A Python package for simplified access to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) API. This package provides an easy-to-use interface for checking KRA PIN numbers and validating taxpayer information.

## Features

- 🔐 Secure authentication with KRA API
- 📋 KRA PIN validation
- 🆔 ID-based PIN lookup
- 🏗️ Support for both sandbox and production environments
- 📊 Tax obligation type enumeration
- 🛡️ Error handling and logging

## Installation

```bash
pip install gava-connect
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Set up your environment variables

Create a `.env` file in your project directory:

```env
PIN_CHECKER_CONSUMER_KEY=your_consumer_key_here
PIN_CHECKER_CONSUMER_SECRET=your_consumer_secret_here
```

### 2. Basic Usage

```python
from gava_connect import KRAGavaConnect

# Initialize the client (sandbox environment)
kra_client = KRAGavaConnect(
    consumer_key="your_consumer_key",
    consumer_secret="your_consumer_secret",
    environment="sandbox"  # or "production"
)

# Check KRA PIN
result = kra_client.check_pin_kra_pin("A123456789")
print(result)

# Check PIN by ID number
result = kra_client.check_pin_by_id("12345678")
print(result)
```

## API Reference

The package uses Python's built-in logging module. Logs are set to INFO level by default.

## Examples

### Complete Example

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from gava_connect import KRAGavaConnect, TaxObligationType

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv()

# Initialize client
kra_client = KRAGavaConnect(
    consumer_key=os.getenv("PIN_CHECKER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
    consumer_secret=os.getenv("PIN_CHECKER_CONSUMER_SECRET"),
    environment="sandbox"
)

# Check a KRA PIN
try:
    result = kra_client.check_pin_kra_pin("A123456789")
    print("PIN Check Result:", result)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error checking PIN: {e}")

# Get tax obligation type description
obligation_desc = TaxObligationType.get_obligation_type("9")
print(f"Tax obligation 9: {obligation_desc}")  # Output: Value Added Tax (VAT)
```
