Installation

$ pip install pinballmap

Quick Start

>>> from pinballmap import PinballMapClient

>>> c = PinballMapClient(location_id=0, region_name="chicago", authentication_token="...", user_email="email@example.com")

# Sync your list of machines by providing a complete list of current Pinball Map machine_ids.
# e.g.:
>>> c.update_map([1423, 22, 33, 44, 423, 55])

# look up games by name, results sorted by match quality:
>>> c.machine_by_name("Game of Thrones (LE)")
({'created_at': '2015-10-22T18:55:02.702Z',
  'id': 2442,
  'ipdb_id': None,
  'ipdb_link': '',
  'is_active': None,
  'machine_group_id': 22,
  'manufacturer': 'Stern',
  'name': 'Game of Thrones (LE)',
  'updated_at': '2015-10-22T18:55:02.702Z',
  'year': 2015}, ...)

Command Line Usage

Limited functionality at this point, but it does a few things.

 >>> pinballmap --help

 usage: pinballmap [-h] [-l LOCATION_ID] [-r REGION_NAME] [-i]
                   [-t AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN] [-e USER_EMAIL] [-p USER_PASSWORD]
                   {search,machine_id,machine_ipdb,loc_machines,get_token}
                   [value [value ...]]

 Interact with the Pinball Map API from the command line.

 positional arguments:
   {search,machine_id,machine_ipdb,loc_machines,get_token}
                         search: finds machine data by name; machine_id: finds
                         machine matching id; machine_ipdb: finds machine by
                         IPDB id; loc_machines: list machines at a location
                         get_token: get an auth token for email and password
   value

 optional arguments:
   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
   -l LOCATION_ID, --location LOCATION_ID
   -r REGION_NAME, --region REGION_NAME
                         region name (e.g., chicago)
   -i, --id-only         return only machine ids for query
   -t AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN, --token AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN
                         API authentication token (needed for all write
                         operations)
   -e USER_EMAIL, --email USER_EMAIL
                         API User email address (required for all write
                         operations)
   -p USER_PASSWORD, --passwword USER_PASSWORD
                         API User password (required if you are not providing a
                         token with -t/--token)

Example Django settings.py

NOTE: Django settings, if present, will take precedence over arguments to PinballMapClient(…)

PINBALL_MAP = {
    'region_name': 'chicago', # a region name to use if not specified in code
    'location_id': your_location_id,  # should be an int
    # email and token are required for all write operations
    'user_email': '...', # your pinball map account email, needed for write operations
    'user_password': '...', # your pinball map password, needed for write operations (not needed with token)
    'authentication_token': '...', # your pinball map api token, needed for write operations
    'cache_name': 'default',  # default: 'default'
    'cache_key_prefix': 'pmap_',  # default: 'pmap_'
}

Example Django management command

Create yourapp/management/commands/update_pinball_map.py and use this as a starting point:

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, CommandError
from pinballmap import PinballMapClient
from yourapp.somewhere import get_current_game_list


class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = 'Update the Pinball Map API. Adds/removes machines from our location.'

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        try:
            games = get_current_game_list()  # ← your code provides a list of current IDs
            # no args needed if you used Django settings as shown above:
            c = PinballMapClient()
            c.update_map([g.pinball_map_id for g in games])
            self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS("Pinball Map updated."))
        except Exception as err:
            self.stderr.write(self.style.ERROR("Could not update pinball map because: {}".format(err)))

Change Log

0.4.6

  • giving up on RTD theme for now - conflict on ReadTheDocs between Sphinx 8 and the theme

  • fix build to include this README

  • add .readthedocs.yaml so docs can build

  • updated minimum Python version to 3.11

  • updated some incorrect information

  • updated dependencies

  • fixed Poetry config so it can install, build, and publish properly

0.3.6

  • fixed a bug where code expected the wrong status code

  • changed from using requirements.txt to Poetry for package management

  • did a bit of code reorganization

0.3.4

  • hopefully fix docs

  • fix error from bumpversion

0.3.3

  • requires Python 3.6

  • CLI catches authentication errors more cleanly

  • mostly code cleanups

  • help outputs version # of python-pinballmap and Pinball Map API version supported

  • all python code is now formatted using black

0.2.0

  • breaking change: PinballMapClient now takes keyword arguments, old ordered argument syntax will no longer work

  • now supports authentication tokens, signup process, getting auth details

  • now uses https by default

  • fix dry-run bug

0.1.2

  • initial release

Roadmap

  • update command line interface to support signup and getting auth details

  • eventually support all API actions, such as scores, machine conditions, etc.
