Project description
The AWeber API Python Library allows you to quickly get up and running with integrating access to the AWeber API into your Python applications. This egg requires the python-oauth2 to handle the authentication.
Installation
This egg can be installed by checking out the source:
$ sudo python setup.py install
Or can be installed using easy_install:
$ easy_install aweber_api
Usage
To connect the AWeber API Python Libray, you simply include the main class, AWeberAPI in your application, then create an instace of it with your application’s consumer key and secret.:
from aweber_api import AWeberAPI
aweber = AWeberAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
account = aweber.get_account(access_token, token_secret)
for list in account.lists:
print list.name
Handling Errors
Sometimes errors happen and your application should handle them appropriately. Whenever an API error occurs an AWeberAPIException will be raised with a detailed error message and documentation link to explain whats wrong.
You should wrap any calls to the API in a try/except block.
- Common Errors:
Resource not found (404 error)
Your application has been rate limited (403 error)
Bad request (400 error)
API Temporarily unavailable (503 error)
Refer to https://labs.aweber.com/docs/troubleshooting for the complete list:
from aweber_api import AWeberAPI, APIException
aweber = AWeberAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
account = aweber.get_account(access_token, token_secret)
try:
invalid_resource = account.load_from_url('/idontexist')
except APIException, exc:
print '404! {0}'.format(exc)
try:
print len(account.lists)
except APIException, exc:
print 'hmm, something unexpected happened!: {0}'.format(exc)
Getting request tokens / access tokens
You can also use the AWeberAPI object to handle retrieving request tokens:
from aweber_api import AWeberAPI aweber = AWeberAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret) request_token, request_token_secret = aweber.get_request_token(callback_url) print aweber.authorize_url
As well as access tokens:
from aweber_api import AWeberAPI aweber = AWeberAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret) aweber.user.verifier = verifier aweber.user.request_token = request_token aweber.user.token_secret = request_token_secret access_token, access_token_secret = aweber.get_access_token()
Full Pylons example
Here is a simple Pylons example that uses the AWeber API Python Library to get a request token, have it authorized, and then print some basic stats about the web forms in that user’s lists:
from pylons import session, request, tmpl_context as c
from pylons.controllers.util import redirect
from awebertest.lib.base import BaseController, render
from aweber_api import AWeberAPI
url = 'http://localhost:5000'
consumer_key = "vjckgsr5y4gfOa3PWnf"
consumer_secret = "u3sQ7vGGJBfds4q5dfgsTESi685c5x2wm6gZuIj"
class DemoController(BaseController):
def __before__(self):
self.aweber = AWeberAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
def index(self):
token, secret = self.aweber.get_request_token(url+'/demo/get_access')
session['request_token_secret'] = secret
session.save()
redirect(self.aweber.authorize_url)
def get_access(self):
self.aweber.user.request_token = request.params['oauth_token']
self.aweber.user.token_secret = session['request_token_secret']
self.aweber.user.verifier = request.params['oauth_verifier']
session['token'], session['secret'] = self.aweber.get_access_token()
session.save()
redirect(url+'/demo/show')
def show(self):
c.account = self.aweber.get_account(session['token'], session['secret'])
return render('data.mako')
In data.mako:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1>Web Forms</h1>
% for list in c.account.lists:
<b>List Id:</b> ${list.id}, name: ${list.name}<br />
<b>Currently has:</b> ${len(list.web_forms)} web forms
<ul>
% for form in list.web_forms:
<li>Form Id: ${form.id}, name: ${form.name}</li>
% endfor
</ul>
% endfor
</body>
</html>
