Python library for the Kloudless API
Project description
Python library for the Kloudless API
=====================================
Python library for the [Kloudless API](https://developers.kloudless.com).
This is in beta and under significant development.
## Installation
To install, clone the repository and run:
```bash
python setup.py install
```
## Documentation
See the [Kloudless API Docs](https://developers.kloudless.com/docs) for the official reference.
You can obtain an API Key at the [Developer Portal](https://developers.kloudless.com).
### Resources
Here are the resource classes available:
* `Account`
* `File`
* `Folder`
* `Link`
* `Key`
Each class has the following methods where applicable:
* `create(**data)` makes a POST request to create a resource of that type.
* `all(**params)` makes a GET request to list all resources
* `retrieve(id, **params)` makes a GET request to retrieve metadata for that resource.
In addition, instances have the methods below where applicable:
* `save(**params)` makes a PATCH request to update the resource after attributes on it
have been modified.
* `delete(**params)` makes a DELETE request to delete the resource.
Parameters mentioned above:
* `id`: The ID of the resource.
* `params`: Keyword arguments that will be converted into query parameters for the request.
* `data`: Keyword arguments that will be converted into a JSON string sent in the body of the request.
#### Accessing nested resources
The `Account` model has some helper attributes to make using class methods easier:
* `links` references the Link class
* `files` references the File class
* `folders` references the Folder class
* `keys` references the Key class
## Examples
### Basics
Here is an example retrieving metadata on a folder in an account:
```python
>>> import kloudless; kloudless.configure(api_key="API_KEY")
>>> accounts = kloudless.Account.all()
>>> account = accounts[0]
>>> root_folder = account.folders()
>>> children = root_folder.contents()
>>> child_folder = [f for f in children if f.type == 'folder'][0]
```
The shortcut method `account.folders` is used above,
but you can also instantiate the classes above independently:
```python
>>> root_folder = kloudless.Folder(id='root', parent_resource=account)
```
There are different ways to retrieve information on a resource, given it's ID.
Here are some examples, given `account_id` and `child_folder_id` as the account and
folder IDs respectively.
```python
# We need to create the account object with an account ID first.
>>> account = kloudless.Account(id=account_id)
# Get the child folder via the "account.folders" helper method.
>>> account.folders.retrieve(id=child_folder_id)
# Retrieve the child folder a different way
>>> kloudless.Folder.retrieve(id=child_folder.id, parent_resource=account)
# Retrieve the child folder another way
>>> f = kloudless.Folder(id=child_folder.id, parent_resource=account)
>>> f.refresh() # Pulls latest metadata given the ID.
```
Another example retrieving key information a few different ways:
```python
# A few different ways
>>> key = kloudless.Key.all(parent_resource=account)[0]
>>> key = account.keys.retrieve(id=key.id)
>>> key = kloudless.Key.retrieve(id=key.id, parent_resource=account)
>>> key = kloudless.Key(id=key.id); key.refresh();
```
### Moving a file
Here's an example moving a file from one account to a folder in a different account.
```python
# Get two cloud storage accounts.
>>> accounts = kloudless.Account.all();
>>> accounts[0].id
10
>>> accounts[1].id
20
# Find a file in the first account.
>>> root_contents = accounts[0].folders().contents() # Get the root folder contents
>>> f = [f for f in root_contents if f.type == 'file'][0] # Get a file
# Find a folder in the second account.
>>> root_contents = accounts[1].folders().contents()
>>> folder = [folder for folder in root_contents if folder.type == 'folder'][0]
# Update the file with new information
>>> f.account = accounts[1].id # Moving it to a different account
>>> f.name = 'new file name.txt'
>>> f.parent_id = folder.id
>>> f.save() # Makes the request to move the file.
# 'f' now represents the new file object.
```
## Apps using the Python SDK
* https://github.com/vinodc/cloud-text-editor creates folders and uploads files via the Kloudless API.
## TODO
* Tests!
* Flesh out documentation.
* Distribute via package server.
* Fix moving files/folders between folders.
## Acknowledgements
* [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) makes the API requests easy.
* [stripe-python](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python) was a useful resource while researching the interface for this API.
