What is proxy Nginx?

Question

Python

I didn’t quite understand in the documentation for pyQiwiP2P ( https://pypi.org/project/pyQiwiP2P/ ) whether Nginx is needed if you have a bot accepting payments, and not a website? If so, where should it be entered? The same applies to the port, is it needed for the bot?

Код из документации:

from pyqiwip2p.notify import QiwiNotify
from pyqiwip2p.p2p_types import Bill

QIWI_PRIV_KEY = "abCdef...xYz"

qiwi_notify = QiwiNotify(QIWI_PRIV_KEY)


#
# Хэндлер принимает в себя аргументом функцию,
# в которую передаст объект счёта - Bill
#

# Добавим хэндлер, который будет печатать billID для всех счетов
@qiwi_notify.handler(lambda bill: True)
def print_bill(bill: Bill):
  print(bill.bill_id)


# Создадим хэндлер, который будет печатать сумму оплаченных счетов
@qiwi_notify.handler(lambda bill: bill.status == "PAID")
def print_bill(bill: Bill):
  print(bill.amount)


# Теперь запустим сервер на 12345'ом порту
qiwi_notify.start(port=12345)

Так-же из документации:

server {
    listen 443;
    server_name qiwinotify.domain.com;
    ssl_certificate      cert.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key  pkey.key;
    location /superSecretQiwiURI {
        proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:12345/qiwi_notify;
    }
}

No, you don't need nginx. Since pyqiwip2p does not accept hooks from kiwi, but uses the kiwi api to check the status of the payment.
And so if you had a kiwi hook handler. That would have been a script on puff or something else. Then nginx would be a proxy for some php-fpm or gunicorn.
