infusionsoft-client 1.5.1

Sexy Infusionsoft XML-RPC API client

A simple-to-use Infusionsoft XML-RPC API client, with included stubs for code sense. Python 3.5+ only (but pull requests welcome :smirk:).

Installation

pip install infusionsoft-client

Quickstart

First, initialize the client with your app name and API key:

import infusionsoft
infusionsoft.initialize('myapp', '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6')

And use the infusionsoft like a regular xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy:

import infusionsoft
contact_id = infusionsoft.ContactService.add({'FirstName': 'Johnny'})

Setting XML-RPC Client Options

Any extra kwargs passed to initialize() will be passed along to xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy.

import infusionsoft
infusionsoft.initialize('myapp', '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', use_builtin_types=True)

Some kwargs of interest are:

• use_builtin_types: whether to utilize native Python types, rather than wrappers such as xmlrpc.client.DateTime or xmlrpc.client.Binary. I recommend turning this on. It will be turned on by default in the next major/breaking release.

• verbose: set to True to print out the request and response bodies for each RPC call.

• allow_none: whether to allow None to be sent over the wire. Infusionsoft, in general, doesn’t allow None (which is nil in XML-RPC parlance). If a field in a response is null, Infusionsoft will simply not send it.

• retries: number of times to retry failed requests. Requests are retried on connection/socket errors, and “InvalidConfig” faults (if you’ve never seen them, I envy you). Any other type of fault will still raise an exception.

See the docs for more info.

Usage with Django

infusionsoft-client includes a Django integration out of the box. Just add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'infusionsoft.contrib.django',
)

And add your app name and API key to your settings:

INFUSIONSOFT_APP_NAME = 'myapp'
INFUSIONSOFT_API_KEY = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6'

Pass extra configuration to the XML-RPC client with INFUSIONSOFT_CLIENT_OPTIONS:

INFUSIONSOFT_CLIENT_OPTIONS = {
    'use_builtin_types': True,
}

Getting All Rows of a Query

Some API calls are paginated, and require multiple calls to retrieve all results. This can be a pain, and you may find yourself writing the same code over and over. To this end, infusionsoft-client provides a consume() generator function, which will consume all pages of any query function.

To use it, create a lambda (or regular) function taking page and limit as arguments which performs your paginated API call, and pass it to consume():

import infusionsoft
from infusionsoft.query import consume

query_fn = lambda page, limit: (
    infusionsoft.DataService.query('mytable', limit, page, ['Id']))

# Use with a for-loop, to avoid storing all rows in memory:
for row in consume(query_fn):
    do_stuff(row)

# Or retrieve all rows at once
all_rows = list(consume(query_fn))

Generate Code Stubs

Shipped with infusionsoft-client is code to download the official Infusionsoft XML-RPC docs, parse them with BeautifulSoup, and generate Python 3.5-compatible stubs for all methods.

To generate these yourself, first install the extra requirements:

pip install -r stub-requirements.txt

Then run the generate_stubs() function, which will return a string:

from infusionsoft.gen_stubs import generate_stubs
source = generate_stubs()
