Use the Alta Video POS API to test POS webhooks

Test webhooks

import requests,json,time
from datetime import datetime

#Post messages to the defined webhook, using secret and register id.__
# These are stored in a register object along with a session.
# Using a session reduces the overhead of setting up and tearing down connections.

class AwarePOSRegister:
	def __init__(self,webhook,secret,registerid):
		self.webhook=webhook
		self.headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer '+ secret}
		self.registerid=registerid
		self.session=requests.session()
		self.id = 0

	### Methods for sending webhooks.

		# Send a single item, note multiple could be sent in one message.
		dtnow=datetime.now()

			"currency":currency}]}
		response=self.session.post(self.webhook,json=data,headers=self.headers)
