Installation

::

pip install ubersmith

Example Use

First you'll need to initialize the ubersmith package with your login credentials::

import ubersmith
ubersmith.init('http://ubersmith/api/2.0/', 'username', 'password')

Then you can make API calls::

from ubersmith import uber, client
uber.method_list()
client.get(email='[email protected]')

These modules match the methods as documented in the Ubersmith API 2.0 docs_.

.. _Ubersmith API 2.0 docs: https://github.com/jasonkeene/python-ubersmith/raw/master/docs/ubersmith_api_docs.pdf

Without Module State

ubersmith.init creates and stores a request handler with your login credentials. If for some reason you'd prefer to not have this module state then you can instantiate the request handler manually::

from ubersmith.api import RequestHandler
h = RequestHandler('http://ubersmith/api/2.0/', 'username', 'password')

and then explicitly pass it into any call function::

from ubersmith import uber, client
uber.method_list.handler(h)()
client.get.handler(h)(email='[email protected]')

or you can access the call function directly on the handler and the handler will be implicitly passed into the call function for you::

h.uber.method_list()
h.client.get(email='[email protected]')

Raw Processing

Alternatively you can process the request directly on the handler::

h.process_request('uber.method_list')
h.process_request('client.get', data={'email': '[email protected]'})

although this will bypass any validation logic and response cleaning provided by the call function and just return the BaseResponse from ubersmith.

Development

You'll need to install the development dependencies::

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Running Tests

To run the tests::

py.test

To run the tests on multiple interpreters::

tox

To run the tests and generate a coverage report::

bin/coverage.sh

Console

To run the dev console copy over the example config file::

cp bin/config.py.example bin/config.py

Edit it with your credentials then run the console::

python -i bin/console.py

From here you can run commands against your dev instance::

>>> uber.method_list()
