Autograder.io Contrib

Contains utilities for writing applications that use the autograder.io API.

We recommend Amir Kamil's autograder-tools for a larger collection of applications.

Obtaining a Token

Log in to autograder.io in Chrome and open up the developer tools from the Chrome menu (View->Developer->Developer Tools on a Mac). Click on a course link. In the developer console, click on a request (e.g. my_roles/ or projects/). Under Request Headers, there is an Authorization entry that looks like "Token ". Copy the hex string and save it to the file .agtoken in your home directory.

The Command Line Interface

This library provides a simple command line interface for sending requests:

$ agcli get /api/users/current/

This interface notably does not support delete requests for safety reasons. If you wish to delete something, please do so through the autograder.io website or (at your own risk) you may use the HTTPClient class described in the next section.

The HTTPClient

The HTTPClient class is a starting point for sending custom requests in Python applications.

import json
from ag_contrib.http_client import HTTPClient, check_response_status

client = HTTPClient.make_default()
response = client.get('/api/users/current/')
check_response_status(response)
print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=4))
