Installation
============

.. code:: shell

$ pip install myql

Quick Start
===========

It's important to know that **response** is a just
**requests.models.Response** object. Yes indeed, ***mYQL*** uses
***requests*** :smile:

By default, you have access to the **community tables**. If for
whatsoever reason you would like to not have access to those tables

.. code:: python

>>> import myql
>>> yql = myql.MYQL(community=False)

Changing response format (xml or json)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The response format is by default ***json***.

.. code:: python

>>> import myql
>>> from myql.utils import pretty_json, pretty_xml
>>> yql = myql.MYQL(format='xml', community=True)
>>> resp = yql.raw_query('select name, woeid from geo.states where place="Congo"')
>>> print(pretty_xml(resp.content))
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Methods
-------

use(yql\_table\_url,name=yql\_table\_name)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maps a table name to the URL of an Open Data Table.

.. code:: python

>>> yql.use('http://www.josuebrunel.org//users.xml', name='myusers')

desc(tablename)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Returns table description

.. code:: python

>>> response = yql.desc('weather.forecast')
>>> print(pretty_json(response.content))
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2015-06-07T12:00:27Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"table": {
"hash": "aae78b1462a6a8fbc748aec4cf292767",
"meta": {
"author": "Yahoo! Inc",
"description": "Weather forecast table",
"documentationURL": "http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/",
"sampleQuery": "select * from weather.forecast where woeid=2502265"
},
"name": "weather.forecast",
"request": {
"select": [
{
"key": [
{
"name": "location",
"required": "true",
"type": "xs:string"
},
{
"name": "u",
"type": "xs:string"
}
]
},
{
"key": [
{
"name": "woeid",
"required": "true",
"type": "xs:string"
},
{
"name": "u",
"type": "xs:string"
}
]
}
]
},
"security": "ANY"
}
}
}
}

>>>

raw\_query(query)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Allows you to directly type your query

.. code:: python

>>> response = yql.raw_query("select * from geo.countries where place='North America'")
>>> # deal with the response

select(table, fields, limit).where(filters, ...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

***NB*** : A simple select doesn't return any data. Use ***GET***
instead.

.. code:: python

>>> response = yql.select('geo.countries', ['name', 'code', 'woeid']).where(['name', '=', 'Canada'])
>>> print(pretty_json(response.content))
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2015-06-07T12:10:39Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"place": {
"name": "Canada",
"woeid": "23424775"
}
}
}
}

>>> ...
>>> response = yql.select('geo.countries', ['name', 'woeid'], 2).where(['place', 'in', ('Africa', 'Europe')])
>>> from myql.utils import dump
>>> dump(response)
{
"query": {
"count": 2,
"created": "2015-06-07T12:27:04Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"place": [
{
"name": "Algeria",
"woeid": "23424740"
},
{
"name": "Angola",
"woeid": "23424745"
}
]
}
}
}

>>>

get(table, fields, limit)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Same as ***SELECT***, but instead returns data.

**REMINDER** : Some tables require a **where clause**, therefore
***GET*** won't work on those tables, use *select(...).where(...)*
instead .

.. code:: python

>>> from myql.utils import dump
>>> response = yql.get('geo.countries', ['name', 'woeid'], 1)
>>> dump(response)
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2015-06-07T12:29:01Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"place": {
"name": "Sao Tome and Principe",
"woeid": "23424966"
}
}
}
}

>>>

insert(table, (field1, field2, ..., fieldN),(value1, value2, ..., valueN))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Insert values into a table. Arguments 2 and 3 may be **tuples** or
**list**.

.. code:: python

>>> from myql.utils import pretty_json
>>> response = yql.insert('yql.storage.admin',('value',),('http://josuebrunel.org',))
>>> print(pretty_json(response.content))
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2015-05-14T13:25:56Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"inserted": {
"execute": "store://KkkC5xDw4v32IcWWSQ4YRe",
"select": "store://Zc5LHXcmYM7XBfSbo9tzFL",
"update": "store://Rqb5fbQyDvrfHJiClWnZ6q"
}
}
}
}

update(table,[field1, ..., fieldN],[value1, ..., ...valueN]).where(filters, ...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Update fields values. This method **is always followed by
***where()*****. Arguments 2 and 3 may be **tuples** or **list**.

.. code:: python

>>> from myql.utils import pretty_json
>>> response = yql.update('yql.storage',('value',),('https://josuebrunel.org',)).where(['name','=','store://Rqb5fbQyDvrfHJiClWnZ6q'])
>>> print(pretty_json(response.content))
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2015-05-14T13:32:52Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"success": "Updated store://KkkC5xDw4v32IcWWSQ4YRe"
}
}
}

delete(table).where(filters, ...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Delete records

.. code:: python

>>> from myql.utils import pretty_json
>>> response = self.yql.delete('yql.storage').where(['name','=','store://Rqb5fbQyDvrfHJiClWnZ6q'])
>>> print(pretty_json(response.content))
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2015-05-14T13:38:28Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"success": "store://Rqb5fbQyDvrfHJiClWnZ6q deleted"
}
}
}

Using OAuth
^^^^^^^^^^^

***mYQL*** comes with
***`yahoo\_oauth <http://yahoo-oauth.readthedocs.org/en/master/>`__***,
which is an OAuth library for Yahoo! APIs.

.. code:: python

>>> from yahoo_oauth import OAuth1
>>> oauth = OAuth1(None, None, from_file='credentials.json') # only consumer_key and consumer_secret are required.
>>> from myql import MYQL
>>> yql = MYQL(format='xml', oauth=oauth)
>>> response = yql.get_guid('josue_brunel') # Deal with the response

Stocks Scraper
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
