Gitcoin Python API Client

This Python package provides the bounties endpoint of the Gitcoin API, which allows you to:

• list all bounties
• list all bounties which meet certain conditions (i.e. filter them)
• retrieve a single bounty by it's primary key

Install via pypi

pip install gitcoin

Usage Examples

List all bounties

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()
all_bounties = api.bounties.all()

List all open bounties

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()
open_bounties = api.bounties.filter(is_open=True).all()

List all open "Beginner" bounties

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()
bounties_api = api.bounties
bounties_api.filter(is_open=True)
bounties_api.filter(experience_level='Beginner')
open_beginner_bounties = bounties_api.all()

The example above has been reformatted for easier reading. A fluent interface is also available. Please scroll the following code block all the way to the end to see the whole line:

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()
open_beginner_bounties = api.bounties.filter(is_open=True, experience_level='Beginner').all()

List all open bounties marked for either "Beginner" OR "Intermediate" experience level

For some filter conditions, multiple different values can be given, which results in a logical OR for that condition:

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()
bounties_api = api.bounties
bounties_api.filter(is_open=True)
bounties_api.filter(experience_level='Beginner')
bounties_api.filter(experience_level='Intermediate')
open_beginner_and_intermediate_bounties = bounties_api.all()

The example above has been reformatted for easier reading. A fluent interface is also available. Please scroll the following code block all the way to the end to see the whole line:

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()
open_beginner_and_intermediate_bounties = api.bounties.filter(is_open=True).filter(experience_level='Beginner').filter(experience_level='Intermediate').all()

API

Instantiation

1. Create a Gitcoin() API root object:

from gitcoin import Gitcoin
api = Gitcoin()

2. The bounties API endpoint is accessible as a property of the API root object:

bounties_endpoint = api.bounties

Each access to the bounties property results in a new Endpoint object with no filter conditions or any other parameters (like sorting) set. If you want to keep a specific set of filter conditions, simply store the Endpoint object in a variable instead of referring to the bounties property of the root object.

bounties.filter(**kwargs)

Limit the list of bounties returned by either get_page() or all() to those bounties meeting the filter condition(s). For some filter conditions, multiple different values can be given, which results in a logical OR for that condition.

The condition name is the name of the keyword argument, and the condition value is the value of the keyword argument:

open_bounties = api.bounties.filter(is_open=True).all()

Conditions with different names can be given in one filter() call:

open_beginner bounties = api.bounties.filter(is_open=True, experience_level='Beginner').all()

Or if preferred, they can also be given in separate filter() calls:

open_beginner bounties = api.bounties.filter(is_open=True).filter(experience_level='Beginner').all()

Giving multiple values for the same filter condition has to be done in separate calls to filter():

beginner_and_intermediate_bounties = api.bounties.filter(experience_level='Beginner').filter(experience_level='Intermediate').all()

For the following filter conditions, multiple values can be given to achieve a logical OR:

• experience_level (str)
• project_length (str)
• bounty_type (str)
• bounty_owner_address (str)
• bounty_owner_github_username (str)
• idx_status (str)
• network (str)
• standard_bounties_id (int)
• github_url (str)
• raw_data (str)

The following filter conditions are single value, in other words, multiple values result in the last value overwriting all earlier values:

• pk__gt (int)
• started (str)
• is_open (bool)
• fulfiller_github_username (str)
• interested_github_username (str)

filter() returns the Endpoint object itself to enable a fluent interface.

bounties.order_by(sort)

Determine the order of the bounties returned by either get_page() or all(). The sort argument is a string containing a DB field name to sort by. It can also have an optional "-" prefix for reversing the direction. Choose from these field names:

• accepted
• balance
• bounty_owner_address
• bounty_owner_email
• bounty_owner_github_username
• bounty_owner_name
• bounty_type
• canceled_on
• contract_address
• current_bounty
• experience_level
• expires_date
• fulfillment_accepted_on
• fulfillment_started_on
• fulfillment_submitted_on
• github_comments
• github_url
• idx_experience_level
• idx_project_length
• idx_status
• interested
• interested_comment
• is_open
• issue_description
• last_comment_date
• metadata
• network
• num_fulfillments
• override_status
• privacy_preferences
• project_length
• raw_data
• snooze_warnings_for_days
• standard_bounties_id
• submissions_comment
• title
• token_address
• token_name
• token_value_in_usdt
• token_value_time_peg
• _val_usd_db
• value_in_eth
• value_in_token
• value_in_usdt
• value_in_usdt_now
• value_true
• web3_created
• web3_type

order_by() returns the Endpoint object itself to enable a fluent interface.

bounties.get_page(number=1, per_page=25)

Returns one page of the (potentially filter()ed) list of bounties with the given 1-based index number (int). The page size can be set with per_page (int). Each bounty is a dict, basically the direct output of requests' .json() call.

bounties.all()

Returns the complete (potentially filter()ed) list of bounties. Each bounty is a dict, basically the direct output of requests' .json() call.

bounties.get(primary_key)

Returns one (1) bounty as specified by primary_key (int). It is returned as a dict, basically the direct output of requests' .json() call.
