_id,
    'amount': 0.1,
    'cryptoCurrency': 'BTC',
    'address': 'your_wallet_address_here'
} url = f'{base_url}/transactions' new_transaction = requests.post(url, json=transaction_data, headers=headers).json() print('New Transaction:', new_transaction)
# Fetch Transaction Details transaction_id = new_transaction['id'] url = f'{base_url}/transactions/{transaction_id}' transaction_details = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json() print('Transaction Details:', transaction_details) 

Using these APIs, you can enhance your application to communicate with Lamassu machines and manage cryptocurrency transactions effectively.
