Simple proxy class to integrate Dutch 'postcode/huisnr' address verification in your Django application.
This is done using the postcode.nl REST-API at [https://api.postcode.nl](https://api.postcode.nl). For documentation
regarding API endpoints also check this url.

The API also provides an endpoint for information validation, enrichment and fraude risk check.

Beside this documentation, the complete documentation of this software is available at
[http://django-postcodepy-proxy.readthedocs.org](http://django-postcodepy-proxy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/?badge=latest).

Install
=========

$ pip install django-postcodepy-proxy

Quick start
-----------------

1. Add 'postcodepy_proxy' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

INSTALLED_APPS= (
...
'postcodepy_proxy',
)

2. Add the config part for the proxy::

POSTCODEPY = {
"AUTH" : {
"API_ACCESS_KEY" : "",
"API_ACCESS_SECRET" : "",
},
}

In your app ...
================

Derive a class from the *PostcodepyProxyView* class and implement your own logic like the 2 simple examples below for HTML and JSON rendering.

## Simple HTML rendering

from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here.

from postcodepy_proxy.views import PostcodepyProxyView
from postcodepy import postcodepy

class PCDemoHTMLView(PostcodepyProxyView):
template_name = "postcodeproxy.html"

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
rv = super(PCDemoHTMLView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
return render(request, self.template_name, rv)

## JSON rendering

Most likely is that you want JSON rendering for XHR-io in your application. Implement exception-handling that suits your needs.

from django.http import HttpResponse
from postcodepy.postcodepy import PostcodeError
import json

class PCDemoJSONView(PostcodepyProxyView):
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
rv = None
try:
rv = super(PCDemoJSONView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
except PostcodeError, e:
# Pass the exceptioninformation as response data
rv = e.response_data

return HttpResponse( json.dumps(rv), content_type="application/json")

## Signal Check

Use the SignalProxyView to integrate the Signal API in your application.

from postcodepy_proxy.views import SignalProxyView
from postcodepy_proxy.signalapi import SignalRequestData
from django.http import HttpResponse
from postcodepy.postcodepy import PostcodeError
import json

class PCSignalJSONView(SignalProxyView):

def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
"""
perform the Signal lookup via the API-call
"""
rv = None
try:
# Create a structure representing a valid signal-api-request,
# as specified at api.postcode.nl
sar = SignalRequestData(request.POST)()
if 'csrfmiddlewaretoken' in sar:
del sar['csrfmiddlewaretoken']
rv = super(PCSignalJSONView, self).get(request, sar=sar, **kwargs)
except PostcodeError, e:
# Pass the exceptioninformation as response data
rv = e.response_data

return HttpResponse(json.dumps(rv, indent=4), content_type="application/json")

## Route the requests

# Postcode urls
url(r'^jsonpostcode/(?P[\d]{4}[a-zA-Z]{2})/(?P[\d]+)/$', views.PCDemoJSONView.as_view()),
url(r'^jsonpostcode/(?P[\d]{4}[a-zA-Z]{2})/(?P[\d]+)/(?P[A-Za-z]+)/$', views.PCDemoJSONView.as_view()),
# Signal urls
# signal.html with some form that enables you to post the information for the request via AJAX/JSON to
# the jsonsignal url and fetch the response
url(r'^signal/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="signal.html")),
url(r'^jsonsignal/$', views.PCSignalJSONView.as_view()),
