> ## Agent Instructions
> HEVN has two products and they authorize money differently. Self-serve (the General tab): the person who owns the email holds the only key and signs for themselves. Whitelabel (the Whitelabel and REST API tabs): the integrator's backend holds a developer key, signs on behalf of client accounts it created, and HEVN co-signs. Never mix the two models in an answer.
> Use HEVN's terms exactly. A rail is a bank route a client can request. A virtual account (bnk_) is an opened rail. Account details are what a payer needs in order to wire money, and arrive in a field named requisites. A client is an account the integrator created; the business behind it is the integrator's customer. A contact is a saved destination; a beneficiary is the party at the far end of a fiat payout. Every departure of money is a payout, to a bank account or to a wallet alike.
> Never name a banking partner. Say 'a licensed banking partner'.
> There are no published fee rates, spreads or minimums. Prices come from a quote on a specific payment; direct pricing questions to HEVN rather than inventing numbers.
> The whitelabel API is at /dapi/v1 and takes a developer-key session plus an X-Hevn-Account header. The CLI uses an app API key in X-Api-Key. They are different credentials and neither works on the other surface.
# HTTP client
> The whole client — key loading, login, acting as a client, signing, retries and polling — in Python, Node and Go.
Every example in these guides calls the same small client. This page is that client, in Python, Node
and Go. Copy it once and each guide fits in three to eight lines.
## The surface every guide assumes
| What you want | Python | Node | Go |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Act for a client, or for yourself | `hevn.acting_as(client_id)` | `hevn.actingAs(clientId)` | `api.ActingAs(clientID)` |
| Read | `hevn.get(path, params={…})` | `hevn.get(path, {…})` | `api.Get(path, hevn.Query{…})` |
| Write | `hevn.post(path, body, idempotency_key="…")` | `hevn.post(path, body, { idempotencyKey })` | `api.Post(path, hevn.Body{…}, hevn.IdempotencyKey("…"))` |
| Read a response field | `payout["approval"]["payload"]` | `payout.approval.payload` | `payout.Str("approval.payload")` |
| Walk a response list | `page["items"]` | `page.items` | `page.List("items")` |
| Sign an approval | `key.sign_payload(b64)` | `key.signPayload(b64)` | `key.SignPayload(b64)` |
| Name the signing key | `key.public_key` | `key.publicKey` | `key.PublicKey` |
| Confirm to settlement | `hevn.confirm_until_settled(path, sig)` | `hevn.confirmUntilSettled(path, sig)` | `api.ConfirmUntilSettled(path, sig)` |
| Poll a read | `poll_until(read, done)` | `pollUntil(read, done)` | `hevn.PollUntil(read, done, deadline)` |
| Download an export | `hevn.download(path, params, into)` | `hevn.download(path, params, into)` | `api.Download(path, hevn.Query{…}, into)` |
It reads three environment variables — `HEVN_API`, `HEVN_KEY_PEM` and `HEVN_EMAIL` — set up in the
[Quickstart](/whitelabel/quickstart). Nothing below hardcodes a host. `HEVN_API` ends in `/dapi/v1`
(`https://sandbox-api.hevn.finance/dapi/v1`); the old `/v1` base answers `404` rather than redirecting, so a helper
that asserts the suffix at start-up turns a whole run of mystery `404`s into one clear failure.
In the Go tabs the client is a variable called `api` and `hevn` is the package: `api.Post(…)` is a
call on your client, `hevn.Body{…}` is a type from the package. Naming the variable `hevn` shadows
the package and stops the file compiling.
## Binding an account
`acting_as` is the only thing that sets `X-Hevn-Account`, and three kinds of route read it differently:
| Routes | The header |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/banks*`, `/payins*`, `/payouts*`, `/contacts*`, `/transactions*`, `/documents*`, `/sandbox/*` | optional — bound client, or your own account when unbound |
| `/client`, `/client/balance`, `/client/kyb`, `/client/kyb/complete` | **required** — the header is the only selector |
| `POST /clients`, `GET /clients`, every `/escrow*` | refused — `400 account_scope_conflict` |
The middle row is the one that changes how you use the client. There is no client id in any path any more, so reading
**your own** account means binding your own `cl_…` too — the `userId` the login answered:
```python Python theme={null}
me = hevn.acting_as(os.environ["HEVN_USER_ID"]) # the userId login answered
mine = me.get("/client/balance")
```
```javascript Node theme={null}
const me = hevn.actingAs(process.env.HEVN_USER_ID); // the userId login answered
const mine = await me.get("/client/balance");
```
```go Go theme={null}
me := api.ActingAs(os.Getenv("HEVN_USER_ID")) // the userId login answered
mine, err := me.Get("/client/balance")
```
An unbound client calling `/client*` sends no header at all, which is a `422 validation_failed` with
`details.location: "header"` and `X-Hevn-Account` in `details.fields` — not a read of your own account. A bound client
calling `POST /clients` or any escrow route is the mirror image, `400 account_scope_conflict` with
`details.reason: "selfScopedRoute"`, so keep the unbound client for those.
## Install
```bash Python theme={null}
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install cryptography httpx
```
```bash Node theme={null}
# Node 20 or newer. Signing and HTTP use node:crypto and global fetch.
node --version
npm init --yes
```
```bash Go theme={null}
go mod init example.com/hevn
# Signing and HTTP use the standard library only: crypto/ecdsa, encoding/pem, net/http.
```
## Load the developer key
The private half comes from `HEVN_KEY_PEM` and never leaves the process.
```python Python theme={null}
import base64, os
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import serialization
def load_key():
with open(os.environ["HEVN_KEY_PEM"], "rb") as handle:
return serialization.load_pem_private_key(handle.read(), password=None)
def public_key_b64(key) -> str:
spki = key.public_key().public_bytes(
serialization.Encoding.DER,
serialization.PublicFormat.SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
)
return base64.b64encode(spki).decode()
```
```javascript Node theme={null}
import { createPrivateKey, createPublicKey } from "node:crypto";
import { readFileSync } from "node:fs";
export function loadKey() {
return createPrivateKey(readFileSync(process.env.HEVN_KEY_PEM));
}
export function publicKeyB64(key) {
return createPublicKey(key).export({ type: "spki", format: "der" }).toString("base64");
}
```
```go Go theme={null}
func LoadKey() (*ecdsa.PrivateKey, error) {
armored, err := os.ReadFile(os.Getenv("HEVN_KEY_PEM"))
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
block, _ := pem.Decode(armored)
parsed, err := x509.ParsePKCS8PrivateKey(block.Bytes)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
key, ok := parsed.(*ecdsa.PrivateKey)
if !ok {
return nil, errors.New("hevn: not a P-256 key")
}
return key, nil
}
func PublicKeyB64(key *ecdsa.PrivateKey) (string, error) {
spki, err := x509.MarshalPKIXPublicKey(&key.PublicKey)
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(spki), nil
}
```
## Sign bytes
Two functions, used by login and by every payment: ECDSA P-256 over SHA-256, DER-encoded, base64
out. [Signing](/whitelabel/signing#signature-format) is why each rule is there.
```python Python theme={null}
import base64
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ec
def sign_bytes(key, message: bytes) -> str:
"""base64(DER ECDSA P-256 / SHA-256) over exactly these bytes."""
return base64.b64encode(key.sign(message, ec.ECDSA(hashes.SHA256()))).decode()
def sign_payload(key, payload_b64: str) -> str:
return sign_bytes(key, base64.b64decode(payload_b64))
```
```javascript Node theme={null}
import { sign } from "node:crypto";
export function signBytes(key, message) {
return sign("sha256", message, { key, dsaEncoding: "der" }).toString("base64");
}
export function signPayload(key, payloadB64) {
return signBytes(key, Buffer.from(payloadB64, "base64"));
}
```
```go Go theme={null}
func SignBytes(key *ecdsa.PrivateKey, message []byte) (string, error) {
digest := sha256.Sum256(message)
der, err := ecdsa.SignASN1(rand.Reader, key, digest[:])
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(der), nil
}
func SignPayload(key *ecdsa.PrivateKey, payloadB64 string) (string, error) {
message, err := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(payloadB64)
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return SignBytes(key, message)
}
```
## Wrap the key
The guides call `key.sign_payload(...)` and read `key.public_key`. That is these two functions
bound to one loaded key.
```python Python theme={null}
class Key:
def __init__(self):
self.raw = load_key() # the loaded key login() takes
self.public_key = public_key_b64(self.raw)
def sign_bytes(self, message: bytes) -> str:
return sign_bytes(self.raw, message)
def sign_payload(self, payload_b64: str) -> str:
return sign_payload(self.raw, payload_b64)
```
```javascript Node theme={null}
export class Key {
constructor() {
this.raw = loadKey(); // the loaded key login() takes
this.publicKey = publicKeyB64(this.raw);
}
signBytes(message) {
return signBytes(this.raw, message);
}
signPayload(payloadB64) {
return signPayload(this.raw, payloadB64);
}
}
```
```go Go theme={null}
type Key struct {
raw *ecdsa.PrivateKey // the loaded key Login() takes
PublicKey string
}
func NewKey() (*Key, error) {
key, err := LoadKey()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
public, err := PublicKeyB64(key)
return &Key{raw: key, PublicKey: public}, err
}
func (k *Key) SignBytes(message []byte) (string, error) { return SignBytes(k.raw, message) }
func (k *Key) SignPayload(payloadB64 string) (string, error) {
return SignPayload(k.raw, payloadB64)
}
```
## Log in
Two calls, two signatures. The result is an access token good for an hour and a refresh token good
for sixty days — see [Sessions](/whitelabel/sessions).
```python Python theme={null}
import os, secrets, time, httpx
def login(key) -> dict:
api, email = os.environ["HEVN_API"], os.environ["HEVN_EMAIL"]
nonce = secrets.randbits(48)
expiry = int(time.time() * 1000) + 120_000
proof = f"hevn-developer-key-login:{email}:{nonce}:{expiry}".encode()
started = httpx.post(f"{api}/auth/challenge", json={
"email": email,
"publicKey": public_key_b64(key),
"nonce": nonce,
"requestExpiry": expiry,
"signature": sign_bytes(key, proof),
})
started.raise_for_status()
challenge = started.json()
minted = httpx.post(f"{api}/auth/token", json={
"challengeId": challenge["challengeId"],
"signature": sign_payload(key, challenge["payload"]),
})
minted.raise_for_status()
return minted.json() # accessToken, refreshToken, expiresIn, userId
```
```javascript Node theme={null}
export async function login(key) {
const api = process.env.HEVN_API;
const email = process.env.HEVN_EMAIL;
const nonce = Number(process.hrtime.bigint() % 281474976710656n);
const expiry = Date.now() + 120_000;
const proof = Buffer.from(`hevn-developer-key-login:${email}:${nonce}:${expiry}`);
const post = async (path, body) => {
const response = await fetch(`${api}${path}`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify(body),
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`${path} ${response.status} ${await response.text()}`);
return response.json();
};
const challenge = await post("/auth/challenge", {
email,
publicKey: publicKeyB64(key),
nonce,
requestExpiry: expiry,
signature: signBytes(key, proof),
});
return post("/auth/token", {
challengeId: challenge.challengeId,
signature: signPayload(key, challenge.payload),
});
}
```
```go Go theme={null}
func Login(key *ecdsa.PrivateKey) (Tokens, error) {
api, email := os.Getenv("HEVN_API"), os.Getenv("HEVN_EMAIL")
nonce := rand.Int63n(1 << 48)
expiry := time.Now().Add(2 * time.Minute).UnixMilli()
proof := fmt.Sprintf("hevn-developer-key-login:%s:%d:%d", email, nonce, expiry)
proofSignature, err := SignBytes(key, []byte(proof))
if err != nil {
return Tokens{}, err
}
publicKey, err := PublicKeyB64(key)
if err != nil {
return Tokens{}, err
}
var challenge struct{ ChallengeID, Payload string }
if err := PostJSON(api+"/auth/challenge", map[string]any{
"email": email, "publicKey": publicKey, "nonce": nonce,
"requestExpiry": expiry, "signature": proofSignature,
}, &challenge); err != nil {
return Tokens{}, err
}
payloadSignature, err := SignPayload(key, challenge.Payload)
if err != nil {
return Tokens{}, err
}
var tokens Tokens
err = PostJSON(api+"/auth/token", map[string]any{
"challengeId": challenge.ChallengeID, "signature": payloadSignature,
}, &tokens)
return tokens, err
}
```
## Hold the session
One object owns the tokens and re-mints the access token on demand, so the request layer below never
thinks about expiry.
```python Python theme={null}
class Session:
def __init__(self, key):
self.key = key
self._tokens, self._expires_at = None, 0.0
def token(self, refresh: bool = False) -> str:
if refresh or self._tokens is None or time.time() > self._expires_at - 60:
self._tokens = login(self.key.raw) if self._tokens is None else self._refresh()
self._expires_at = time.time() + self._tokens["expiresIn"]
return self._tokens["accessToken"]
def _refresh(self) -> dict:
response = httpx.post(
f"{os.environ['HEVN_API']}/auth/refresh",
json={},
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {self._tokens['refreshToken']}"},
)
response.raise_for_status()
return {**self._tokens, **response.json()}
```
```javascript Node theme={null}
export class Session {
constructor(key) {
this.key = key;
this.tokens = null;
this.expiresAt = 0;
}
async token(refresh = false) {
if (refresh || !this.tokens || Date.now() > this.expiresAt - 60_000) {
this.tokens = this.tokens ? await this.refresh() : await login(this.key.raw);
this.expiresAt = Date.now() + this.tokens.expiresIn * 1000;
}
return this.tokens.accessToken;
}
async refresh() {
const response = await fetch(`${process.env.HEVN_API}/auth/refresh`, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
authorization: `Bearer ${this.tokens.refreshToken}`,
"content-type": "application/json",
},
body: "{}",
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`refresh ${response.status}`);
return { ...this.tokens, ...(await response.json()) };
}
}
```
```go Go theme={null}

// omits refreshToken, so the zero value keeps the one you already hold.
type Tokens struct {

}

minted.RefreshToken = s.tokens.RefreshToken // the refresh call does not re-issue it
return minted, err
}
// PostJSON POSTs a JSON body and decodes the answer; opts set headers such as

}
```
## Send a request
One place turns the [error envelope](/whitelabel/reference/errors) into a typed error, honours
`Retry-After` on a `429`, re-mints once on a `401`, and adds `X-Hevn-Account` when the client is
bound.
```python Python theme={null}

## Download an export
`GET /dapi/v1/transactions/export` streams a file rather than JSON, so it gets its own method: same
headers, same typed error, bytes to disk instead of a parsed body.
```python Python theme={null}
def download(self, path, params, into):
"""A method on Hevn. An export streams a file; every other route answers JSON."""
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {self.session.token()}"}
if self.client_id:

with self.http.stream("GET", path, params=params, headers=headers) as response:
if response.status_code >= 400:
response.read()
raise HevnError(response.status_code, response.json())
with open(into, "wb") as file:
for chunk in response.iter_bytes():
file.write(chunk)
return into
```
```javascript Node theme={null}

## Confirm until it settles
The whole [retry policy](/whitelabel/signing#retrying-a-confirm) as one method: `already_funded` is
success, `funding_attempt_expired` means re-open, a `202` and the bundler codes mean confirm again,
anything else propagates.
```python Python theme={null}

"""A method on Hevn. confirm_path is "/payouts/po_…/confirm" or an escrow action's confirm."""
started, delay = time.monotonic(), 1.0
while True:
try:
receipt = self.post(confirm_path, {"signature": signature})
if receipt["status"] != "submitted":
return receipt
reason = "submitted"

## Poll a read
Client provisioning, KYB review, rail activation and payin settlement all end in a read that
changes on someone else's clock.
```python Python theme={null}

while True:
value = read()
if done(value):
return value
if time.monotonic() - started > deadline:
raise TimeoutError(f"still {value.get('status')} after {deadline:.0f}s")
time.sleep(delay + random.uniform(0, delay / 2))
delay = min(delay * 2, cap)
```
```javascript Node theme={null}

for (;;) {
const value = await read();
if (done(value)) return value;
if (Date.now() > until) throw new Error(`still ${value.status} after ${deadline}ms`);
await new Promise((wake) => setTimeout(wake, delay + Math.random() * (delay / 2)));
delay = Math.min(delay * 2, cap);
}
}
```
