Example Django ``settings.py``
------------------------------

NOTE: Django settings, if present, will take precedence over arguments to PinballMapClient(...)

.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 4,5

PINBALL_MAP = {
'region_name': 'chicago',
'location_id': your_location_id, # should be an int
# email and token are required for all write operations
'user_email': '...', # your pinball map account email, needed for write operations
'user_password': '...', # your pinball map password, needed for write operations (not needed with token)
'authentication_token': '...', # your pinball map api token, needed for write operations
'cache_name': 'default', # default: 'default'
'cache_key_prefix': 'pmap_', # default: 'pmap_'
}



Example Django management command
---------------------------------

Create yourapp/management/commands/update_pinball_map.py and use this as a starting point:

.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 11

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, CommandError
from pinballmap import PinballMapClient
from yourapp.somewhere import get_current_game_list


class Command(BaseCommand):
help = 'Update the Pinball Map API. Adds/removes machines from our location.'

def handle(self, *args, **options):
try:
games = get_current_game_list() # ← your code provides a list of current IDs
# no args needed if you used Django settings as shown above:
c = PinballMapClient()
c.update_map([g.pinball_map_id for g in games])
self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS("Pinball Map updated."))
except Exception as err:
self.stderr.write(self.style.ERROR("Could not update pinball map because: {}".format(err)))
