Getting started with the ButterCMS API couldn't be easier. Use your authorization token to create a ButterCMS client.

client = ButterCMS(auth_token)

All methods return dictionaries. The data can be navigated using keys and indexes like the example below.

response = client.posts.all()

posts = response['data'] 
# posts now contains a list of post dictionaries

my_post = posts[0]
# my_post contains the first returned post

print(my_post)
# {
#   "url": "http://www.example.com/blog/this-is-a-blog-post",
#   "created": "2015-06-12T13:59:32.441289Z",
#   "published": "2015-06-12T00:00:00Z",
#   ...
# }
