Mattermost API bindings

In productive use on a 6k+ users E10 instance at https://mattermost.fsinf.at

• Used to manage channels, users and everything.
• Some api-endpoints are #UNTESTED.
  • Some are not handled/#NOT_IMPLEMENTED (yet).
    • Some dont seem to make any sense to ever implement at all. Why do they even exist?
    • Others may be out of scope (I cannot test E20-stuff)
• Beware: I love to rebase git. :)

If you use this or find this stuff useful, consider paying me a beer/club-mate :)

Setup

pip3 install --user --upgrade mattermost

Usage

import mattermost

# login
mm = mattermost.MMApi("https://mattermost.example.com/api")
mm.login("user@example.com", "my-pw")
# alternatively use a personal-access-token/bot-token.
# mm.login(bearer="my-personal-access-token")


# do stuff (print info about your user)
import pprint
pprint.pprint(mm.get_user())


# do other stuff (print info about an not-existing user)
try:
    pprint.pprint(mm.get_user("not-existing-user-id", exc=True))
except mattermost.ApiException as e:
    print(e)


# custom endpoint call (get server config)
cfg = mm._get("/v4/config")

# do something (enable plugins)
cfg["PluginSettings"]["Enable"] = True

# custom endpoint call (put server config)
mm._put("/v4/config", data=cfg)


# logout
mm.revoke_user_session()

Websocket usage

import mattermost
import mattermost.ws

# login
mm = mattermost.MMApi("https://mattermost.example.com/api")
mm.login("user@example.com", "my-pw")


# define a websocket handler
def webs_handler(mmws, event_data):
    import pprint
    pprint.pprint(mmws)
    pprint.pprint(event_data)

# connect to websocket and start processing events
mmws = mattermost.ws.MMws(webs_handler, mm, "wss://mattermost.example.com/api/v4/websocket")

To close the websocket connection - there is no way to restart, create a new instance of MMws:

• mmws.close_websocket()

Manually calling the API

Some endpoints are not handled (yet). You can manually call these endpoints. Available private functions:

• _get(endpoint, raw=False, exc=False)
• _put(endpoint, data=None, exc=False)
• _post(endpoint, data=None, multipart_formdata=None, exc=False)
• _delete(endpoint, data=None, exc=False)

stdin2channel

You can pipe STDIN to a channel:

• echo "message" | python3 -m mattermost.stdin2channel https://localhost:8065/api 'user@example.com' 'my-pw' 'channel_id' This leaks your credentials to everyone on your system! Only use this in trusted dev-envs.
