Configuration

To make API calls, you need to create an API key first. If you also want to handle webhook requests, you need to create a webhook secret too. See the section below for tips on how to generate the webhook secret. Once you have these, you can configure them in e.g. your runtime.exs like this:

import Config

config :lemon_ex,
  api_key: System.get_env("LEMONSQUEEZY_API_KEY"),
  webhook_secret: System.get_env("LEMONSQUEEZY_WEBHOOK_SECRET"),
  # (Optional) You can provide HTTPoison options which are added to every request.
  # See all options here: https://hexdocs.pm/httpoison/HTTPoison.Request.html#content
  request_options: [timeout: 10_000]

Alternatively, you can also pass the api_key as an option when you make a request, like this:

LemonEx.UsageRecords.list([], [api_key: "your-api-key"])

If you don't provide a valid API key, you will receive 401: Unauthorized error responses.

Making Requests

Every LemonSqueezy object has its own context. The contexts implement basic CRUD endpoints where available. Every CRUD endpoint returns either the object as a struct (e.g. LemonEx.Variants.Variant) or a PaginatedResponse. For example, the variant object has the context LemonEx.Variants which implements a get/1 and list/1 function. You can simply call these functions like so:

iex> LemonEx.Variants.get(variant_id)
{:ok, %LemonEx.Variants.Variant{}}

iex> LemonEx.Variants.list()
{:ok, %LemonEx.PaginatedResponse{data: [%LemonEx.Variants.Variant{}]}}

You can find all defined objects in the LemonSqueezy API docs.

Handling Webhook Events

To handle Webhook Events coming from LemonSqueezy, you first have to set up a webhook. You can generate a webhook secret with:

# Generate a webhook signing secret with - by default - 40 characters:
iex> LemonEx.Webhooks.gen_signing_secret()
"ppeSr0unsIMx9ynlilgi0PrekwizK46PjVH/Pi2g"

# Generate a webhook signing secret of 8 characters
iex> LemonEx.Webhooks.gen_signing_secret(8)
"g1NZjc9h"

# Use the generator logic directly, with:
iex> 40 |> :crypto.strong_rand_bytes() |> Base.encode64() |> binary_part(0, 40)
"QgxcfhK39h7PJrfkQkvJ4D2rhwNrfQ1yadjb996q"

Once you set up your webhook, you need to create a module that will handle the events. Like this for example:

defmodule MyAppWeb.MyWebhookHandler do
  @behaviour LemonEx.Webhooks.Handler

  @impl true
  def handle_event(%LemonEx.Webhooks.Event{name: "order_created"} = event) do
  # The event.meta holds all provided meta-data, also custom_data.
    %{"customer_id" => customer_id} = event.meta["custom_data"]

    # The event.data holds the object of the event, like e.g. an `LemonEx.Orders.Order{}`.
    new_order = event.data

    # do something with the new order

    # Return either :ok or {:error, error_message}
    :ok
  end

  # You need to handle all incoming events. So, better have a
  # catch-all handler for events that you don't want to handle,
  # but only want to acknowledge.
  @impl true
  def handle_event(_unhandled_event), do: :ok
end

Next, you have to add the LemonEx.Webhooks.Plug to your endpoint.ex like this:

# In your endpoint.ex

plug LemonEx.Webhooks.Plug,
  at: "/webhook/lemonsqueezy", # <- At which path the Plug expects to receive webhooks
  handler: MyAppWeb.MyWebhookHandler # <- Your handler module

# Make sure that this plug comes after the LemonEx plug.
plug Plug.Parsers

And that's it!

List with Filter

When fetching all elements using list/1, you can add an optional filter, like this:

# Without any filters
LemonEx.Customers.list()

# With both, email and store_id filter
LemonEx.Customers.list(filter: [email: "[email protected]", store_id: 12345])

# With only email filter or only store_id filter
LemonEx.Customers.list(filter: [email: "[email protected]"])
LemonEx.Customers.list(filter: [store_id: 12345])

List with Pagination

You can also provide page: [size: 2, number: 3] and a sort option when listing a record, like this:

# With both, email and store_id filter
LemonEx.Customers.list(page: [size: 2, number: 3], sort: "-createdAt")

# You can also combine `page` and `filter` in a single call
LemonEx.Customers.list(filter: [store_id: 12345], page: [size: 2, number: 3], sort: "-createdAt,name")

Testing Webhooks locally

You can use ngrok to proxy webhook events to your localhost:4000 like this:

1. Install ngrok with e.g. brew install --cask ngrok
2. Start ngrok with ngrok http 4000
3. Copy the URL behind Forwarding that looks like this: https://{identifier_here}.eu.ngrok.io
4. Create a new Webhook in LemonSqueezy that points to the copied URL plus your endpoint. For example: https://{identifier}.eu.ngrok.io/webhooks/lemonsqueezy
5. Start your Phoenix application and enjoy!
6. (Optional): View the event payload in the Ngrok Inspector at http://localhost:4040

Testing Endpoints locally

You can use the testing.livemd Livebook to test LemonEx endpoints locally. Simply start the Livebook, add your test api key as LEMON_EX_API_KEY to the livebook, and start testing.

Todos

• Add all schema objects
• Add optional filters to requests
• Add webhook plug and handler
• Write better docs
• Allow fetching the next and previous page through PaginatedResponse
• Allow drop-in of other HTTP libraries
• Add tests
• Add links to API documentation to each schema and context
• Add relationships to schemas

Notes

• The timestamps are mostly snake case but sometimes camelCase (e.g. File or User object)
• The API Responses sometimes return foreign IDs as strings, but expect the same IDs to be an integer when making a request to the API. See #3
