# Mercado Pago SDK for Python
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mercadopago)
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mercadopago)
[](https://github.com/mercadopago/sdk-python)
This library provides developers with a simple set of bindings to help you integrate Mercado Pago API to a website and start receiving payments.
## 💡 Requirements
Python 3 or higher.
## 📲 Installation
Run ```pip3 install mercadopago```
## 🌟 Getting Started
First time using Mercado Pago? Create your [Mercado Pago account](https://www.mercadopago.com).
Copy your `Access Token` in the [credentials panel](https://www.mercadopago.com/developers/panel/credentials) and replace the text `YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN` with it.
### Simple usage
```python
import mercadopago
sdk = mercadopago.SDK("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN")
request_options = mercadopago.config.RequestOptions()
request_options.custom_headers = {
'x-idempotency-key': ''
}
payment_data = {
"transaction_amount": 100,
"token": "CARD_TOKEN",
"description": "Payment description",
"payment_method_id": 'visa',
"installments": 1,
"payer": {
"email": '[email protected]'
}
}
result = sdk.payment().create(payment_data, request_options)
payment = result["response"]
print(payment)
```
### Per-request configuration
All methods that make API calls accept an optional `RequestOptions` object. This can be used to configure some special options of the request, such as changing credentials or custom headers.
```python
import mercadopago
from mercadopago.config import RequestOptions
request_options = RequestOptions(access_token='YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN')
# ...
result = sdk.payment().create(payment_data, request_options)
payment = result["response"]
```
