Python wrapper around the dotloop API.

dotloop-python

Python wrapper around the dotloop API.

Quick Start

Authenticate

Start by getting access and refresh tokens.

from dotloop import Authenticate

auth = Authenticate('dotloop-client-id', 'dotloop-client-secret')
url = auth.url_for_authentication('https://example.com/redirect/')

...
# code is received
with auth:
    response = auth.acquire_access_and_refresh_tokens(code, 'https://example.com/redirect/')
    # response is a dictionary:
    # {
    #   "access_token": "...",
    #   "token_type": "Bearer",
    #   "refresh_token": "...",
    #   "expires_in": ...,
    #   "scope": "..."
    # }

Client

Then use the access token acquired to create a Client object.

access_token = response['access_token']
client = Client(access_token)

From the Client object, you can now access dotloop data.

For example, get data about all profiles

client.profile.get()  # -> Dict

or get data about a specific profile

client.profile(<profile_id>).get()

or get all loops associated with a profile

client.profile(<profile_id>).loop.get()

or get all folders in a specific loop

client.profile(<profile_id>).loop(<loop_id>).folder.get()

or update a participant on a specific loop

client.profile(<profile_id>).loop(<loop_id>).participant(<participant_id>).patch(email='[e-mail]')

Design Philosophy

All items accessible in the dotloop API follow a hierarchical structure as represented like this:

• Account
• Contact
• LoopIt
• Profile
  • LoopTemplate
  • Loop
    • Activity
    • Participant
    • Detail
    • TaskList
      • Task
    • Folder
      • Document

The design of this wrapper was intended to emulate that while providing idiomatic ways of quickly accessing data. Endpoints and their HTTP methods are easily translated to python code.

Accessing

PATCH /profile/1/loop/1/folder/1

translates seamlessly to

client.profile(1).loop(1).folder(1).patch(...)

Inspiration was taken from dotloop-ruby and sendgrid-python.
