Coming soon. The
prism-fastapi package is not yet published to PyPI. This page describes the planned API.Overview
The prism-fastapi package provides async middleware for FastAPI applications, leveraging Python’s modern async/await syntax for high-performance payment validation.Async/Await
Full async support with Python asyncio
Dependency Injection
Works with FastAPI’s Depends system
Type Hints
Full type hint support with Pydantic
Installation
- pip
- poetry
- requirements.txt
pip install prism-fastapi fastapi uvicorn
bash poetry add prism-fastapi fastapi uvicorn prism-fastapi>=1.0.0
fastapi>=0.100.0
uvicorn[standard]>=0.23.0
The canonical SDK config is
identify_token (PRISM_IDENTIFY_TOKEN env var) — formerly api_key / PRISM_API_KEY. SDKs accept the legacy names as fallback during the migration window; new code should use the canonical names.Quick Start
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from prism_fastapi import prism_payment_middleware, PrismMiddlewareConfig
app = FastAPI()
# Configure Prism middleware
prism_config = PrismMiddlewareConfig(
identify_token="dev-key-123",
base_url="https://prism-gw.fd.xyz",
routes={
"/api/premium": {
"price": 0.01, # $0.01 USD
"description": "Premium API"
}
}
)
# Add middleware
app.middleware("http")(prism_payment_middleware(prism_config))
# Protected endpoint
@app.get("/api/premium")
async def premium_endpoint(request: Request):
payer = request.state.prism_payer # Wallet address
return {
"message": "Premium content",
"payer": payer
}
# Run: uvicorn main:app --reload
Configuration
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Dict, Union
@dataclass
class RoutePaymentConfig:
price: Union[float, str] # USD price
description: str
mime_type: str = "application/json"
@dataclass
class PrismMiddlewareConfig:
identify_token: str
base_url: str = "https://prism-gw.fd.xyz"
debug: bool = False
routes: Dict[str, RoutePaymentConfig] = None
Route Protection
Multiple Routes
from prism_fastapi import PrismMiddlewareConfig, RoutePaymentConfig
config = PrismMiddlewareConfig(
identify_token="your-project-identify-token",
routes={
"/api/premium": RoutePaymentConfig(
price=0.01,
description="Premium API"
),
"/api/weather": RoutePaymentConfig(
price=0.001,
description="Weather data"
),
"/api/data/*": RoutePaymentConfig(
price=0.005,
description="Data API (wildcard)"
)
}
)
app.middleware("http")(prism_payment_middleware(config))
Accessing Payment Info
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
@app.get("/api/premium")
async def premium_endpoint(request: Request):
# Access payer address
payer = request.state.prism_payer
# '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb'
# Access payment object
payment = getattr(request.state, 'prism_payment', None)
if payment:
return {
"message": "Premium data",
"payer": payer,
"network": payment.get("network"),
"asset": payment.get("asset")
}
return {"message": "No payment info"}
Settlement Validation
FastAPI middleware intercepts responses to validate settlement:# Internal implementation (automatic!)
@app.middleware("http")
async def prism_payment_middleware(request: Request, call_next):
# ... payment validation ...
# Call endpoint
response = await call_next(request)
# Validate settlement
settlement_result = await core.settlement_callback(...)
if not settlement_result or not settlement_result.get("success"):
# ❌ Settlement failed
return JSONResponse(
status_code=402,
content={
"error": "Payment settlement failed",
"details": settlement_result.get("errorReason")
}
)
# ✅ Settlement succeeded
response.headers["X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE"] = settlement_result["transaction"]
return response
Dependency Injection
Payer Dependency
from fastapi import Depends, Request
def get_payer(request: Request) -> str:
return getattr(request.state, 'prism_payer', None)
@app.get("/api/premium")
async def premium_endpoint(payer: str = Depends(get_payer)):
return {
"message": "Premium content",
"payer": payer
}
Testing
import pytest
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
from main import app
client = TestClient(app)
def test_payment_required_without_header():
response = client.get("/api/premium")
assert response.status_code == 402
assert response.json()["paymentRequired"] is True
def test_access_granted_with_valid_payment():
payment = {
"scheme": "eip3009",
"signature": "0x" + "0" * 130
}
response = client.get(
"/api/premium",
headers={"X-PAYMENT": str(payment)}
)
assert response.status_code == 200
assert "payer" in response.json()
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_async_endpoint():
async with AsyncClient(app=app, base_url="http://test") as ac:
response = await ac.get("/api/premium")
assert response.status_code == 402
