Programmable Wallets aren't just about theoretical possibilities. They can streamline everything from:
Global Remittances: Imagine sending money across borders instantly, with lower fees, and in a rock-solid currency. That's the power of USDC.
Subscription Services: Set up recurring payments that are both convenient for you and reliable for businesses.
Ecommerce and Micropayments: Enable pay-as-you-go models and smaller transactions that might get Restricted with traditional payment methods.
Okay now, let's get practical! Here's a quick guide to creating a wallet in circle, I’ll be using python for the codes.
Head to Circle's developer portal: (https://console.circle.com/wallets/overview) and set up a developer account to start the process.
Next, you'll go to the API Keys Page and click on the "CREATE A KEY" button and proceed to type a name for your API Key. Select the "Standard Key" option for your API (this allows you all access to the API functions), Then click on the "CREATE KEY" button to create your API key, Copy the API key and save it properly.
to create a user open Vscode and create a new user.py file.
copy and paste these codes: import requests url = "https://api.circle.com/v1/w3s/users" payload = {"userId":"<USER_ID>"} headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" } response = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers) print(response.text).
Change "" to "User 1", and too your API key you got earlier from “Create a user”. then run it in the terminal with "python user.py". copy the output and save
We need to generate a secure session token. This is your key to authenticating your actions.
Create a new python file named “user_token.py”.
copy and paste these codes: import requests url = "https://api.circle.com/v1/w3s/users/token" payload = {"userId":"<USER_ID>"} headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" } response = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers ) print(response.text)
change "" to "User 1", and too your API key you got earlier from Create a user. run it by typing python user_session.py. copy the output and save (as we will be needing it to initialize the user).
Set up a new, unique Programmable Wallet for yourself.
Go to your Circle Developer’s Dashboard and get your APP ID (it allows you to configure your User-Controlled Wallet integration).
or create a new python file and paste this code:
import requests url = "https://api.circle.com/v1/w3s/config/entity" headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.text)
this will return the App Id, copy and save
https://console.circle.com/wallets/user/configurator
Use the Circle API to easily send USDC to another wallet on the network.
First Generate a tokenId for your wallet: Create a python file and name it wallet_token.py.
Copy this code and paste it: import requests url = "https://api.circle.com/v1/w3s/wallets/__WALLET_ID__/balances" headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.text)

Check your new balance to confirm the transaction went through smoothly.
