Examples - Accounts & Transactions

This page demonstrates the fundamental operations for managing accounts and handling transactions using the Quicksilver SDK's fluent API. It showcases how the SDK transforms generic API interactions into expressive, type-safe, and object-oriented operations, leveraging the active record pattern.

Before running these examples, ensure you have the [Getting Started with Quicksilver SDK] prerequisites met, including SDK installation and client initialization, preferably pointing to a local sandbox environment.

1. Accounts and Delegation

This example illustrates the creation of primary accounts and the delegation of sub-agents, a core concept for agent commerce. It highlights the Account model's active methods for managing account hierarchies and properties.

Key Takeaways:

• client.accounts.create() directly returns a rich Account object, not just raw data.
• The Account model provides fluent methods like delegate(), getChildren(), updateLimits(), and getBalance() for intuitive interaction.
• This approach simplifies the management of complex organizational structures or multi-agent systems.

2. Fluent Transactions

This example focuses on creating and managing various types of transactions (Payment, Scheduled, Stream) using the SDK's fluent Transaction model. It demonstrates how transactions are treated as dynamic objects with methods for execution, status checks, and lifecycle management.

Key Takeaways:

• account.transaction() initiates a new Transaction object, automatically linking it to the sender account.
• Transactions are initially in a 'Draft' state, allowing for further configuration before execute().
• The Transaction model offers methods like execute(), cancel(), refresh(), getCost(), and getStatus() for comprehensive control and introspection.
• This object-oriented approach makes transaction logic readable, type-safe, and less error-prone compared to raw REST calls.

Next Steps

These examples provide a foundation for interacting with the Quicksilver Engine. You can delve deeper into more advanced functionalities:

• Conditional Logic: Explore how to define sophisticated when().then().otherwise() conditional flows with the ConditionBuilder.
• Programmable Products: Learn to define and purchase services or workflows as Product objects, complete with pricing, guarantees, and multi-agent stages.
• Streaming Payments & Events: Implement real-time, continuous payments and subscribe to events using the SDK's StreamConnection.
• KYC Verification: Integrate identity verification workflows directly into your account management using the Account model's verification methods.
