Hello, this is an open source Python library that serves as an interface to FreshBooks. The code is heavily based on the existing Ruby implementation by Ben Vinegar of the same interface: http://freshbooks.rubyforge.org/

USAGE:

import freshbooks

# get data
freshbooks.setup('YOU.freshbooks.com', '<YOUR AUTH TOKEN>', user_agent_name='Your Company')
clients = freshbooks.Client.list()
client_1 = freshbooks.Client.get(<client_id>)

# update data
changed_client = freshbooks.Client()
changed_client.client_id = client_1.client_id
changed_client.first_name = u'Jane'
r = freshbooks.call_api('client.update', changed_client)
assert(r.success)
