EsiPysi 0.3.4

A client for ESI, the API for Eve Online

# EsiPysi

EsiPysi (pronounced like "Easy Peasy") is a utility for accessing the Eve api called Esi. The goal of this project is
to create a lightweight and fast tool which makes devloping with Esi easier.

## Features

* Auth storage and auto refreshing
* If your access token expires, EsiPysi will acquire a new one
* Fast API calling and JSON parsing using [requests](https://github.com/requests/requests)
* Uses the popular requests package for calling APIs and parsing the JSON response
* Light input validation
* Only validates that the parameters are in the Esi Swagger Spec, does not validate types/values
* Caching using Redis

## Install

Install with pip:

```
pip install git+git://github.com/FlyingKiwiBird/EsiPysi
```

## How to use

Get familliar with the [ESI reference](https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/#/)

start with an EsiPysi object, this will keep track of global settings like which Esi version to use (_latest is reccomended)

```python
from esipysi import EsiPysi

esi = EsiPysi("https://esi.tech.ccp.is/_latest/swagger.json?datasource=tranquility", user_agent="Your User Agent Here")
```

Now from that object you can create operations, pass the operation ID to the get_operation function

```python
op = esi.get_operation("get_search")
```

If it requires authorization you can use EsiAuth

```python
from esipysi import EsiAuth

auth = EsiAuth(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, REFRESH_TOKEN, EXPIRES_AT)
op.set_auth(auth)
```

And then you can execute that operation with parameters

```python
result = op.json(categories="character", search="Flying Kiwi Sertan")
```

### Caching

EsiPysi has caching provided by redis. First create a redis client.

Example from [redis-py](https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py)

```python
import redis
r = redis.StrictRedis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
```

Now create a RedisCache object and pass it to the EsiPysi object

```python
from esipysy import EsiPysi
from esipysy.cache import RedisCache
cache = RedisCache(r)
esi = EsiPysi("https://esi.tech.ccp.is/_latest/swagger.json?datasource=tranquility", user_agent="Your User Agent Here", cache=cache)
```
