Usage

The first step to using any SDK function is to create a object:

>>> from freelancersdk.session import Session
>>> session = Session(oauth_token=token)

You must have a valid OAuth2 token before you can use the SDK or the API. See the Freelancer.com Developer portal for more information on how you can do so.

Once we have a session object, we can start using the SDK functions.

Examples

All the examples below recognizes two environment variables:

• FLN_OAUTH_TOKEN: The OAuth2 token to create the session with and must be specified

• FLN_URL: If you want to use the library to make requests against the Freelancer.com Sandbox, you can specifiy FLN_URL=https://www.freelancer-sandbox.com. If not specified, it defaults to https://www.freelancer.com.
