gathercontent 0.2

Dependencies

You’ll need requests. If you’re installing via Pypi/pip, this should be installed automatically. If you need to install it manually, this was developed against requests==2.5.1, so it’s probably best to use that.

Usage

This module exposes all documented GatherContent API methods. Assuming the URL schema doesn’t change, it should work with future API versions, too, as long as the URI’s are all prefixed with get_. Right now, I’ve tested this with the following API methods:

• get_me – logged in user

• get_users – all visible users for given API key

• get_user (id) – user with specified id

• get_my_group – group that API user belongs to

• get_groups – all visible groups for given API key

• get_group (id) – group with specified id

• get_projects – all visible projects for given API key

• get_project (id) – project with specified id

• get_page (id) – page with specified id

• get_pages_by_project (id) – all pages belonging to project with specified id

• get_file (id) – file with specified id

• get_files_by_project (id) – all files belonging to project with specified id

• get_files_by_page (id) – all files belonging to page with specified id

• get_custom_state (id) – custom state with specified id

• get_custom_states_by_project (id)

The API takes the JSON responses and converts them into Python dictionaries. For example:

>>> from gathercontent import GatherContent
>>> gc = GatherContent(api_key="your-api-key-here", account_name="your-account-name-here")
>>> gc.get_users()
>>> users = gc.get_users()
>>> type(users)
<type 'dict'>
>>> users
{u'users': [{u'first_name': u'Example', u'last_name': u'User', u'created_at': u'2014-10-14 10:33:08', u'updated_at': u'2015-02-04 11:30:01', u'email': u'person@example.com', u'timezone': u'UTC', u'group_id': u'29122', u'id': u'75580'}], u'success': True}
>>> gc.get_user(id=75580)
{u'user': {u'first_name': u'Example', u'last_name': u'User', u'created_at': u'2014-10-14 10:33:08', u'updated_at': u'2015-02-04 11:30:01', u'email': u'person@example.com', u'timezone': u'UTC', u'group_id': u'29122', u'id': u'75580'}, u'success': True}
