Application Example: Cryptocurrency ATM Dashboard

Integrating the above APIs, you can develop a comprehensive Cryptocurrency ATM Dashboard. Here is an example:

  
  import requests

  def authenticate_user(username, password):
      response = requests.post("https://api.lamassu.com/api/v1/authenticate",
                               json={"username": username, "password": password})
      return response.json()["token"]

  def get_machine_status(token):
      response = requests.get("https://api.lamassu.com/api/v1/machines/status",
                              headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
      return response.json()

  def create_transaction(token, machine_id, amount, currency):
      response = requests.post("https://api.lamassu.com/api/v1/transactions",
                               headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
                               json={"machine_id": machine_id, "amount": amount, "currency": currency})
      return response.json()

  def get_exchange_rates(token):
      response = requests.get("https://api.lamassu.com/api/v1/rates",
                              headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
      return response.json()

  def get_user_profile(token):
      response = requests.get("https://api.lamassu.com/api/v1/user/profile",
                              headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
      return response.json()

  # Main example
  auth_token = authenticate_user("user", "pass")

  machine_status = get_machine_status(auth_token)
  print("Machine Status:", machine_status)

  transaction = create_transaction(auth_token, "123", "0.5", "BTC")
  print("Transaction:", transaction)

  rates = get_exchange_rates(auth_token)
  print("Exchange Rates:", rates)

  user_profile = get_user_profile(auth_token)
  print("User Profile:", user_profile)
  

By leveraging these APIs, developers can create a versatile and efficient dashboard for managing Lamassu cryptocurrency ATMs.
