CData Python Connector for Authorize.net

Build 24.0.9060

Establishing a Connection

The objects available within our connector are accessible from the "cdata.authorizenet" module. To use the module's objects directly:

  1. Import the module as follows:
    import cdata.authorizenet as mod
  2. To establish a connection string, call the connect() method from the connector object using an appropriate connection string, such as:
    mod.connect("LoginID=myLoginID;TransactionKey=myTransactionKey")

Connecting to Authorize.net

Before you connect, log into your Merchant account and navigate to Account > Settings. Your account Security Settings section displays the LoginID and TransactionKey.

Now set the following to connect:

  • LoginID: The API login Id associated with your payment gateway account. (Note: This value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.)
  • TransactionKey: The transaction key associated with your payment gateway account.
  • UseSandbox: Set to false by default, for use with a production account. If you are using a developer test account, set UseSandbox to true.
