Attempts to port the undocumented open inviter API to python :)

Understanding the PHP API

There are tons of files, but plugins/_hosted.plg.php overwrites almost everything.

Hosted API

• Post XML to http://hosted.openinviter.com/hosted/hosted.php.

• <import>
    <service>{{ service }}</service>
    <user>{$user}</user>
    <password>{$pass}</password>
  </import>
  

• Authentication by private key, used to sign the XML with an md5 hash.

• Supported services are requested and cached every now and then.

TODO

• Can’t get hosted services lookup to work (services() function)
• Contacts and services for a function name is ugly… import_contacts might be better
