prestapyt 0.11.1

A library to access Prestashop Web Service from Python.

Prestapyt

prestapyt is a library for Python to interact with the PrestaShop's Web Service API.

Learn more about the PrestaShop Web Service from the Official Prestashop Documentation.

prestapyt is a direct port of the PrestaShop PHP API Client, PSWebServiceLibrary.php

Similar to PSWebServiceLibrary.php, prestapyt is a thin wrapper around the PrestaShop Web Service: it takes care of making the call to your PrestaShop instance's Web Service, supports the Web Service's HTTP-based CRUD operations (handling any errors) and then returns the XML ready for you to work with in Python (as well as prestasac if you work with scala).

Installation

The easiest way to install prestapyt (needs setuptools):

easy_install prestapyt

Or, better, using pip:

pip install prestapyt

If you do not have setuptools, download prestapyt as a .tar.gz or .zip from Prestapyt Source Archives, untar it and run:

python setup.py install

In order to always be uptodate, the best way is to use pip from this repo with the following command :

pip install --ignore-installed git+https://github.com/prestapyt/prestapyt.git@master

Usage

Message as xml

from prestapyt import PrestaShopWebService
prestashop = PrestaShopWebService('http://localhost:8080/api', WEBSERVICE_KEY)

Message as dictionary

from prestapyt import PrestaShopWebServiceDict
prestashop = PrestaShopWebServiceDict('http://localhost:8080/api', WEBSERVICE_KEY)

Search

Get all addresses

prestashop.get('addresses') # will return the same xml message than
prestashop.search('addresses')

Note: when using PrestaShopWebServiceDict prestashop.search('addresses') will return a list of ids.

Search with filters

prestashop.search('addresses', options={'limit': 10})
prestashop.search('addresses', options={'display': '[firstname,lastname]', 'filter[id]': '[1|5]'})

For additional info check reference for the options.

Get single address

prestashop.get('addresses', resource_id=1) or prestashop.get('addresses/1')

returns ElementTree (PrestaShopWebService) or dict (PrestaShopWebServiceDict).

You can use the full api URL

prestashop.get('http://localhost:8080/api/addresses/1')

Head request

prestashop.head('addresses')

Manipulate records

Delete

prestashop.delete('addresses', resource_ids=4)

Delete many records at once

prestashop.delete('addresses', resource_ids=[5,6])

Add record

prestashop.add('addresses', xml)

Edit record

prestashop.edit('addresses', xml)

Get model blank xml schema

prestashop.get('addresses', options={'schema': 'blank'})

Add product image

file_name = 'sample.jpg'
fd = io.open(file_name, "rb")
content = fd.read()
fd.close()

prestashop.add('/images/products/123', files=[('image', file_name, content)])

Thanks to Alex Dean for his port of PSWebServiceLibrary.php to the Scala language, prestasac from which I also inspired my library.
